    Anterior Hip Replacement
    May 5 2026

    In this episode of IBJI’s OrthoInform, host Cory Leman sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Ackerman to break down everything you need to know about hip pain, arthritis, and modern hip replacement—especially the anterior approach. Dr. Ackerman explains what’s really happening inside the hip joint as cartilage wears down, why stiffness and pain develop over time, and how to recognize when it’s more than just minor discomfort. Using simple, relatable analogies, he helps listeners understand when hip pain becomes a serious issue and what warning signs signal it’s time to seek help.

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Eric Chehab and Dr. Steve Mardjetko discuss scoliosis, explaining it as a three-dimensional spinal curve most often identified in children over age 10. They talk about how treatment is based on the size of the curve and how much a child still has to grow, ranging from simply watching small curves to using a back brace for moderate ones. The doctors also describe how larger curves may require surgery to prevent long-term health issues in adulthood, noting that modern medical advancements now allow most kids to be up and walking the day after their procedure.

  • Knee Preservation vs. Replacement

    Knee Preservation vs. Replacement
    Mar 5 2026
    In this episode of OrthoInform, Dr. Eric Chehab and Dr. Alexander Tauchen discuss managing knee arthritis, noting that patients are often surprised by the diagnosis since the condition can remain asymptomatic until a minor injury triggers significant pain. Dr. Tauchen advocates for a "joint preservation" approach first, utilizing activity modification, weight loss, physical therapy, and injections like cortisone or visco-supplementation. While acknowledging the popularity of biologics like PRP and stem cells, he cautions that there is no clinical data proving they can regrow cartilage in "bone-on-bone" cases. Ultimately, surgery—whether a partial replacement to preserve natural ligaments or a total replacement for widespread disease—is reserved for when a patient is "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and seeks to restore their daily quality of life.
