Dr. Andrew Schneider joins The Joint Replacement Podcast to discuss what it is really like to build a career as a young academic arthroplasty surgeon.
We talk about why he chose academics, transitioning from fellowship to attending life, building a referral base, balancing clinical volume with research and teaching, working with residents and fellows as a young attending, finding mentors, developing meaningful industry collaborations, and deciding which opportunities are actually worth pursuing early in a surgical career.
Dr. Schneider also shares his clinical philosophy on robotic-assisted joint replacement, why he combines robotics with kinematic alignment in total knee replacement, how he thinks about accuracy and precision in the current robotics debate, and why he believes partial knee replacement remains underutilized in appropriately selected patients.
We finish with anterior versus posterior hip replacement, the future of robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, big data, and a potential future where personalized surgical planning is informed by the outcomes of thousands of patients with similar anatomy and clinical characteristics.
An especially valuable conversation for orthopedic residents, adult reconstruction fellows, junior faculty, and surgeons interested in robotics and the future of arthroplasty.
