Dr. Alexa Karkenny recently attended the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

She presented during an educational session on multidisciplinary quality improvement initiatives for children with complex healthcare needs, reconnected with colleagues advancing cerebral palsy care across the U.S., and shared research on “The Impact of Palliative Care in Neuromuscular Scoliosis Patients Undergoing Spinal Fusion.”

For Dr. Lauren Crocco, teaching the next generation of orthopedic surgeons is one of the most rewarding parts of her career. Each week, she leads Tuesday morning education sessions with residents, creating a space for learning, questions, and shared growth.

“Resident education is a real passion of mine,” she says. “The residents bring so much energy to your day. They ask questions you haven’t thought about and make you look at surgeries in new ways.”

In addition to her work with residents, Dr. Crocco also mentors medical students at Einstein through ongoing training sessions and mentorship programs. These opportunities allow students to gain hands-on experience, explore their interests in orthopedics, and connect with mentors who guide them along their medical journey.

At Montefiore Einstein, we’re proud to cultivate an environment where curiosity, collaboration, and teaching thrive, because when we invest in education, we invest in better care for our patients and the future of medicine.

“We think of ourselves as half pediatrician, half surgeon — which makes us a little different and stand out from the rest of orthopedics,” says Dr. Alexa Karkenny, Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon at Montefiore Einstein.

After completing her residency here and fellowship in Philadelphia, Dr. Karkenny returned to join the same team that trained her. Today, she collaborates with her mentors as colleagues, tackling complex cases together with teamwork, compassion, and innovation — all in the place she calls home.

🎥 Hear more from Dr. Karkenny about why she chose Montefiore Einstein and what makes this community so special.

Dr. Mitchell Fourman specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery - a philosophy focused on achieving the same results with less disruption to the body. From emphasizing non-surgical treatments like therapy and injections to using advanced techniques such as endoscopy, robotics, and 3D imaging, Dr. Fourman and his team are redefining what recovery looks like.

Smaller incisions. Less pain. Faster healing.
That’s the future of spine care at Montefiore Einstein.

Dr. Mani Kahn presented at this year’s sold out Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Annual Meeting on the use of internal lengthening nails in post-traumatic reconstruction — highlighting innovative approaches to correcting limb-length discrepancies, fracture nonunions, and bone defects. His session explored how this technology is transforming complex trauma care and making advanced reconstruction more accessible to surgeons and patients alike.

Montefiore Einstein was proud to once again serve as a host site for the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) International Traveling Fellowship Program, one of just 18 institutions across the country selected for this honor.

This year, we welcomed three international hand surgeons:
🩺 Dr. Valeriu Buga from the Medius Clinic
🩺 Dr. Usama Omar from Khoo Teck Puat Hospital
🩺 Dr. Shadi Saleh from Meir Medical Center

During their visit, the fellows observed a complex combined nerve and muscle transfer reconstruction for a 4-year-old patient who traveled from West Africa for care under Dr. Steven Koehler, and participated in our multidisciplinary Brachial Plexus Clinic, the only one of its kind in the Tri-State Area.

Our Brachial Plexus Program treats more than 150 children each year, performing over 40 brachial plexus surgeries in 2025 alone, in addition to numerous advanced nerve and reconstructive procedures.

We’re honored to share our expertise, exchange knowledge, and help advance the field of hand and nerve surgery worldwide.
