When your surgical scar heals too well... 🤷‍♀️ One of my patients came in yesterday with this creative tattoo next to his incision. He wanted a more dramatic surgical scar— so he added some extra stitches for dramatic effect! 😃
I love seeing the personality and humor my patients bring into the healing process. Medicine meets art!

📸 ORIF of a Jones Fracture with Autologous Bone Graft 💀🦶
Today’s case: A Jones fracture — a break at the base of the 5th metatarsal — known for its high risk of nonunion due to limited blood supply in this area.
To optimize healing, I performed an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), supplemented with a bone graft harvested from the patient’s own calcaneus. Using autologous grafting increases the chance of union. ⚙️💉

Many of my patients know triathlons are one of my favorite ways to stay active—and most take place in the warmer months. These are the same strategies I use to train smart and stay healthy.

This little piggy had a TOE-tally unexpected injury. My patient made a same day appointment with me and I manipulated his TOE— right in the office, no surgery needed! TOE-day was a good day.

He came in with a crooked TOE… and left with a TOE-rific realignment.

💥 Distal Fibula Fracture - Treated with a Fibular Nail

This patient sustained a distal fibula fracture that required surgical intervention. Given their medical comorbidities, I opted for a fibular nail that goes inside of the bone instead of a traditional plate and screw construct that sits on the side of the bone.

👉 Why a fibular nail?
-Smaller incisions = less soft tissue disruption
-Lower infection risk
-Allows earlier weight bearing
-Also ideal for patients with complex medical profiles

Simple, effective, and gets patients moving sooner- that’s the goal!

🔪 Patient Story: Knife Injury and Tendon Reconstruction🦶

This week, I had the privilege of treating a patient who suffered an injury after dropping a knife on his foot resulting in a laceration. At first, the damage wasn’t fully recognized by the patient, and overtime, after he realized that he could no longer lift his great toe it was determined that he had a laceration of his Extensor Hallucis Longus (EHL) tendon- a crucial tendon required to lift the great toe.

Due to the chronicity of his injury a cadaver graft was necessary to restore function and repair the tendon. The procedure went smoothly, and I’m confident that this will get him back on his feet (literally!)

Had the honor of speaking at the U-High women’s soccer banquet this week! ⚽️🏆 These girls were state runner ups this season.

My speech, “The Power of Perseverance: Lessons from the Field and the Operating Room,” focused on the resilience needed both in sports and in life, and how overcoming challenges can lead to growth, whether you’re on the soccer field or in the recovery room.

The athletes and coaches I met this week exemplify the incredible strength and determination it takes to succeed, and it was inspiring to see so many young women dedicated to both their sport and their health.

Keep pushing through the tough moments, and remember- every setback is an opportunity for a comeback. 💪 # girlpower
