Fun Fact: The Evolution of Bioskills and Its Impact Over Time! 🦾
Did you know that bioskills training has revolutionized surgical education and patient care over the years? What started as simple anatomical dissections has evolved into advanced, hands-on training that equips surgeons with the skills they need to perform cutting-edge procedures.
From early 20th-century cadaver labs to today's high-tech simulations, bioskills training has consistently improved surgical precision, reduced complication rates, and enhanced patient outcomes. It's a critical component of continuing education that empowers surgeons to stay at the forefront of medical innovation.
As technology advances, so does the impact of bioskills—ensuring that the surgeons of tomorrow are better prepared than ever. And at the forefront of this evolution, the Association of Bioskills Laboratory Excellence (ABLE) is leading the way. ABLE is committed to setting the standard for bioskills training, driving innovation, and shaping the future of surgical education. The future of surgery is in good hands!

It goes by many names: MagicKnee, Jiffy Knee, “comb-over”, subvastus, undervastus, midvastus, lateral knee, quad sparing.
Originally described by Erkes in 1929, and popularized slowly over the last 3 decades, this approach allows for access to the joint without cutting the quad tendon. There are plenty studies including meta analysis that support better early recovery compared to cutting the quad tendon, with those benefits dissipating out by 6 months or one year.
The pushback I see these days towards this approach is what happened with direct anterior (DA) approach to the hip. And now industry sponsored labs are thriving with surgeons wanting to learn DA. I believe similar teaching opportunities will be available for muscle sparing knee replacement. Glad to see more and more surgeons coming on board…

How Endoscopic Spine Tech is Redefining the Game – Are You Keeping Up? 👀
Quick question for all the spine reps & managers out there: How do you guys keep up with the latest in #EndoscopicSpineSurgery?
Are there specific resources or types of training you find super helpful?
Always curious to know how we can bridge the gap between the surgical side and sales.
In fact- what are some things that you think are great about endo spine, but surgeons and docs are not talking about them? Are all the conversations the same?

Great radial nerve pathway review Mirella Deisher.
We have a patient currently at Mobile Therapy Group, LLC with radial nerve palsy, and I find it very helpful to educate the patient on the order of nerve innervation so they know what to expect and what to strengthen, with our guidance.
Radial nerve palsy, also known as Saturday night palsy. It is a condition that occurs when the radial nerve in the upper arm is compressed for a prolonged period of time. It got its nickname of “Saturday Night Palsy” because it can happen when someone falls asleeps on their arm while intoxicated with the arm draped over furniture or even against the wall.
Radial nerve palsy is also often associated with humeral fractures and or subluxations.
Symptoms include: weakness or partial paralysis of muscles in the radial nerve distribution. Wrist drop, and inability to extend the fingers and thumb often occur.
Treatment includes specialized, splinting, and exercises to target the muscles as re-innervation begins.

Founder & Faculty at Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship, LLC
In the March Journal of Hand Surgery a study found that the Brachialis muscle is innervated by the radial nerve in a potentially large percentage of people. In this study by Bertelli, Rojas-Niera, Garzon, and Levaro on fresh cadavers, they identified this pattern 41% of the time.
So grateful to those that commit themselves to research.
Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship, LLC is committed to education within the specialty of upper limb and hand therapy which necessitates staying current and being able to appraise and appropriately integrate evidence to practice.
VHSF offers curriculums for different learning goals, each scaffolding content to support effective critical thinking adjusted for the level of the learner, from introductory to advanced. We recently launched our May CHT Exam Prep cohort. We’ll be launching our next Virtual Hand Therapy Fellowship in September and we’re just getting started with our Intro to Hand Therapy cohort.
All VHSF curriculums are AOTA approved.
