How can we advance #HealthEquity in orthopaedics for patients who speak a language other than English? 🌍

Our team outlines key strategies & implementation tasks in our latest @jbjs article.

Grateful for the team effort! 🙌 @BoneDoc95 @Victohug @rodarte_valles

Language matters in patient engagement for joint replacement. 🦵🗣️

Our research found significant disparities in pre-op education & PROM completion.

📝 More support needed for non-English speakers!

Thank you @OfficialJAAOS.
Grateful for the teamwork. #orthotwitter

Excited about our latest publication! AI falls short in enhancing the readability of Spanish-language orthopedic PEMs. Grateful for all the team effort! Thank you @Clinorthop for sharing our work. #orthotwitter

[Victor H Hernandez, MD, MSc. FAAOS @Victohug]

🌍 Health equity starts with accessible education! 🏥

AI struggles to improve the readability of Spanish orthopedic materials while maintaining accuracy. More work is needed to create culturally appropriate resources for non-English-speaking patients.

Our impactful paper in Journal of Children's Orthopedics analyzes frequently searched questions related to DDH treatment 🧐

We found distinct patterns in online search queries that provide insight into parents’ concerns about DDH 🤝

#NewPublication: A study co-authored by Linda Suleiman, MD (@LindaSuleimanMD), saw that minority patients have been shown to underutilize total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to non-Hispanic white patients. Specific drivers of this underutilization have yet to be identified. In this study, scientists sought to determine if racial concordance between patient and physician is associated with the surgeon’s likelihood to recommend TKA. Read the full study:

On my overnight ED call yesterday, more than 50% of the patients I cared for were Spanish speaking only. Being able to bypass the need for an interpreter streamlined their care and helped create quick rapport. Better language access leads to better health outcomes!

Enjoyed presenting our study establishing recommended MCID and SCB thresholds for RTSA PROMs at @OrthoSummit 2024 in Las Vegas. Thank you to my co-authors @RobertLParisien @JohnDKellyIVMD @MNMegafu @BillLevineMD and fellow @IcahnMountSinai students @_teo97 @rodbusigo

[Julio Nerys-Figueroa @nerys_julio]

I had the privilege of presenting at @OrthoSummit a randomized control trial l've been working on over the past year. It was an incredible experience reconnecting with friends, learning from top orthopedic surgeons, and gaining valuable insights 👨🏻‍⚕️🧠💯 #OSET2024

[Rodnell Busigó Torres @rodbusigo]

Had an amazing time presenting our project on how racial disparities in TKA outcomes may differ across social deprivation levels at @OrthoSummit in Vegas! Huge thanks to my mentors for their support. #orthotwitter

[Rodnell Busigó Torres @rodbusigo]

I'm deeply honored to have Dr. Navarro write a #CORRInsights from our paper, emphasizing the critical need for further research in this area. @BoneDoc95 #orthotwitter

[CORR @Clinorthop]

"It is clear from Busigo Torres et al. that to fully assess this area, the definition of limited English language proficiency must be standardized," writes Ronald Navarro in a #CORRInsights. "Of course this will take time & a bit of bureaucratic advocacy." https://t.co/AGZA7NTKgb

[CORR @Clinorthop]

In a systematic review, Busigo Torres et al. found that patients w/limited English proficiency were less likely to complete PROMs or use patient portals, and more likely to experience longer hospital stays & nonhome discharges. #healthequity #orthoTwitter https://t.co/51FR9Nnvfn

Had a fantastic time presenting at @southernortho1! Our project highlighted disparities in TKA outcomes in Puerto Rico🇵🇷 compared to the US mainland, potentially due to reduced healthcare funding as a US territory. Grateful for the support from my mentors. #SOA2024 #orthotwitter

Sleep can be vaccine for sports injuries 💤

In this study adolescent athletes who slept less than 8hrs per night were 1.7 times more likely to sustain an injury  than those who slept >8hrs.

How often do we ask about our athlete's sleep? Not enough I reckon...
