This is why medicine will no longer attract the best and brightest. Come spend 17 years of your life to train, assume all the risk, take on enormous debt and get paid less than most trades these days. It’s hard to believe we allowed this. We are Medcine, Surgery, but somehow we turned our profession over to suits and allowed them to control us,get paid more than us and in many cases go work for them instead of ourself 🤷‍♂️

Why do we fix patella fractures? Aren't they just small bones? Check out our findings in over 3000 patella fractures in a single institution. https://t.co/eK4VuXWS00

Olecranon fractures are uncommon in children and no clear guidline exists for operative vs non operative treatment. Our most recent paper looks at the largest series on this topic. Great work by ⁦@ro_ro1024⁩ https://t.co/rIahpq6Dat

Bonjour, it’s a great day to check our new paper about BMI Effects on Lower Extremity Fractures Surgical Fixation Outcomes! @DpereiraMd

I’ve been lucky to co-author a few papers, but these ones stand out - an incredible team, a great mentor, and a lead author I’m truly proud to work with. Go Zina!!! 🫶

[DpereiraMD @DpereiraMd]

Our latest study leveraging a large retrospective national database and the impact of GLP1 and fracture care.
Important to start looking at general associations (this study) and then go deeper with future, better clinical studies.

Happy to announce I was one of Mid Atlantic Shoulder and Elbow Society (MASES) 2025 scholars and had the privilege to present three abstarcts at the MASES 14th Annual Meeting earlier in Washington, DC! #WeOwnTheBone

@ZinaSmadi Very well deserved, one of the hardest working individuals I know

[DpereiraMD @DpereiraMd]

Great study! LLMs are going to become the go-to place for medical information by patients. How do they perform when answering questions on clubfoot treatment?

[Pooya Hosseinzadeh, MD @CPOrthopedics]

Large language models are replacing the search engines when patients needs medical information. Our recent article reports on the use of LLMs for questions on clubfoot https://t.co/GwXai26wfE

@CPOrthopedics @WashUMedOrtho Very well deserved!

[John Asghar MD @JahangirAsgha10]

In 2023, the U.S. spent approximately $1.35 trillion on healthcare administration. That’s more than we spent on:
•Physician salaries (~$350B)
•Nursing salaries (~$335B)
•Retail prescription drugs (~$450B)
•Imaging, lab tests, EHRs, and outpatient procedures combined
•Even capital investment in hospitals and equipment

All the while, clinicians are being told to “do more with less.”

Every cost-saving initiative aimed at doctors adds layers of compliance and complexity which only fuels the unchecked growth of bureaucracy.

So excited to finally share the results of our study on risk of VTE after lower extremity fractures in children and adolescents published @jbjs. A relatively novel topic that should be studied more @WashUMedOrtho @POSNA_org … https://t.co/5ARE3OUnwW

[John P Erwin III MD MBA MACC (#BigPoppy ) @HeartOTXHeartMD]

Worth posting again.

[Pooya Hosseinzadeh, MD @CPOrthopedics]

It’s great to see 3 of our papers published in this month’s issue of the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics. 1- Effect of Anxiety and Depression on narcotics use after peds fractures 2- Novel Risk Factors for Perthes 3- Vitamin D and SCFE development https://t.co/PRfEZUHPsz

[Matthew Smith @mrshoulderfixit]

Nope. Don’t like this. Hopefully orthopedic PACs can help…

👀 Ortho is second only to neurosurgery in terms of the frequency of performing overlapping surgery

What is the current understanding of overlapping surgery in ortho as it relates to patient outcomes/perceptions? @VUmedicine @DPereiraMD #OrthoTwitter
