Inspiring morning @HopkinsPlastic@HopkinsMedicine The Paul Manson Lectureship and Alumni Reunion
“The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more” - @rredett
Lucky to be a part of this legacy of innovation and excellence in education, research, & clinical care!
A ground-breaking study confirms what we have been saying for decades — that training is the most effective and sustainable way to address the unmet surgical burden of disease in low-income countries. Learn more: https://t.co/vUdEN8XlDx
"You are a high-performer. Are you living a high-performance life?"
Dr. @GraemeRosenberg@KeckMedicineUSC highlights that our infrastructure is not built around high performance, but we can take important steps.
"It's not an us-problem; it is a systems-problem."

Burns are a global problem causing not just disability and death, but social isolation that is hard to fully appreciate. Had a great session together on our global plastic surgery work this week with @rredett@ChaoLongAzad at the Johns Hopkins Global Surgery Symposium.
I have rounded on my patients nearly every Saturday for 30 years. I like weekend rounds and it’s always better when you can do it with the residents like @HopkinsPlastic Scott Sylvester.
Doing MORE trauma neurosurgery is GOOD for patients. Love studies that confirm my biases;) Well presented by @tdazad and clearly well supervised by @elliotthaut and @DctrJByrne#ACSCOT2024
Guidelines recommend BMD testing after fragility fx, yet we found low testing rates (12%) after distal radius fx. Those tested had lower rates of subsequent fx
Hand surgeons- referring pts w low energy DRF for osteoporosis w/u can ensure early dx & prevent future fx!

Excited to share the technique and clinical report for a new nerve transfer (brachioradialis -> ECRL/B) that helps restore active wrist extension in SCI patients! Now in @TechHandSurgery
🧵regarding the 'rapidly absorbable' sutures, which are used less often than other suture types, but fill specific roles in a number of different surgical specialties.
We'll go over the uses of (and differences between) Chromic, plain gut, 'fast' gut, and Vicryl Rapide.

Commemorating the trailblazing spirit of E. Blackwell, MD, who in 1849 became the first American woman to earn a medical degree, we honor the vital roles that @WomenSurgeons play in patient care, medical research, education and leadership in #plasticsurgery. #NWPD@HopkinsPlastic

Congrats to @HopkinsPlastic Dr. Sami Tuffaha for receiving his first #NIH R01 grant for their work “Long-acting Injectable Protein Delivery System for Functional Repair of Peripheral Nerve Injury”. Sami and Hai-Quan Mao, PhD are MPI’s and Ahmet Hoke, MD, PhD is a co-PI.
Congratulation to Tej Azad (@tdazad) on a brilliant presentation at the @acsTrauma Region III Resident Paper Competition today. Truly a multi-talented rising star bridging the worlds of neurosurgery and trauma.
