The next step is to understand the reasoning behind these differences. Large-scale consolidation seems unlikely to improve these results. AAOS doi.org/10.1016/j.arth…

Women’s healthcare is now in peril in Texas and elsewhere. Lawyers are now in control of decisions that should be squarely in the hands of physicians and patients. Women are going to die because of the #SCOTUS. I can’t believe this is happening in America, 2022.

I’m so proud to have our work published in The Journal of Arthroplasty! Medicare payments to hospitals/surgeons for TJA continue to decline. #orthotwitter arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

Baby elephants typically don't learn to control their trunks until they're about a year old, which may result in behavior like this.

So happy to share our paper published today in CORR! We found evidence of economies is scale in arthroplasty, which may put smaller centers at a disadvantage in todays declining reimbursement environment journals.lww.com/clinorthop/Abs… #orthotwitter

Just published in CORR. What Is the Prevalence of Clinically Important Findings... journals.lww.com/clinorthop/Abs… CORR #orthotwitter

Collin Blackburn et al. have found evidence suggesting that smaller-volume hospitals—often serving rural & underserved communities—are disproportionately affected by reimbursement cuts, and may necessitate special treatments to remain viable. Read more: ow.ly/1nAF50OmEAX

Is surgery superior to nonoperative care for Rockwood Type III ACJ injuries? After synthesizing the few RCTs available, Duffett et al. found that operative treatment provides no clinically important benefits. Learn more #orthoTwitter: ow.ly/XOBu50Oolq9

Pleased to share our latest pub in CORR. Despite being classified & reimbursed as a primary sgy, conversion THA w/ removal of hardware has the same cost as revision THA. It’s time for conversion THA to be reclassified as a revision. @orthotwitter journals.lww.com/clinorthop/abs…

Happy to share our latest in CORR! Compared w/ OA, THA for AVN, DDH, posttraum arthritis & conversion arthroplasty are associated w/ a stepwise hierarchy of cost. Posttraum arthritis & conversions had 22% & 40% ⬆️ costs. CORR #orthotwitter journals.lww.com/clinorthop/abs…

After finding no difference in inpatient hospital costs of conversion THA & revision THA, Collin Blackburn et al. call on orthopaedic surgeons to advocate for the reclassification of conversion THA, or run the risk of decreased reimbursement. #orthoTwitter ow.ly/Uj7z50RpvjX

In #CORR, Collin Blackburn et al. found that THA for avascular necrosis, hip dysplasia, posttraumatic arthritis & conversion arthroplasty were associated w/increases in resource use, prolonged length of stay & discharge to a nonhome location. #orthoTwitter ow.ly/ABLm50SCk48
