In the second part of a podcast on recent ACR guidelines for the management of gout, Dr. Smith reviews the efficacy, dosing considerations, indications and contraindications for a variety of therapies ranging from colchicine and allopurinol to febuxostat and pegloticase.
Discussing the emergence and array of potential benefits with remote patient monitoring devices, Dr. Cole offers practical insights on how to assess different technologies and ensure the most optimal fit for your patients and your practice.
In the third of a series of podcasts on total ankle replacement (TAR), Drs. McAlister and Miller discuss the use of new negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) technology to help manage anterior ankle incisions for TAR, the merits of post-TAR procedures such as tendo-Achilles lengthening and gastrocnemius recession, and the importance of post-op rehabilitation protocols.

McAlister and Miller discuss key factors that affect their decision-making on candidates, including activity level, patient expectations, changing perceptions about age and BMI, previous surgeries and relevant imaging findings.
Recent estimates suggest that 40 to 65 percent of acute bacterial infections can be traced back to biofilms. Accordingly, Dr. Cole discusses the use of emerging imaging modalities and notes that adjunctive therapies that can target and disrupt biofilms may provide a viable complement to thorough debridement.
Given that gout reportedly affects approximately 9.2 million people in the United States, Dr. Smith reviews key recommendations from the recently published American College of Rheumatology guidelines for the management of gout and offers pertinent insights on the use of urate-lowering treatment modalities.
Given the serious consequences of undetected melanoma, Dr. Vlahovic reviews common diagnostic mnemonics and other key clinical signs for differentiating melanomas from other lesions, and facilitating a timely, accurate diagnosis.
Sharing insights from her experience and findings from recent studies, Dr. Cole discusses the potential of portable point-of-care wound imaging devices that may provide clinicians with a closer look at tissue oxygenation, microvasculature, tissue health and the wound microbiome.
In a new podcast, Drs. McAlister and DiDomenico discuss the preoperative workup, fixation preferences and post-op principles with acute deltoid ligament injuries. They also share intra-operative pearls from their experience in navigating the complexities of chronic injuries involving the deltoid ligament.
