Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Filling, Crown or Implant? The Case for Hip Resurfacing
Q: Who is the ideal resurfacing patient from your perspective?
Beaulé generally considers resurfacing for patients unsuitable for hip preservation who have suitable anatomy, no major leg-length discrepancy or uncorrectable femoral torsion, and are up to about 60. He may consider it for selected active older patients but advises against it for people over 70.
Filling, Crown or Implant? The Case for Hip Resurfacing
Q: What actually went wrong in the metal-on-metal era?
Beaulé says several factors contributed, including problematic designs and component positioning. Large-head metal-on-metal total hips brought trunnion wear risks, while vertical cup placement could lead to additional problems; resurfacing and these total hips were then often grouped together.
The 2026 Shark Tank Winners Rethinking Surgical Imaging
Q: What do you say to a surgeon who trusts their current imaging but is curious about ODI's approach?
An ODI system provides a larger field of view, reduces radiation, and can be integrated without slowing the workflow, making it easier for surgeons to achieve better, more consistent positioning and outcomes.
The 2026 Shark Tank Winners Rethinking Surgical Imaging
Q: What's it actually like standing up in front of that panel and pitching your company to a room full of surgeons?
It was exciting and validating; the pitch showcased both the vision for joint kinematics and the practical, anterior-hip–focused business case that appealed to the judges and audience.
Managing Instability in AA Hips (S+N Surgeon Roundtable)
Q: What is the biggest downstream impact decision point for stability in an anterior approach?
Selecting the implant family and maintaining familiarity with the chosen system to enable consistent, reliable outcomes and avoid getting trapped mid-case by unfamiliar options.
