As an orthopedic surgeon, I spend most days helping others get back to the activities they love… so this year I made sure I committed to one of my own. I completed an Ironman on November 1st, and tomorrow I’ll be lifting only a fork! 😅🦃
Grateful for health, perseverance, and all the people who help make big goals possible!

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. ⚙️💉

Whether you’re just getting started or chasing a new PR, here are some expert-backed tips to keep you running strong (and safe!) this summer:

✅ Pick a Race- Set a goal to stay motivated and make training fun.
🔥 Avoid the Heat- Run early or late, hydrate well, and respect that Louisiana sun.
🏅 Get a Coach- Someone like Coach Franks or my coach Jessica Jones can personalize your plan and keep you on track.
🚴 Cross Train- Swim, bike, or lift to build balanced, injury-resistant strength.
🧘‍♀️ Stretch- Prioritize dynamic warm-ups and post-run recovery to prevent injury.
🩺 Listen to Your Body- Don’t ignore warning signs-small pains can turn into big setbacks.

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!
