The posterolateral approach to the ankle enables full exposure and fixation of the distal tibia and fibula. Care should be taken to avoid injury to the sural nerve. Be sure to mark the approximate area of important anatomy prior to making your incision.

The most gratifying moments in orthopedic surgery........I’ll start:
1. Removing an entrapped deltoid ligament from the medial gutter, thus enabling the distal fibula fracture to reduce anatomically.

Question:
What is the reason why folks didn't match?
Poor scores? Bad rotation? Not a team player? Bad advising from the school/mentors?
We love the applicants but perhaps everyone needs to evaluate why individuals don't match.
#Match2023
For those who didn't match, whether you are an MD, DO, or FMG, please understand that there is no secret sauce, no secret code and no 'one size fits all' technique to gaining a residency spot.
Please reach out to your mentors and self-reflect in order to identify ways to

Diagnosing diabetes during a preop workup.....just another day in the foot and ankle world. Who says orthopedic surgeons don’t know medicine? What medical diagnoses have you found during a clearance/optimization workup?

Some will match, others may not. If you don’t, seek out advice from mentors - make the best decision for you!

Early bird gets the worm🐛 - I usually arrive at the office between 6:45 and 7am every day when I am not in the OR. This gives me a chance to complete any pending tasks, review administrative commitments and prepare for the clinic schedule that awaits.
@NorthwellHealth
How do you define ‘being busy?’
1. Surgical/Office scheduling wait time?
2. RVU’s?
3. Case volume?
4. Take home pay?
5. Whether you’re the talk of the town?
6. Manuscripts published?
7. CV length?
8. Name recognition?
9. Late nights in the OR?

Dear

Journal Editor,
I recently did a lit search on a research idea and found a similar study that was published 5-years ago with low numbers and power. Is it worth submitting this updated study with a significantly higher “n”?

Mandatory late office start to send these two off to school.
They’re my biggest fans & critics. They don’t care about publications, podiums or book chapters. They’re not impressed by leadership.

Dear Chat GPT -
Are you able to help me filter medical documents that I received from a patient's PCP so that I only need to read the most relevant 1-2 pages instead of all 25?
Thanks in advance,
Orthopaedic Surgeon
