One of the most meaningful parts of this Birmingham issue of Inside Medicine is the collaboration between physicians—showing how different specialties are seeing the same problem from different angles.
This is exactly what real, connected care looks like.
Inside the OR: Precision in Motion with Dr. S. Evan Carstensen A powerful look inside modern orthopedic surgery—where advanced techniques and performance-driven care are helping patients recover faster and return to the life they love.
The Spine at Risk: A Sedentary Generation’s Wake-Up Call Dr. Capel brings attention to how modern lifestyles—prolonged sitting, screen time, and lack of movement—are accelerating spinal degeneration earlier than ever before.
The Other End of the Problem(How Modern Habits Are Accelerating Hand and Wrist Injuries in Younger Patients) Building directly on that conversation, Dr. Rogers shows how those same behaviors are now impacting the hand and wrist—leading to earlier arthritis, nerve compression, and overuse injuries in younger populations .
