Wondering about whether large language models (generative AI) like ChatGPT, Co-Pilot or Claude, to name just a few, could add value to your clinical practice? Drs Mark Vorensky and Daniel Peredo (Rutgers University; NYU Langone Health) discuss the field of 'prompt engineering' - the approach to structuring and crafting the instructions (a.k.a. prompt) given to a generative AI model, to describe the task that the AI should perform. The quality of the output from generative AI is highly dependent on how the model is prompted. So, if you're looking to get the best out of generative AI, tune in! ------------------------------ RESOURCES Improving ChatGPT's performance using the CRISPE framework: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptmethods.2025.0151 Neck pain clinical practice guideline: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2017.0302

Are your running shoes "dead" at 500 miles? Many runners lose sleep over the famous mileage rule, treating it as a non-negotiable expiration date. In this episode, we deconstruct the infamous 300 to 500-mile myth and expose how the running industry's business model of planned obsolescence has influenced this idea. We'll dive into the real science of shoe breakdown—from midsole compression to a runner's unique biomechanics—to uncover why a one-size-fits-all mileage rule is deeply flawed.Instead of a number, we give you the practical tools to know when a shoe is truly worn out. Learn the key signs of fatigue and discover why your body is the ultimate sensor for shoe health. We also explore the proven benefits of a shoe rotation for extending the life of your gear and reducing your risk of injury. Join us to change your mindset, save money, and gain a new perspective on your most essential piece of running equipment.SourcesGlobal Running Shoe Market Value: Grand View Research.

Exploring the Efficacy of BMAC and ADSC Injections in Knee Osteoarthritis   Hosts: David Rosenblum,MD Overview: In this episode, we delve into a recent study published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics that compares the therapeutic efficacy of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of these regenerative treatments and their correlation with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) cellularity. Key Points Discussed: Background on Osteoarthritis: Definition and impact of OA, particularly in older populations. Overview of traditional treatments and the shift towards regenerative medicine. Study Objectives: To compare the efficacy of BMAC and ADSC injections in symptomatic knee OA patients. To analyze MSC quantity and quality in harvested tissues from both sources. Methodology: Description of the study design involving 60 patients with knee OA. Details on patient demographics, injection protocols, and follow-up assessments (VAS, WOMAC, ROM). Results: Significant improvements in clinical scores for both BMAC and ADSC groups at 6 months. Discussion on the lack of significant correlation between MSC quantity and treatment efficacy. Insights into the success rates of MSC cultures from both bone marrow and adipose tissue. Conclusions: Both treatments demonstrated clinical improvements, with no substantial differences between them. BMAC showed higher MSC counts and faster recovery rates, but further research is needed to understand the underlying factors affecting efficacy. Implications for Clinical Practice: Considerations for clinicians when choosing between BMAC and ADSC treatments. Future directions for research in regenerative therapies for knee OA.

What makes a great orthopaedic leader? Dr. Alex Ghanayem, fresh off his term as the 137th President of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA), shares candid reflections on leadership, legacy, and the future of orthopaedic surgery in this thought-provoking conversation with podcast host, Dr. Doug Lundy. Dr. Ghanayem brings refreshing humility to his assessment of presidential leadership, emphasizing that the organization's strength lies in its committee members and chairs doing the essential work. His greatest satisfaction came not from personal accomplishment but from identifying emerging leaders who will guide orthopaedics through future challenges. Hear the advice that resonates far beyond orthopaedics: balance subspecialty expertise with broader engagement, develop interests outside medicine (like Dr. Ghanayem's own wildlife photography), and recognize that leadership service provides returns far exceeding what you invest. Listen to discover how orthopaedic leadership principles might transform your own approach to medicine and career development.

Multimodal analgesia refers to a pain medication strategy that targets multiple chemical pathways to achieve adequate pain relief. This concept has grown in popularity over the years particularly in light of the recognition that opioids have major downsides including dependence. We welcome Dr. J. Preston Van Buren, DO from the Naval Medical Center in San Diego to discuss his team's findings after implementing a focused multimodal analgesia strategy with a reduced number of prescribed opioid tablets following Sports Medicine surgery compared to a more traditional, opioid-heavy regimen that has been classically employed. 

Drs. Alex Crespo and Christian Pean conclude the conversation about the interesting potential use cases of AI in Orthopaedic Trauma. For additional educational resources visit OTA.org

The underlying causes of health disparities are many, and sometimes healthcare providers can exacerbate disparities with how they operate. Health equity researchers have conducted "secret shopper" studies, revealing how healthcare providers limit appointments — and even treatment recommendations — to people with certain types of insurance. “Patients with Medicaid were significantly less likely to be offered appointments compared to those with Medicare or private insurance, and in many cases, clinics told us they weren't accepting any new Medicaid patients or that they didn't take Medicaid at all,” says Dr. Daniel Wiznia, Associate Professor of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation at Yale and a former member of Movement Is Life's Steering Committee. “But when we would call back with private insurance, suddenly they have plenty of appointments available for the private insurance patients,” he says. Wiznia and his colleagues also found that even when Medicaid patients were offered appointments, wait times were often much longer — delays which can have serious consequences.  “So if a Medicaid patient has to wait six weeks or eight weeks for an appointment, while a private patient just waits maybe a week, that can really impact outcomes, especially for patients with chronic conditions or urgent needs,” he says. Wiznia joined Movement Is Life's Dr. Mary O'Connor to discuss these findings in detail. He offers advice to patients who may find themselves in a situation where they're denied care due to their insurance status and explains how raising reimbursement rates for Medicaid could help address the problem.
