In this episode of HSS Presents, Dr. Peter Sculco is joined by his father, Dr. Thomas Sculco—a renowned expert in joint replacement and director of the Complex Joint Reconstruction Center at HSS—to discuss the evolving role of cones in revision knee arthroplasty. They review how bone loss was managed prior to the advent of cones, the resurgence of impaction grafting, and the shift from hybrid to fully cemented stems for improved outcomes. Dr. Thomas Sculco shares his philosophy on the appropriate use of cones, cautioning against overuse due to cost and potential for unnecessary bone removal. The conversation also addresses complex re-revision scenarios and challenges with cone fixation in sclerotic bone. Blending decades of surgical expertise with insights on innovation, cost-effectiveness, and patient-centered care, this episode offers a thoughtful look at current trends in revision arthroplasty.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
