@baslerMD @jointdocShields @generalorthomd @EdinburghKnee @BrianChalmersMD @djschuett @jaimelbellamyDO @sahipkneedoc Innovative approach. The extra support makes sense in the revision setting with those large voids. Have you seen any hardware irritation from the screw prominence anterior?

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

Recon experts, how is everyone approaching the patella during TKA in the setting of OA with primarily PF symptoms and a very thin remaining patella? @jointdocShields @generalorthomd @EdinburghKnee @BrianChalmersMD @djschuett @jaimelbellamyDO @sahipkneedoc

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

@sahipkneedoc @jointdocShields @generalorthomd @EdinburghKnee @BrianChalmersMD @djschuett @jaimelbellamyDO Thanks for the input! Does it change your planning if their symptoms are primarily in the PF region? Have you found that the femoral component does the bulk of the work in symptom relief for these?

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

@SeanDreyer Look at the number for those who DIDN’T match. 32 for NSGY, 26 for plastics, 18 for ortho… makes you wonder. Unfortunately research numbers seems to have become a checkbox as a baseline to apply and not truly an indicator of successful physician

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

@RugbyMD One of my stock replies to patients who ask about this type of situation is that there’s a reason these folks only take cash. I’m blown away that they can convince patients to pay $15-30k….

@DrGrantHogue Metformin?

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

@DrMarecek Statistically significant but as a whole not a huge increase risk at 1 year. (3.00% vs 3.95%). Many patients may take that marginally increased risk to alleviate their preop symptoms in one procedure rather than waiting 3 additional months.

[Stuart J Davidson MD, ABOSD, FAAHKS @DavidsonOrthoMD]

@rkh_md @generalorthomd Had the same this week. 2 days postop from a THA…clearly cracked the femur intraop. Called them and the response was “I’m going on vacation in two days, I can’t take care of it”

[Atul Grover, MD, PhD @AtulGroverMD]

"Hip replacement patients thought their doctor should be paid $14,358 for a total hip replacement

and estimated that Medicare was paying out $8,212 for the procedure.

The actual amount that Medicare paid out? A paltry $1,375"

[ProPublica @propublica]

On a recorded call, a @UHC nurse and an insurance broker laugh while discussing a patient whose claim had just been rejected.

They agree that any appeal would be a waste of the family’s time and money:

“We’re still gonna say no.”

Just a reminder that for-profit insurance companies don’t care about you, and are a big reason for increasing healthcare costs.
