Insanity… nearly 50% of students never take call during 3rd year? We’re failing to educate an entire generation of physicians in graduated independence, time mgmt, fatigue and stress management during the period of training when they have the most protection/support! 🤦

Decline in overnight call during third-year clerkships

legitimate consideration is whether this student can effectively engage w patients. Pts can be blatantly offensive, sexist, racist, political, you name it... I’ve had pts refuse a “yankee” doc or complain I was “I-talian.” need to be able to take care of them anyway

Squats: The “ass to the grass” method your high school football coach preached really isn’t necessary. Partial range of motion has similar strength benefit, less risk for joint wear and tear. Also true for other joints/exercises.

There is recent data to show that using partial ROM during resistance training may have some similar hypertrophic benefits when compared to a Full ROM (fROM) exercise.

Nonop ACL management:
Great thread to learn to read literature critically. Often quoted as proving ACLs “heal”, it shows ~25% coping rate. Optional delayed surgery pts reported lots of knee instability (40/50), and higher rates of “severe” Knee QOL deficits (27% vs 18%)
ACL Friday!
Lots of discussion lately about the ACL "healing." Let's critically evaluate the main study that has brought this to the mainstream, the KANON trial (a thread) 1/5:

Try to learn early in training to be comfortable with “I don’t know.”

10% traumas have missed injuries
1) Be vigilant. Complacency kills
2) Touch every joint. Twice
3) Xray all abrasions, + above/below all known injuries
4) VITAL: Empower patient, family, nurses, friends. Tell them abt 10%, ask them to share “new” complaints
#orthotwitter
#meded
For trauma pts., especially in high energy cases, if you see an abrasion without sharp pain on exam, and all they say is "it's just like a muscle ache or bruise". Get an xray! Found some broken bones recently with just a small abrasion and mild "ache".

Pre-COVID I wore shirt/tie for clinic, white coat only over scrubs on split clinic/OR days (same bldg). In setting of COVID science > tradition.... scrubs only in clinic. No white coat or sleeves, no ties... Prob should have been same bf COVID.

Exercise is important. This study followed 480k US adults for avg 8 yrs. Pts who met criteria for both moderate aerobic
#exercise
(150 min/wk) and
#weighttraining
(2 days/wk) had ~40% reduction in death from all causes.

Knock knees (termed valgus collapse) ⬆️ stress on ACL... its 1 reason female athletes r high risk for ACL tears, also ⬆️ reinjury risk. Great video from
@LenMacPT
demonstrating in a postop patient. Also why hip abductor strength is so important in rehab.

If med schools like Yale make applications largely indistinguishable they just enhance school prestige bias. The “bottom third” Yale student disappears and all become top tier “Ivy” med students, perpetuating problem. Yale benefits, other schools won’t. Disclaimer: Harvard ‘03

Disclaimer: I do not treat Chubb nor have I seen MRI… but I don’t care what the MRI pics show, that was not “only” an MCL. Better exam and scope will overrule the MRI read IMO

Meniscus Transplant- a brief rant.
Active 33 yo, complete deficiency, pain, effusion, tibial edema, nonfocal gr1/2 tibial CM. Stable. Failed nonop. I discussed transplant.
2nd opinion doc: “That is a drastic surgery. I’ve never done one and I’ve never needed to.”

1) 8 years
2) Every day strangers place complete trust in you. Make sure your work ethic and decisions always reflect that fact.

Important to educate youth athletes with
#ACL
injuries about realistic expectations and long term risk, general perception is higher success and lower midterm failure.
92% children & adolescents RTS following ACLR, but 13% re-rupture the graft & 14% have contralateral ACL rupture within mean 6yrs (Kay et al, 2018). Regardless of age, ACLR pts MUST pass discharge criteria before RTS!
