Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Michael Millis
Q: How do you define success in PAO, especially across age groups?
He emphasizes that success is nuanced and patient-dependent, prioritizing mechanical correction, realistic expectations, long-term follow-up, and shared decision-making rather than chasing a one-size-fits-all outcome.
Dr. Michael Millis
Q: What was your first PAO like, and how did you manage the learning curve?
Millis recalls a cautious, well-planned first PAO in 1991 that used careful case selection and mentorship, with ongoing refinement and a long-term commitment to follow-up studies to validate outcomes.
Dr. Michael Millis
Q: Can you describe the origins and purpose of Anchor?
Anchor began as a small, carefully limited North American multi-center effort led by Gantz, Millis, Cloacy, and Truesdale to enable collaboration, standardize protocols, and generate meaningful multi-site data in hip preservation.
Dr. Michael Millis
Q: How did your fellowship abroad influence your approach when you returned to Boston?
The German AO experience with Heinz Wagner broadened his surgical repertoire, enabling him to introduce advanced osteotomies in Boston, and Hall's mentorship ensured institutional support for adopting these techniques.
Dr. Michael Millis
Q: What sparked your interest in the hip as a specialty within pediatric orthopedics?
Millis explains that exposure to John Hall's leadership and a progressive environment, plus the influence of Salter-trained techniques, drew him toward hips and spines, with a gradual shift from spine focus to hip preservation.
