Show Notes
The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kim K. Tucker, MD, and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Ran Schwarzkopf, MD, MSc and Christopher E. Pelt, MD to discuss three different papers, all focusing on corticosteroid injections – do they actually help and at what cost?
These injections have long been a part of the diagnostic and therapeutic toolkit, but recent data raise questions about their durability and safety—particularly before arthroplasty. Our gracious guests responded to questions such as how they counsel patients requesting a hip CSI given this limited benefit and potential infection signal, how they plan fixation when bone quality is compromised from RPOA and if there are posterior-specific technical pearls (capsular repair, retractor placement) that help minimize GT pain and so much more!
In this recording, our guests tackle three different angles of corticosteroid use, but a common thread between them all were that they’re not as benign as once thought. For more, listen to the full recording here.

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode that focuses on the operating room. In this episode, we’ll be discussing how we navigate the moments in total hip arthroplasty when things don’t go exactly as planned. Although we spend a great deal of time in arthroplasty on pre optimization, challenges are inevitable, even in well selected patients. But we’ll look at how we respond during those moments that ultimately define the outcomes.

Insall award-winning study on Functional Versus Mechanical Aligment in Total Knee Arthroplasty.
The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you a very special episode on a topic that we rarely discuss – the surgeon. In this episode, our hosts Kim Tucker, MD and Carlos A. Higuera-Rueda, MD, FAAOS speak with our highly accomplished guests Peter A. Gold, MD and Nana O. Sarpong, MD, MBA on the topic of “physician burnout” that’s garnering a fair amount of attention in recent months. So, how do we preserve the surgeon to avoid burnout when in modern times surgeons are no longer just surgeons but clinicians, technicians, administrators and team leaders and often in the same day.
