Here, residents don’t just see one type of case. They see everything.

From straightforward sports injuries to highly complex orthopedic conditions, the patient population in the Bronx exposes our residents to the full spectrum of care. That range matters. It builds sharper clinical judgment, stronger problem-solving skills, and real confidence in the operating room and clinic.

It’s what makes training here different. And why being an orthopedic resident in this program means learning from every level, every day.

From impactful lectures and international presentations to meaningful advancements in care, research, and innovation, this year was about progress at every level. Our team contributed to leading medical journals, shared knowledge on global stages, and continued to push the field forward through education, collaboration, and discovery.

But the real success is what happens every day right here in the Bronx. Providing high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care to our community is what drives everything we do. The wins in the operating room, the lectures, and the lab all matter because they translate to better outcomes for the people we serve.

We’re proud of the work, the growth, and the momentum, and we're grateful to be part of a community that continues to raise the bar. Here’s to building on it in the year ahead.

Recovery after joint replacement is often more straightforward than people expect. In many cases, patients are up and walking the same day, using a walker or cane for the first few weeks as strength and mobility return. Most people feel close to fully recovered within six to twelve weeks.

For patients who have lived with pain and stiffness for a long time and tried options like therapy, injections, or medications, surgery can be a turning point. With clear education, realistic expectations, and a plan that fits their life, recovery becomes a process they feel prepared for and confident in.

For Dr. Mitchell Fourman, choosing Montefiore Einstein turned into love at first sight. Caring for patients in the Bronx means meeting people where they are, earning trust, and practicing medicine that is deeply personal.

This isn’t assembly-line care or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s thoughtful, individualized treatment designed for a community with complex needs, delivered by physicians who take the time to listen.

That commitment to personalized care, human connection, and service to the Bronx is why Montefiore Einstein is more than just a workplace.

Following patients over a lifetime is one of the most meaningful parts of the work for Dr. Alexa Karkenny.

Dr. Karkenny specializes in caring for children with cerebral palsy, building long-term relationships with patients and families from the earliest milestones through adolescence and beyond. From first steps to future treatment decisions, her focus is helping families understand what’s ahead, feel supported, and feel less afraid of the unknown.

This is world class, compassionate care happening right here in the Bronx at Montefiore Einstein, where families receive expert pediatric orthopedic care close to home.

Highlights from the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Annual Meeting in Mexico City

An incredible few days connecting with leaders and collaborators from across the orthopedic oncology community. Dr. Bang Hoang, Chair of the MSTS Research Committee, shared updates on behalf of the committee and was introduced by Dr. Santiago Lozano-Calderon, orthopedic oncologist at Mass General Brigham and MSTS Annual Meeting Co-Chair.

We also saw Dr. Hoang present MSTS research awards and heard from Dr. Jichuan Wang, a former Musculoskeletal oncology research fellow and now faculty at People’s Hospital, Peking University in Beijing, whose work reflects the strength of our international collaborations. The meeting wrapped with inspiring leadership from Dr. Francis Lee, incoming MSTS President and Yale researcher, helping set the direction for the future of the field.

Grateful to be part of a global community advancing musculoskeletal tumor research and patient care together.

At Montefiore Einstein, our Orthopedic Oncology team specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal tumors across the full spectrum of complexity. Dr. David Geller explains that these conditions range from benign bone and soft tissue tumors to rare and aggressive cancers like sarcomas, which begin in muscle, bone, or connective tissue and require highly coordinated, specialized care.

The team also treats metastatic disease, when cancers such as lung cancer spread to the bone. These cases can lead to weakened bone or fractures, and timely orthopedic intervention becomes essential for restoring stability, function, and quality of life.

Orthopedic oncology spans every age group. Our clinicians care for both pediatric and adult patients, managing conditions that are often uncommon, intricate, and life-changing.

This is the work that keeps the team busy and deeply committed: providing expert, compassionate care for some of the most challenging diagnoses in musculoskeletal medicine.

Running doesn’t have to mean marathons to make an impact.

For Dr. Lomita, running is a powerful way to manage stress and stay healthy. And the benefits aren’t limited to elite athletes. A modest amount of exercise, even just two or three times a week, can improve physical health, reduce stress, and support overall well-being.

Consistency matters more than intensity. Move in a way that works for you, and let it add up over time.

Dr. Melinda Sharkey recently represented Montefiore Einstein at the 21st Annual IPOS Conference, joining more than 700 students, physicians, and practitioners from 29 countries.

Dr. Sharkey took the podium to educate attendees on bacteria and also participated in hands-on demonstrations, contributing to global collaboration and continued learning in orthopedic oncology.

At Montefiore Einstein Orthopedic Surgery, PA Rajeev Lekhram plays a key role in helping patients stay active and avoid surgery whenever possible. From cortisone and gel injections to tailored physical therapy plans, he works closely with patients managing hip arthritis, dysplasia, knee injuries, and other complex conditions.

His path to orthopedics started young. Growing up in the Bronx, his father brought him to Montefiore Einstein for care, and for years he thought it was the only hospital in the world. As he explored healthcare more deeply, one thing became clear. Montefiore Einstein was home. And coming back here to serve the community that shaped him has been, in his words, an honor.

“I see myself and my family in the patients we serve. My parents are immigrants and many of the people I care for come from similar backgrounds. I always try my best to give them the best care, the best advice, and help them however I can.”

Rajeev’s story is a reminder of what compassionate, community-rooted care looks like. And it’s at the heart of everything we do.
