Presented at #ASCO26:

Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://t.co/xwLWBZYRzq

@txsportsdoc Congratulations! Huge accomplishment

A lawyer can own a law firm. A chef can own a restaurant. Apparently anybody in Los Angeles can own a hospice facility.

Yet doctors can’t own hospitals.

This is pure protectionism.

Surgery is a "wicked" environment: feedback is delayed, noisy, and often biased. My essay on why experience doesn't always equal mastery, and how to learn when the feedback loops are broken.

The American Medical Association represents less than 15% of American physicians.

They collect $300 million per year by licensing the billing codes the government forces taxpayers to use.

They spent $486 million lobbying since 1998.
During that time, physician practice ownership collapsed from 80% to 12%.

Starting today, we dive into the AMA's history and find out what's really going on.

Can the AMA be reformed?
Do they represent physicians?

Let's find out, shall we...🧵

Do spine vascular lesions make your brain feel as tangled as the dilated vessels you see?

Want some information on malformations?

Here’s a thread on spine vascular anatomy to give you durable knowledge on dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF)

Posterior shoulder dislocations are rare—and often missed.

The spinal cord is a scary thing to incise. The cord has a midline fissure that makes it easier there, but paramedian cord does not. However, myelotomy along dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) is safe for dorsal spinal cord cavernous malformations, entering posteromedial to descending corticospinal tract & dancing around posterior spinal artery…

Hey #MedTwitter & #OrthoTwitter!
I’m Andrew Koenig, an OMS4 at @DCOMtweets applying Orthopedic Surgery for #Match2026.

I’m especially interested in joints, sports medicine, and trauma. Outside of medicine, I am training for an Ironman & enjoy spending time with my family.

Excited to connect and learn throughout audition and match season!

@jointdocShields @Davembmd @DewantDr92701 @abu_inayaat @OrthopodReg Agreed, that’s the same sentiment I’ve seen thus far in training. was curious to hear your opinions.

Are we breaking away from cement?

Global registries seem to be shifting from cemented to cementless femoral fixation.
