This is a natural “barber chair” split in the tree. For arborists this is a dangerous and difficult situation. It is like when you are performing a transverse femur osteotomy with your osteotome and it propagates into a spiral fracture. More proof that we are a part of nature.

The new MaxFrame hardware is amazing and really rounds out the set. While the swivel technology is useful, now we get that 90 deg fixed angle fixation we were missing.

LLRS SD was a real inspiration with intense discussions on PF instability and the role of femoral and tibial malalignment. Drs Fulkerson and Tanaka delivered outstanding lectures on bony and ligamentous anatomy and solutions. Periarticular osteotomy restores the anatomy.

My first surgery of the day was just cancelled. After a year of trying this patient and her husband just found out she was pregnant on a holing area ucg. What an amazing Passover and Easter gift.

Check out our new publication on how to prevent and treat long bone infection when IM nailing. Calcium sulfate loaded with antibiotic does the trick! jbji.copernicus.org/articles/7/101…

Here is a great example of using a whole lot of wires to stabilize a really stubborn distal tibia non-union in a patient with osteopenia. She is finally healed!

It was great teaching AutoStrut with my friends and colleagues Spence Reid and Stephen Wallace. 2/3 past presidents of the LLRS is a pretty sweet line up for educators.
