Dr. Weaver treats a periprosthetic femur fracture with the patient positioned supine on a fracture table using a cephalomedullary nail. The fracture table provides adequate traction to assist in reduction of the fracture.
Cloacal Exstrophy Repair
Jeremy B Wiygul MD Chief, Pediatric Urology; Assistant Professor Tufts Medical Center
Dr. Wiygul and colleagues take a multidisciplinary approach to treating a cloacal exstrophy, a rare congenital defect that is part of the OEIS complex: omphalocele, exstrophy of the cloaca, imperforate anus, and spine deformities.
Dr. Weaver treats a periprosthetic humeral spiral fracture using contoured plating. The posterolateral approach helps prevent dissection of the triceps for adequate exposure of the fracture.
Dr. Li addresses an ACL torn after a pivot shift incident using a BTB autograft. The anteromedial approach to ACL reconstruction offers the advantage of reliably reproducing the native anatomy of the ACL on the femur footprint by drilling the femoral tunnel independently of the tibial tunnel.
Dr. Gholve assists pediatric urology team at Tufts in treating a cloacal exstrophy by sequentially closing the pelvic ring with controlled osteotomies.
“I am a Podiatric Medical Student and future foot and ankle surgeon. I greatly appreciate the increase of more and more foot and ankle articles. Keep up the good work!”
“I’m a current 4th year medical student going into Orthopaedic Surgery. In preparation for residency, I began collecting various resources that I thought may aid my surgical education when I came across the Journal of Medical Insight. JoMI is, by far, one of the most amazing resources I’ve come across and I regret not discovering it earlier in my medical education. High definition video, consistent quality, a structured approach focused on teaching, and procedural outlines all make the platform extremely conducive to those in surgical training as well as medical students alike.”
“I am a medical illustrator at the Stanford School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, Division of Clinical Anatomy. I just learned about JoMI and have been very impressed by it so far. It has a nice interface, and I like how the videos are broken up into sections that can be jumped to easily. It would be a fantastic resource for surgical illustration.”
