I say this to patients ALL the time! If I could bottle and sell what makes kids bones heal so amazingly well, I’d retire tomorrow.

Mistakes are a part of the journey of medicine. They can happen even after years of training. Just like you can bite your tongue once in a while even after years of practice. Doesn’t mean you are less capable. #MedTwitter #orthotwitter #ortho

Some results of conservative treatment we may come to know because of the patient's choice. 8 year follow up of a mallet finger treated with splinting #orthotwitter #hand #upperlimb #trauma

Getting Radiographs in a child can be difficult, especially when the child is in pain in acute conditions. A blurred radiograph may miss subtle fractures. Two radiographs of a child 3 days apart. #pedsortho #orthotwitter

Nice vignette of GCTTS #orthotwitter
Painless slow growing Flexor surface finger swelling in a 20 year old. Though it is T2 hyper intense my intuition is a GCT tendon sheath. #orthotwitter #oncotwitter #orthoonco

So we advised a spine Xray found a congenital scoliosis. Spine MR showed tethering. The child will start Jacket casting next week. Always examine the child first before looking at the Xray.

Bone health is a long term investment Peri-implant fractures will increase exponentially as the life spans increase and more implants are inserted – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland

Cozen Phenomenon: Tendency to develop a valgus derormity after a proximal tibial fracture. Probably one of the rare fractures where a Varus mold is required. #orthotwitter #Ortho #POP #Cast #pedsortho

An asymmetric umbilicus reflex in a patient with scoliosis warrants an MRI, and is often associated with a syrinx #scoliosis #Spine #Neurosurgery #orthotwitter

Some tweets in #orthotweeter have sometimes more reach than an academic article.
I get questions about “pie-crusting”/fenestration technique for fasciotomy wound closure, and how it heals. Here it is, 8 months later. Pie crust scars heal very well from the inside out... you can barely see them now (the little white lines).
