This episode reveals how orthopedic surgery is being transformed, not by expensive robots or CT scans, but by smart, affordable navigation technology. Jerry Ennett, Senior Managing Partner at Intellijoint, joins us to share how their system is helping surgeons achieve precise hip and knee replacements while reducing costs and complexity. We explore how robotic systems like Mako are changing surgical strategy, not just in the OR, but in how surgeons attract patients and grow their practices. Jerry highlights real-world examples, including Dr. Marshall in Rhode Island, showing how technology becomes a competitive edge in both clinical outcomes and patient engagement. The conversation digs into the debate over accuracy, consistency, and personalized care. Jerry breaks down how Intellijoint ensures even the outlier patients who fall outside textbook ranges, receive the precision and reliability they need. It's a powerful case for why navigation systems are becoming essential, not optional. Looking ahead, we discuss the growing demand for smaller, faster, outpatient-friendly systems like the T-mini. Jerry shares how market shifts, patient expectations, and surgeon branding are all driving change and why sales professionals need to adapt if they want to succeed in this evolving space. If you're in medical sales, orthopedics, or just curious about how innovation reshapes industries, this episode is packed with insights that will sharpen your strategy and broaden your perspective.

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Jonathan Stieber, Director of the Spine Center at both OrthoManhattan and OrthoEnglewood, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Mount Sinai and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Practicing in the heart of New York City for more than 17 years, Dr. Stieber brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective on how spine care has evolved—and where it's headed.   Having trained during the early surge of motion preservation, Dr. Stieber shares his firsthand experience participating in some of the first clinical trials for lumbar disc replacement and, almost two decades later, clinical trials for the first lumbar total joint replacement. From the early days of the Flexicore disc to being one of the first to utilize annular closure devices, Dr. Stieber has evolved alongside the technologies that have become a mainstay in spine care today. His early exposure to the promise and limitations of these technologies helped shape a surgical philosophy rooted in function, durability, and thoughtful patient selection. And as a spine patient himself, Dr. Stieber opens up about what really matters when making treatment decisions—restoring function, durability, and giving patients treatments tailored to their specific needs.    Dr. Stieber also explores how enabling technologies like navigation, robotics, and advanced imaging are redefining precision in the OR and expanding access to motion-preserving procedures. Beyond the operating room, he discusses his latest endeavor: launching a purpose-built outpatient spine and joint surgery center just outside Manhattan, designed to deliver a more streamlined and personalized care experience for patients.   In this episode you'll learn: How motion preservation has evolved from early hype to real-world results—and why it's here to stay this time. The importance of tailoring procedures to each patient—and how pre-operative goal setting can help patients make more informed long-term decisions. How enabling technologies like robotics, navigation, minimally-invasive approaches are coalescing to provide a higher-level of treatment options to patients suffering from chronic leg and/or back pain. Where non-instrumented motion preserving alternatives fit into the care continuum and how they may provide an alternative to patients who are facing a cervical or lumbar spinal fusion. How Dr. Stieber is creating a new approach to surgical care—giving patients expanded treatment options, across the entire orthopedic spectrum, under one roof.   Whether it's cervical disc replacement, minimally invasive procedures, or lumbar total joint replacement, Dr. Stieber brings a deep understanding of the full motion preservation toolbox—and when to use each option. With a strong focus on individualized care, innovation, and surgical excellence, Dr. Stieber offers invaluable insight for surgeons, industry professionals, and patients alike.   Learn more about Dr. Stieber: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-stieber-m-d-aa09494/ Jonathan Stieber: https://www.stiebermd.com/ OrthoManhattan: https://www.orthomanhattan.com/ OrthoEnglewood: https://www.orthoenglewood.com/   You can find The Spine Pod on all Podcast Streaming Platforms, including: YouTube: / @thespinepod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0DBzWfV...

Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction. His Story, Journey, And Mission. Special episode. In a profession marked by service, risk, and resilience, law enforcement officers often face challenges that extend far beyond their shifts. For Brock Bevell, a retired police officer from Mesa, Arizona, the impact of his service was life-altering, but his journey from injury and addiction to recovery and advocacy is a testament to human strength and purpose. Police Officer Attacked, Surgeries, Retirement, Addiction. His Inspiring Recovery. His Inspiring Recovery. She threw the truck into reverse and hit him, causing serious injuries. This interview is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcast, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.  The Day Everything Changed While serving in the Mesa Police Department, Brock's life took a devastating turn during a high-stakes encounter. Attempting to arrest a suspect involved in trafficking her daughter, the suspect reversed her vehicle, striking Brock and his partner. The collision left him with severe injuries, including a broken ankle and damaged knee, necessitating multiple orthopedic surgeries. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms.   These procedures, while critical for his recovery, introduced him to opioid painkillers—medications that, although effective for pain management, carried the risk of dependency. For Brock, the line between relief and addiction blurred, leading him down a path of profound struggle. Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction. Look for supporting stories about this in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. From Service to Struggle The physical injuries weren't the only wounds Brock carried. His forced retirement left him grappling with an identity crisis. “That was my identity. That's who I was,” he shared. Without the camaraderie and purpose of the police force, Brock turned to his prescribed medication, seeking solace. What started as pain management spiraled into addiction, unraveling his personal life. The effects of his addiction were far-reaching. Brock's marriage ended, his wife moved away, and his relationship with his five children suffered. His life, once defined by structure and duty, became chaotic and unrecognizable. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms.   The Opioid Crisis: A National Epidemic Brock's story is not unique. Each year, millions of Americans undergo surgery, and opioids remain a primary choice for postoperative pain management. Unfortunately, their widespread use has contributed significantly to addiction and overdose crises across the country. Studies reveal that over 80% of surgical patients receive opioids, with many prescriptions involving highly addictive drugs like oxycodone or hydrocodone. Police Orthopedic Surgery Led to Drug Addiction. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media outlets. Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. For law enforcement officers, the risks are compounded by the physical demands of their jobs. Injuries are common, and the reliance on painkillers for rehabilitation can unintentionally pave the way for dependency, as it did in Brock's case. The Turning Point Despite the darkness, Brock found his way to recovery.
