Celebrating the outstanding cohort of CMC Trauma Fellows this morning at grand rounds. Truly a pleasure working with this great group this year. Look forward to big things from all of you! @BigOrthoTrauma @AtriumMSKI @AtriumHealth

[Kevin D. Phelps, MD @KevinDPhelpsMD]

I feel honored to have had the opportunity to participate in the care of such a resilient patient with the help of our trauma team….check out his story below! @AtriumHealth @AtriumMSKI

[Atrium Health @AtriumHealth]

After falling four stories in an accident, it’s a miracle Jeffrey Greene survived. But after heroic the actions of the Atrium Health trauma team, more than 100 days in the hospital and a year-long recovery, Jeffrey is thriving. #AdvocateHealth https://t.co/aIDPBIHCdY

@mustafa_rashid @Gnomelover1970 @traumaticum @cj_footeMD @JosephHsuMD @rseym01 @LukeHarmerMD @AtriumOrthoRes @JeffreyMSmithMD @otatrauma The goal is to maintain continuity between the anterior deltoid fibers and the lateral proximal brachialis while elevating the insertion as a sleeve of tissue. This can then be repaired over the plate at closure. The paper has specific images on how to address this area.

Backing your way into a suboptimal result should not be praised, rewarded, accepted, nor your overall goal - open up, ask questions, give thought, and learn better (usually simpler) ways to do things better

[Kevin D. Phelps, MD @KevinDPhelpsMD]

Great stuff!

[CMC Ortho Residency @CMC_OrthoRes]

Leadership is not a rank or a position to be attained. Leadership is a service to be given.
