@deln_ioann @Davembmd If the fracture is displaced on one image, it’s displaced. Pins are non-divergent, intersect at fracture site, and too close together. This should be revised as soon as possible.

@bgbaseball25 You are gonna be a huge asset to whichever program is lucky enough to land you! I’m excited to follow the next step in your journey.

@BednarikMatt @mcuban @GovBillLee Should providers be able to provide life saving care to only the highest bidders?

[Barry E. Schapiro, M.D., FAAOS @bschapiromd]

@BednarikMatt @mcuban @GovBillLee …Only their profits.

#2- Healthcare can never follow simple supply and demand curves when life saving treatment is on the line. Think about what that would mean. What wouldn’t someone pay for lifesaving care?

@RepGregMurphy With all due respect, Congressman, it’s not the medical schools’ fault; it’s Congress’s. We should screen our congressmen better.

@northwoods1980 Initial non-op management is appropriate. Consider surgery for recurrent instability, inability to return to sports, contact athletes, and throwers.

@northwoods1980 I don’t have any issue with not resurfacing the patella. That’s a game time decision based on the appearance of the patella. I do have reservations about press fitting a total knee in a 92 year old, but would defer to the surgeon based on bone quality. It’s not contraindicated.

[Barry E. Schapiro, M.D., FAAOS @bschapiromd]

He’s on his way to the hospital for an angiogram to confirm no vascular injury and likely compartment monitoring, as vascular injury and compartment syndrome are the two most immediate threats to limb viability.

[Barry E. Schapiro, M.D., FAAOS @bschapiromd]

Just from the way he planted and the appearance of his leg after the play, #Tyreek looks like he most likely dislocated his knee and it was immediately reduced on the field.
These are devastating potentially limb-threatening injuries, true orthopedic emergencies.

@jointdocShields I use it for my totals and have had no issues. My first several throws suprapatellar are interrupted #1 vicryl pop-offs, then #1 stratafix for the remainder of the arthrotomy.

[Barry E. Schapiro, M.D., FAAOS @bschapiromd]

@northwoods1980 I prefer BT in almost all populations. I think doing less work in the joint is probably best. Also, they seem to have less pain and get motion back much faster.

@northwoods1980 3 anchors nonetheless. Must have been a very bad degenerative SLAP tear.

@RepGregMurphy @GmOrr9000 Refund the federal government?
You realize that the federal government doesn’t pay medical school tuition for 99.99% of the physicians in this country, right? Only those enlisted.

@northwoods1980 Rule #1: First, reduce the fracture.

It’s always so surreal seeing these monsters offshore, so close and so devastating. I’m wishing all of my friends and colleagues in Northern Florida and the panhandle a safe ride. Evacuate if possible, but if not, please stay safe.

@rkh_md At age 50 or 15 years of service, call should be optional. My 2 cents.
