Performed Charlotte’s first augmented reality enhanced TKA this week. Purported benefits include better precision & reduced need for preoperative planning x-rays. Will it push the needle forward? What do you think? Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute OrthoCarolina #orthotwitter

A different augmented reality…What I love about arthroplasty is the variety of challenges a single joint can present if you’re willing to get dirty. Do you use acetabular augments? What are your indications?Jeff Stambough, MD, FAAOS OrthoCarolina Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute OCRI

Excellent The Journal of Arthroplasty article by my friend Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD and his partners OrthoCarolina Stems in some primary tibias are here to stay arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

In the sagittal plane, long tibial stems can cause impingement resulting in baseplate malpositioning, diminished cement mantle, or fracture.

Not starting the year with a revision, so doing the next best thing this morning. How are y’all welcoming 2022?

I was in the middle of my 5th revision of the week Friday afternoon. The CRNA came across the drape to observe the surgical field and asked, “Are you comfortable with this amount of blood loss?” Indeed, I was. How would you respond? Christopher Pelt, MD Naan Derthaal, DO, FAAOS Dr. Kate Wynne @BoneDocMMD

On a 5 hr delay for blood, how do you spend your time? Research, time with family, exercise, errands, journal peer reviews, creat talks? I try to fill the hours with things to save me time somewhere else. #orthotwitter Brian Chalmers John Shields, MD, FAAOS Dr. Claudette Lajam Elizabeth Gausden

Still need longer-term data but short cemented stems through a cone in knee revision appear to work well. Chad A Krueger, MD, FAAOS Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD @BryanSpringer14 OrthoCarolina doi.org/10.1016/j.arth…

OrthoCarolina Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between pre-resection nutrition status and success of planned two-stage exchange for PJI. We have more we want to explore on this topic as well! Michael Valenzuela, DO Susan Odum, PhD Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD AAOS #AAOS2022

OrthoCarolina Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute Michael Valenzuela, DO Susan Odum, PhD Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD AAOS Up next... In this randomized clinical trial we wanted to know, "What are the risk factors that influence the development of AKI in patients who undergo 1 or 2 stage revision for #PJI?"

OrthoCarolina Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute Michael Valenzuela, DO Susan Odum, PhD Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD AAOS Our 3rd poster on display today found that in light of the fact that 31% of our patients had positive intramedullary cultures, this simple addition to an articulating spacer has the potential to improve 2-stage results. #PJI Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD AAOS #aaos2022

I do my total knees under oxygen deprivation.

Calling all AAHKS members! Please help us out! We are looking to find out how you do a cemented TKA. It turns out, we may not all do things the same way. Please check your email and click on the link to the survey that was sent out this morning! #orthotwitter #MedTwitter

Madelyn Curry, BSN, has been with #WashUOrtho for 20 years! She's had a front row seat to the advancements of #orthopedics (i.e. total hip replacement patients going from a two-week hospital stay to returning home the night of their outpatient operation). bit.ly/3TidxBA

Honored to present on Periprosthetic Joint Infection at Specialty Day in Las Vegas, NV HipSocietyKneeSociety #AAOS2023 #LasVegas

Wonderful visit to Houston Methodist to deliver grand rounds, waving the banner for PJI centers in the United States.

Grand Rounds in Providence, RI at the prestigious Brown Orthopaedics was a phenomenal experience. Raising awareness on a devastating condition, PJI. OrthoCarolina OCRI
