Ever wondered what is entailed in the life of a Prosthetist and Orthotist?  Joris and Brent take a deep dive into what a day looks like.

With the wonders of technology in healthcare come tremendous improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life. On today's episode, we have two phenomenal guests chatting with us about osseointegration in the field of prosthetics, which helps individuals with limb deformities such as amputations move and function more optimally.Haris Kafedzic is an American Board Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist and Eschen's lead Manhattan Prosthetist and Residency Director. Dr. Robert Rozbruch is an orthopedic surgeon, the Chief of the Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service since 2005, and Director of the Limb Salvage and Amputation Reconstruction Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). On the show, our guests talk about the role of a prosthetist and an orthopedic surgeon along with the various other practitioners like physical therapists that contribute to a patient's care. They discuss typical patient cases like individuals with leg length discrepancies or limb amputations of all kinds. Currently, the United States' medical system hasn't fully caught up with the advancements in the field of prosthetics, which makes it difficult to refer appropriate patients to the right places. Both Haris and Dr. Rozbruch advocate for building awareness around osseointegration as they celebrate their patients' success stories. Dr. S. Robert Rozbruch, after graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, attended Weill Medical College of Cornell University from which he graduated with honors in research. Residency training in Orthopedic Surgery at HSS was followed by two fellowships. He did specialized training in Trauma as an AO fellow at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Additional training in adult and pediatric limb lengthening followed at the Maryland Center for Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction. He is Professor of Clinical Orthopedic Surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He is a member of several national medical societies including fellowship in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Orthopedic Trauma Association, and The Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction Society (LLRS) of which he was President 2012-2013. He has lectured on his clinical and research works at both national and international meetings and has authored over 150 articles in medical journals and chapters in orthopedic textbooks. He is the editor of 2 major textbooks: Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction Surgery and Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Surgery Case Atlas.Haris Kafedzic received a Master's degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.  While attending Northwestern University, he was part of a small group of students selected to travel to Guatemala and provide orthotic and prosthetic care to underprivileged patients. Haris's personal story has greatly influenced him to focus on prosthetic care.  He started working for Eschen as a dual-discipline resident. Haris has advanced training in many aspects of prosthetic care including myoelectric upper limb prostheses and microprocessor knee and ankle units.  He has worked closely with Dr. Rozbruch the past four and a half years treating upper and lower extremity osseointegration patients.  He is committed to helping every patient achieve their maximum functional potential utilizing the latest technology and technique.  Connect with them at:Eschenpo.comhss.edu/limblengthening.asposseointegrationUSA.com

You've probably come across an orthosis at some point in your life, whether it was an insole for your shoe or a brace for your knee. But there is so much more to the world of orthotics and prosthetics in helping people function and move optimally. On our show today is Andrew Myers, a Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist with over 35 years of clinical experience.We discuss different types of orthoses, both for the upper and lower limbs, and their uses. Andrew dives into his unique experience working with high level atheletes and how he works closely with physical therapists in the plan of care for return to play. He also talks about the need for proper orthopedic evaluations and how orthotics can help people prophylactically as well. Andrew is a graduate of New York University and has been a senior executive for several public and private companies in the orthopedic rehabilitative field.  Andrew owns and operates two organizations, Eschen Prosthetic and Orthotic Labs and New England Orthotic and Prosthetic Systems.  Combined, these two organization have 27 locations across New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts making it one of the largest independent orthotic and prosthetic companies in the Northeast. Andrew's primary focus has been working with practitioners to deliver clinical excellence and the formation of patient-centric programs which enhance the lives and outcomes of patients. Connect with Andrew:www.eshenpo.com@eschen_neops_po

Hello? Hello, this is your host Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Sean Thorncroft, a certified, Orthodist- Prosthetist, who is very passionate about nutrition and as creator of "The Vital New U" welcome Sean. What a pleasure it is to have you here today.www.NeoLifeAfrica.com/vitalnewuThank you, Caroline. I know you have a very interesting backstory. Can you explain what your certification is in regards to the medical community and how it inspired you to start your business? A certified Orthodist- Prosthetist, that's hard to say, but it's very interesting. And I had not heard of that title before, would you explain what is. Not a problem. I'm in the medical field that most people get to meet me. I always say by accident because being a certified orthotist and prosthetist means that when I meet you, you've probably been involved in some sort of trauma, whether it be a motor vehicle accident, whether it be you fell down some steps and broken ankle and you've come to me for what's commonly known as a moon boot or a pair of crutches. You would see me for things like that. If you've developed a thing like a defiant thrombosis or blood clot, and you need in compression stockings, you'd come and see me for things like that. If you feet or what I call your wheel alignment being at. So your foot is a flat foot, or you've got a very high arch and you needing, uh, innersoles or foot orthodics to correct. Foot problem. We do Neck collars and spinal braces and that sort of thing. So we, part of the, you could say the rehabilitation team after a traumatic incident. I worked closely with the orthopedic surgeons. I work closely with the physiotherapists and occupational therapists. We part of, of the team. And then if you've lost an arm or a leg, we replace those things. Yeah.   That is very interesting.  Talk about, giving help to people. I but, um, that's what, uh, filling job though, to know that somebody had a major impact in their life and you're trying to give them something to guide them something very tangible, really neat. So in, I know that your family history is very medical, that you grew up in a very medical environment. You have shared with me that this is kind of a natural decision for you to follow suit in the same path. So how did that influence your medical career and how did that spur into this new business that you're venturing into? All right. So healthcare and prevention of health care. I suppose two opposite ends of the extreme and yes, my whole family is involved in the medical field. We've got no doctors, but, um, I grew up with my family being involved with first aid and I've got a sister who's a qualified paramedic and another one who is a radiographer. And my parents volunteered voluntarily ran an ambulance service way back in the dark ages before ambulance services were more of a professional setup as they are today. Um, Slowly, but surely I've gotten into the nutrition side of things because being in the medical field, I don't have grown major dislike to any medication. I know medication has its uses. And I do believe personally, my personal opinion is that it is over prescribed and probably overused. And I know a lot of doctors especially here in South Africa, the, the medical training for doctors and dieticians is very much on a treatment basis and not a preventative basis. And in my day job in the orthotics, I'm a, I'm the sort of person that wants to look for the cause of a problem. And if I can identify the cause and correct it, or prevent a problem further on ,I find that a lot better than actually fixing a problem. Once it's developed, I love that that's our sowhere I'm at. Medicine has its place, but, I think too many people just  jump in that route cause they want that, that microwave kind of treatment. But so much of it is preventable and doable, so you're on a mission now with an inspiration from nutrition to help people prevent disease. How did you use that on your own personal arthritis? All right. Good. So. Over the years I've started developing this interest in nutrition and seeing how it can prevent problems. And as a child, uh, uh, work contracted measles. Later on in years effected the joints specifically in my left wrist. And I got to the stage over over the years, it was almost like a party trick where my joints, my wrist used to make a grinding noise. And as I got older, it started to get painful and seeing patients on a regular basis who have got arthritis and I see the sort of medication that they are forced to live on and if you go to a rheumatologist, for instance, they are going to put you on chemotherapy drugs in a lot of cases. And I've worked in, yeah, I've worked in oncology units and I just don't like the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation. I started going into this and I looked into it and I thought, you know, there are alternatives. And I started to use omega-3, which is the source that I used was Salmon oil. And then glucosamine, I learned that glucosamine can help to regenerate the cartilage. Now arthritis simply means inflammation of the joint in the way that it works is that it tends to chew away. The cottage between bones now, between every bone there's cartilage and for one of any better description, it's like Teflon and, you know, the Teflon makes joints or anything fairly smooth. And when that cartilage wears away, It's a little bit like having send in a bearing joint or rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together, which is where the inflammation and the pain comes from. So by taking the glucosamine on a regular basis, not just when I feel the pain,  I started to take it as a chronic medication and I found that within a fairly short space of time, the omega three, which has anti-inflammatory propertiestook the pain away. But I still had the noise in my joints, but over a period of about six months, I noticed that the noise had disappeared. Now that tells me that the cartilage has regenerated. It's not never going to regenerate to a hundred percent. Right. But it certainly regenerates to a sufficient amount that I now have a smooth articulating surface between the two bones in my wrist. I'm now pain free. I have no more noise and I'm able to carry on life as normal as I had done in my younger years without having any pain, not taking any painkillers and yeah, I've got a good lifestyle once again. That's amazing.  People just don't emphasize enough what you put in your mouth and how it can affect your body, especially when it concerns pain. I mean, how cool is that you have a wrist that doesn't make noise is pain free and it's just by adding some glucosamine and omega threes into your diet.  That's extraordinary, um, kind of use yourself as a Guinea pig and did the research and tried something and it worked. So that's just such a huge blessing. That's just awesome. Can you tell her, if I tell you, listen to us about a couple of success stories that you've witnessed and including that leukemia, when you shared with me yes. Uh, we had a gentleman here. Uh, he lived in my area he's since relocated to America. Um, and at the age of roundabout 26, he was diagnosed with leukemia and went through all the radiation and the chemotherapy and he wasn't getting any better. And his oncologist who has a family friend eventually said to him, listen, I'm afraid we can't do anything more medically. So you're going to have to go home and prepare your days are numbered. And a friend of his at the time had offered him some nutritional supplements and he said, no rubbish. The doctors have told me that nothing is going to cure me because not being on all the drugs. How can these nutritional supplements actually make a difference? Whether he got to the stage where he knew I'm going to die anyway. So what have I got to lose? And he started taking the supplements and the particular supplements that we use are organic and made from food. And what he discovered was that in a very short space of time, he started feeling better. He started feeling more energetic. And started having a closer look at these supplements changed his diet, changed his lifestyle, got involved with juicing, started to increase the amount of supplements that he was taking and remembering that supplements do not cure a problem, but they give you a body that correct tools to heal itself. Well, that particular gentleman is not in his sixties, really late sixties. If I'm not mistaken. And runs around like somebody in his twenties, he has traveled the world. He is pain-free and completely, f never say you cured of cancer and leukemia is a cancer, but he's in total remission and has been for many, many years and has made it now his mission in life to educate people on the power of nutrition. And he's just one of many, many stories I've seen of people who have had cancer, people that had arthritis. People have had all sorts of chronic diseases who have been able to reverse those conditions. Not only arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as osteoarthritis and numerous conditions have been reversed or at least become tolerant over the years. I know a couple of people who have overcome strokes. We're, I think if they hadn't have had the nutrition probably would have been in a significantly worse state of mind than what they are now. You can still see some remnants of the fact that they've had the strokes, that if you were not told of their history, you probably would not know that they'd had serious strokes. Wow. Um, because, and they both, both of the gentlemen that I'm referring to are now in their seventies, uh, the one is going to be turning 80 early next year. You would never know that they had ever had any problems in the earlier years. That is so impressive. Oh my goodness. I've gone through culinary school and I've had the same amount of college instruction for nutrition as a doctor. And I just find that utterly so sad. Um, and at this point I know probably 50 fold, but most doctors know about nutrition, but what disturbs me most is that people believe everything the doctor says, it's like, I can't do anything for you anymore, which is in my mind, not true because even if you're there with some empathy, that's better than nothing. And a lot of times people give you a date, which I think is just horrifying. Um, really right. It's you have six months to live and they die like on the day because they've been told that and they get in their brain and they make it happen. There is hope in nutrition and I liked the way you express that it's not necessarily a cure, but it gives your body the tools. I always refer to nutrition as like soldiers. And when you put them in your body, they're either going to fight for you or they're going to fight against you. So you must put some good ones in and have them fight for you, right? That was so awesome. One of the things you said I thought was hysterical was that, I quote unquote to, you says I'm doing myself out of a job. Can you explain that? Yeah, because in a lot of cases, a lot of the patients that I see specifically in hospital, um, are they because of diet related conditions and even some of, or in fact, quite a few of the amputees that are see all day because of diabetes and diabetes is a nasty thing. As you know, a lot of people are diabetic these days and those figures are just rising and that. A vast majority of cases is diet related. So things like obesity, which in turn leads to diabetes and problems with knees. So you ended up with knee replacements and hip replaced. All those sorts of things shouldn't actually need to be happening if their diet was correct. The one particular gentleman that I'm referring to who is in his eighties, When he was younger, he had sinus issues and he was a smoker and a drinker. So in theory, he should actually have been dead by now, but that man is probably fitter than what I am. He runs on a daily basis. He works out in the gym on a daily basis. He is on absolutely no medication. He no longer wears glasses and absolutely amazing person. Um, in, in fact, the founder of the company that I work with nearly died when he was a child, he says he vividly remembers his mother finding the priest one night saying you better come and pray for Jerry because I don't think he's going to see the morning. And that was because he had asthma. And he says he is sitting there in this house going, I don't want to die. And once again, the doctors said I'm sorry. There's nothing more that we can do for you. And his mother's refused to accept that and started studying about the power of nutrition, which was known. I mean, we're going back to when he was 14, he's now 80. So it's going back a few years and through good nutrition, he was able to reverse his asthma. And again, today at 80, you would never say that he ever had a problem because he's fit and he's healthy. Also regularly runs regularly, works out and he is on no medication. And when he has his medical tests on an annual basis is figures are all in an absolute normal range. There is no problems with cholesterol, elevated blood pressure or anything along those. That is an amazing story and I hope that inspires some of our listeners. Gosh, good for that guy, that's so awesome. It's hard to hear those kinds of words coming from somebody's mouth and then having the the self discipline to, absorb that and make change when, when it seems like such a sentence, you know, that's, that's really beautiful.  I love that and I love that he's helping other people. Oh, what a good one? I heard you say something about the relationship between fiber and your appendix, which was a really cool thing for me. I had never heard of this. And I'm a big fiber advocate. So can you talk to us a little bit about that relationship? Yeah. Fiber is, is crucial in our diet and I do believe in today's lifestyle with the processed foods and the fast foods, we're not getting that fiber. When we talk fiber, there's actually numerous different types of fiber. There's soluble. There's insoluble is, Pectins is all different types of fiber. And we need that full spectrum because some fibers, um, are there to work as a broom to clean up toxins out of your system. Some fibers are they to absorb excess sugar specifically in diabetics. Uh, if your fiber levels are too low, You're not going to absorb the excess sugar in your system, which in turn affects the kidneys, um, appendicitis, which I think growing up, it was known that at the certain age you had your appendix removed and you had your tonsils removed because that was what was, it was part of the course of life, right? This is it.  Both essential items to our immune system. And an appendicitis is generally caused by lack of fiber in the diet because you the toxins that build up because it's not being able to be flushed out of your system, which then blocks up in the appendix, which in turn becomes inflamed. And if an appendix bursts, well, that is a life-threatening condition, correct? If it's, if it's just inflamed, it's just very uncomfortable. I do agree. I'm a plant pusher, so I do agree with fiber and it just makes logical sense to me. It's it's cleaning out your whole system. It's like a broom, the one part that is interesting about the diabetes too, and how it can help regulate sugar. I did not know that, but it also, again makes sense. Cause it's absorbing. Um, so that is, that is really fascinating. And the other thing with the fiber is it helps the bacteria grow and you'll gut, which helps your immune system. Yes. And there are certain nutrients, specifically your vitamin B's that won't break down. If it doesn't have the correct bacteria to break it down, that's a whole big involved system. Yeah. I'm, I'm also very passionate about gut health because I personally believe like 95% of everything happens there and it's amazing. Um, What we can do to aid our gut and the bacteria in there. Um, I know one of the things that I'm doing is I'm eating sauerkraut, a bite every single day. I tried to have some chia seed or flax seed, olives, all that good stuff, and it's all to help my gut bacteria. People need to think of it as a garden, right? You need to plant the good stuff and then you're going to grow and you're going to produce good things that are going to aid you nutritionally. So that's it. And diet is what you eat. Nutrition is what your body absorbs. Sadly enough. Cut off where we don't get the nutrition. We've got the diet, but we don't know the nutrition. That's good. Ooh, that's a good, I love that statement. Ah, tell our listeners how they can get ahold of you and learn more about The Vital New U And it's U not YOU.. That's correct. So I named my particular business vital new u, because I believe that we can change and become new. And the vital is the new nutrients that we need. That are vital to our life. And then obviously you, so I'm based in South Africa and I know this is being broadcast around the world, which is quite daunting for me, but, uh, I do have a website and I am an independent distributor for a range of products. And some of the website is part of that company, but you'll find it at www. NeoLifeAfrica.com/vitalnewu,  V I T A L N E W U, and I will put that in the show notes for everybody. So they can refer back to that.  But definitely, worthy of getting the information. And hopefully to inspire others to take action and do some good things with their nutrition. Okay. So my last question for you, Sean. The heavy one. If there was one thing you could eliminate from this world with no parameters, what would it be and why? I think I would like to eliminate greed because greed causes so many issues. And that's one of the things that frustrates me quite often in my job, because I am in private practice. And even though. Yeah, things revolve around money. There's a lot of people I would love to help, but I can't. And I suppose you can't really call it greed, but it, because of money that I can't help them. Right. And if we could get rid of greed, everybody would be able to help everybody else. And I think in a lot of cases, people look down on some people. They say, no, you can't help me. So I'm not prepared to help you. And to me, that's greedy. Why does one person have more than somebody else? So I think if we could eliminate greed, it would make life a little bit more pleasant to them. You know, and we all have gifts and we all can help people. Unfortunately, I believe like you said, greed gets in the way. And that's so sad because there's help being offered. Um, and it can't be taken because, money drives the path. So very sad, but, but very true. Well, I thank you such an interesting story. Yeah. A lot of nuggets of great information. You are obviously very good at what you do and have a wonderful knowledge base. And I thank you for sharing that hopefully my listeners, you vitality feeders have also. Enjoyed this as much as I have, and I hope you can share it with your friends and family to maybe inspire them and maybe benefit their life with better nutrition to aid them in their pain or their medical journey. That would be lovely. Again. Thank you, Sean, for sharing your insights with us. It's my pleasure. Thank you, Caroline. For hosting me, it's been great.

In this episode we explore a rarely covered but essential part of the orthopedic family, The Orthotist. We are talking to Orthotist, entrepreneur, and industry influencer Mr Spencer Doty. We discuss the effects of the current pandemic on orthopedics, elective surgeries, hospitals and clinics. Spencer describes how they are delivering care today and what the future holds. This was recorded last week and although not technically inline with our “Alt-AAOS” programming the content was too valuable not to post right away. What is the “Alt-AAOS” series? We, like you, had planned to be in Orlando to bring you interviews and happenings associated with this epic annual event. To do this we had proudly partnered with our first ever sponsor, Xiros. When the event cancelled we figured that was that, but Xiros generously continued to support our mission to “Advance patient care through the sharing of ideas and information” and the “Alt-AAOS” was born.Thank you Xiros you rock!
