Welcome to the latest episode of the see one / do one podcast. In this episode we talk all about research.

Hold on - we know this could be a somewhat dry topic, but not when done in our unique orthohub way!

Our guests are Matt Costa and Dan Perry, two TITANS of orthopaedic academia who get their message across very well, and are great value too!

Matt is a Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma at the University of Oxford and has been a leading light in the rise of the pragmatic trial - research done in the real world that directly impacts our daily work and how we actually treat patients.

Dan is an NIHR Professor of Children's Surgery and Emergency Care and leads global randomised clinical trials in paediatric orthopaedic surgery and paediatric acute care. He is also a current ABC Fellow. Dan's research focuses on epidemiology and effectiveness research. He has an interest in 'big data' and clinical trials of orthopaedic interventions.

In this wide-ranging and fun conversation we cover many different topics including:

• their very different journeys into research and the world of academia
• the problem with pragmatic trials, and why they have upset some of the orthopaedic community
• the ying and yang between academics in their "ivory towers" vs everyone else in the "real world"
• the challenges with multi-centre / international collaborations
• does being good at academia impact how good you are at operating
• how juniors undertaking research can avoid being taken for a ride
• how do we stop poor quality research
• are journals a scam
• the future of research and impact
• and much more!

We are joined by four top-notch guests with their fingers on the pulse in Tim Spalding, Pete Thompson, Sanjay Anand and Henry Bourke.

Kash is in heaven as he can finally talk about some 'PROPER' orthopaedics!

He and the other speakers discuss the latest techniques and evidence arising, but let's face it- what we really want to know is how applicable is this all really  to our daily practices, and what it is that they actually  do.

Join us for lots of practical tips and tricks, learn about any changes the guests may make to their practices based on what they heard, and find out what things they definitely will not  be adopting!

Topics discussed include:

• the latest in graft choices for ACL reconstruction
• tips and tricks for harvesting and implanting BTB grafts
• fixation options for lateral tenodesis, and how much rotatory control does it actually give you?
• patella stabilisation, MPFL reconstruction and trochleoplasty
• the evolution of tibial osteotomy
• what to actually (really) inject for early knee OA
• the role of biologics and what is the role (if any) for PRP
• managing cartilage defects
• cell based treatments vs osteochondral allografts
• the challenge of allograft supply and working with tissue banks
• meniscal repair and how to perform MCL release to obtain full access to the posterior horn and not damage cartilage
• how best to manage meniscal root tears

Join our new orthohub see one do / one episode on the difference between diversity, inclusion and equity with Johnson & Johnson’s Executive Board members, Hani Abouhalka and Lucy Morrisey!

Discover what exactly is it - is it some passing fad that we need to be seen to doffing our cap at to tick a box, or is it something we should all be putting right at the core of what we do?

Our two special guests help us explore this in our own particular way!

Hani Abouhalka is the company group chairman for Johnson & Johnson medical devices in Europe, the Middle East & Africa and is responsible for J&J's medical device businesses encompassing surgical technology, orthopaedics, cardiovascular and specialty solutions. He is the executive sponsor of the Women's Leadership & Inclusion employee resource group and a board member of the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, a charity responsible for managing J&J's community impact programme.

We are also fortunate to be joined by Lucy Morrisey, who was previously blessed to have been Kash and Pete's boss at Barts as the Divisional Manager for Emergency Care and Trauma. She has previously spent time at the UCL Institute of Health Equity, as well as in senior management roles within some of London’s largest hospitals where she led large service transformation agendas. Lucy took the role of ‘Silver Command’ for the NHS cyber-attack and the London Bridge terrorist attack. She is now a director in the Strategic Capabilities team at Johnson & Johnson and the Women’s Leadership Initiative Pillar Lead for UK and Ireland. 

Lucy discusses her experiences of diversity and inclusion and brings a uniquely broad lens covering healthcare, the NHS and the corporate world. She also tells us just how much she misses working with orthopaedic surgeons…

In this wide-ranging conversation we cover many different topics including:
• what exactly are diversity, inclusion, equality and equity and why do they even matter?
• the value of role modelling, mentoring and sponsorship
• why do we need to change if everything is working fine as it is?
• is diversity and inclusion just trendy and “woke”, or does it hold real value?
• what does it look like when it’s done well?
• why would anyone ever want to become a healthcare manager?
• how orthopaedics often comes at the bottom of diversity tables and how best to address this
• are certain professions more appropriate for men and women?
• the role of unconscious bias
• what is it like being at the receiving end of dismissive behaviour and how to respond?
• stereotypes within surgery and in orthopaedics
• how diversity and inclusion vary around the world
• what can people in positions of privilege do to engage and to feel less awkward when discussions about diversity and inclusion arise
• and how can we all bake this into what we do for the benefit of ourselves, our colleagues, and our patients

In honor of National Osteoporosis Awareness Month, Tamara Scerpella, MD, Christina Morganti, MD, and Andrea Spiker, MD  join AOA hosts Charles A. Goldfarb, MD, FAOA, and Alexander Aleem, MD  to discuss bone health in Sports Medicine and osteoporosis in younger atheletes.
 
Drs. Scerpella, Morganti, and Spiker draw on their extensive experiences as athletes and as experts in sports medicine  to  discuss topics including :

• How osteoporosis impacts younger athletes  
• Educating younger athletes on bone mass
• Risk factors for osteoporosis and identifying cases early on
• Osteoporosis related injuries

So much great information was shared that this interview will be shared over two episodes.

Music:
Special thanks to Peter Martin of Peter Martin Music, Inc (@iampetermartin) for the jazz introduction and conclusion. 

After an ill family member introduced Justin Barad to the world of healthcare, he decided to earn a bioengineering degree, then an MD, and eventually specialized in pediatric orthopaedics. However, Justin later opted to combine his surgical skills with his passion for software and gaming to take on a new challenge: the training of surgeons. He decided to switch from academic medicine and start Osso VR in 2016, and now the company has grown to over 60 employees serving 20 countries with over 70 procedures loaded on the platform. In this interview with host Geoff Pardo, Justin shares his view on the challenges of surgical training, how Osso VR’s virtual surgical training procedures can be used to both train and assess surgeons remotely, his transition from clinician to CEO, his experience fundraising as a new entrepreneur, and advice for other surgeons considering entrepreneurial endeavors.
