Excited to share our newest research out of Duke Orthopaedic Surgery in the The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. focusing on the ethical and policy considerations of orthopaedic care for incarcerated individuals. The reality of mass incarceration poses a severe public health challenge in the U.S., bringing to light the ethical dilemmas and policy hurdles orthopaedic surgeons face in providing care to this marginalized group, especially concerning fracture treatment. Finding solutions is complex, yet it’s crucial that we, as medical professionals, stay true to our ethical obligations, ensuring we not only preserve but also champion the dignity of our patients under all circumstances. 🔗 Article link below. #orthopedicsurgery #healthequity #massincarceration #ethics #healthpolicy https://lnkd.in/enmQ7eAE

Several IODA members recently contributed to a study published in the The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. this month on 'Overcoming the Barriers to Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Global Perspective'. The research highlights the persistent lack of diversity in global orthopaedics – identifying structural barriers such as demanding training schedules, relocations, and bias in selection processes. The study also emphasises cultural barriers, including perceptions of an unhealthy work-life balance and a "boys' club" atmosphere. The study found that structural and cultural barriers need to be addressed to improve diversity in orthopaedics. Promoting a culture supportive of all surgeons is essential to reframing perceptions that may prevent individuals from even considering a career as an orthopaedic surgeon. Changing attitudes requires focused efforts from committed leadership in a "top-down" approach that prioritises diversity.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I frequently present at Orthopaedic congresses and provide training to fellow surgeons in the field. The health of my patients is incredibly important to me. Being an Orthopaedic surgeon is not my hobby, it is my passion. www.newlimb.co.za #DrAndreOlivier #NewlimbOrthopeadics #VergelegenMediClinic #SomersetWest #ListOfServices #ArthroscopicSurgery #TotalHipReplacement #TotalKneeReplacement #RevisionArthroplasty #OrthopeadicOncology #Surgeon #kneesurgery #kneereplacementrecovery #orthopedicsurgeon #surgery #kneereplacementsurgery #orthopaedics #ortho #jointpain #health #orthopaedic #doctor #osteoporosis #pain

interesting facts..showing the Art of Scientific Innovation in Orthopedics.

We asked Chat GPT to anser orthopaedic trauma related questions for three different target groups: patient, nonorthopaedic medical doctor and expert orthopaedic surgeon. Examples of questions were: 1.     What is the recommended treatment of a femoral shaft fracture in an adult? 2.     Which are the indications for radial head replacement after trauma to the elbow? 3.     What is the reoperation rate after undisplaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients? Full list as supplement for online paper. ChatGPT was asked to answer in an umber of sentences in relation to target group, more detailed and longer answers to experts. The study results indicate that ChatGPT can yield valuable and overall correct responses in the context of orthopaedic trauma surgery across different target groups.

Orthopedic Surgeons on Track to Earn Less Than Taco Bell Workers If current trends continue, patients are in big trouble. Declining reimbursements to surgeons under Medicare and private insurance for total joint replacement procedures are creating an untenable situation, researchers warned. Already, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' (AAOS) annual meeting, hourly rates for early-career orthopedic surgeons performing hip replacements are about the same as for dentists and travel nurses. And the same group projected that Medicare payments to physicians for hip replacement surgeries would drop below $11 per hour if the current downward-accelerating trend continues. https://lnkd.in/dH2CbRYp #medicalpractice #medicine #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedicsurgeon

Evidence of Benefit of #Telerehabilitation After Orthopedic Surgery 🚑✨ Telerehabilitation: A New Horizon for Post-Surgical Recovery! ✨🚑 Recent studies show that telerehabilitation, or remote rehabilitation, can offer significant benefits for patients after orthopedic surgery. 🔍🏥 📚 What does the study say? A systematic review examined the effectiveness of telerehabilitation post-orthopedic surgery, highlighting: 📈 Functional Improvements: Increased mobility and muscle strength. 🏋️♂️ Enhanced Adherence: Higher adherence to rehabilitation programs thanks to the convenience of home exercises. 💰 Cost Reduction: Lower healthcare expenses and reduced travel time for patients. 🕒 Time Savings: Greater flexibility in managing rehabilitation schedules. 💡 Why is this important? Telerehabilitation offers a viable alternative to traditional rehabilitation, especially for those who have difficulty traveling to clinics. This innovative approach not only improves clinical outcomes but also facilitates access to care, making the recovery journey more convenient and personalized. 🏠💻 A Future of Home-Based Care! As technology advances, telerehabilitation represents the future of post-surgical rehabilitation, promoting faster and more efficient recovery from the comfort of your home. Stay updated on the latest medical innovations and learn more about the benefits of telerehabilitation! 🌐💙 #Telerehabilitation #Rehabilitation #Orthopedics #MedicalInnovation #PostSurgicalRecovery #Healthcare #Wellbeing https://lnkd.in/dgMivhBf

There are a plethora of misconceptions about orthopaedics. Let's break some stereotypes. One common misconception is that orthopaedic surgeons are focused on surgery, often dismissing non-surgical treatments. In reality, we believe in a holistic approach to patient care. We work collaboratively with physical therapists, pain management specialists, and other healthcare professionals to explore all non-surgical options. Furthermore, orthopaedic surgeons are sometimes labelled the 'carpenters of medicine', focusing solely on mechanical fixes, like screws and plates. This stereotype ignores the complexity of the biological and medical aspects of musculoskeletal health that orthopaedists must understand. Stay tuned as I continue to break down more stereotypes in orthopaedics. #Orthopaedics #DrSekeitto #Stereotypes #Misconceptions
