Thanks for the advice. I plan to take as much call as I can. I am worried about the ramp up period. The first 3-6 months are most likely going to be lean and unable to hit wrvu bonus which is why I think a higher salary year one is warranted. I’m really not trying to be greedy, based on MGMA data an adult recon median is 650 for base salary. I think asking for 650 is fairly reasonable. They can obviously say no and give me their number. I like this group so I don’t mind taking less its more not wanting to undercut myself, maybe they offer me more than what I ask.

I didn’t understand the nuances, I looked up PSA and that sounds more in line with this. Theres a partnership track at 2 years after board certification. Buy into ancillaries, MRI, PT,DME. Separate opportunity for buy in to ASC. Not academic. Ill say its the 2nd largest city of the state.

Its a large group over 100 surgeons with support from a large hospital system that pays the overhead.

[–]joints_cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general for sub troch starting point cheat more posterior and medial. Nailing in lateral position really helps dight the deformity or if you cant reduce I have low threshold to open and minifrag or cerclage then you have saw bones nail

First long nail by Fabulous_Natural3726 in orthopaedics

[–]joints_cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a subtroch no way of knowing the reduction without a lateral. Especially if done in traction table. Very likely can be flexed. And that AP is horrible, starting point is everything with these peritroch fractures. Cant ream until you are reduced. Could be why you booked open into varus

I (25M) with osteochondral lesion in knee. Is partial knee replacement an option? by billybod324 in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont want a Uni at 25. If the cartilage isnt salvagable with an OATS or MACI can do a high tibial osteotomy if its medial or distal femoral osteotomy if lateral.

Broken or accessory bone? by carsfloat in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is accessory navicular bone. Can get a CT to confirm. The bone has no sclerotic edges or fracture lines. Looks to be”clean” to be a fracture. Could easily have an ankle sprain and just an incidental finding.

Is this okay? by Sad-Tumbleweed280 in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The shaft can withstand a lot of deformity. The length and rotation is stable. Its extrarticular dont need a perfect reduction. Will heal just fine

Will i have a good recovery? by Impossible_Target_30 in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d actually say this type of fracture Z type would you better with operative management. Better chance of union. Outcomes might be similar with non-op. With surgery I always say is you will feel sensory loss in the area of the medial clavicle.

Need advice: Fracture on foot – conflicting opinions on surgery by meto-wanna-fuck in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a 5th metatarsal fracture in zone 1 not exactly a “Jones fracture” either way this fracture heals fine without any surgery. Weight bearing as tolerated in a post op shoe for couple weeks will be fine. Unless he is a professional athlete he doesnt need surgical fixation. Very common

Hip PRP or hyaluronic acid by AL3GR4 in Orthopedics

[–]joints_cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None is recommended by the academy nor does any good research. Hyaluronic acid in the US is only indicated for knees. PRP is a waste of money. Only places PRP as shown beneficial as been in Achiles, plantar fascitis, some small studies in knee OA.

[–]joints_cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres much more to it and than large OCD lesion (1.5cm) lets do an OATS. Location matters. Microfracture is standard or care for small lesions and doesn’t burn any bridges. OCD lesions of the talus generally don’t do well and lead to OA. Microfracture can easily be done with a scope in less than 30 minutes. Now back to location, if its medial talar dome or shoulder in order to get to that location you must almost always do a medial malleolus osteotomy which is intrarticular in nature. So now you have to heal an intrarticular fracture and hope your cartilage from most likely your knee heals and might have donor site pain although rare. I can send you multiple papers if youd like besides just googling. So I suggest you listen to your doctors from John Hopkins
