From Skeptic to Believer: Dr. Jonathan Yerasimides' Journey with OrthoGrid Technology

This clip is part of a broader discussion on technology adoption among four Anterior Hip Foundation Board members.
In this insightful discussion, Dr. Jonathan Yerasimides, AHF Board member and highly experienced hip arthroplasty expert, shares his journey from skepticism to full endorsement of OrthoGrid's HipAI overlay technology. Initially an early adopter of technology, Jonathan hit a period of stagnation, comfortable with traditional methods that worked well for him, such as using overlays for control in surgery. Despite his reservations about new technologies, his perspective shifted over the past year as he began to integrate OrthoGrid technology into his practice.
Jonathan highlights the accuracy and time-saving benefits of OrthoGrid, which eliminates the need for manual adjustments and printouts, streamlining his surgical procedures. His initial skepticism, and his perception of new tech as "Hocus Pocus," gradually transformed as he rigorously tested OrthoGrid against his conventional methods. After conducting a substantial number of surgeries to compare results, he gained full confidence in the technology's reliability.
Furthermore, Jonathan discusses his cautious approach towards adopting other new technologies, such as automated broaching. He emphasizes a methodical, trial-based approach to integration, allowing him to thoroughly evaluate each new technology's effectiveness before fully embracing it.
This narrative not only sheds light on Dr. Yerasimides' personal evolution with OrthoGrid technology but also serves as a broader testament to the potential of AI and innovative tools in enhancing surgical precision and efficiency in orthopedic surgery.
