Congrats to all of the ortho applicants who found out where they will be spending the next 5 years! I especially want to welcome the 6 future interns who will be joining us at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center! Can’t wait to work with you! #OrthoMatch2021 #MatchDay2021 #orthotwitter #MedTwitter

#OSUWexMed's Dr. Greg Cvetanovich was the first in #Ohio to perform a shoulder replacement using mixed reality #technology. The tech shows a patient's pre-op plan during #surgery, allowing for a more precise and personalized replacement. Details: bit.ly/3s0eelk

Agreed! This secondary analysis more clearly outlines some important results of the FISH trial and I believe supports offering primary ORIF to most patients with a humeral shaft fracture as a part of a shared decision making process. #orthotwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Among patients 60+ with an intracapsular hip fracture, cemented hemiarthroplasty resulted in a modestly better quality of life and a lower risk of periprosthetic fracture than uncemented hemiarthroplasty. nej.md/3rxjxvK

Interested to see how this turns out! I can see the clear benefits to residency programs, but what about applicants? Any concern that applicants will have difficulty matching if they're not rankled highly by programs they signal? What are your thoughts #orthotwitter?

Shoulder SLAP tears in overhead athletes can be a difficult condition to treat. Surgical biceps tenodesis continues to gain popularity, and this study demonstrated a high rate of return to play and functional outcomes in overhead athletes specifically. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
