Dr. Harms and Dr. Pinski are joining a nearly 100 physician strong practice, which is now the largest orthopedic practice in Georgia. Resurgen’s physicians provide patient care at 24 locations across Georgia. Recently, it joined United Musculoskeletal Partners, a physician-owned orthopedic platform, as a founding partner.
Dr. Pinski specializes in reconstructive surgery of the hip and knee, anterior approach hip replacement, outpatient hip and knee replacement, and minimally invasive procedures. His hospital affiliation is WellStar Kennestone Hospital and he will treat patients in the following Georgia locations: Marietta, Acworth, Kennesaw, and Woodstock.
Dr. Pinski is a graduate of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, New York. His training included a residency at Tufts-affiliated hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts, and a fellowship in adult joint reconstruction at Charlotte, North Carolina-based OrthoCarolina. Dr. Pinski is “affiliated with the Medical Association of Georgia, the American Academy of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and the New England Orthopedic Society.” He is also board eligible with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
OTW was able to speak with both surgeons about what they are most looking forward to in joining the Resurgens team. Dr. Pinski told OTW, “I’m really looking forward to being part of the Resurgens family. It was clear from the start that everyone at Resurgens cares immensely about their patients and their community.”
Dr. Pinski continued, “These values initially drew me in and they were readily apparent when I started last week. The support from the entire Resurgens team has been tremendous. I could not have asked for a better place to start practice.”
Dr. Harms specializes in complete adult spine surgery, reconstructive spine surgery, artificial disc replacement, kyphoplasty, and fracture care. He will treat patients from the Johns Creek location and his hospital affiliation is Emory Johns Creek.
Dr. Harms is a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia, where he also completed his residency. His training also included a fellowship in spine surgery at West Virginia University. Dr. Harms is “affiliated with the Medical Association of Georgia and the North American Spine Society” and is board certified with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
When asked what he was looking forward to, Dr. Harms said, “Growing up in Atlanta, Resurgens was always synonymous with the city’s highest level of orthopaedic care.”
Dr. Harms continued, “I’m honored and privileged to be joining Resurgens and continuing that tradition. In joining this practice, I’m most looking forward to taking care of my patients with the same level of dedication, knowledge, and empathy that made Resurgens my family’s only call for orthopaedics.”

Discussion
This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
