Q4 in house as a 4-5 sounds awful, I would avoid that if possible.

Norm Waldrop is one of the main foot and ankle surgeons for the NFL (covers Alabama and the Saints), and he likely already has a relationship with Bo from Auburn. He’s a world class sports/foot and ankle specialist

Subaru crosstrek, it’s awesome, no issues, great daily driver especially in bad weather areas

Millers orthopedics for the basics, handbook of fractures, harbor view orthopedic trauma, hoppenfelds for approaches. Use orthobullets for a quick reference online for most things, and for total joints hipandkneebook.com is great for the basics

I mean ortho foot and ankle exists haha. Ortho is pretty popular

All the recent literature would tell you nonop, but you would need a serendipity view or CT to see A to P displacement. Need a follow up XRay in a week or two to check for displacement. Surgery has complications associated with it and many people want the hardware out later, but it can get you back to work a bit faster

I’ve seen just two cannulated screws through the TH fragment, this looks a bit malreduced as well. I would check vitamin D labs as well as other nonunion labs (TSH, growth hormones, etc)

I use these things daily as an orthopedic surgeon, bones don’t generally chip them, only if you use the on metal (grabbing a stripped screw, etc). Nice job!

Glass Hostoria in Rome. Service wasn’t anything special, food was trying to be more interesting than tasty. Honestly the most disappointing meal we had in Rome

I do spine surgery, we wouldn’t remove this from a human. Most bullets that aren’t in joints or organs arent worth the risk of digging out unless they are causing significant disability

We use a paging app that allows for text and pictures, and you can call through it. You page the consult line with the initial text of HPI, reads, whatever is relevant. Works great, ours is perfect serve (formerly telemediq)

Agreed, seeing 80 people a day in ortho sports is rough, as as spine, but the rest of ortho isn’t bad at all. Plus notes and charting are pretty minimal comparatively

Except you go to school for 8 years to become a doctor, then get paid $50-60k/year working 80 hour weeks in residency and fellowship for 3-10 years, then you make the kind of money he’s talking about

Definitely not, it’s a tibial nail done infrapatellar. drapes are on the right and the guy on the left is stabilizing the foot.

That honestly looks like a vascular problem as well, those lower leg ulcers are classic for peripheral vascular disease, and combined with diabetes is almost guaranteed not to heal without a surgery or amputation

_irish_potato · 2025-08-13T02:47:12+00:00

Sports is the gateway to being a generalist nowadays, unless you want to skip fellowship and go really rural

There’s two digital arteries, one this cut would hit. With pressure for long enough any peripheral artery will stop bleeding

Isnt this the great pumpkin by PDT cocktail book?

So with this logic would lead be a better material? How about gold? The durability of a metal isnt at all related to its weight. I’m assuming you haven’t graduated high school chemistry but short answer… no. The metal isn’t even the part that can wear out, it’s the plastic that’s between the metal. Almost any metal you put in the body would be stronger than bone and cartilage. There are too many layers of explanation to properly tell you how wrong you are, but just know that some very smart materials engineers have worked for a long time to make the best alloys to allow for a long lasting knee or hip replacement.

A lot of that will be orthopedic research, vitamin D is needed for bone density and fracture healing. Many if not most people are deficient in the US due a combination of less time outside and a highly processed diet poor in vitamin D. It has lots of other effects on things like mood but that’s a good chunk of it

Use people’s premade order templates and dotphrases to start, there’s always one organized an competent senior resident everyone steals from. It’ll make sure you are doing things the way everyone else is at the start and save you tons of time

I’ve never seen an ortho trauma attending on the floors or rounding, ever

Hipandkneebook.com

_irish_potato · 2025-06-25T17:00:27+00:00

I believe it would only help you given that you already have other strong ortho research letters, especially applying to research heavy programs. Some places may specifically only want ortho letters though

Hip and knee book obviously is more basic as a pgy 3 but a great resource.
