You know that feeling when a case just hits… and suddenly you’re thinking about it all the time? Yeah—this episode is about those procedures 😅

In this episode of Joint Effort PAs, Beth and Hannah dive into their current ortho crushes—the procedures they’ve been working on with their surgeons that have them fully invested, slightly obsessed, and maybe talking about them a little too much outside of work 👀

From innovative techniques to evolving technology, we break down what makes these procedures so exciting right now:
🦵 MISHA (yes, we’re still thinking about it)
👍 Biopro thumb CMC implant (we’re definitely thinking about it)

We talk through what these procedures are, why they’re gaining traction, what makes them different, and why they’ve completely captured our attention as PAs in ortho.

Because let’s be honest—some cases aren’t just cases… they’re full-on crushes 💅

🎧 Whether you’re in ortho or just love hearing the passion behind what we do, this one’s for you

March is Athletic Training Month, and we’re highlighting one of the most essential—and often underrecognized—members of the orthopedic care team: the certified athletic trainer (ATC).

In this episode, we sit down with an ATC to break down their role across settings—from sidelines to clinic settings. We discuss injury evaluation, acute management, rehabilitation, and how ATCs work alongside PAs and surgeons to optimize patient outcomes.

We also explore career pathways, challenges within the profession, and how athletic trainers continue to evolve within modern healthcare systems.

If you’ve ever wondered what ATCs really do (beyond tape and ice), this episode is for you.
