Good surgeons know how to operate, better surgeons know when to operate, and the best surgeons know when not to operate #orthotwitter #facts

@Aliyahnmed @drericksonspine Congratulations!!

Beyond excited to share I matched at UCLA for orthopaedic surgery!! I’m so grateful to my mentors for helping me navigate this path and to my family for being my inspiration. #match2026

@DrMuyiwaWinnie @rushumedcollege Congratulations!

In the last month, two of my biggest dreams have come true. This mama is going to become a CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON! I’m so grateful to God, my amazing friends and family, my mentors, @rushumedcollege and my new home UC Davis! #match2026 #ctsurgery

@ImprezowyKotek @Davembmd @orthobullets @orthotraumamd @traumaticum Would have been THA for me

69 yo M, implant failure + nonunion 6m after CRIF. Now hardware removal, CRIF with DHS, augmented with tricortical graft from iliac crest. May heal or should I go with THA? @orthobullets @orthotraumamd @traumaticum #operativeINK #orthotwitter

@Nadia_Hackett @drericksonspine Congratulations!

#Matchday2026 THANK YOU GOD! My biggest dream has come true!🤎 I’m going to be an Orthopedic Surgeon! #orthopedicsurgery #orthomatch

@__DestinyGreen Congratulations!

I can’t stop crying!! God has never failed me 🙌🏾 I’m going to be a NEUROSURGEON!! 🤍🙏🏾 #Match2026

@sportsdoc2016 @InvictaOrtho @orthotraumamd @generalorthomd Would fix

Healthy 56 yo ski injury. Anyone fixing this? I’m thinking total hip. @InvictaOrtho @orthotraumamd @generalorthomd ##orthotwitter

100%

After three decades as a knee surgeon, I can say this with confidence…. many people are far more limited by the story their MRI report tells them than by the condition of their meniscus or articulation cartilage.

@shah_punwar Strong work!

Screws removed from the plate and then antegrade nail. Decided to protect whole bone. Bit more hold in the proximal plate or exchanging it for a longer one perhaps desirable, but we got there. Patient did very well.

@shah_punwar Retrograde nail vs retrograde nail-plate combo

Plate could certainly have been longer and the inevitable happened only 8 weeks after fixation. No signs of infection. Options? Fairly fit elderly female patient. 😳 #stressriser #distalfemurfracture

@shah_punwar RP poly spin out. The distal femur deformity could have contributed to TKA laxity.

A couple of years later, knee not looking happy 😳 #periprostheticfracture

@shah_punwar Wrong type of retro nail for the job. Expected deformity with the nail used.

Thanks to all who engaged with the last post. Really interesting that no obvious consensus. Had I been treating then I think likely a nail/plate combo but not involved until much later in the story. Here’s what was done. Comments welcome. #periprostheticfracture

@shah_punwar Retrograde nail

How are we fixing this one? Looks straightforward 🧐 #periprostheticfracture #knee

@ojedathies @ricardroca Or even more displaced on other views

@ricardroca Le habrán explicado las alternativas. Probablemente esté trabajando antes y con menos revisiones con la PTC. Tampoco vemos toda la cadera, lo mismo ya tenía algo de cambios degenerativos.

Otro más en la lista de famosos que han sufrido una #fxcadera: Piers Morgan, periodista británico de 60 años, sufrió esta fractura intracapsular tras un tropiezo y fue tratado con una prótesis de cadera. Creo que es la opción de resultado más predecible. instagram.com/p/DTpy84diKyC/…

Administration of COX-2 NSAIDs in chronically anticoagulated patients undergoing TKA was not associated with increased transfusions or readmissions. They had a lower risk of MUA and reduced opioid consumption at 90d postop. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

No single surgical approach for TKA consistently outperforms others regarding ROM, PROMs, and reoperation rates. However, a small number of studies demonstrated potential benefits with the subvastus, midvastus, and mini medial parapatellar approaches. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

Patients undergoing THA can expect high return rates and satisfaction with athletic endeavors. Surgical approach generally does not affect return-to-sport outcomes after THA. Most patients, regardless of approach, resumed or exceeded preop activity. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

@Davembmd 👀

There is no clinical advantage of routine patellar resurfacing at 5yr f/u. Resurfacing may reduce anterior knee pain, it also introduces risks such as fracture and maltracking. These findings support a more selective approach. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

Patients who underwent TKA with arthroplasty-trained surgeons experienced fewer complications at 90d, 1yr, and 2yr postop. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…
