@InvictaOrtho @generalorthomd @deepamusafir1 @TraumaRuberINT @rkh_md @OfficialAKLee Same here, curious about what happened

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@DrBhavinJadav Thank you for this detailed case. Any tips for the dorsal approach to avoid common complications?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@InvictaOrtho Do you change weightbearing status post op?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@DrBhavinJadav Don't you usually need internal rotation to reduce a pertroch fracture? To counteract external rotators ? When do you stop?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@BostonFootAnkle Advantages are obvious with this technique! Are there disadvantages as opposed to the open technique? Does the lack of neurectomy affect the results?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@InvictaOrtho Thank you Dr Yelena.. We rarely think of the patient as a whole;usually we treat fractures as isolated. What's your opinion on the use of cannulated screws? Washers? Partially threaded/unicortical screws in good quality bone?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@BostonFootAnkle @Arthrex Thank you ... please keep posting

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@InvictaOrtho So many constructs can be used to fix the same injury. Do you use the same fixation method everytime or do you have fixed goals that you try to achieve whatever construct you're using? (e.g. plating the cuneiform instead of using the intercuneiform screw)
Thank you

@BostonFootAnkle @Arthrex 1) Can you detail the reduction of the fibula?
2)Does the syndesmotic fixation pass through a slot in the nail?
3)Do you personally think this will be the standard treatment for ankle fractures in the future?(nailing vs plating/tight rope vs Screw/ arthroscopic repair of deltoid)

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@BostonFootAnkle Well explained. I hope you show us later your technique for large lateral OCD of the talus.

@InvictaOrtho Beside traction how do you reduce your typical subtroch fracture? In terms of rotation and abd/adduction

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@ChipRoutt Beautifully explained. I always understand your cases because they are explained in a simple intelligent manner. However, I seem to have trouble coming to the same answers as you when analysing the case alone as the pelvis seem to be more complicated than long bones. Any tips?

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@DrBhavinJadav Any technical tips? Not a common fracture during my residency

[OrthoResident @OrthoResident]

@InvictaOrtho What's your policy on proximal locking? Do you always do it?
