Season 1 is officially in the books! We look back on all 21 episodes of The Ortho Zone, from sports injuries and joint health to surgical innovation and recovery, plus our favorite moments and what's…
In episode one, we discussed outpatient joint replacement, where I interviewed our senior partner and president, Dr. Paul Lombardi.
This was a great conversation talking about the evolution of outpatient joint replacement.
We explored how far the field has come, covering patient selection, advances in surgical technique, and how same-day surgery is transforming the patient experience.
Episode two saw me interview Dr. Charles Wong, one of our sports medicine specialists, and taking a dive into the science of sports nutrition and athletic performance and recovery.
This is clearly a very hot topic and something that everyone who's an athlete, whether they're recreational or professional, holds very dear to them.
We discuss how dietary strategies are no longer an afterthought in sports medicine and they're the foundational pillar of comprehensive athlete care.
Episode three saw Dr. Lombardi interview Dr. Claudia Ginsberg, one of our sports medicine non-operative specialists, for an in-depth conversation about knee arthritis.
They walk listeners through everything from conservative non-operative options to the signs that it may be time to consider surgical intervention in the form of knee replacement.
Episode four, we introduced you to Dr. Jonathan Sheeran, one of our hand and upper extremity specialists who took a deep dive into one of the most common conditions he treats, carpal tunnel syndrome.
He discussed diagnosis, symptoms, treatment options, surgical intervention, and what recovery looks like for patients.
Episode five, we introduced you to Dr. David Klein, one of our sports medicine and general orthopedic specialists who discussed one of the most common injuries we see in the world of orthopedics, fractures.
He cleared up an age-old question of whether a break and a fracture are actually the same thing and walked through how different fractures are diagnosed and treated at Tri-County.
Episodes six, seven, and eight were a miniseries where I interviewed Dr. Andrew Willis, the head team orthopedist for the New York Jets.
We discussed what it takes to get the team ready during the preseason, on game day, and during the offseason, including treating and evaluating players at the NFL Combine and the Draft.
Episode nine was a great episode discussing ACL repair, where I interviewed Dr. David Epstein, one of our foot and ankle and sports medicine specialists here at Tri-County Orthopedics.
We discussed not only ACL repair, but one of the emerging surgical techniques known as the bare or bridge enhanced ACL repair method.
We discussed patient selection criteria and how the technique compares with our traditional reconstruction techniques.
It's a great episode really looking at the orthopedic sports medicine technology that we strive to bring you here at Tri-County Orthopedics.
