Our first viral video was about shaving a 5th metatarsal head callus. It has around 6M views across all platforms. We HAD to do a deep dive on the subject! Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=bKQVxR…

@candace_lo70387 Ouch! How is everything now 6 months after your injury? Did you need surgery?

My current state of affairs. I fell last night and broke my ankle. Believe me it was not fun!!😬

@ArthrexMedEd Beautiful repair!!

Case Review: Ankle Fracture, InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair, and Syndesmosis TightRope® XP Implant System A 22-year-old male sustained an isolated rotation ankle injury while playing football. The mechanism of injury was a direct lateral force by another player, followed by external rotation. X-rays showed a proximal Weber C oblique fibular fracture with widening of the tibiotalar clear space and medial clear space. Surgical Technique Establish standard anterior medial and anterolateral portals. Introduce the NanoScope™ through the anteromedial portal. Debride the acute synovitis and hemorrhagic plug as well as the syndesmosis. Direct lateral approach — Apply a fibular ORIF using a long 1⁄3 tubular plate in a posterolateral fashion. Clamp the plate to the bone and use as a reduction tool, which is useful with more proximal short oblique fibular fractures. Inspect and debride the syndesmosis and reduce manually with temporary K-wire fixation. Debridement is critical to ensure no soft tissue or bone will impede the fibula from falling back into the tibial incisura. Multiligament stabilization of the syndesmosis 1. Secure the InternalBrace ligament augmentation repair into the distal fibula in an anterior-to-posterior fashion using a 3.5 mm SwiveLock® anchor. 2. Prep the anterolateral tibia for the 4.75 mm SwiveLock anchor using a 3.4 mm drill and 4.75 mm tap. Leave the tap in the tibia until the TightRope implants are placed to avoid drilling into the anchor. 3. Insert 2 Syndesmosis TightRope XP implants through the end of the ⅓ tubular plate. 4. Insert the SutureTape into the anterolateral tibia using a 4.75 mm SwiveLock anchor to close down the anterior syndesmosis. Courtesy of Spencer Monaco, DPM Learn more: arthrex.info/4bAa10C

@scientissimum Awesome work! So satisfying!

Good morning dear ladies & gentlemen of #medtwitter! Today #scientissimum would like to show you an #orthopedic #trauma case of ankle dislocation. While dealing with any dislocation, the one must rule-out neurovascular compromise and conversions to open fracture.🦶🏽 . #Mondayvibes
