@orthobullets @AAHips @jointdocShields @BenKuhnsMD @drsebheaven @itius @RugbyMD @BrianChalmersMD @KevinParkMD @Ortho_Deck @Dr_Stambough I hate shortening the leg but I think that's the only move here. Probably unlikely changing the headball will be powerful enough. Likely going to need to revise the stem. Then some prayers instability or infection don't become a new problem.

Here is a new case by Dr. Jonathan Yerasimides and Louisville Institute of Orthopaedics. GROIN PAIN AND LEG LENGTH DISCREPANCY S/P THA IN 65F This case will be discussed at the Anterior Hip Foundation (@AAHips) 2026 "Consensus & Controversy" in Nashville, Tennessee, June 5-6, 2026. How would you manage this #orthotwitter? Vote on this case for CME: orthobullets.tiny.us/yudd4as3

@Davembmd This is some real like Ironman stuff

@northwoods1980 You’re missing arbitrary insurance rules for approving TJA

Call me simple, but I’ve never fully understood the logic of chasing short-term results. For example, using steroid injections in an arthritic joint when the patient already knows they’ll eventually need a replacement. I can see the value if there’s a specific short-term goal like getting through a big event or an active summer but I doubt that’s the case in most scenarios. If me, I wouldn’t want steroids injected into my body I’d rather just have the joint replacement and move on with life. What am I missing? How often do you actually see a patient become asymptomatic after a steroid injection and enjoy years of relief? From what I’ve seen, the literature shows worse outcomes in patients who undergo multiple injections before eventually having arthroplasty. On top of that, steroids can harm bone health and have other neg physiologic effects. It feels like I’m missing something important here.

@KennDennison big game 1. 23pts, 3 3PM. @Elite80WBB has been a great experience playing with a bunch of talented players.

@JArthroplasty Absolutely ridiculous conclusion based on a FE analysis. @JArthroplasty should be embarrassed for quoting this.

The wear of prostheses during various ADLs was different, more attention should be paid to the influence of ADLs on the wear evaluation and prosthesis design. TKA patients need to choose daily activities cautiously to prolong the life of the prosthesis. #fig1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

@generalorthomd The less common, tough cases are always hard and hard for everyone. I’ve seen many surgeons stop doing these cases with all number of justifications. Reality is that’s a disservice to patients and partners. Keep doing the hard stuff, though I know you will.

Things that I’m realizing 7 years into practice: as I get better and more efficient at the surgeries I do with some frequency, the uncommon, difficult cases are much more frustrating.

@generalorthomd My 8 yr old practices 5:30-7:30 M/Tu/Th and the season is 5 months long. And they expect parents to stay for the entire practice. Its a big ask for 3rd graders...

My son’s high school football team has practice M-TH 4:15-7pm, Fri 6am (they don’t have school on fridays) and mandatory 1:30-3 hour training in the summer. And they are wondering why more kids don’t go out for the football team.

Game 2 Co-Player of the Games for Team Yellow, @KennDennison @ccampbell_2027 !

@JArthroplasty But why. The patella is rarely the issue in these multiply revised knees with thin patellae. This is inviting disaster.

The TM-backed patellar components affixed with mini fragment screws have excellent short-term survivorship in the setting of limited bone stock. Further investigations with longer follow-ups and better levels of evidence are needed. #fig1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

@northwoods1980 For many of these conditions the non operative options are limited. Often PT/injections. Patients will drive this as they see injections as a “quicker” fix. Insurance will drive it as they require trial even in severe cases. The example above with lateral elbow pain is difficult

I think one of my biggest complaints with some orthopedic practices is their ridiculous use of steroid injections as if we have data to support so many of these injections around joints, etc. Where and why did this ever start? Is it a reimbursement situation?

@RugbyMD @jbjs There is level 1 data on this topic that contradicts this take. But we should place more weight on this chart review study. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Should we be spanning the entire femur for fragility fractures around the hip? My thoughts on a recent @jbjs article Intertrochanteric and Pertrochanteric Fragility Fractures: Go Long or Go Home? orthobuzz.jbjs.org/2025/08/07/int…

Congratulations to Iowa starting Point Guard Bennett Stirtz on getting engaged. Go Hawks!

@ArthroToday @generalorthomd @denehy1 @neiltheknee @DrCafferky @ashtongoldmanmd Now do manual…

Study finds 1◦-2◦ difference between planned and postoperative radiographic sagittal alignment in robotic-assisted TKA. Is that still a perfect cut? @generalorthomd @denehy1 @neiltheknee @DrCafferky VA: @ashtongoldmanmd arthroplastytoday.org/article/S2352-…

@generalorthomd You get tons done. Wouldn’t be medical or work is my guess.

I couldn’t live here and get anything done.
