Ethical Considerations of Declining Surgical Intervention in Orthopedics (with Claudette Lajam, MD)
In this episode, we delve into the topic of ethical considerations in orthopedic surgery. Departing from our usual focus on surgical techniques and physical therapy, we explore the delicate balance between patient autonomy and fiduciary responsibility.
The episode features a special guest, Dr. Claudette Lajam from NYU, a distinguished joint replacement surgeon and professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU School of Medicine. Dr. Lajam shares her insights from a recent article in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, discussing ethical challenges such as declining surgical interventions for high-risk patients and the importance of informed consent.
Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on medical ethics, including beneficence, nonmaleficence, patient autonomy, and justice. The conversation also covers practical aspects like the role of risk calculators, the impact of obesity on joint replacement outcomes, and the importance of communication in patient care.
Join us for an engaging and educational discussion that sheds light on the ethical dimensions of orthopedic practice, offering valuable takeaways for both medical professionals and patients.
