A recent cohort study published in Annals of Surgery delves into the career trajectories of general surgery residency graduates in the US. Analyzing data from 992 graduates, it finds that a mere 17% engage in academic careers. The study highlights significant associations between graduates from top-ranked programs and those with extensive publication records during residency, indicating these factors considerably boost academic career pursuit. This suggests that residency programs that aim to foster academic surgeons should intensify their support systems, particularly in providing mentorship and research opportunities.

How do you approach teaching X-rays? Great post from Jan S. My approach?? Start with the basics such as what the views are, right/left, etc. then I think describing fracture characteristics (transverse, diaphsyeal, displacement), then I think you can venture down the Weber/Lauge Hansen classification discussion. I know classifications aren’t perfect but it is amazing that we haven’t had another one proposed (outside AO classification)

In my previous post (https://lnkd.in/gFp4mzbs), we discussed the importance of anatomy for medical students. Physicians, surgeons, and healthcare professionals from around the world provided many great insights. Another important aspect of orthopaedic education is evaluating X-rays. What is your method for teaching X-ray evaluation/presentation? Should we be stressing classification systems, ie, Lauge Hansen? The x-rays below are from an early 30's male. How would you describe them? Nicholas Strasser MD 👟 William Crawford, MD FAAOS Renee Genova, MD, FAAOS PD Dr. med. Michael C. Tanner

Can this be fixed

Resource-poor facilities, low-volume institutions, unwritten protocols and undocumented evaluation procedures are just some of the factors to be considered when WE redesign training programs for surgeons. What weight should simulation and apprenticeship carry? What defines a critical procedure for specialty trainees? How do we train the Trainers in adult learning tools? Can we convince them to allow junior colleagues to learn ‘in the field’, how do we make supervised experiences Safe experiences? #TrainingSurgeons #HealthcareTechnology #AdultLearning #BasicPrinciples Surgery training has to step ‘out of the box’ and find new opportunities through innovative thinking and action.

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. #mobiletherapygroup #cht #certifiedhandtherapy #saturdaynightpalsy #radialnerve
