Hormesis occurs when a moderate stress level induces a beneficial adaptive response, protecting organisms against subsequent exposure to severe stress.

These align seamlessly with epigenetics discussions in pain, a clinical approach to pain management that prioritizes tailoring healthcare to individual needs, preferences, and circumstances. Recognizing the unique genetic and epigenetic factors influencing pain perception, healthcare providers can integrate personalized insights into their patient-centered approach, offering more targeted and effective pain management strategies tailored to each individual's experience. Custom 3D-printing technologies may also become increasingly relevant to more effectively and reliably treat painful degenerative structural abnormalities. They are expected to go hand-in-hand with the precision medicine redefinition of musculoskeletal care. More effective analysis of surgeons' clinical decision-making and patients' perception of high-value orthopaedic care is needed. Shared Decision Making (SDM) is critical to identifying the best solution for each patient and improving stakeholders' understanding of factors influencing the diverse prioritizing values of surgical or non-surgical treatments by payers, systems, and other providers. Identifying high-value orthopaedic surgeries via effective SDM in orthopedic surgery requires more than just presenting patients with information. The Rasch analysis of patient expectations can provide this nuanced approach that involves understanding patient values, addressing misconceptions, and aligning surgical recommendations with patient-specific goals.
