As healthcare moves toward value-based care, the time between diagnosis and TJA is under more scrutiny than ever. Balancing payer requirements with patient preferences is crucial in optimizing care pathways. Our blog dives into how evolving reimbursement policies are influencing preoperative management and how PROs can help tailor timelines to meet both value and patient-centered care goals. https://loom.ly/fJdP0fo #Healthcare #Medicare #PatientExperience #Surgery #ValueBasedCare #PatientCenteredCare #OrthopedicSurgery

Have you heard about the breakthrough in knee osteoarthritis treatment? Arthrosamid offers a promising solution for individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis, a condition where the cartilage in the joint breaks down, causing pain and stiffness. This innovative treatment involves an ultrasound-guided injection of a non-biodegradable hydrogel directly into the affected joint. The gel acts as a cushion, providing much-needed pain relief and improving mobility. Why Choose Arthrosamid? Arthrosamid is especially effective for patients who haven't found relief through traditional therapies like medications or physical therapy. As a minimally invasive procedure, it offers a great alternative to surgery, with reduced risk and minimal recovery time. KIMS Hospital are dedicated to providing exceptional care and the expert team of healthcare professionals, advanced facilities, and personalised approach ensure that patients receive the best possible treatment.

A very important article on the state of endometriosis and fear mongering to suggest preferential medical or alternative management. “…counseling patients about the very high risk of recurrence does not compensate for incomplete surgical resection of the disease. We learned to identify the limits of the disease using arrows, bubbles, and blackspots (3)—which should be taught using a standardized and didactic description (3). In fact, the data from Vallée and al. and previous series (2) suggests that surgery may be preferred for the patients who present with severe pain (particularly dyspareunia) or infertility and when medical treatments have had a limited effect on the volume of the nodules.” https://lnkd.in/gm3nT2w9

The time between diagnosis and TJA is often shaped by payer-mandated care measures like physical therapy. But are these delays beneficial or do they compromise patient satisfaction? Our blog discusses how integrating PROs during this phase can balance value and patient preference, providing real-time data to guide whether it’s time to move forward with surgery or adjust the care plan. https://loom.ly/fJdP0fo #Healthcare #Medicare #PatientExperience #Surgery #ValueBasedCare #PatientCenteredCare #OrthopedicSurgery

American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) just published one of the largest regenerative Medicine textbooks (Second Edition). Laxmaiah Manchikanti, MD is the main editor and I was honored to be one of the co-editors. In this Knee chapter, we discuss the role of PRP and Bone marrow concentrate to treat various knee injuries and osteoarthritis. The focus is on the different techniques to inject the joint, meniscus, MCL, LCL, etc. Emphasis was given to the advanced fluoroscopic guided subchondral/intraosseous Knee procedures (femoral and tibial) that are required to treat moderate to severe osteoarthritis. There is preliminary evidence pointing toward the safety and efficacy of PRP and bone marrow concentrate to alleviate the pain and suffering of many patients who want to avoid surgery or those who are not candidates. #kneepain #stemcells #prp #chronicpain
