Rosemont, Ill., Mar 18: The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) is reinforcing its commitment to injury prevention and patient education this March by spotlighting OrthoInfo.org, alongside the launch of the new OrthoInfo Podcast, a monthly series designed to connect patients directly with orthopaedic experts.
Developed and reviewed by board-certified orthopaedic surgeons, OrthoInfo.org provides reliable, easy-to-understand information on musculoskeletal conditions, injury prevention, and treatment options. The platform aims to empower patients with the knowledge needed to better understand their health and engage in informed discussions with their healthcare providers.
“Patients are often searching online for answers about pain, injuries, or treatment options, and it’s important that the information they find is accurate and easy to understand,” said Shariff K. Bishai, DO, FAAOS, and featured guest on the first episode of the podcast. “OrthoInfo was created by orthopaedic surgeons to give patients a trusted place to learn about their bone and joint health and feel more confident when discussing care with their doctor.”
Expanding Access Through Audio Learning
The newly launched OrthoInfo Podcast extends these educational efforts by offering expert-led discussions on common patient concerns. Each episode features orthopaedic surgeons addressing key topics, including:
-
When to consult an orthopaedic specialist
-
What to expect from procedures such as hip replacement surgery
-
How life stages, including menopause, impact bone and joint health
The podcast is designed to make complex medical information more accessible, helping listeners gain a deeper understanding of their musculoskeletal health.

-
Sports and recreational injury prevention
