The goal of this podcast is to have both infectious disease physicians and orthopedic surgeons sit down to discuss the “joint” prevention, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal infections. We break down the existing data and open the lines of communication between the medical and surgical specialties to help navigate these challenging clinical cases.

  • Best Podcast on Bone and Joint Infections - and a great listen for anyone interested.

    This podcast is remarkable - how many other medical podcasts can you think of which feature two hosts from different specialities?

    Drs Seidelman and Plate clearly know their stuff, but they are also engaging hosts, and they encourage guests to discuss their own topics of interest in an approachable, informal, friendly, and fun way.

    If I can make one recommendation: let’s have some surgeons on “Bugged and Baffled” - let’s discuss some of the difficult surgical decisions that are made, how th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does the "5-second" Rule Apply to Dropped Medical Objects in the OR?
Q: What did the study find about the five-second rule in the OR?
The study found that the five-second rule does not apply in the OR; contamination occurs rapidly and is not eliminated by brief contact, even with disinfection prior to reuse.
Does the "5-second" Rule Apply to Dropped Medical Objects in the OR?
Q: Where did this idea for the study originate?
It started as a hospital epidemiology phone call about a difficult case, which organically led to a research question and a real-world study design with actual liner samples.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: “Should prolonged antimicrobials be given to patients who have undergone recent reimplantation surgery with all cultures being negative?” Part 2
Q: What was the recommendation that you guys put out there based on these studies and the quality of the research?
The panel described a weak signal that prolonged oral antibiotics after reimplantation might reduce reinfection risk, but the evidence is insufficient for a conclusive recommendation; practice remains cautious and variable, with an emphasis on individualized decisions.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Is there a role for suppressive antibiotic treatment (SAT) only in patients with PJI?” Part 2
Q: How do antibiotics and their susceptibility profiles influence SAT choices compared to the actual microorganism involved?
The discussions emphasize that the availability of effective antibiotics and their stability against biofilms and resistance patterns often guides SAT more than the specific bug identity itself.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Is there a role for suppressive antibiotic treatment (SAT) only in patients with PJI?” Part 2
Q: What factors drive the decision to initiate SAT in a patient with a chronic, draining sinus tract and limited surgical options?
Decisions hinge on patient candidacy for surgery, the antibiotic susceptibility landscape, and the practicalities of achieving a tolerable and safe prolonged suppression when curative surgery is not feasible.
