At the 2024 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our Digital Health Committee Chair Shaun P. Patel, MD and Committee Member William B. Kurtz, MD had the pleasure of speaking with Saad Tarabichi, MD about his study presented at the meeting on “Glycated Albumin as a Predictor of Outcomes in Primary TJA Patients.” In this really study on a very common issue in the US – diabetes, Dr. Tarabichi uncovered that detecting diabetes is not as simple as we think it is. A study that initially starting with a FARE Grant by AAHKS recieved two years ago began looking into glycated albumin, a very standardized test. The study later consisted of a study with 1200 enrolled patients and Dr. Tarabichi predicting 90-day outcomes from these enrolled patients. Take a listen, I think the findings in this study will really surprise you. Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified ! In This Episode: William B. Kurtz, MD Shaun P.

At the 2024 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our Digital Health Committee Chair Shaun P. Patel, MD and Committee Member Nathaniel J. Nelms, MD had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas K. Fehring, MD about his study presented at the meeting and the genesis behind it “One-Stage vs. Two-Stage Treatment for Prosthetic Joint Infection: A Prospective, Randomized Trial.” Infection has always fascinated Dr. Fehring. That interest led him to understanding the purpose of why most standard treatments of care in the US are two-stage where one-stage is usually the preferrable treatment for Europeans. Understanding this is a very radical surgery, Dr. Fehring was completely surprised at what he uncovered. I think you’ll be just as surprised, listen and learn which had better results – one-stage or two-stage. Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified ! In This Episode: Thomas K.
