It's time to unveil one of my labors of ❤️! Astrid is my world. I want her to live forever, even in the hearts of those who never met her. Perhaps this book will inspire you to adopt a rescue pet. Perhaps you just like bones. Or dogs. Or both!.Buy here:

Was a fun chat.
The third and final episode in the ABOS Podcast Miniseries on Examination Development has been posted. Dr. Yelena Bogdan explains what an Examination Blueprint is and the steps that are taken to make sure it reflects what orthopaedic surgeons should know.

165 projected publications by 2040… while this likely won’t happen, the trends aren’t sustainable. 😬😬💀 We need to stop this ridiculous rat race….

To all @AAOS1 members: vote yes & tell everyone you know to vote yes on new bylaws. Changes focus on active surgeons &help future nominating committees choose for needed skill sets &representation along w/limiting any single person’s power. Cheat sheet:.

Definitely interesting. I treat most of mine nonop as well, but this continues to be an area of huge controversy. Locking Plate for Proximal Humerus Fractures: Why Do We Continue to Perform a Low-Value Procedure?

A great time at @AAOS1 hq in Rosemont creating the OITE exam with the subject matter experts of the EAEC committee, and the hardworking AAOS staff. The exam just gets better & more refined each year. Stay tuned for video insights from committee members… #oite #orthoresidents 🤓

Okay ortho friends, time for me to learn. Those of you who treat kids/teens for sports/peds/trauma, what is your stance on DVT prophylaxis? Specifically bilateral lower extremity polytrauma. Weight based or age based? I looked on pubmed and guidelines and got no clear answer.

Really good talk from Mike McKee on proximal humerus. One excerpt I want to point out is "potting" of shaft into proximal humerus if you have gap in calcar - it is important to do this symmetrically & not into varus. Or can bone graft but potting easier.

I’ve done this many times in the OR. If I have a bad gut feeling about a case, regardless of what “the chart” says, i am canceling. That voice has never steered me wrong, and whenever I’ve not listened to it in the past, I’ve had problems.
Having safe air travel depends heavily on having this type of guy in the captain’s chair

I was not at @AAOS1 this year but i want to share my mentor and friend Paul’s presidential address. It’s important for every orthopaedic surgeon to listen to. Gratitude is not something that is on our minds every day, but it should be.

Happy International Women’s Day! It’s a huge holiday in my culture, like Mother’s Day. So here’s to all the women surgeons & other medical professionals and the mamas/wives/significant others of my fellow surgeons, and all other successful & beautiful ladies all over the world.💐

I got a sweet card from a patient 💜 it isn’t necessary but it means so much when people do this for us. (Before anyone asks yes the long NWB period was necessary for that injury, I’m usually more aggressive with my LE weightbearing protocol, I usually WB at 6 weeks or earlier)

Great talk by @jaimelbellamyDO I myself I’m an extreme nailer and fixer, but I think most importantly your choice of implant depends on biomechanics of failure- so if you think it will fail in varus you need medial support, etc. via @vumedi.

It’s interesting to have reached the point when a residency applicant’s letter writer is somebody I mentored.
