Hip Fractures, Anterior Hip Replacement & Complex Reconstruction with Dr. Alon Antebi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when orthopedic trauma and joint replacement intersect? Dr. Matthew Sloan is joined by Dr. Alon Antebi, a fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeon whose practice spans complex fractures, pelvic and acetabular trauma, primary and revision joint replacement, and outpatient surgery.

RACER Knee: Does Robotic Knee Replacement Actually Improve Outcomes? | Andy Metcalfe & Ed Davis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The RACER Knee Trial is one of the most important randomized evaluations of robotic-assisted total knee replacement to date. The headline finding is provocative: robotic-assisted surgery was more precise, but patients did not report better outcomes at 12 months compared with conventional total knee replacement. But does that mean robots do not work? In this episode, I’m joined by RACER Knee investigators Professor Andy Metcalfe and Professor Ed Davis for an in-depth discussion of what the trial

The First Month After Knee Replacement: Week-by-Week Recovery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What really happens after you leave the hospital following a knee replacement? In this episode of The Joint Replacement Podcast, I walk through the first month of recovery week by week—including the physical challenges and the psychological transition that patients may not expect. We cover: • Week 1: Survival & Stability — pain, swelling, disrupted sleep, fatigue, and learning to accept help • Week 2: Variability — why recovery isn't linear and why a bad day doesn't necessarily mean you're going
