In , Lawlor et al. found that lumbar interventions performed in the private sector were more likely to involve fusion-based procedures, even for conditions like disc herniation, radiculopathy, and lumbar stenosis.

"We believe that the increased preference for fusion may be driven by advancements in fusion-based technology that increase procedural efficiency," the authors write.

"These findings challenge prevailing practices and raise questions about the criteria for this surgical approach," writes Jiayong Liu MD in a commentary. "This study calls for surgeons and healthcare providers to reassess surgical protocols and prioritize patient-centered care, which may lead to better resource management."

📢 Free to read through Oct. 18: "The 'weekend effect' refers to the persistent finding that patients who are hospitalized or undergo surgical procedures on Fridays or over the weekend are more likely to experience complications, readmissions, and poorer health outcomes," writes Dr. James Rickert in the latest column. "(And) elective orthopaedic procedures appear to be particularly vulnerable (to this effect)."

"Layers of understanding—like pencils and prostheses—take shape over time," writes Dr. Joe Bernstein in his latest column. "How do young surgeons understand their place in a profession where excellence emerges from interdependence?"

See how Drs. Carl Deirmengian and Thomas Sculco respond to this question—and enjoy Dr. Bernstein's autobiography of a knee replacement, "I, Prosthesis"—in this month's .

In , Gharanizadeh et al. found that patients who received aspirin while undergoing THA for high-riding developmental DDH had a higher likelihood of experiencing symptomatic VTE compared with other patients, and this risk increased with greater intraoperative limb lengthening.

"These results are significant as they suggest that low-dose aspirin may be insufficient for VTE prophylaxis in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of high-riding DDH, and they highlight the role of the underlying indication for THA in the risk of VTE development," the authors write.

"In my opinion, the mere switch to more-potent anticoagulants might increase the risk of hemorrhagic complications, and potentially even more serious complications," writes Rocco P. Pitto MD, PhD, FRACS in a commentary. "I anticipate that a multimodal approach will result in a lower risk of VTE."

Two years after surgery, Vermue et al. found no meaningful differences in patient-reported outcomes, alignment, or soft tissue tension between patients who received robot-assisted TKA with a standardized laxity assessment and those who received conventional TKA.

"Based on (these findings), we recommend against the routine use of robotic TKA with objectified laxity assessment because it adds costs and time to these procedures without delivering benefits that patients might perceive," the authors write.

"I believe that robotics and navigation are here to stay," writes John Bartoletta MD in a commentary. "Determining where, in whom, and how they should best be utilized should remain our goals."

📢 Free to read through Oct. 11: In , Motter et al. found that while the rate of TJA decreased for patients receiving dialysis and increased for transplant recipients from 2008-2018, these changes were not due to the implementation of new bundled payment policies.

"Our motivation for the study was based on concern that patients who had received a kidney transplant would have decreased access because of their increased complexity," the authors write. "Instead, (our findings) suggest surgeons recognize that while these patients are medically complex, their kidney transplant decreases their risk of complication, and they are therefore indicated for TJA despite higher costs to a bundle."

"Although (this study) demonstrated that individuals undergoing TJA and receiving kidney replacement therapy were not affected by the changing reimbursement models, the reality is that for many other people with acute and chronic health conditions, the access to care is often limited," writes Paul Levin MD in a commentary. "Physicians, as individuals... should be at the forefront in lobbying and demanding the resources necessary to care for everyone, irrespective of their personal health issues and challenges, backgrounds, and ability to pay."

📢 Free to read all month: In the October 2025 issue, Seth Leopold MD interviews the senior author of this month's featured article, Randall Marcus MD.

"The topic is robotic-assisted joint replacement, but of course the larger issue—which will make what follows relevant to all surgeons, not just arthroplasty subspecialists—is how, when, and why we integrate new technology and tools into our practices," writes Dr. Leopold.

"... As surgeons who wish to improve TKA in ways that matter to patients, our decisions must be based on data and not industry marketing," writes Dr. Marcus. "Without strong evidence that expensive new innovations improve patient outcomes and safety, those innovations only add additional, unnecessary expense to the spiraling cost of healthcare for our patients."

📢 Free to read all month: In the first half of 2025, received more letters to the editor than any other year. "This should have been a boon to celebrate," write Samantha L. Smith & Seth S. Leopold in an editorial, but "instead, it's a bane: Analyses we performed on those letters found that about half of them were likely written by AI–based LLMs, like ChatGPT."
