Welcome to Season 2 of the Orthobullets Podcast

Today's Core episode will focus on the topic of Peripheral Nerve Injury & Repair.

Peripheral nerve injury is fairly common and can cause temporary or permanent damage depending on the location, extent of axonal disruption, and how quickly it’s treated. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on the presence of a known injury and nerve dysfunction. Imaging tools like ultrasound or MRI help assess the nerve’s structure, but EMG/NCS is essential for evaluating both the injury and the healing process. In traumatic cases, surgical exploration confirms the diagnosis.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Orthobullets Podcast

Today's Foundations episode will focus on the topic of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a spinal deformity seen mostly in girls aged 10–18. It’s diagnosed with standing full-length spine X-rays and treated with observation, bracing, or surgery based on growth status, curve size, and progression.

Can you answer our FREE Question of the Day?

A 35-year-old male presents after a motor vehicle collision with right thigh deformity and pain, and his radiographs are shown in Figures A and B. The patient is appropriately resuscitated and taken to the operating room for fixation of his right femoral shaft fracture. Which of the following operative considerations is the most significant risk factor for non-union?

1. Open fracture reduction
2. Addition of cerclage wires around the fracture
3. Retrograde intramedullary nail
4. Intramedullary nail with an unreamed technique
5. Staged external fixation followed by definitive intramedullary nail

A 67-year-old male presents to the emergency department for evaluation of right ankle pain after jumping out of the bed of his truck and landing on a rock with a plantarflexed foot. On examination, there is a clear deformity with no wounds present. His injury resulted from both rotational and axial impaction forces onto the tibial plafond. Which of the following radiographs would most likely represent the patient's fracture pattern?

1. Figure A
2. Figure B
3. Figure C
4. Figure D
5. Figure E

Can you answer our FREE Question of the Day?

A 51-year-old male presents to the clinic after his masseuse pointed out a palpable mass along his right volar forearm. He notes that it is not particularly painful when palpated, but he has had progressively worsening paresthesias about the thumb, index, and middle fingers over the last year. On exam, there is a positive Tinel's sign along the same distribution. A representative slice from the patient's MRI is shown in Figure A, and he undergoes operative treatment with findings from the intra-operative frozen section shown in Figure B. Which of the following represents the best subsequent approach to his definitive treatment?

1. Chemotherapy alone given degree of nerve involvement
2. Wide resection with reconstruction of the affected nerve
3. Marginal resection with excision parallel to the nerve fascicles
4. Marginal resection with adjuvant radiation
5. Marginal resection with adjuvant chemotherapy

Can you answer our FREE Question of the Day?

A 21-year-old competitive equestrian presents to your clinic one week after her horse fell while she was mounted. When she impacted the ground, her left foot was caught in a plantarflexed position in the stirrup. She was initially seen at an urgent care and non-weight-bearing films were read as normal. On exam, she has exquisite pain over the midfoot with bruising along the medial plantar foot and moderate swelling. Weight-bearing films of her injured foot are seen in Figure 1. As part of the shared decision-making process, you inform the patient that when compared to primary fusion, open reduction and internal fixation with rigid implants has a higher rate of which outcome?

1. Hardware removal
2. Revision fixation across the midfoot
3. Mid-term patient-reported outcomes
4. Increased stress on adjacent joints
5. Length of time non-weight bearing

A professional minor league baseball catcher is hoping to be called up to a major league team in the spring, but he has been having a nagging, constant pain in the dorsomedial aspect of his foot for the last five months, particularly when jumping from a crouched position. Radiographs were negative for fracture, but physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, and conservative measures have not helped his pain. An MRI is obtained and is shown in Figure A. Which of the following is he currently most at risk for with this injury?

1. Arch collapse and acquired flatfoot deformity
2. Cavovarus foot deformity
3. Nonunion
4. Posterior tibialis tendon insufficiency (PTTI)
5. Transfer metatarsalgia

Welcome to Season 2 of the Orthobullets Podcast

Today's Foundations episode will focus on the topic of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty is a shoulder replacement procedure that uses a convex glenoid ball and a concave humeral cup to restore joint function. It shifts the center of rotation medially and inferiorly, enhancing the deltoid muscle's mechanical advantage. This procedure is commonly used for rotator cuff tear arthropathy, complex proximal humerus fractures, and failed prior shoulder arthroplasty.
