When I started residency, I tried several ways to save articles for later reference for learning, and also to use for academic writing. I tried folders on my computer, Google Drive, and Zotero. Then I found Papers by @readcube. You can drag and drop articles and it automatically will fill in the article information (example below). It has great tools for tagging and categorizing articles to find them later, and taking notes/annotating articles. I'll add some more tips on how to use Papers soon! #AcademicTwitter #MedEd #orthotwitter

@NizaarKinsella Once again, Fofana is terrible

[Midhat Patel, MD @midpatelmd]

@NizaarKinsella Fofana really just isn’t good enough. Slow close on the first goal as well.

@BenMayoMD @traumaticum Sounds like half the interns 😂

Qatar Airways free starlink WiFi, in economy, good enough for me to use Chat GPT and stream live NFL games. Meanwhile, @AmericanAir lets me occasionally send a text message when it’s working with paid WiFi. Gotta step up the game domestically…

@generalorthomd @mhjrad @aghawk99 Wouldn’t trade my job for anything in the world

@YouTubeTV managing to force me to stay subscribed by making it so that if I cancel #YouTubeTV I lose my subscription to Sunday Ticket, and now I’m paying to watch college football separately. Gone from the best option ever at a great price to essentially a trap you can’t escape.

@Ucchaishravas @orthobullets @DrNMaassen @JohnDKellyIVMD @DMarigsMD @StephenAokiMD @EricWagnerMD @DrBryanSaltzman @MikeKnudsenMD @NickGarbis @TylerWillOrtho This is a very similar case with a lag screw and cerclage suture to hold a butterfly fragment final to the final plate application.

@Ucchaishravas @orthobullets @DrNMaassen @JohnDKellyIVMD @DMarigsMD @StephenAokiMD @EricWagnerMD @DrBryanSaltzman @MikeKnudsenMD @NickGarbis @TylerWillOrtho Arthrex makes a tensionable fibertape suture cerclage product that works really well as a provisional reduction tool if you’ve got the right fracture pattern

[Midhat Patel, MD @midpatelmd]

This is an unfortunate and completely avoidable situation. The plate is placed proximally but also for these fractures there are at least 2 manufacturers (and maybe more) that make a “j plate” that’s specifically designed as a lateral column plate with smaller screws distally but with more robust 4.5mm screws for the shaft. Go long, use the right plate!

🦴 In this month’s Surgical Technique, Michael McKee, MD; Niloofar Dehghan, MD; and @midpatelmd discuss fixation for periprosthetic humeral shaft #fractures.

ANOTHER ONE 🥶

Can’t say I’ve ever regretted carving out time to just read

Great book so far on attention in the modern era

[Midhat Patel, MD @midpatelmd]

What a game. Jokic with the inbounds defense… plays that win championships.

[Midhat Patel, MD @midpatelmd]

@orthotraumamd @orthobullets @LeeKabackMD @upperlimbcentre @doctbgriffith @dave_cloke @EauClaireOrtho @PaulSethiMD @lbowfixr @JSanchezSotelo @AndronicOrtho @DrBryanSaltzman @txsportsdoc @robgraymd @Gnomelover1970 I’ve never seen strong evidence to go one way or the other. For me, proximal anchors to anchor the proximal tendon where it belongs, sutures docked over the top into a distal anchor(s) for provide strong compression across the footprint

@nspiuzzi @CMSGov @AAHKS @AAOS1 @ORSsociety @ORSSCRSection @OREFtoday @CleClinicArthGp 2 papers on shoulder arthroplasty and 1 on cuff repair accepted on this subject this year and more coming. Bhandari said he was hearing us at CCF research day last year! Must keep fighting the good fight.
