AFH: Season 2, Episode 15Featuring Holly HowardAbout the Guest:Holly Howard is the founder and CEO of Pyramid.Work, an AI-powered strategic growth engine for the entrepreneurial economy.Pyramid is the culmination of Holly's lifelong pursuit: integrating artist, scientist, healer, business builder, and teacher—and using that integration to create technology that helps people realize their own visions.Holly's journey began in 1996 at the Joffrey Ballet Training Program. At 18, she danced with the Ruth Page Ballet's Nutcracker and joined the American Guild of Musical Artists.In 1999, she entered Berklee College of Music to study Music Therapy and Bassoon, where she discovered neuroscience and neuroplasticity—that creativity can literally rewire the brain. She created an internship at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function under Dr. Concetta Tomaino, longtime collaborator of Oliver Sacks. That experience taught her how to invent what doesn't exist.After three years as a Board-Certified Music Therapist in New York, Holly took a detour into Brooklyn's restaurant scene—working at Marlow & Sons, where she was photographed by Roe Ethridge (now in ICA Boston and MOCA). She also recorded on bassoon with The Pierces. Later, she managed egg restaurant that she made profitable enough to offer PTO and health insurance to every employee in 2009. That work led to a congressional briefing for Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro and influenced the Healthy Families Act.During those years, Holly earned her premedical certificate at Columbia University while conducting orthopedic research at Lenox Hill Hospital. After publishing in the Journal of Arthroplasty, she chose not to pursue medicine and pivoted back to creativity.In 2012, Holly founded Ask Holly How, her consulting practice. By 2014, her programs were sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and economic development corporations. She has since worked with over 1,000 small businesses, become a professor at Pratt Institute, joined the faculty at RISD, and launched the podcast Cultures Within Capitalism. Her work has been cited in the New York Times, The Cut, Fast Company, and Bustle.In 2023, Holly completed her Master's Certificate in Religions of the World at Harvard, integrating the spiritual and philosophical roots of everything she builds.Through Pyramid, Holly is uniting all of these disciplines—art, science, service, and spirit—to help entrepreneurs build from their own foundations, not someone else's framework.Guest Info:https://www.pyramid.work/aboutFollow Me:Instagram: @afinehuman Shop Dame: dame.com This podcast was produced by aurielle sayeh, filmed by @thetellychannel, and powered by @dameproducts.
As total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) use evolves, understanding implant longevity and survivorship expectations has become critical for patient counseling and decision making. The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term survivorship of the INBONE II TAA. In Conclusion, ten-year survivorship of INBONE II TAA was 93% in this cohort. Despite periprosthetic osteolysis and/or peri-implant lucency, the reoperation rate was low. Although the small number of failures prevented statistically significant conclusions, radiographic patterns suggest possible higher risk of failure in those with greater varus deformity.

Joints play a critical role in how we move, stay active, and maintain independence—but joint pain and arthritis can make everyday activities challenging. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Nana Sarpong, an orthopedic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about how joints function and what happens when cartilage wears down. Dr. Sarpong explains the difference between mechanical osteoarthritis and inflammatory forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, including how each impacts joint movement, pain, and stiffness. The conversation covers conservative treatment strategies such as anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, bracing, and injections—along with when surgery becomes the right option. Dr. Sarpong also explains how modern joint replacement surgery works, how long implants now last, and what recovery looks like. Dr. Sarpong debunks common myths, including whether cracking your knuckles is harmful, if weather really affects joint pain, and the idea that people with arthritis should avoid movement. His key message: motion really is lotion—and staying active is essential for protecting your joints and preserving long-term mobility. Chapters 00:00 – What Are Joints and How Do They Work? An overview of joint anatomy, function, and why joints are essential to movement 04:30 – Arthritis and Joint Conditions The difference between osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, causes of joint pain and stiffness 08:45 – Treating Joint Pain and Arthritis Conservative care, physical therapy, injections, and when surgery becomes the right option 12:00 – Protecting Your Joints and Busting Myths Exercise, weight management, common misconceptions, and the importance of staying active Key Topics Covered How joints function in the body Osteoarthritis vs. rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis Causes of joint pain, stiffness, and cartilage loss Physical therapy and non-surgical treatments Joint replacement surgery and recovery Exercise recommendations for joint health Weight loss and joint load reduction Myths about cracking joints and weather-related pain Takeaway Message Joint pain doesn't mean you should stop moving. Staying active, strengthening the muscles around your joints, and managing weight can help protect joint function and slow arthritis progression. When conservative treatments stop working, modern joint replacement surgery offers safe, durable solutions that can restore mobility and independence for decades. Doctor Bio Nana Sarpong, MD, MBA, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee reconstruction. He is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, including partial knee reconstruction, primary hip replacement (both direct anterior and mini-posterior hip approaches), knee replacement, hip resurfacing, and complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement after failed surgeries. His practice leverages advanced technologies, including computer-assisted navigation and robotics, and offers the latest evidence-based surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. Based on a rigorous process to identify healthcare providers with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement, Super Doctors named Dr. Sarpong one of New York's Rising Stars. Dr. Sarpong was raised in New York City and attended Brandeis University, in Massachusetts, on the Posse Foundation Leadership and Merit scholarship, graduating magna cum laude. He received his MD/MBA degree from Tufts University School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society and received the Norman S. Stearns MD/MBA Excellence in Leadership Award. Dr. Sarpong completed his orthopedic surgery residency at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where he was elected as executive chief resident in his final year. As a chief resident, he was the recipient of the Nas Eftekhar award for excellence in adult reconstruction and the chief resident teacher of the year award. He completed the prestigious adult reconstruction and joint replacement surgery fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he received specialized training in navigation and computer-assisted joint replacement and complex and revision reconstruction. Dr. Sarpong is actively engaged in research, with more than 80 peer-reviewed papers, textbook chapters, editorials, and national and international scientific presentations to his credit. His ongoing research interests include the impact of enabling technologies on patient outcomes after hip and knee reconstruction. Dr. Sarpong has served as a peer reviewer for many academic journals, including Foot & Ankle Specialist, the Journal of Arthroplasty, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, HSS Journal, and the Knee Journal. He is an active member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the J. Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society, the New York State Society of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Orthopaedic Association, where he was elected as an emerging leader.

Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a viable option for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Initiating weightbearing after a TAA has traditionally been conservative, with anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks of non-weightbearing recommended by surgeons. There is a scarcity of literature examining the impact of earlier weightbearing after TAA on postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to compare weightbearing at 3 weeks vs 6 weeks on functional recovery after primary TAA. We hypothesized that patients allowed to weightbear earlier would exhibit greater improvements in ankle range of motion (ROM) without an increase in postoperative complications. In conclusion, initiating earlier weightbearing after a primary TAA brings about greater improvements in postoperative ankle ROM compared with preoperative ROM, sustained even up to 2 years postoperative. Earlier weightbearing group demonstrated increased ankle ROM compared with the delayed weightbearing group at early follow-up without an increase in complications. These findings suggest earlier initiation of weightbearing after a primary TAA is safe and beneficial in terms of motion. Click here to read the article.
Dr. Kimberly Stevenson offers an orthopaedic surgeon's perspective on the muscle-sparing direct anterior approach (DAA) to total hip arthroscopy. DAA brings about a faster recovery than the classic posterior and lateral approaches and has the potential for a lower risk of dislocation. Learn more about Kimberly Stevenson, MD

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kim K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Neil P. Sheth, MD, FACS and Rafael J. Sierra, MD to discuss all things on hip replacements in patients that are early in adulthood (30 or less). Our hosts begin the podcast discussing Dr. Sheth’s study that included patients less than 21- years old, but with a median age of 16 who underwent full hip replacement surgery. What results looked like after a five year follow up – favorable or not, how he determines to perform a full hip replacement versus hip preservation and how does a full hip replacement in young patients compare to those done with older adults? While Dr. Sheth's study showed that modern THA can succeed in teens, Dr. Sierra study focused on how those results transition into early adulthood when activity demands increase. Dr. Sierra's study included patients less than 30 – years old (median age of 23) with a seven-year follow-up. Survivorship in this study shocked even Dr. Sierra. Our guests also discuss how they approach the conversation of a total hip replacement with parents – what shared decision-making looks like, how they acquire consent from them and how they rely on them to monitor activity levels with the child. I think you’ll find this podcast extremely helpful, especially if you’ve encountered a younger patient with hip complications. Enjoy and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!

Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was developed to improve accuracy and efficiency in implant placement for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). This study represents the first to measure the accuracy of PSI regarding implant alignment and implant size in the INBONE II total ankle system (Stryker). A secondary goal was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes between the PSI and that of a matched group of implants performed with standard instrumentation. In conclusion, this study of stemmed TAA implants, surgeons achieved alignment generally consistent with PSI predictions. PSI adequately predicted implant size. For most cases, PSI achieved similar alignment and correction of deformity compared with standard instrumentation. PSI did not improve radiographic alignment compared with traditional instrumentation and was associated with longer operative times, possibly reflecting the primary surgeon's early experience with the technique. Each surgeon should select PSI or the standard jig based on their experience and preference. Click here to read the article.

Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a common method of treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis (ESAA). The utilization of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) allows for standardized assessment of patient-driven outcomes, but few studies have been published on outcomes of TAA using PROMIS. The purpose of this study was to describe the recovery trajectory of patients undergoing TAA for ESAA for up to 1 year after surgery using PROMIS scores for physical function (PF), pain interference (PI), and depression (DP). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that patients who underwent primary TAA have improvements in PROMIS scores at several different time points up to 1 year after surgery. Patients can expect an improvement in pain and function from baseline within 3 months from surgery. Most improvements occur within the first 6 months. More than half of the patients will achieve a PF and PI score within 1 SD of the national average by 6 months, but it can take up to a year for most patients to reach this. Understanding the trajectory of patient recovery at different time points after primary TAA can help set patient expectations and guide intervention. Click here to read the article.
