Closed tendon injuries, dislocations and fractures are among the more common sports related hand injuries. Due to initial swelling and pain, these injuries may sometimes be deceptively difficult to diagnose. Often effective treatment is relatively simple and nonoperative but must be instituted in a timely manner in order to minimize complications. It is also important to recognize when surgical referral is required. Dr. David Netscher discusses several topics, including:  -- Phalangeal and metacarpal fractures -- MP and PIP joint dislocations -- Closed tendon injuries -- Tendinopathies

In the episode, Erica explores the strategic use of open and closed-chain exercises for upper extremity dysfunction. She discusses the distinct benefits and applications of each type of movement, shedding light on how these exercises can be tailored to meet specific needs to enhance performance.  She uses an example of a tennis player who suffered from right shoulder pain with radiculopathy. She also tackles the critical question of when to load open-chain versus closed-chain exercises, offering practical guidelines based on the stage of recovery and individual progress.  OKC can be very difficult for someone who has a true shoulder driver. Based on her experience with these patients, most people who play an overhead sport, display a lot of compression in their upper rib cage and shoulder joint. This can masquerade as "thoracic outlet syndrome" or "rotator cuff strain" when it's a movement pattern created by their sport carried over to all life events.  By understanding the principles of load management and exercise progression for open and closed-chain exercises, listeners will gain valuable insights into prioritizing certain movements during the rehab process.   A glance at this episode: [2:28] Physical therapy for tennis player with shoulder and rib compression [5:58] Manual therapy techniques for shoulder issues [11:15] Progressing patients through closed-chain exercises [15:38] Rehabilitation techniques for chronic pain   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript

Military Medicine & WarDocs present: "A Ready Medical Force Special Collection" MILMED-D-21-00643: “Upper Extremity Vascular Exposures for Trauma: Comparative Performance Outcomes for General Surgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons” EPISODE SUMMARY Discover the critical skills Military General and Orthopedic Surgeons need to confidently diagnose and manage upper extremity vascular injuries on and off the battlefield. Our conversation with Dr. Pamela Andreatta, Director of Surgical Skills Assessment at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, reveals the importance of courses like ASSET+ and the Combat Orthopedic Trauma Surgical Course in training and assessing readiness. We dive deep into the factors influencing the performance of military surgeons and assess the pre-training scores of Military General Surgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons. Listen in as Dr. Andreatta breaks down how experience and the volume of operative practice impact success in managing these complex injuries. We also discuss the challenges military teams face when integrating into operational teams, and how pre-deployment and post-deployment rehearsals ensure the maintenance of critical capabilities. Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we emphasize the importance of good research in Military Medicine and explore the complexities of maintaining preparedness and readiness in the field. EPISODE CHAPTERS (0:00:01) - Preparing Surgeons for Battlefield Vascular Injuries (0:12:12) - Assessing Surgical Training and Performance (0:24:25) - Maintaining Critical Medical Team Capabilities   EPISODE CHAPTER SUMMARIES (0:00:01) - Preparing Surgeons for Battlefield Vascular Injuries (12 Minutes) We explore the preparedness of Military General Surgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons to confidently deal with upper extremity vascular injuries in battlefield settings. To assess readiness and train critical expeditionary procedural skills, we discuss the importance of courses like ASSET+ and the Combat Orthopedic Trauma Surgical Course. Dr. Andreatta discusses her Military Medicine paper, “Upper Extremity Vascular Exposures for Trauma: Comparative Performance Outcomes for General Surgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons”. We look back at the recent high op tempo time in OIF and OEF and consider the likelihood of encountering extremity vascular injuries in Role II MTFs and below. We discuss the importance of preparedness to recognize and control peripheral vascular bleeds to save lives and limbs. (0:12:12) - Assessing Surgical Training and Performance (12 Minutes) We investigate the pre-training scores of Military General Surgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons, exploring the factors that could influence the performance of these medical professionals. The sample was largely homogeneous and consisted of junior personnel with limited deployment experience, though it was found that the more experienced surgeons with a higher volume of operative practice tended to perform better. We also discuss the determination of the benchmark score, and how it is rooted in measurement science and clinical medicine. Lastly, we learn that although the Orthopedic Surgeons did not reach the benchmark at baseline, the quality of the surgeons and the fact that they are able to recognize performance gaps allows them to work on improving their skills. (0:24:25) - Maintaining Critical Medical Team Capabilities (6 Minutes) We discuss the challenges military teams face when integrating into operational teams and the necessity of individual professional role capabilities. We also discuss the need for pre-deployment and post-deployment rehearsals, and the importance of providing resources for military surgeons to maintain their abilities. Finally, we explore the potential of pre-planning through videos and reading to reduce the "Walker dip" between deployments.   EPISODE KEYWORDS  Military Medicine, Battlefield Vascular Injuries, Surgical Training, Performance, Medical Team Capabilities, Pre-Deployment Rehearsals, Post-Deployment Rehearsals, Dr. Pamela Andreatta, Asset Plus, Combat Orthopedic Trauma Surgical Course, Operative Practice, Junior Personnel, Deployment Experience, Benchmark Score, Measurement Science, Clinical Medicine, Walker Dip, Journal of Military Medicine, WarDocs   #Military #Medical #Podcast #WarDocs #Orthopedics #Surgeon #GeneralSurgeon #Vascular #Injuries #MilitaryMedicine #Readiness #Training #Knowledge #Skills #Abilities #KSAs   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to improve military and civilian healthcare and foster patriotism by honoring the legacy, preserving the oral history, and showcasing military medicine career opportunities, experiences, and achievements.

Dr. Lattisha Bilbrew is an Orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in Hand and Upper Extremity surgery and the first Black women Orthopaedic Surgeon to become a partner at Resurgens Orthopaedics in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Bilbrew was born in Birmingham, England as were her parents. Her grandparents were farmers in Jamaica and migrated to England shortly after World War II. Only one generation removed from farming in the mountains of Trelawney and cleaning hospital bed linens in England, Dr. Bilbrew became the first physician in her family. Her motivating catalyst for becoming a physician was watching the mistreatment of her grandmother in an English hospital. Though her first observation of a hospital setting was witnessing racial disparities within a health care system, she was determined to be the antithesis of the physicians she observed. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1ratedbusinessshow/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1ratedbusinessshow/support
