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.

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!

Happy Friday. My name is Jason Lunden. Uh, I am the lead for our endurance athlete division, and I am very excited today to talk to you about return to run following total joint replacement. So this is a topic that has held great interest to me for a number of years. Um, and really hasn't been a lot out there. Until more recently, there's still not a lot out there, but there have been some really neat studies that have come out in the past year that can help guide us with that. So today we're going to cover, one, do runners return to running following total joint replacement? Two, what are the risks that we and they need to be aware of? And then three, How can we set them up for success if they do indeed want to return to running? DO RUNNERS RETURN TO RUNNING AFTER JOINT REPLACEMENT? So first, answering the question, do runners return to running following total joint replacement? The short answer is yes. I think we've all probably heard anecdotal stories of runners who've had a total joint replacement and returned to running despite being told that they should never return to running from their surgeon. Furthermore, a study from 2018 just looking at the prevalence of osteoarthritis in marathon runners made the observation that out of their cohort that they were studying, there were seven marathoners who were running with total joint replacement. So, you know, are these unicorns, you know, people who are going against the advice of their physicians and maybe their PTs and you know finding some success? Is it that they're finding very short-term success and then having to go on to you know early revision of their total joint? You know really didn't have any of that data until until recently. So a really cool study in 2023 came out by Antonelli et al looking at the return to run rate for runners following total joint replacement, namely total hip, unilateral knee, and total knee arthroplasty. And what they found is that yes, runners do indeed return to running following total joint replacement. And depending on the type of joint replacement they had, some of them return at a very high rate, while others return at a pretty modest rate. But overall, one of the interesting things out of that study is the number of people going into total joint replacement that classified themselves as a runner is actually really small when you're looking at the whole population out of the study. And that really, you know, reinforces our knowledge that we've been gaining recently that, you know, running is not a precursor to osteoarthritis and perhaps it may be chondroprotective. So that's one kind of neat takeaway from that study. The other really cool thing is that for patients following a total hip arthroplasty, if they're a runner prior to total hip, 75% of them returned to running after getting a total hip arthroplasty. With knee replacements, the percentage is much lower at around 10 to 15%. of those runners who were running, runners, and then going on to get a knee replacement, only 10 to 15% of them returned to running. And then even more surprising is a certain number of patients who did not run prior to joint replacement actually picked up running following joint replacement. About 1% of patients studied in the study. So yes, patients, can and do return to running following total joint replacement. RISKS OF RETURNING TO RUNNING AFTER JOINT REPLACEMENT But what are the risks? I think we all have heard the narrative that you definitely should not avoid impact and avoid running following total joint replacement. And there are concerns for periprosthetic fracture, so fracture around where the orthodesis is or where the implant is. you know, concern for dislocation for total hip replacements, as well as polyethylene wear and loosening of the implant. Those are the kind of the four main concerns that surgeons have. And I think there, you know, is probably some validity to those concerns. And we do want to be thoughtful in having those discussions with patients if they are looking to return to run following total joint replacement. But another really neat finding out of the Antonelli study is that there was no difference in revision rates between those patients that went on to return to run following total joint arthroplasty and those that did not run at all. So the revision rate is around 5%, which depending on how you look at it, is either pretty small or still a pretty large number if we're thinking of 5% of people are having to go on to get a revision following the first total joint. And unfortunately, as with most surgeries, the second time around, the outcomes just aren't as good. So we definitely do want to avoid revision of a total joint if we can. And one way we can think about doing this is being really smart and methodical in how we're helping these patients return to running. Keep in mind that You know, following most lower extremity surgeries, patients actually see a decrease in bone mineral density, typically for the first year or maybe even up to two years following surgery. And that seems to peak in total joint patients at around three months, and then not actually improve, but the amount of loss peaks at about three months. So right around when we would be thinking about implementing a return to run program with a total joint patient, realize that their bone mineral density is probably at the lowest that it's been recently. And particularly if they are osteopenic patient or osteoporotic. You really want to go slow with them with implementing impact just to avoid periprosthetic fracture. So that also is making sure that you as a practitioner have knowledge of what's going on with the human in front of you, not just that they've had a total joint, but what's the bigger picture? Do they have a history of osteopenia or osteoporosis? And is there anything that they can do to help combat that? SETTING PATIENTS UP FOR SUCCESS TO RETURN TO RUNNING So setting up our patients for success that do want to return to run following total joint replacement. One, we want to have a good idea of what's going on with them as a human and on a global scale and making sure that we're being specific to that. Two, regardless of that, we do want to have a slow progression with return to running and return to running volume. So this is a patient population where we definitely want to start with more of our walk, jog intervals than just going into straight jogging or running, making sure that they are able to tolerate a good walking program first. So being able to walk, you know, certainly 45 minutes or an hour without any issue, implementing impact in a controlled setting. So having them do stomping, um, you know, jump rope, uh, and, and things of that nature and making sure that they are tolerating some impact before we really get, uh, have them get to a lot of repetition, which running is a lot of repetition, um, for that. And part of doing that is really making sure that they are regaining and probably even gaining more strength than they had going into surgery, particularly with, if we're talking about the knee and the hip, quad strength, hamstring strength, and then global hip strength. So really making sure that they are, have had a good program with that and that they are at you know, 80 to 90% of what their contralateral leg is before even thinking about implementing a return to run program. And also making sure that what we're comparing their operative leg to with the contralateral leg isn't just comparing to, you know, crap numbers. So making sure that they do have a certain level of strength and fitness going into a return to run program. A couple things that we like to use as quick screening tools in the endurance athlete division are the ability to do single leg squats and the ability to be able to do at least 20 single leg squats with good form and with maintaining balance, as well as being able to do single leg heel raises and the ability to do at least, in this older population, 10 to 15 single leg heel raises to full height if possible. So we're really being methodical about how we're implementing that return to run program and progression of volume. We're making sure that prior to doing that, we have maximized their strength gains around the hip and the knee. And then we also want to make sure that they have the mobility to have, you know, the best gait mechanics that they can. So really making sure that they are getting, particularly with total hip patients, that they are getting hip extension, that they have good mobility of the rockers of the foot and ankle. So good ankle dorsiflexion, good, great toe extension, et cetera. And if they don't, working on that, either using your manual techniques or giving them some mobility drills to work on with that, And then bringing it all together with when we are implementing that return to run program, really trying to set them up for success by looking at their gait mechanics and then implementing some drills to help decrease impact at the hip and knee. Namely, if they do have decreased rockers, you know, and even with working on it manually and with some mobility drills, they're just not getting that back. getting them in a shoe with a rocker bottom to help with that can be extremely helpful in our older adult population. So something like, you know, Hoka has several shoes with a rocker bottom, as do other brands. And then if they're really limited in their, they're not able to get that hip extension or you're not observing hip extension at toe off, getting them to have a little bit of a forward lean, a forward lean not a forward bend so that they're basically just leaning their center of mass further forward to prevent over striding which over striding really increases impact at the hip and the knee and probably even more importantly it increases the the loading rate at the hip and the knee so those would be kind of two things to to really look for in your total joint patients that are returning to run. So in summary, you know, return to run for total joint replacements, yes, patients do and can, can and do return to run following total joint replacement. Much higher rate with, if they've had a total hip replacement compared to a total knee, but overall, those patients that we're working with that have had a total joint are likely to not be a runner to begin with. Two, we do want to be aware of what the risks are. There is no difference, at least in Tonelli's study, in revision rates between those patients that went on to return to run and those patients that did not return to run following total joint replacement, but those risks still are you know, I think valid with paraprosthetic fracture, risk of… hip dislocation, particularly if they were to fall, polyethylene wear, and implant loosening. So just really having a good understanding, particularly the bone health of the patient in front of you. And then lastly, set your patients up for success. Get them strong, work on their mobility, have all that tie into good gait mechanics, and slowly progress their volume. That's all I got for you today. Uh, thank you for listening. SUMMARY If you are interested in treating endurance athletes, um, or you do treat endurance athletes and are looking for some CEUs, uh, we do have a variety of offer offerings within endurance athlete division. Uh, for coming up first is our second cohort of rehabilitation of the injured runner online, um, starting in early March. Also in March, we have our first offering. of the year of professional bike fit in Texas. And then we have a bike fitting offer, the professional bike fitting course offered also in April in North Carolina, and then in May in Minneapolis. And then our first rehabilitation of the injured runner live is going to be early June in Milwaukee. Come join us for those courses. We have a lot of fun and I think you pick up some really good skills and clinical pearls with treating endurance athletes. Have a great weekend, everyone. Get outside, do something fun with friends and family, and we will catch you later. Bye. OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on ICE daily show.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Matt: My Daughter, age 8 has a history of always having aches and pains growing up - leg pain, knee pain, has had transient synovitis in her hip x 2 - often times has to sit down or rest when every other child is playing and running around without an issue - every test she has ever had done as been negative - multiple lymes tests, spine XRAY,, femur/tibia XRAY, blood work multiple times. She recently came up low on Vit D with a level of 21.0 ng/ml (currently supplementing) - all aches and pains attributed to growing pains since no cause was found (she has always been tallest in her class - 90 % and up in height generally). since October of 2022 she has been sick off/on - pattern of congestion, followed by headache/looking pale and then fever that lasts 2-3 days. Where do you suggest we start??   Kim: I've been looking at the things you have on pintrest and I have to tell you personally I think the tongue is a forgotten part of the body! I have alot of problems with my tongue, burning, painful bumps, discoloration and the only answer I get is a very expensive prescription for "magic mouthwash" there has to be a reason why this has been happening to me most of my life (I'm 59) I'm hoping you might have some answers PLEASE   Jeanie: are there any podcasts on joint replacement and heavy metals are there any podcasts on the risk of taking statins (specifically) I have listened to all the podcasts on lowering cholesterol. I need something on the negative affects of statins if available   Weylin: Hey Dr. Cabral, any recommendations on individuals struggling with long-covid? Any specific supplements we should be taking?   Nicole: Hi:) Thank you so much for all you do to help people. I am 44 years old and for the 1st time, feel like I am learning on how to make sensible, healthier choices for myself and family. Are there any meal delivery services you suggest for dinner a few nights a week? Thank you   Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm so grateful for you and your team. The amazing work you do to transform our world into a better, brighter place is so inspirational and has lit a fire in me too to do the same! Thank you for being and spreading your light!  I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding using products from the longevity line specificially inflammasoothe, cell boost, daily vision and daily hair support within a specific supplement budget. In your opinion is it best to do 1/2 of the dosage every day of all products or do one month "on" taking 2 of the supplements at full dosage and then one month "off" and switching to 2 different supplements? (Rotating between the supplements at a lesser dose) I feel I can use the benefits of all of them. Interested in your thoughts and advice.
