Can you answer our free question of the day? A 54-year-old Bavarian baker presents to your clinic 5 years after undergoing a Radio-Scapho-Lunate (RSL) fusion for post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the wrist. He has persistent pain and significantly decreased range of motion about the wrist, particularly after a long day in the bakery or when applying his lederhosen. On exam, he has noticeably weaker grip strength and poor motion, particularly in radial deviation, compared to his contralateral wrist. A current radiograph of the affected wrist is seen in Figure A. What additional surgical step, performed at the time of the index RSL fusion, may have prevented this outcome? 1. Excision of the distal pole of the scaphoid 2. Excision of the proximal pole of the scaphoid 3. Excision of the proximal pole of the capitate 4. Excision of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum 5. No additional surgical adjuvant may have prevented this complication QID: 211941 Comment your answer below, then check to see if you got it correct by clicking the link below to see the answer & explanation. bit.ly/4tEWooC #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopaedics #orthopaedic #orthopedic #ortholife #orthobullets #orthoresidents #orthoresident #orthoresidency #medicalschool #medicalstudent #medstudent #doctor

Can you answer our free question of the day? Figures A and B are the radiographs of a 58-year-old female who sustained a ground-level fall. The decision is made to proceed with operative stabilization of the distal radius. Which of the following findings would indicate the need for distal ulna fixation? 1. Degree of angulation of the distal ulna fracture 2. Degree of comminution of the distal ulna fracture 3. Location of the distal ulna fracture 4. Size of the distal ulna fracture 5. Intraoperative distal radial ulnar joint instability QID: 212051 Comment your answer below, then check to see if you got it correct by clicking the link below to see the answer & explanation. bit.ly/4tGzMEx #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopaedics #orthopaedic #orthopedic #ortholife #orthobullets #orthoresidents #orthoresident #orthoresidency #medicalschool #medicalstudent #medstudent #doctor

If you choose ORIF as definitive management, would you temporize the patient?

Can you answer our free question of the day? A 45 year old dairy farmer from rural Michigan returns to a local hand surgeon with wrist pain, loss of motion, and loss of strength despite previously receiving an injection for this condition. His radiographs are shown in Figure 1. Surgical options are discussed with the farmer. Degeneration of which joint is a contraindication to a proximal row carpectomy? 1. Scaphoid - radial styloid 2. Scaphoid - radius 3. Scaphoid - capitate 4. Scaphoid - lunate 5. Capitate - lunate QID: 211886 Comment your answer below, then check to see if you got it correct by clicking the link below to see the answer & explanation. bit.ly/4cKaHRG #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopaedics #orthopaedic #orthopedic #ortholife #orthobullets #orthoresidents #orthoresident #orthoresidency #medicalschool #medicalstudent #medstudent #doctor

Can you answer our free question of the day? A 23-year-old male presents following a motorcycle collision with the injury shown in figure 1. In addition to orthogonal radiographs, which of the following studies is best to evaluate for an ipsilateral femoral neck fracture? 1. AP radiograph of the hip in external rotation 2.
