The Knee Society Supplement 2020
Description
In this month's episode of The BJJ Podcast, host Andrew Duckworth welcomes listeners to discuss the June Supplement of The Bone & Joint Journal (BJJ) featuring key insights from the 2019 American Knee Society closed meeting. Joining him are Professor Fares Haddad, the journal's editor-in-chief, and Dr. Brian Springer, who oversees the Knee Supplement. The discussion highlights the evolution of The Knee Society, its pivotal role in advancing knee surgery, and the collaborative efforts in research and education.
The episode delves into the ten themes emerging from the supplement, notably addressing infection management, revisions of knee replacements, innovations in unicompartimental knee as well as the integration of technology like robotics and artificial intelligence in orthopedic care. The hosts also outline the rigorous peer-review process that each paper undergoes, which ensures the publication of high-quality, impactful research.
Key topics include findings on prosthetic joint infection, a trial on perioperative amino acid supplementation for early recovery after total knee arthroplasties, and the implications of shifting total knee replacements to an outpatient procedure, affecting bundled care finances.
Prof. Haddad shares insights into the wider implications of the research for global orthopedic practices, advocating for increased collaboration in the field. The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to engage with the content and highlights the value of the supplement for orthopedic professionals.
