    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: amazon.com/Human-Likes-Bo…

    Not exactly my usual “technical trick,” but if you have long hair and haven’t seen this already... you can turn any hospital glove into an emergency hair tie. Learned this in residency and definitely still use it. (And yes, you can tear the glove instead of cutting it, haha)

    I get questions about “pie-crusting”/fenestration technique for fasciotomy wound closure, and how it heals. Here it is, 8 months later. Pie crust scars heal very well from the inside out... you can barely see them now (the little white lines).

    Every year my hospital has a Christmas show. This year I did “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” 😊🎄

    From early on, I printed & saved every case I did in training. This creature (The Binder) grew to monstrous proportions. In it are fluoros,templates,drawings, & technique notes. I still add to it occasionally. In digital age, would still recommend this exercise to every resident.

    Normally I’d say happy Sunday but I’m admitted for presumed sepsis from the gastroenteritis I had. Fortunately feeling better with fluids and antibiotics so I think it’s still considered a happy Sunday. We will resume regularly scheduled Twitter programming on Monday hopefully.😘

    Based on a recent discussion about how we don’t get formal lectures on stuff we use in the OR, I made this PowerPoint for medical students to learn about basic instruments of ortho trauma. Please share with anyone who you think might benefit!

    This month’s JAAOS: the “pooping duck sign” of a triquetrum fracture. Treated nonoperatively in vast majority of cases. And now you’ll never look at it the same way again. :)

    Last time I missed the OTA it was because I was working on an important project (my son’s birth)… well this time I have to miss it again for a followup study. Welcome Ellie, 🌸 I am so glad you’re here.

    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.
