With football preseason underway, you may be hearing more about syndesmotic injuries, often called "high ankle sprains." What is a high ankle sprain and how do foot & ankle orthopaedic surgeons treat them? Learn more on #FootCareMD: https://t.co/7BIhHK59CE

Our study demonstrates you can achieve equivalent pain control following ACL reconstruction without using opioids. Check it out!
Multimodal nonopioid pain protocol provides equivalent pain control after ACL surgery compared with a traditional opioid pain management protocol with high patient satisfaction. Learn more https://t.co/fbglupYeB9

Another well written article by @prem_ramkumar tackling a major issue in orthopaedic surgery today. Unbelievable to see the graph displaying how far reimbursement has dropped for TJA while safety + success of the surgery has gone up and CMS has saved money.

Further evidence supporting Exercise and Running is safe and possibly even helpful for articular cartilage health.
Exercise therapy is not harmful for knee joint cartilage; https://t.co/pWfZcnA9fv,
https://t.co/lmisw4cjnw.
https://t.co/eSHDclCOzU has expanded our knowledge to include that running is also safe for cartilage. Time to update the infographic @a_bricca @DrChrisBarton @JFEsculier ?

It is vital to not miss these loose bodies, identity other ligamentous injuries (ie Deltoid tears) and document and possibly address the acute osteochondral injury at the time of the ankle fracture fixation. #anklearthroscopy #savetheankle #anklefracture #MASTAF #ICCRA

Thank you for this excellent, well done study. This adds to the growing body of literature as to the importance of ankle arthroscopy in the setting of ankle fractures. Intra-articular pathology is often missed on pre op xrays or MRI that is often found on arthroscopy. 1/
A high incidence (50%) of intra-articular chondral pathologies was detected during arthroscopy in patients with an acute, isolated syndesmotic instability. #ankleinjury #anklearthroscopy #arthroscopy #sportsmedicine #syndesmodicinjury #anklesprain
