This paper from @MayoAZOrtho examined the effect of patellar management during TKA on postoperative patellar position. @CollinBraithw8 @Jackhaglin @Tarheel1991 @CamLedfordMD @KevinWeiszMD arthroplastytoday.org/article/S2352-…

Rising MS3/4’s I personally think one of the most important aspects of your ERAS app will be your LOR’s. Try to identify now potential letter writers and spend some time in OR or clinic developing those relationships! #orthomatch #match2025

Looks like match came before baby… Couldn’t be more ecstatic to become apart of @MayoAZOrtho family!

CONGRATULATIONS to our three superstar match class! We are so excited to have you join the best specialty and welcome you to our family #match2024 🦴!!!

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I found out I matched here… Congratulations to the newest class of @MayoAzOrtho! The future is bright!!! @MayoClinicAZMFA @MayoClinic @MayoMedEd

@CapotostoS 💯💯❤️❤️ Congratulations brotha:) nobody more deserving!

One of the best Monday of my life. Came to the USA as an immigrant 8 years ago, barely speaking English, and without means to afford expensive colleges. Today I can say I will become an orthopedic surgeon. Dreams come true. ❤️🦴🎉 #Match2024 #Ortho #Orthomatch

^Staff will super appreciate coming back to clean -I would always get to OR early and text the resident once the patient got to the room. These are small but helpful things you can do! Feel free to reach out with any questions! #orthomatch

Tips for Surg away rotations -You'll figure out the general flow and expectations but if you can help transport patient back to PACU this allows the resident to go get orders in without having to wait around in the OR. -Go back and help staff with room turnover #orthotwitter

Also great distract way to distract from March 15th 🙈

About 1/3 of my way through this book and can barely put it down! Incredible content and highly recommend to anyone @PeterAttiaMD

@NoahEmbrydoc Good luck brotha! Excited to see where you end up!

@mattyfred_ Totally agree! If your school/schedule permits.

@CollinBraithw8 3/4 is good but do 4 if you can

For M3's applying to orthopedic aways right now. -In my class we had around 8 apply this cycle. I think everyone but one did 3 away rotations. -Obviously there are a number of factors in choosing how many away rotations you are able to do. -Most students I met did 3 or 4.

If anyone has any questions feel free to reach out at any time!

For 3 away rotations I personally applied on VSLO to 5 programs. Most institutions have differing deadlines so you can modify as you go.
