Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Orthopaedics in primary care
Q: What role does prehab play in outcomes after joint surgery?
Prehab strengthens the patient before surgery, establishing a trajectory for recovery and reducing the perceived need for aggressive post-op interventions.
Orthopaedics in primary care
Q: How has EOS imaging changed the way you plan treatments or surgeries?
It offers a rapid, functional view of the whole body, helping identify the true pain generators and enabling better planning by considering biomechanics and adjacent joints.
Orthopaedics in primary care
Q: What can GPs do in the lead-up to a referral to get the most useful information to the orthopedic surgeon?
Provide a clear, patient-centered narrative about functional limitations and real-life goals (e.g., stairs, playing with grandchildren) to guide the decision-making process.
Is it pelvic venous congestion?
Q: What is the typical treatment pathway if a venous cause is confirmed?
Treatment often combines diagnostic venography with intervention, such as embolization of the affected ovarian vein, and, in cases like May-Thurner syndrome, left renal vein stenting; outcomes are generally favorable with significant symptom relief for most patients.
Is it pelvic venous congestion?
Q: What are the recommended initial investigations once pelvic venous disorder is suspected?
Begin with targeted ultrasound, prioritizing transvaginal ultrasound performed by experienced sonographers to assess pelvic veins; consider transabdominal duplex and ovarian vein duplex studies, followed by CT or MR venography to map anatomy and plan intervention.
