Send us Fan MailThumb Arthritis: The Game Changing Joint ReplacementThumb arthritis is extremely common, and when pain at the base of the thumb makes it difficult to open a jar, turn a key, grip a golf club, or hold everyday objects, it can have a major impact on daily life.In this episode of MedStar Health DocTalk, host Debra Schindler talks with Dr. Avi Giladi, hand and upper-extremity surgeon and research director at the Curtis National Hand Center, about the latest advances in treating thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis.For decades, surgery has typically involved removing the trapezium bone, sometimes combined with tendon reconstruction or suspension. While these procedures can provide pain relief, recovery can be lengthy, and some patients experience lasting limitations in grip strength and function.Dr. Giladi discusses a newer option: the Touch Prosthesis, a thumb joint replacement designed to preserve joint height and motion while providing stability. He explains how the implant works, who may be a candidate, how it compares with traditional surgery, and what patients can expect during recovery.The conversation covers:• Why thumb arthritis is so common• Early symptoms and risk factors• Non-surgical treatment options, including splints, therapy and injections• Traditional thumb arthritis surgery and its recovery• How the Touch prosthesis works• Potential benefits, risks and limitations of thumb joint replacement• Who may—and may not—be a candidate• What recovery can look like after surgery• What researchers and surgeons still need to learn about the implant long termDr. Giladi emphasizes that not everyone with thumb arthritis needs surgery, and that treatment should be individualized. But for appropriately selected patients whose symptoms persist despite non-surgical treatments, newer joint-replacement technology may offer another path toward restoring motion, strength and function.Learn More or Schedule an Appointment: For more information about MedStar Health's Curtis National Hand Center, visit MedStarHealth.org and search “Curtis.” To schedule an appointment with Dr. Avi Giladi or one of the center's 14 hand surgeons, call 410-235-5405.

After two knee replacements, a hip replacement, and years of chronic pain, Beth is getting strong again at 72. A lifelong athlete, coach, and gym owner, Beth has spent decades swimming, running, competing in triathlons, playing racquetball, coaching others, and finding new ways to stay active. But aging, osteoarthritis, major surgeries, and long periods away from consistent strength training forced her to rethink what training should look like now. Beth joins Niki Sims and her son, Andrew Jackson, to talk about returning to strength training after joint replacement, rebuilding confidence under the bar, and learning to train for herself again. She shares how progressive strength training has helped her squat, deadlift, press, play pickleball, lift 50-pound bags of grain, and keep up with her grandchildren. They also discuss how the fitness industry has changed over the past 50 years, the value of individualized coaching, training through different decades of life, and why getting stronger in your seventies can be about much more than numbers in the gym. Beth's story is a reminder that training may change with age, injury, and surgery—but meaningful progress, strength, confidence, and capability are still worth pursuing.

Let's talk about work-related joint injuries and replacements. Sebastian Negrusa, Ph.D., joins Judson and Alan to share the Workers' Compensation Research Institute's (WCRI) new report, “Recent Trends in Joint Replacement Among Workers' Compensation Claims.”  While back injuries usually come to mind for workplace injuries, joint injuries, and subsequent replacements, are becoming more common. Are you up to speed on this trend? Shoulder, hip, and knee replacements are important parts of making workers whole and getting them back to their jobs and their lives.  How do you prove a workplace-related joint injury when someone has worked at the same job for decades? What's work-related, what's just a function of natural aging? What if the workplace only aggravated a naturally occurring degeneration? It's complicated, but all workers deserve to be treated fairly, and all workplaces should be safe. If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.

Preventing Injury, Reframing Pain, and Using Physical Therapy to Avoid Unnecessary Surgery: Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, founder of Rehab Science, and author of “Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal From Injury,” an illustrated, body-region guide to common orthopedic problems and self-managed therapeutic exercises. Walters emphasizes using PT-style mobility and resistance training preventively to increase tissue capacity, manage load, and avoid overuse injuries, while warning against “no pain, no gain” and excessive volume or weight. He discusses “movement literacy,” hip and glute stabilizers, and how weakness can drive knee and back problems. Dr. Hoffman shares his own hip injury and recovery with targeted strengthening, illustrating that imaging findings often don't dictate function. Walters explains the biopsychosocial model of pain, graded exposure, the limits of RICE and ultrasound, and roles for manual therapy, taping, TENS, shockwave, acupuncture/dry needling, and PRP. They advocate prehab/rehab around surgery and note PT training and career prospects.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog If you are receiving testosterone or estradiol hormone pellet therapy, BioBalance Health wants to know if you have any of the following medical conditions that may require you to take antibiotics before any medical or dental procedure that breaks the skin, including pellet insertions and dental cleanings. BioBalance Health is dedicated to providing safe and effective hormone replacement with pellets for both men and women, and we want to ensure your health and safety throughout the process. We use sterile procedure guidelines, but certain conditions still require antibiotics to prevent local infections.   Conditions That May Require Pre-Procedure Antibiotics: If You Have Had a Joint Replacement.Some orthopedic surgeons recommend that patients take antibiotics before dental procedures to prevent infection in the joint that was replaced, while others may not. It is important that you follow the advice of YOUR orthopedic surgeon regarding antibiotics before any procedure. If your orthopedic surgeon has advised you to take antibiotics, please let us know. We can provide you with an antibiotic injection or a prescription to take the day of your pellet insertion that will prevent infection. If You Have Uncontrolled Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. If your blood sugar is not well-controlled, you may need antibiotics before your pellet insertion to prevent infection of the pellet insertion area. If you are treated and keep your sugars in good control you may not need antibiotics, however if your diabetes is in poor control, you are more likely to get an infection. It is important that you take antibiotics before your pellet insertion. The following blood sugar levels are considered indicators of poor diabetes control: HbA1c > 9.0 Fasting blood sugar > 150 mg/dL If your blood sugar exceeds these levels, or if your primary care doctor has recommended that you take antibiotics before dental cleanings or procedures, you should also take antibiotics before your pellet insertion to reduce the risk of infection.  If You Have an Autoimmune Disease and are on Immunosuppressive Treatment. If you are receiving treatment for an autoimmune condition that suppresses your immune system, you may be at higher risk for infection at the insertion site. In this case, you will need to take antibiotics before each pellet insertion. If your Rheumatologist does not believe antibiotics are necessary for you, you may proceed without them.  If You Are Receiving Cancer Treatment. Certain cancer treatments, especially those that suppress white blood cell production, can compromise your immune system. If you are undergoing such treatment, you should take antibiotics before or with your pellet insertion to prevent infection.   In Summary: If a doctor has advised you to take antibiotics for procedures, such as dental cleanings, you should also take antibiotics before your pellet insertion. Please inform us of any conditions or treatments that may require this precaution, and we will ensure you are properly prepared for your procedure.

Host Gil Bashe and Gregg Masters welcome Stefano Bini, MD., Professor, UCSF, Arthritis & Joint Replacement, Orthopaedic Institute.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. I've been in a couple of meetings lately. In one case, a healthcare company came up with a strategy and deployed it; and the strategy didn't go as planned. The other one, it did go as planned—it worked great. Of course, I'm coming in on the back end like a Monday morning quarterback here; but the plan that failed, I have to say, I wasn't surprised. Had they asked me ahead of time, I would have told them to save their money because the plan was never gonna work, even though the strategy looked like kind of a straight line from here to there. Nor was I shocked by the success of the other plan, even though this one that triumphed had what looked like five extra steps and was slightly counterintuitive if you looked at it cold, without understanding the way the healthcare industry actually works. Here's my point: It might feel like the healthcare industry is chaos monkey central and impossible to predict actions and reactions—and, for sure, there's always unknowns and intersecting variables—but it's not a complete black box. The trick is, as you know and I know, you gotta understand what other stakeholders are up to. You gotta get a bead on what they're doing and what their incentives are because then you can better predict actions and potentially reactions. So, let me state the obvious (that's why listeners tune in to this show as I just said, and it's what we aim to shine a light on here at Relentless Health Value): the pushes and the pulls and the forces. What's going on outside of the organizations or the silos that we work within day-to-day. Because if you're looking to sell to, partner with, not be obstructed by [insert some stakeholder here], then it's very vital to be keyed in on what they're doing or what their customers are doing or what their customers' vendors are doing. This show should feel like it gives you a measure of control (or at least that's my hope) or a method to find the measure of control. And I hope you succeed. That's why I continue to put out these shows. The RHV tribe members want the same thing I want—to fix the healthcare industry for patients and for members—so, thanks for being here and for making actionable the insights that you might find here. I have been so looking forward to doing a show with Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA, orthopedic surgeon and prolific writer of deeply thoughtful and insightful posts on LinkedIn. In this healthcare podcast, we are talking about bundled payments. And today's your lucky day if you think you know a lot about bundles, because most people who listen to this show at least know enough to be dangerous. So, that's our starting point, which is why I asked Dr. Schwartz to talk to me about what most people find surprising about bundles and bundled payments. There are four surprises that we go through in the show today. Listen to the show or read the transcript to find out exactly what they are. So, no spoiler alert alert. But relative to these surprises, we get into the four types of bundles that may or may not be available. And those four types of bundles are: 1. CMS bundles such as the BPCI (Bundled Payments for Care Improvement) and the CJR (Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement) bundles, and we talk about the current state of said BPCI bundles, which are being sunsetted probably because so many efficient clinical teams are being penalized for getting too efficient. They become victims of their own success the way the program is currently designed, wherein the goalposts keep shifting. 2. Commercial bundles—ie, a bundle that is offered by a commercial carrier such as a BUCA (ie, Blue Cross Blue Shield/UnitedHealthcare/Cigna/Aetna/Anthem) carrier 3. Direct bundle—a bundle that is paid for directly by a plan sponsor such as a self-insured employer 4. Condition- or diagnosis-specific bundle. These types of bundles do not spiral around a surgical intervention at their core, which most of the current bundles do. This may describe CMS's recently announced “Making Care Primary” initiative, but we'll have to see about that. Speaking about the #3 kind of bundle, the employer-direct bundles, especially for musculoskeletal (MSK), let me share a post by Moby Parsons, MD, that I thought captured the entrepreneurial spirit of some of these orthopedic surgeons who are seeking employers to direct contract with and cut out the middleman, etc (which, by the way, is the main topic of an entire show upcoming with Elizabeth Mitchell from the Purchaser Business Group on Health). But Dr. Parsons wrote: “When our bundle business has sufficient growth to ensure the absolute sustainability of our practice against declining reimbursements … in a fee-for-service system, I am getting this tattoo. Don't tell my wife. [And the tattoo is ‘Free Yourself.']” My guest today, aforementioned, is Dr. Ben Schwartz. He's an orthopedic surgeon in the Boston area still in full-time clinical practice. He's grown very interested in healthcare innovation, healthcare technology, and does some advising and investing. Dr. Schwartz also writes a great Substack called Dem Dry Bones. After you listen to this show, please go back and listen to the one with Steve Schutzer, MD (EP294) talking about how to create a Center of Excellence and also the one with Rob Andrews (EP415) about how and why if you are a plan sponsor you might want to consider direct contracting with quantifiably amazing provider groups. Also, if you are an ortho or involved in MSK care, I might suggest following Karen Simonton on LinkedIn, as well as Moby Parsons, MD, and, for sure, of course, my guest today, Dr. Ben Schwartz. Also mentioned in this episode are Moby Parsons, MD; Elizabeth Mitchell; Steve Schutzer, MD; Robert Andrews; Karen Simonton; Peter Hayes; Al Lewis; and Cora Opsahl.   You can follow Dr. Schwartz on LinkedIn and read his blog on Substack.   Benjamin J. Schwartz, MD, MBA, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with over 15 years of experience. He has served numerous healthcare leadership roles on both a local and national level with a focus on developing and implementing evidence-based, high-quality musculoskeletal care delivery pathways. Dr. Schwartz is vice chair of the Practice Management Committee for the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and helps advance knowledge of musculoskeletal conditions as a member of the Hip and Knee Content Committee for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and editorial board member/elite reviewer for The Journal of Arthroplasty. Dr. Schwartz has extensive experience in value-based care, having personally achieved over $400,000 in savings during his first year in the CMS BPCI-A program. He has received awards for clinical care and professionalism and was named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in 2022 and 2023. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Schwartz maintains a strong presence in healthcare technology and innovation as advisor and investor to early-stage digital health companies. He is frequently sought after by clinicians, founders, and venture capitalists for his ability to bridge the gap between real-world medicine and start-ups/entrepreneurship. Dr. Schwartz's passion is thoughtful implementation of technology and innovation to improve healthcare quality, accessibility, costs, and outcomes.   06:07 Where are we in the development of the bundled payments space? 08:09 What are the four types of bundled payments? 09:52 How can bundled payments create perverse incentives? 11:04 What are the positives in bundled payments, and how can they help push us toward value-based care? 13:02 What is surprising about bundled payments? 18:50 EP415 with Rob Andrews. 27:03 How do Centers of Excellence connect back to bundled payments? 29:00 EP346 with Peter Hayes. 30:29 EP294 with Steve Schutzer, MD. 33:38 EP331 with Al Lewis. 33:43 EP372 and EP373 with Cora Opsahl. 37:13 What does Dr. Schwartz think the future is for bundled payments?   You can follow Dr. Schwartz on LinkedIn and read his blog on Substack.   @BenSchwartz_MD discusses #bundledpayments on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #healthcareleadership #healthcaretransformation #healthcareinnovation   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!
