What would you do in this situation?🤔

40s year old patient with end stage liver disease due to auto immunity, presents to clinic 5 weeks after sustaining this injury while visiting family out of state, and falling down some stairs.

She initially had some pain, but presented to another hospital in a hepatic crisis, was treated emergently for that, and her leg swelling was attributed to liver issues. She then was transferred to her liver transplant hospital, and once medically stable, the injury was diagnosed. the orthopaedic surgeon on call recommended discharge and follow up with a ,specialist.

She is on the liver transplant list and has hope for the future.

22yo driver T-boned. What is your diagnosis?🤔

No head injury. Bilateral pulm contusions. No hollow viscous injury, no solid organ issues. Skeletal injuries as presented, nothing else.

Intubated, active resus in progress. SBP 100, HR 100, lactate 4 -> 3 -> 2. Vent settings stable 40 FiO2.

3x2 cm deep wound over left lateral thigh at the level of the femur fracture. Pelvis fx confirmed closed on vaginal/rectal exam.

Hot trauma time. Let’s go! Diagnosis? ED management? Emergency management options? What you do at your hospital? Timing to OR and plan? Staged management or early total care? How do you decide? Order of operations? Pearls and pitfalls from the trauma surgeons out there?

Why are orthopaedic surgeons among the highest prescribers of opioid medications?🤔

It’s difficult to answer this question with a lot of high-quality evidence. There is a tacitly accepted belief that ‘bony work’ – fracture fixation, osteotomies, bone tunnel drilling, etc. – tends to be more painful than soft tissue or organ work. There is also the reality of the situation in which we work, which can create a positive feedback loop – if predecessors or colleagues prescribe medications in a certain way for a given procedure, this comes to be the expectation and the norm among patients, allied health team members, and other physicians.

Furthermore, many of our interventions are aimed primarily at reducing pain – in fact, a popular axiom that applies across many different orthopaedic conditions (e.g. arthritis, rotator cuff tears, etc.) is to not operate on a patient who presents with no pain, for you are likely to make them worse. Finally, there is the inevitable concern of an added burden for the surgeon and their administrative staff – if patients are sent home with inadequate analgesia, they will either call the office to ask for more, or worse, present to the emergency department and use up valuable and expensive resources. So, why not give them a little bit extra, just in case? Makes sense, right?

The Transformative Impact of Contemporary Orthopaedic Studies on Surgical Practice✍️

In the ever-evolving landscape of orthopaedics, the pursuit of knowledge is a cornerstone for surgeons dedicated to providing optimal patient care. The importance of reading up-to-date orthopaedic studies cannot be overstated, as it serves as a catalyst for transformative change in surgical practices.

Orthopaedic surgeons, entrusted with the responsibility of enhancing patient outcomes, find themselves in a dynamic field where new evidence continually reshapes established paradigms. Keeping abreast of the latest studies ensures that practitioners remain at the forefront of medical advancements, facilitating informed decision-making and, consequently, elevating the standard of care.

One pivotal aspect of reading contemporary orthopaedic studies lies in the refinement of surgical techniques. As novel procedures and technologies emerge, surgeons armed with the latest evidence can adapt and integrate these innovations into their practice. This adaptability not only enhances the efficiency of procedures but also broadens the spectrum of treatment options available, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Moreover, staying updated with current research empowers orthopaedic surgeons to critically evaluate existing practices. The ability to question and reassess established norms fosters a culture of continuous improvement. By challenging traditional methods in light of new evidence, surgeons can refine their approaches, discard outdated practices, and embrace innovations that align with the best available evidence.

Patient care is the ultimate beneficiary of this commitment to ongoing learning. Orthopaedic surgeons who delve into recent studies cultivate a patient-centered mindset, ensuring that their practice is rooted in evidence-based medicine. This approach not only enhances the efficacy of treatments but also minimizes the risks associated with outdated or suboptimal interventions.

The ripple effect of reading up-to-date orthopaedic studies extends beyond individual practices. Surgeons actively engaged in current research contribute to the collective knowledge of the field. This collaborative effort fuels advancements, drives research agendas, and shapes the future of orthopaedics. Through the exchange of insights and experiences, the orthopaedic community becomes a dynamic hub of innovation, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

In conclusion, the significance of reading contemporary orthopaedic studies is paramount for surgeons committed to excellence in patient care. By staying informed, orthopaedic practitioners not only refine their surgical techniques but also contribute to the evolution of the field. The transformative impact of evidence-based practice is not merely theoretical; it is a tangible force that shapes the landscape of orthopaedic surgery, one study at a time.

We are excited to debut a New OE Insight series called Surgeon Features🎉

Surgeon Features will deep dive into the lives of key figures in the world of orthopaedics, from high-volume trauma surgeons to world-renowned surgeon scientists.

For the inaugural edition, we sat down with OE’s founder and Editor-in-Chief Dr. Mohit Bhandari for an engaging conversation on success, inspiration, and his career as an orthopaedic surgeon. Dr. Bhandari is a Distinguished University Professor & Chair of the Department of Surgery at McMaster University and holds a Canada Research Chair in Surgical Innovation.

In this OE Insight, we present "10 Things You Didn’t Know" about OE's very own, Mohit Bhandari.

❓Q 1/10: Thinking back to all your past interviews and biographies, what is 1 thing about you that you’ve never told anybody?

"As a child, I had a lot of difficulty with 'stuttering' — so much so that I avoided public speaking as much as possible. Rather than hide, my parents encouraged me to get in front of people and speak, learn from others, slow down my thoughts, and grow my confidence by learning to accept any setbacks as opportunities to learn." - Dr. Bhandari

In patients with frozen shoulder, can a combined central nervous system-focused intervention and graded motor imagery with manual therapy and stretching program improve pain and function after 3 months, compared to peripheral-focused intervention only (i.e., manual therapy and stretching)?🤔
