@otatrauma @uk_ortho and by splitting, I mean SPLINTING!

In a randomized trial involving adults who received local antibiotics during surgery for orthopedic infection, a short duration of systemic antibiotics was noninferior to a long duration regarding treatment failure at 12 months. Full SOLARIO trial results: https://t.co/4uIUCFkH1r

@solimanibra92 @traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @Gnomelover1970 @Davembmd @bonesmith_ @centerofhip @anklefootmd Dont try to re bend it. Could be a problem. Just cut and remove both at the same time. Least chance of complication

@orthotraumamd Need to be careful on the interpretation. Kitchen sink might still work. High dose tobra plus vanco does not. Im pretty convinced that there's an acid base problem here. This is the case where we need to head back to the lab!

@orthotraumamd Its hard to ignore the evidence and the logic that the ligament is not a rigid construct, so why should the fixation be too?? Length is obviously an issue, but there are ways around it. Maybe it would be more adopted if manufacturers would sell for significantly less?

[Paul Matuszewski, MD, FAAOS, FAOA @DeformityDoc]

@otatrauma soft tissue course with @JanetConwayy prior to gastroc flap demonstration! Brr! It was almost frozen solid, but we were able to get the lab going.. Great course!

[Paul Matuszewski, MD, FAAOS, FAOA @DeformityDoc]

What a fun time to present the main symposium this AM on limb salvage vs amputation at this year's @otatrauma annual meeting! @jamesablairMD @LimbDeformity @JosephHsuMD @PaleyInstitute

[Paul Matuszewski, MD, FAAOS, FAOA @DeformityDoc]

This was a per troch fx. There are 3 fragments (at least). No matter how much you tighten a set screw it will always slide. Without a competent lateral fragment, the medial aspect will slide. Having a positive cortical overlap med would help prevent this. Perfect reduction or "negative" overlap results in invagination of the medial fragment.

Alyssa Barre presenting on our work regarding femoral anteversion at the LLRS meeting in Philadelphia @LimbDeformity and its variation in our population! Congrats ! @uk_ortho

[Paul Matuszewski, MD, FAAOS, FAOA @DeformityDoc]

@JanetConwayy I use Burlington medical. Everything is custom sized. Infab I'm told isn't.

Congratulations Drs. Jessica Rivera and @DeformityDoc Paul Matuszewski on a fantastic specialty day! #AAOS2025

[LLRS @LimbDeformity]

We are focusing on the importance of rehabilitation at specialty day and had a great first session. Dr. Noehran spoke about the importance of developing injury specific rehabilitation and finding better ways to assess how our patients are recovering. Drs. Wilken and Dunkle taught us about the role of dynamic bracing and blood flow restriction therapy. #AAOS2025
