About the show

Presented by The Hip Society and The Knee Society, SHAK Chats brings listeners into candid conversations with the legends, leaders, and innovators who have shaped the field of hip and knee arthroplasty.

Guests share personal stories and perspectives that often go beyond what audiences hear from the podium or read in the literature. Through engaging, informal conversations, SHAK Chats preserves the stories and wisdom of arthroplasty’s most influential voices while offering inspiration and insight to the next generation of surgeons. Come for the orthopaedics. Stay for the stories. For more high quality content, visit The Learning SHAK.
