Podcasts about orthopaedic trauma

This week, Device Nation sits down with one of orthopaedic trauma's true legends, Dr. Thomas "Toney" Russell. Over four decades, Dr. Russell hasn't just practiced trauma surgery, he's built it. The Russell-Taylor nail. The Intertan. Periloc plates. Osstic bone glue. 30 + U.S. patents. A career that runs from the Elvis Presley Trauma Center to the C-suites of global med-tech companies.We cover it all: IM nailing, plates, screws, ex-fix, calcium phosphate and sulfate, OTA, BBQ, and yes, a little Elvis to shake things up!Fair warning: you WILL leave this episode inspired.About Dr. RussellDr. Thomas A. Russell is one of Orthopaedic Trauma's most consequential figures. Co-developer of the Russell-Taylor intramedullary nail. Professor Emeritus at the University of Tennessee. Former Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Elvis Presley Trauma Center. More than 30 U.S. patents spanning femoral nailing, bone screw systems, surgical navigation, and bio-ceramic augmentation. Executive and advisory roles with leading device companies across the U.S. and Europe.He has trained generations of surgeons, authored foundational surgical textbook chapters, and earned presidential lectureships and honors from professional societies around the world. From the OR to the boardroom, Dr. Russell has spent four decades doing one thing: solving problems that matter.What He BuiltTrigen / Russell-Taylor Nail — A foundational intramedullary nail. The name gave away today's guest before we even got to the intro.Intertan Nail — Part of the Smith & Nephew Trigen trauma portfolio, advancing integrated fixation for intertrochanteric fractures.Periloc Plates — Periarticular fixation that helped shape the modern plating landscape.BSM Augments — Bone substitute material for structural support where biology needs a hand.Osstic — "Bone glue." Next-generation bone substitute. Potentially the most disruptive thing on this list — and Dr. Russell will tell you why.Wisdom From This Episode"Look for the failures to see where the work needs to be done." — Dr. Toney RussellA great idea on a napkin is just the beginning. Are you prepared to commit ten years to it?Unexpected inspiration: Ilizarov wires traced back to a bicycle shop.Non-Newtonian fluids — a concept that sounds like a physics class and ends up changing how you think about graft material.Hip fracture care in the UK: still defaulting to a 4-hole 135° plate. Kevin's verdict: ship him home.Innovation is uncomfortable. Even the innovators resist change, Dr. Russell confirms it.Also In This EpisodeThe 54-tray SPD story — and what it really tells you about preparation in a rapidly evolving industry.Arthrex's first post-Corin pure-play recon meeting: Player 2 has entered the game.AAHKS preview: the third annual Rep-Surgeon town hall, the subject: change.Benjamin Franklin on delay: "You may delay, but time will not."Highlights from the Anterior Hip Foundation meeting in Nashville.Thank You to Our SponsorsThis episode wouldn't have happened without them!!!Enovis Surgical · Redefine Surgical · SylkeSupport the show

Ballistic missiles overhead at 2 a.m. Surgeons back in the OR at sunrise. A city buying groceries and sending kids to school while medevacs arrive around the clock. That contrast is the setting for our conversation with Dr. Roman Hayda, Chief of Orthopaedic Trauma at Rhode Island Hospital and a retired US Army colonel who has traveled to Ukraine repeatedly to support frontline trauma hospitals.We trace how his Ukrainian roots and military surgical career shaped a calling for war surgery, then zoom in on what makes the current conflict medically different. With contested airspace and relentless drone surveillance, traditional evacuation assumptions collapse. When you can't fly a helicopter and you can't safely drive into the kill zone, the “golden hour” becomes a moving target and the downstream impact shows up in limb salvage decisions, prolonged tourniquet times, infection risk, and a growing need for amputation care and complex reconstruction.We also dig into leadership lessons for any orthopaedic surgeon considering humanitarian work: arrive with humility, listen first, adapt to limited resources, and treat teaching as a two-way exchange. Finally, we talk practical ways to help even if you never get on a plane, from donating external fixation resources to supporting reputable NGOs and advocating for sustained support.Subscribe for more conversations on the future of orthopaedic surgery, share this with a colleague who cares about trauma systems and global surgery, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.

According to the J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev. (2024), the incidence of pelvic ring injuries is 34.3 per 100,000 with trauma being the most obvious causation. Women account for approximately 69.7% of these injuries, 23% of which occur in women of childbearing age. In this specific patient population, concern is raised about one's future reproductive capability and method of delivery. The normal bony pelvic movements that occur during vaginal delivery are crucial for accommodating the passage of the fetus through the birth canal; this allows for the normal cardinal phases of labor to occur. These movements involve the widening and shifting of various pelvic joints and bones, primarily influenced by hormonal changes and the mechanical forces exerted by the baby. So, it is reasonable to ask if a patient with pelvic fractures and fixation can safely allow a trial of labor. Is a history of pelvic fractures with surgical fixation an indication for primary cesarean section? If it's not, in what scenario would a primary c-section be best after a pelvic fracture?

Episode 137. Following on from a workshop titled “JEDI Journey: This is the Way,” our diverse panel discusses the importance of processes such as integrating the social determinants of health (SDOH) into information systems via Z codes to advance Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) & anti-racism. With episode host Charla Johnson, DNP, and guests Tonya Jagneaux, MD, Holly Pilson, MD, and Daytheon Sturges, PhD. The group also explores achieving workforce diversity in general and orthopedic surgery specifically, which is the least diverse specialty of all. With current trends it will take 217 years to reach parity in terms of race and gender representation, and the group shares strategies for accelerating the pace. We hear how part of the challenge is getting diverse students into schools, but once this is achieved the environment must be set up for success. Otherwise, tokenism can lead to isolation and burnout. With pointers towards actionable steps and resources, this episode takes DEI up a notch. © Copyright Movement is Life 2022-2023 Host: Charla Johnson, DNP, RN-BC, ONC Secretary, Board of Directors, Movement is Life System Director, Nursing Informatics Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System Baton Rouge, LA Featuring: Tonya Jagneaux, MD, MSHI, FCCP Chief Medical Information Officer – OLOL Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Pulmonary/Critical Care, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Baton Rouge Campus Holly Pilson, MD, FAAOS, FAOA Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma, Vice Chair of Social Impact, Co-Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Co-Director of Clinical Research, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Affiliate Faculty of Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Wake Forest University School of Medicine Daytheon Sturges, PhD, MPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA, CHES® Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Vice Chair for JEDI, Associate Program Director for Regional Affairs and Academic Affairs, JEDI, MEDEX Northwest Physician Assistant Program, University of Washington School of Medicine Physician, University of Washington Primary Care – Northgate Producer/Editor/Writer: Rolf Taylor  Resources:  USING Z CODES: The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Data Journey to Better Outcomes: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/zcodes-infographic.pdf Advancing excellence in PA education through leadership, scholarship, equity, and inclusion.

Carl Frizell et al: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34817435/ Excerpts:  We need to do a rebranding and a paradigm shift, so that we don't view diversity as a risk, but we view it as a strength, and we view it as beautiful. I use that term because this is not only hard work it is heart work, and there is some emotional exhaustion that comes with that.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “It's voluntary in 2023 then mandatory in 2024 to be screening for social determinants of health for Medicare and Medicaid for reimbursement. So, people really need to understand the importance of this, and it can't be just another check the box. At Our Lady of the Lake we have a marketing slogan, “we listen, we heal,” – which is perfect alignment with integrating social determinants of health.” ~ Charla Johnson, DNP “Just like we look at things like A1C, I'd like to see Z codes be reviewed routinely so we ask the questions, have we resolved food insecurity, have we resolved homelessness, and we can report on that and close that loop. And I really appreciate a provider wanting to use Z codes.” ~ Tonya Jagneaux, MD “From the vantage point of the good, the bad, and the ugly, the good is that the trend for gender and race diversity is that orthopedic surgery has got better. But the bad is that we remain, year after the year, the least gender, race and ethnically diverse specialty in all of medicine, recruitment efforts alone have not reversed that. To get to parity at the present rate would take 217 years.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “I liked how you laid it bear that your zip code is more of a social determinant than your genetic code, and speaking of codes, I really like that you introduced the Z codes as well because that introduces a level of accountability. When you document it, you then have to have a plan about it.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “We had two great talks from Cara McLellan and Frank McLellan, and I am going to start using that term: The power of the purse. Until you incentivize it, it does not become a priority. When people see a target then they see this is the journey we are taking.” Tonya Jagneaux, MD “My part of the session was about workforce diversity, particularly in orthopedic surgery, and what better specialty to talk about in terms of workforce diversity than the one that struggles the most with it.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “When you fix policy at the system level then you are able to see more results. We need to look at policy with a JEDI lens, so Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, but I also add in anti-racism, to become anti-racist we have to center and discuss race. We are looking at our policies using an equity impact tool, and we are looking as possible harm as well as alternative approaches.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “One of the quotes I heard recently is “Nothing about us without us,” it takes bringing those stakeholders to the table, working alongside them and with them, to figure out how we get to more equity in this space.”  ~ Holly Pilson, MD “It's important that the minority people who are leading these efforts are doing it alongside and with the majority members of our departments and institutions, because it takes both together. “It's important to equip the champions and provide education. I have my lived experience as a gender and racial ethnic minority, but I'm not a (DEI) expert.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “Medical students have consistently said that orthopedics as a specialty is less welcoming. I don't know if it's the surgical culture, some the other specialties mentioned as being less welcoming were also surgical.” ~ Holly Pilson, MD “I like to offer a DEI toolkit that the Physician Assistant Education Association (Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Commission) has developed.  It's 6 steps of a quality improvement loop.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C “Target the leadership structure: what is the racial composition? What voices are there? Do you have buy-in? These are the people who are yielding and wielding power. We need to look at admissions and ask how can we kick the door open and look at our applicants holistically, because this is where the gatekeeping is. We will never have a diverse medical workforce if the schools are not admitting these students.” ~ Daytheon Sturges PA-C
