In this episode, the hosts reflect on the persistent gap between high-quality evidence and real-world orthopedic practice, using ACL reconstruction as a case study. They highlight new JBJS initiatives to preserve oral histories and discuss Kaiser Permanente data showing a dramatic decline in allograft use in young patients once evidence was actively disseminated. Rapid analytics from OE MIND demonstrate that randomized data have long favored autograft, raising questions about why practice change lags. The conversation emphasizes the need for faster, clearer knowledge translation—leveraging meetings, social media, and peer influence—to ensure evidence meaningfully shapes care.
