"This Doctor's Day, I bow in gratitude —
To my teachers who sculpted my mind,
To my parents who nurtured my heart,
And to my patients who trusted me with their pain and walked out with a smile.
You all made me the doctor I am today. 🙏👨‍⚕️❤️"

👵🏼💥 Aunty slipped in the bathroom again? That dreaded hip fracture strikes again in elderly women! But what’s the best way to fix it? 🤔

Let’s break it down:
🔧 CRIF (Closed Reduction & Internal Fixation) – We use screws and rods to fix the broken bone. Great if the bone quality is decent and aunty is fairly active.
But the risk? Screws may loosen if bones are too weak (thanks to osteoporosis 😬).

🦾 Hip Replacement – We remove the broken part and replace it with a metal joint. It gives immediate stability and lets aunty walk sooner 🚶‍♀️. Perfect for low bone quality and those who want a quick return to routine.

🎯 The right choice depends on age, bone strength & lifestyle.
Let’s aim for fewer bedsores and more happy steps! 🛏️➡️👣

Every surgeon you meet adds a new perspective to your journey. It's not just about techniques, it’s about mindset, discipline, and passion for healing. 🙌
Young surgeons like us need this kind of exposure — it’s fuel for our ambition and learning curve! 💪🧠

Big thanks to all the amazing doctors I met who made me feel welcome and shared their wisdom so generously. 🙏
Back home, but fired up with fresh energy and ideas! 🚀

**🚨 Breaking Down the Best Implants for Intertrochanteric Fractures! 🦴💥**

Hey Ortho Fam! 👋 Let’s talk about the **DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw)**, **PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail)**, and **PFNA 2 (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation)** for intertrochanteric fractures. Each has its pros and cons, so let’s dive in! 🌊

**1️⃣ DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw)**
✅ **Merits**: Great for stable fractures, cost-effective, and easy to use.
❌ **Demerits**: Not ideal for unstable fractures, higher risk of screw cut-out, and more invasive.

**2️⃣ PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail)**
✅ **Merits**: Better for unstable fractures, less invasive, and allows early weight-bearing.
❌ **Demerits**: Technically challenging, risk of Z-effect (screw migration), and higher cost.

**3️⃣ PFNA 2 (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation)**
✅ **Merits**: Excellent for unstable fractures, anti-rotation blade reduces complications, and minimally invasive.
❌ **Demerits**: Expensive, requires expertise, and risk of blade migration.

**💡 Takeaway**:
- **DHS** = Stable fractures, budget-friendly.
- **PFN** = Unstable fractures, early mobility.
- **PFNA 2** = Unstable fractures, fewer complications.

Choose wisely based on fracture type and patient needs! 🩺✨

🔩 Multilock Humerus Nail vs. Conventional Nails – Game Changer in Fixation! 💪

Are you still using conventional nails for humerus fractures? It's time to level up with Multilock Humerus Nails! 🚀 Here’s why they are superior:

✅ Superior Rotational Stability – Multiple locking options prevent rotation, reducing implant failure. 🔄
✅ Stronger Fixation in Osteoporotic Bone – More screws = better hold! 🦴💪
✅ Even Load Distribution – Less stress on individual screws = longer implant life! ⏳🔧
✅ Better Alignment Control – Say goodbye to malunion & deformities! ❌🦴
✅ Early Mobilization – Patients recover faster with stable fixation! 🏃‍♂️💨
✅ Versatile Surgical Approach – Suitable for both antegrade & retrograde techniques! ⚕️🔬

🔹 More Stability. More Control. Faster Healing. 🚑🔥

🚨 5 Things to AVOID After Forearm Bone Surgery 🚨

💪 1. Avoid Lifting Heavy Objects:
Say no to heavy lifting 🏋️‍♂️ until your surgeon gives the green light! It can delay healing or cause complications.

❌ 2. Don’t Ignore Symptoms:
Don’t brush off signs like redness, swelling, or severe pain. Keep an eye out and consult your doctor if needed. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

💧 3. Avoid Wetting the Dressing:
Keep that bandage dry! 🌊 Use a waterproof cover while bathing to prevent infections.

📅 4. Don’t Skip Follow-Up Appointments:
Regular check-ups are key to tracking your progress and avoiding complications. Stay consistent! ✅

🚭 5. Avoid Smoking & Alcohol:
Smoking and alcohol 🚬🍷 can interfere with bone healing. Say no for faster recovery!

💡 Remember: Recovery is a journey—take it one step at a time! 🛠️✨

🌟 Did You Know? 🌟
Kids’ bones are superheroes when it comes to healing! 🦸‍♂️💪 While adults may take 12 weeks or more to recover from a fracture, children often heal in just 3-6 weeks—all thanks to their growth plates and faster bone remodeling! 🕒✨

💡 Here’s the science:

Kids heal faster because their bones are constantly growing. 🌱

They don’t need perfect alignment—bones naturally adjust as they grow. 🦴🔧

Post-surgery, their joints regain movement much quicker than adults. 🚀

👨‍⚕️ As an orthopedic surgeon, it’s incredible to see the resilience of young bones every day! 💙 If you’re curious about fracture recovery or bone health, stick around for more fascinating insights. 🩺

Associated injury to the brachial plexus or subclavian vessels requiring urgent intervention.

4. Non-Union or Malunion ❌🛠️

Failure of the fracture to heal or healing in a deformed alignment affecting shoulder function.

5. Segmental or Comminuted Fractures 💔📏

Complex fractures with multiple fragments causing instability.
