Time to meet our interns! 🦴

First up, meet Brady Decker, M.D., a PGY-1 orthopedic surgery resident from Mayflower, Arkansas.

Brady earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arkansas and his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

Why Orthopedics?
"Orthopedic Surgery is the coolest job in the world! My interest started after seeing how orthopedic conditions affected my loved ones and was solidified while working as a medical scribe in an orthopedic clinic before medical school. Whether it's helping patients recover from life-changing injuries, enabling people to maintain an active lifestyle, getting athletes back on the field or court, or simply providing pain relief to a grandparent so they can spend more time with their grandchildren, I knew orthopedics was for me."

Why Baylor College of Medicine?
"While rotating at Baylor as a medical student, the support and camaraderie among the residents and faculty were evident from day one. When you combine that kind of culture with the operative experience and autonomy, it truly stands out. Training in the Texas Medical Center provides exposure to a diverse patient population, wide variety of pathology, and high volume of complex trauma. I wanted a program with a challenging environment that also provided the support needed to learn and grow as a surgeon and Baylor fit that."

Outside of medicine, Brady enjoys fitness, traveling, hiking, basketball and trying new cuisines with Gio.

Happy Friday from Grand Rounds!

Thank you to Bobby Hillert, Executive Director of the Texas Orthopaedic Association, for leading today’s Grand Rounds.

Hillert presented on “Silence Is Expensive: Why Orthopaedic Advocacy Matters Now.”

His presentation explored some of the key policy issues affecting orthopaedic practice today, including proposed Medicare payment changes, state-level scope-of-practice developments and commercial insurance barriers. He also discussed the importance of physician advocacy in supporting patient safety, physician-led care and access to orthopaedic care.

Florent Elefteriou, PhD, recently represented Baylor College of Medicine at the 2026 NF Conference, hosted by the Children's Tumor Foundation in Denver, where he presented "Treating the NF1 Skeleton: Promise, Mechanisms, and Translational Barriers."

Dr. Elefteriou shared his lab's work on the etiology of NF1 bone dysplasia and fracture non-union, and discussed how neurofibromin loss affects skeletal cell populations at the earliest stages of bone formation. His research continues to shape our understanding of NF1 as a disorder intrinsic to bone and cartilage, and to point toward translational approaches for patients affected by these skeletal complications.

🎾 Tennis is a full body sport that builds strength, agility and cardiovascular endurance. The forced pauses combined with explosive bursts of activity work like high intensity interval training, making it a more efficient workout than steady state cardio like jogging.

But the same forehands, backhands and serves that make tennis such a great workout can also lead to common injuries, including shoulder strain, tennis elbow, biceps tendinitis and wrist overuse.

Dr. Adil Ahmed, orthopedic surgeon in the Joseph Barnhart Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, shares expert tips on tennis injury prevention, proper warm up techniques and how to protect your shoulders, elbows and wrists on the court.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, these tennis training tips can help you play stronger and prevent injury. Read the blog here: https://bit.ly/4bGBkY5
