This may be the greatest gift I’ve ever received.

In a special edition of Meniscus Monday, we make a case for centralization during meniscal root repair and how we currently perform it. Great work by one of our Medical College of Wisconsin medical students, Tyson Kauffman. vumedi.com/video/medial-m… via @vumedi

Consider slope reduction in 10.1 degrees or more?! 🤯 That would be too many osteotomies.

Never underestimate a kid with open physes and their ability to heal.

When performing ACL reconstruction, drilling tunnels in the incorrect position continues to be a leading cause of graft failure. What is the landmark here that is helpful for femoral tunnel drilling but sometimes mistaken for the back wall of the lateral notch? #orthotwitter

Nothing better than being up early on a Saturday morning while everyone is still asleep. Reading, exercising, organizing my thoughts and the upcoming week. Then realizing, I am not young or cool anymore.

What do you tell patients when they say they are not interested in physical therapy because it is just a "band aid" and they want a "real fix"? Saw two patients with rotator cuff injuries in follow-up after initiating a 6 week nonoperative protocol with anti-inflammatory

Wisconsin translations from my athletic trainer, Paul Neuenfeldt: Tibial Plateau fracture - Ah ya gotta a bad wheel there End stage knee arthritis - Ah ya gotta flat tire there Rotator cuff injury: Ah ya gotta bad wing there. Meniscus root: Ah ya gotta blown strut there

Sobering results. We are trying to solve a problem from a mechanical standpoint when likely there is a more complex biological process, I believe primarily hormonal in post menopausal women, that is occurring.

Today we did Multilig Monday instead of Meniscus Monday. I have to say, it was way less chill.

Nice goal Tyler!

Will be helping out at the AANA lab course Oct 24-25 in Chicago. Come learn some of the latest techniques and surgical pearls in complex ligament reconstruction and knee preservation.

For the thin, active, healthy patient who doesn’t want a total knee arthroplasty, because they want to keep running, how old is too old for a tibial osteotomy?

Interesting study that I’m sure could generate quite a discussion.
