When the doctor becomes the patient

Mzuzu Central Hospital

Wonderful 2 weeks in Malawi at the Mzuzu Central Hospital and one Orthopaedic surgeon,Dr. Bitiel Banda, who serves more than 2.3 million people. Thanks to the Mzuzu Orthopaedic Support & Training (MOST) team, the Harvard Global Orthopaedic Collaborative (HGOC), and Foundation of Orthopaedic Trauma (FOT) for including me in their mission. I have made life long friendships and we have helped innumerable Malawian people.

The second wall faller case of this weekend landed on his side and it was significantly worse than the patient which fell on their butt. A both column posterior wall with a 3 piece segmental posterior column fixed through an extended iliofemoral approach with a greater trochanter osteotomy. Will receive 700cGy radiation to abductors post op to significantly decrease heterotopic ossification. Stay tuned for post op views after the case!

Last night's case was challenging—an MVA involving a pedestrian. The car emerged as the winner, resulting in an anterior column posterior hemitransverse pattern. Interestingly, there's a segmental posterior column, technically classifying it as a Both Column case. This complexity necessitates an extended iliofemoral approach, colloquially referred to as a "shark bite" by my wife. The reduction appears satisfactory.

Treating a resilient 60+ individual with a challenging MVC. Managed a comminuted left sacral fracture, symphysis disruption, and fractures in the left superior and inferior rami, with a bone elevation of over 5 cms. Strengthened with ORIF posterior using 6.5mm screws, followed by anterior plating. Now headed to LA.

60 y/o who had a proximal femur fracture 1 1/2 year ago that never felt right. The patient has 85 degree varus hip with over an inch of shortening and worsening pain, as well as a broken TFN with nonunion malunion of the hip. There is a big hole where the lag screw was and at the nonunion site. 50 degree osteotomy and 95 degree blade plate and 135 degree hip reduction

Fascinating cases today: tackled a posterior wall injury in a drunk driver (usually, it's the other way around with the person hit being injured). Also, addressed a significant challenge with a big man experiencing his first seizure in 7 years, resulting in a shoulder fracture dislocation and a massive Hill-Sachs lesion in a 30-year-old. Managed to deal with glenoid notching in the humeral head by placing the greater and lesser tuberosities into the defect using a cortical figure-of-8 technique

Wrapped up two cases by the wall at the early departure from OTA in Seattle. First patient: bilateral plafonds, closed one exchanged the ex fix, and performed ORIF on plafond and fibula. Second patient had an open wound; conducted ORIF on the fibula, exchanged the ex fix, and planning ORIF post skin recovery (around 6 weeks). Also, addressed a iliacus hematoma infected with MRSA, debrided, and inserted a potent mix of antibiotic and antifungal beads. Note: The second patient had a fall causing the iliac abscess two weeks prior.

Conducted the second stage of a 3-stage pelvic malunion correction today. In the initial stage one week ago, performed anterior sacral and right superior and inferior osteotomy, dealing with 1 liter blood loss and labile blood pressure. This time around, secured the left pelvis to the table, executed a posterior osteotomy of the sacrum, and carried out ORIF of the pelvis. Mid-flip, encountered a challenge as the screws posteriorly lost reduction, prompting a front-facing adjustment – shifted them to S1 and S2. Subsequently, plated the rami, working with notably challenging osteoporotic bone, and brought it down 3 cm, hopeful for proper healing. Next stop: Italy, where I'll be heading for a pelvic course to share insights and lessons on avoiding cases like this.

A faller off a ladder who I had to go in through the anterior wall fracture (middle window of the ilioinquinal)to reduce some impacted pieces to a reduced femoral head and back it up with some calcium phosphate and a screw

09/06/2023

Another case from a trip to El Paso for an incomplete posterior column wall with 2 impacted articular pieces and a number of free articular pieces. I used Stryker bone source for impaction, 5 hole 88 mm radius of curvature, and 2 lag screws
