A nice look into Lionel's safe. Is that the necklace Lionel gave Martha in #Arrow? Wasn't that stolen and Green Arrow returned it though? Nice bit of continuity: Lionel was reading "Beyond Good & Evil" in #Suspect. And there is no better description of him. ImageImageImage

An in-depth review of Tibial Pilon Fractures.

If you’re interested in orthopedics, you’ll definitely want to check this review out.

🦴⚒️🧵👇

Most tibial pilon fractures result from high-energy axial loading through the talus.

They are also commonly referred to as Tibial Plafond fractures. The tibial plafond is the distal articular surface of the tibia, which gained the name from its French meaning, "ceiling". Image
The term tibial pilon was first used by Étienne Destot in 1911 to describe the interaction of the distal tibia and talus during axial loading.

Pilon is the French term for "pestle".

The term was later adopted as a term for vertical impaction fractures of the distal tibia. Image

An in-depth review of Humeral Shaft Fractures.

If you’re interested in orthopedics, you’ll definitely want to check this review out!

The humeral shaft is defined as the area distal to the surgical neck and proximal to the epicondyles.

The commonality of fracture is:
Middle ⅓ > Proximal ⅓ > Distal ⅓ shaft

The deforming forces of humeral shaft fractures usually result in what type of deformity?
Due to the muscular pull of the deltoid on the proximal fragment and medial/superior pull on the distal fragment, humeral shaft fractures tend to develop varus angulation.

Humeral shaft fractures are forgiving, and modest angulation can be overcome by the shoulders' large ROM. Image

An in-depth review of Proximal Humerus Fractures.

If you're interested in orthopedics you won't want to miss this one!

🦴⚒️🧵👇

To view our past reviews visit: myorthoreviews.com
Proximal humerus fractures are common, accounting for around 5% of all fractures with increasing frequency with age.

They are most common in elderly females and are considered a fragility fracture.

Which nerve is most commonly injured in proximal humerus fractures?
The axillary nerve passes medial to the surgical neck and is most commonly injured in proximal humerus fractures.

Sensation testing over the lateral shoulder may be performed as deltoid testing may be difficult.

Which artery provides the main blood supply to the humeral head?

An in-depth review of Clavicle Fractures.

If you're interested in orthopedics you won't want to miss this one!

🦴⚒️🧵👇
Clavicle fractures are typically the result of a fall onto the shoulder and are one of the most common fractures in children.

They may also occur from direct trauma, seizures, or a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH).
The clavicle serves as the connection between the UE and axial skeleton.

It is the first bone to ossify and the last to fuse. It is S-shaped and widest medially.

Most fractures occur in the middle 1/3rd, roughly 80%, which is the thinnest segment.

An in-depth review of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE).

If you're interested in orthopedics or pediatrics you'll definitely want to check this review out!

1/ Image
SCFE’s are an adolescent hip pathology with an average age of onset of 11-12.

The diagnosis may be initially missed because the patient may present with thigh or knee pain.
Risk factors include:
✯ Obesity
✯ Male gender
✯ Prior radiation
✯ Endocrine abnormalities
✯ Certain ethnicities (e.g. African American)

Obesity is one of the most important and modifiable risk factors.

Starting my annual ritual of live-tweeting my reading of the @CondeNast @voguemagazine #SeptemberIssue Predictions: even MORE Carefully Calibrated Diversity; ageist fetishization of youth; huge amount of adspend wasted looking like everyone else; the theme #newbeginnings won't be
Separate to the fact the cover is extraordinarily visually non-compelling, why models YET AGAIN, @condenast @voguemagazine? I want to see real world women on your cover, with real world bodies, real world age, real world achievements. Especially Black women #SeptemberIssue
The big @condenast @voguemagazine #SeptemberIssue inside cover gatefold spot is taken by @RalphLauren. No, Ralph, featuring Black models doesn't make you anti-racist. Changing the fact you don't have any Black talent on your leadership team does: corporate.ralphlauren.com/leadership
