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: https://t.co/WEvp9ORG8s

I don’t make any $ from this, but if I had a million I’d buy every female ortho resident& attending this. We have high breast cancer rates, mostly due to incomplete outer quadrant/axilla coverage. Get measured; may need bigger size to go over existing lead

A sampling of interesting posters from my perusal yesterday. I’ll try the plateau technique my next case. #OTA2025

Work then play! #OTA2025

A view from the podium, session moderation, a new colleague from Spain, and Dr Jones presenting at the COTA luncheon. #OTA2025 #ADITL

Our reception at #OTA2025 was a blast with a great turnout and excellent food. This guy (appropriately named Little Bit) didn’t have a badge, but got in anyway. :) 🫏

Two RCTs from today’s sessions I enjoyed: tobramycin powder doesn’t improve infection rates when added to vanco and can make things worse (MTRC Tobra study); & immediate weightbearing of ankle fx at 2 wks is ok (syndesmosis excluded) (Dr Obremskey). Publications incoming #OTA2025

A busy morning here at #OTA2025. President Doug Lundy delivering opening remarks, a speaker ready room with a view, the opening of the Exhibit Hall (more to come on that!), and one of our committees hard at work on improving the future of our profession.

Good morning from Phoenix! Getting a machine at the gym is always tricky at ortho conferences— everyone is up and getting after it.💪🏻🏋🏻 #OTA2025

Dinner event selections are crucial for any OTA meeting attendee, and Phoenix does not disappoint. Enjoying bone marrow 🦴and a cocktail called “I love you, but I love me more” (a nod to Samantha, for my SATC ladies) at the Wren & Wolf. #OTA2025 🍹@otatrauma

Kicking off the ⁦@otatrauma⁩ #OTA2025 meeting with the lovely Sherrie and Valeria who are ready to welcome you to Phoenix! #ADITL

Very excited to partner with @otatrauma to show you the #OTA2025 Annual Meeting through my eyes. 👀 See you soon!

Dr. Rockwood’s former residents sharing memories of him. It will be a long time from now I hope, but someday I will be doing the same for my own mentors… That makes me a little sad, because to the world they will be names, but to me they were people.

A legend. Rest in peace.

Excellent podcast from ⁦@otatrauma⁩ about TTC nails. My indications are still evolving due to a high personal historical complication rate. Granted these are high risk pts. Nowadays, depending on pt, I sometimes do perc screws and support with frame.

A vacation that was too short. Got up early for one last swim before having to say goodbye to my “home away from home.” It was so calm I saw a manta ray in the shallows. Until next time 🐠☀️🏝️

Great talk by Mike McKee, including the (for me) practice changing PHARON paper. Common Problems with Proximal Humerus Fractures | VuMedi https://t.co/dhn83osOGE via @vumedi

Good luck! See you there! :)

Was a fun chat.

Oh…
