Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Joycelyn Wittstein, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and associate professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Duke who conducts NIH-funded research into post-traumatic knee arthritis. She has shared presentations at many prestigious medical conferences, and her work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals.  In our discussion, we dive into many of the joint pain symptoms Dr. Wittstein sees in her perimenopausal and menopausal patients, and we look at the impact of specific, targeted supplementations, including curcumin, collagen peptides, and creatine monohydrate. We explore effusions, the effects of osteoarthritic risk factors like prior injuries, obesity, the perimenopause to menopause transition, and the impact of GLP-1s on joint symptoms and bone physiology. We discuss REDS (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome) and the causes of osteoporosis, and Dr. Wittstein also shares what she does to protect her bones and why she believes DEXA scans must get done early in the aging trajectory, why fractures can be problematic, and the significance of exercise and bone-building foods.

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...

On today's episode we're focusing on challenging rotator cuff pathology with Dr. Patrick Denard, an orthopedic shoulder surgeon at the Oregon Shoulder Institute. We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on the treatment options for massive reparable, as well as irreparable, rotator cuff injuries. As always, links to all of the papers that we discuss on this show can be found on our podcast website – www.thesportsdocspod.comWe'll start off our discussion today with an expert opinion article from the July 2022 issue of Arthroscopy titled “Graft Augmentation of Repairable Rotator Cuff Tears: An Algorithmic Approach Based on Healing Rates.” Authored by our guest today, this article provides an algorithm for tissue augmentation of rotator cuff repairs based on the current available evidence regarding rotator cuff healing. The authors recommend using a Rotator Cuff Healing Index or “ROHI” cutoff of greater than or equal to 7 to select for the use of tissue augmentation, as the healing rate is 66% at 6 points but decreases substantially to 38% at 7 points.Then, from the May 2019 issue of AJSM, we review an article titled “Rotator Cuff Matrix Augmentation and Interposition: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.” The authors concluded that graft augmentation provided significantly lower retear rates and higher ASES scores compared with cuff repair alone. With regards to graft choice for augmentation, the highest rates of healing, as demonstrated by repair integrity on imaging, were shown for allograft at 82% compared to xenograft at 68%. Nonaugmented repairs had a healing rate of only 49%.We finish up our discussion today with the publication titled “Preoperative Nutrition Impacts Retear Rate After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.” This level III retrospective study published in the August issue of JBJS this year, sought to determine the relationship between preoperative nutritional status, using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index or “GNRI”, and rotator cuff retears after arthroscopic repair in patients 65 years of age and older. The authors found that poor pre-op nutrition, as exhibited by a GNRI less than 103, was an independent risk factor for a cuff retear at 2 years post-op. We are joined today by Dr. Patrick Denard, a board-certified orthopedic shoulder surgeon and Director of the Oregon Shoulder Institute. He is also the Director of the Oregon Shoulder Fellowship and Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Washington Status University School of Medicine. Dr. Denard is the Chairman and Founder of the Pinnacle Shoulder meeting and a reviewer for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow surgery. He has published and lectured extensively on the topic of rotator cuff pathology, so we are very excited to have him join our discussion today.

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. Determined to rebuild his life, he fought to overcome his addiction, drawing on a strength that had defined his years in law enforcement. Today, he channels that resilience into helping others. Stay up to date by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms.
