Off-Grid Augmented Reality as a Method for First-Time Performance of Orthopaedic Procedures by Novice Medical Learners in a Rural Environment
2d ago00:05:52Tap to summarizeOrthopaedic care is limited in rural U.S. regions and globally. While telemedicine has improved access, barriers remain when clinicians must perform orthopaedic procedures without prior experience or in-person guidance. Off-grid augmented reality (AR) offers real-time visual feedback and support, potentially expanding orthopaedic care in underserved areas.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Radiographic Measurements in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Accuracy of Preoperative Planning
4d ago00:05:31Tap to summarizeThe use of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) planning software has increased when preparing for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Malpositioning of the glenoid baseplate and, subsequently, the glenosphere has been linked to poor patient outcomes and increased rates of revisions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the radiographic measurements, version, inclination, and RSA angle, in preoperative imaging, the preoperative plan, and postoperative imaging.

6d ago00:05:38Tap to summarizeVariable operating room (OR) staffing reduces efficiency in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Prior studies show consistent OR teams improve efficiency; however, the impact of a single dedicated team member (DTM) in variable staffing settings is unknown and may be more achievable for a given surgeon. This study evaluated the impact of adding a DTM on OR efficiency and cost.

1w ago00:06:32Tap to summarizeThe purpose of this study was to provide a detailed summary of current publicly available primary and secondary literature, databases, and websites reporting sports-related injuries among male and female collegiate and professional athletes in the United States of America (U.S.A.) to determine whether gender disparities exist in injury reporting.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Evaluating the Baseline Risk Factors and Post-operative Outcomes of Patients Internally Referred to a Subspecialist Surgeon for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Pilot Study
1w ago00:06:02Tap to summarizeOrthopaedic surgeons who perform primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may often refer more complex patients to specialty-trained arthroplasty surgeons for definitive treatment. While this practice is often appropriate for optimal patient care, these internal referrals may represent a population that is associated with higher baseline risk and worse outcomes. This study aims to identify the risk factors and outcomes associated with primary TKA patients who are referred to subspecialists.

Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Evaluating Factors Influencing Patient Reviews: Variations in Professional Credentials and Demographics of Orthopedic Oncologists
2w ago00:06:25Tap to summarizeOrthopedic oncology depends on strong patient-provider relationships and advanced expertise. Patients in this specialized and nuanced field rely on online platforms, such as U.S. News & World Report (USNWR), to guide their decision-making. While these platforms provide insights into patient satisfaction, they may fail to capture critical nuances such as academic background, research focus, and training recency. This study aims to evaluate the influence of U.S. News physician ratings on patient perceptions of orthopedic oncologists and their correlation with professional credentials.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Voices in Orthopaedics™…The Unionized Orthopod: Apprenticeship, Labor, and the Changing Identity of Orthopedic Residency at Jefferson
2w ago00:05:51Tap to summarizeResident physician unionization has accelerated across the United States in recent years, reflecting broader changes in healthcare systems, physician expectations, and the economics of medical training. At Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, residents recently voted to unionize and are currently in the midst of contract negotiations, placing these national conversations directly into the daily lives of trainees across all specialties here. Within orthopedic surgery, these issues carry unique complexity. Orthopedic residency has historically embraced an apprenticeship model deeply rooted in long hours, graduated autonomy, mentorship, and personal sacrifice. Residents are not merely employees performing labor, but trainees undergoing professional and personal development. The emergence of organized labor within residency programs therefore raises challenging questions. Are orthopedic residents primarily learners or workers? Can surgical training maintain its apprenticeship ethos within increasingly contractual labor structures? Which aspects of residency hardship are educationally meaningful versus unnecessarily burdensome? This editorial explores the evolving intersection of unionization and orthopedic residency culture through the lens of modern orthopedic resident trainees at Rothman Orthopedics at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

2w ago00:06:40Tap to summarizeA few months ago, Dr. Buch called me and asked “Hey Chris, you know cones are expensive. Should we really be using them?” And I thought “that’s a pretty easy question.” We’re using cones all the time! We want to optimize fixation, but did it get me thinking, when should we be using cones in metaphyseal fixation? And what is the evidence? What are the finances behind it? You know really break it down.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: An Assessment of the Top 100 Most-Liked Orthopaedic Surgery TikTok Videos
2w ago00:05:51Tap to summarizeThe wide reach and unique short audiovisual nature of TikTok make it a potential modality for disseminating information about orthopaedic surgery to both patients and medical professionals. However, only a few recent studies have assessed the purpose and creators of orthopaedic surgery content on TikTok.
