Are your outcome measures truly measuring change?
This article https://t.co/hvI4FCF0fM explains how Rasch analysis improves PROM development by modelling item difficulty and person ability, converting ordinal scores into interval-level measures with greater precision.
A must-read for clinicians and researchers using functional outcome measures.
"Doctor" originally meant teacher.
The word comes from the Latin docēre—to teach.
At ddd, we believe patient understanding is one of the most powerful tools in healthcare.

Ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery is redefining the future of spine care, and Arthrex is leading the way.
Our Level I Endoscopic Approaches to Spine course builds a strong foundation in core concepts and techniques. Now, we’re expanding that journey. Recently, Arthrex hosted its first Level III course, in Naples, FL, marking the next step in advanced surgeon education.
This course is designed for surgeons who have completed both Level I and Level II training and who are ready to advance their skills. The structured, skills-focused curriculum helps surgeons grow confidently and consistently in endoscopic spine surgery.
Arthrex Spine is committed to advancing ultra-minimally invasive spine solutions, supported by an extensive education infrastructure to ensure that surgeons are trained on the safe and effective use of our products and techniques. If you are interested in our signature educational curriculum pathway for incorporating Arthrex endoscopic spine into your practice, please review our list of upcoming courses and connect with an Arthrex representative: https://t.co/yHqAjelMwh

Arthrex Spine was proud to participate in the 14th Annual Global Spine Congress (GSC) in Istanbul, Turkey!
As a premier, world-class event, GSC brings together thousands of spine surgeons from around the globe, welcoming more than 2,000 attendees this year, including 65 participants in our hands-on workshop.
“What’s truly amazing is seeing how much endoscopy is represented in the current state of spine surgery worldwide,” said Arthrex faculty surgeon, Mark Mahan, MD.
At Arthrex Spine, we are driven by an unwavering commitment to innovation, world-class surgeon education, and cutting-edge scientific research. Together, we’re expanding treatment possibilities, improving practice efficiency, and helping patients return to active, healthy lives.

@drmankad Perhaps more offloading while scrolling? This simple off loading exercise coined chair-care, could offer a simple strategy to reduce disc height loss in the young spine.
Cervical instability isn’t just imaging—it’s motion.
This model shows facet joints approximating too quickly, driving neck pain.
Seeing the mechanism builds understanding and strengthens the therapeutic alliance.
Building on Arthrex’s strong tradition of training fellows, we’re proud to announce the resounding success of the Arthrex Ultra-Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Spine Fellowship Forum!
This technique-focused program immerses orthopedic spine fellows and 7th-year neurosurgery residents in ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery through didactic sessions, live surgical demonstrations, and hands-on lab training, delivering comprehensive exposure to the latest instrumentation and techniques.
The Fellowship Forum is one touchpoint in Arthrex's year-long Ultra-Minimally Invasive Spine Fellowship Program, running August through June. Intentionally structured to compress the endoscopic learning curve, the curriculum layers live and virtual didactics with hands-on lab experiences, ensuring fellows build real, applicable skills throughout the year.
What sets this fellowship apart goes beyond technique. Fellows move through the program as a cohort, learning, evolving, and pushing boundaries together. The connections built here don't end at graduation. They become the professional network and collective drive that advances the field.

Low back injury risk in deadlifting is not explained by spinal posture alone. A more precise framework integrates load management, movement variability, dynamic trunk control, and individual adaptation. https://t.co/QVbR6wz8Gw
8 out of 10 adults will experience back pain in their lifetime. [1-2]
This past Saturday, just before the Masters teed off on CBS, we asked: What if back pain didn't have to stop you?
Spine surgery is evolving, and Arthrex is helping lead the way. Endoscopic spine surgery is an ultra-minimally invasive approach that, in many cases, can be performed outpatient; you may go home the same day. A faster return to the life you love. [3-4]
