Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#59 - Can One Surgeon Design a Better Hip Replacement? H. Kurtis Biggs, DO

Q: What is the measurable clinical improvement that would convince you that your stem is superior to what's on the market right now?

Biggs points to restoring anterior offset, reducing impingement and potentially dislocation risk, and making implantation easier with less soft-tissue trauma. He describes these as hoped-for benefits that require evidence over time.

#59 - Can One Surgeon Design a Better Hip Replacement? H. Kurtis Biggs, DO

Q: How do you figure out what the best hip replacement implant is, and how do we develop a femoral stem to make it better than another stem?

Biggs says a stem should be easier to implant, complement proximal bone, and restore natural hip anatomy and offset rather than forcing the surgeon to manipulate the implant position.

#63 - Why Can't I Sleep After Hip or Knee Replacement? 7 Tips From a Surgeon

Q: How many weeks did it take before you could finally get a good night's sleep?

Sloan asks listeners to share their recovery experiences in the comments to help others facing the same difficulty.

#60 - What Should You Eat Before Joint Replacement Surgery? Sagar Desai, MD

Q: What's a realistic daily protein target for say a 70 year old thinking about a joint replacement surgery leading up to surgery?

Desai gives a general target of 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, while clarifying that this recommendation comes more from fitness practice than strong surgical studies.

#60 - What Should You Eat Before Joint Replacement Surgery? Sagar Desai, MD

Q: If a patient does exactly one thing in a couple of weeks leading up to hip, knee replacement, any other orthopedic surgery really, what should it be and why would you pick nutrition over, say, prehab exercises?

Desai recommends a high-quality protein diet and good hydration, emphasizing that nutrition is comparatively practical to implement and can help patients maintain muscle around surgery.
