When you sew in surgery just use good technique. Whether the thumb is in or out of the needle driver has little bearing on your skill set or outcomes. Some palm and some put fingers in the holes. Both work fine.
Had to rewrite this qt several times- check the comments and RTs from this to see a bunch of posers trying to teach/reprimand? a vascular surgery, cardiac surgery, AND pediatric cardiac surgery trained surgeon how to do a FASCIOTOMY 😂😂😂 y’all’s immaturity is embarrassing
Emergent fasciotomy to release the pressure built up under the muscle in the leg. Can lead to limb loss if not done expeditiously

I, a PGY7 surgical resident about to graduate in 3 days AND an avid practitioner of grammar policing, was just informed that “replete” is an adjective and not a verb. I am shook.

Great question Adam. I’ve used all. Younger I used PTFE ringed but I felt it created some mild dysphagia. Used getinge fusion once or twice, no real issues, except sewing it is a bit stiff. I’ve gone to Dacron (Terumo) for this last 2 years, my preferred. And you?
Glad that folks are finally talking about this! Preservation of mobility seems to be the real key, and what I explain to my patients. No point in losing your ability to walk while trying to heal a hail mary foot salvage.
Functional limb preservation should be our collective goal. The inability to ambulate and be mobile leads to an early death. @limbsalvagedr gets it 👊🏾👍🏾

How to parachute. It’s really an important technique to learn. The most important things to have. Long suture. 48 inch 4-0 BB for proximal anastomosis. I put 4-5 stitches in, then bring down graft. Especially useful in deep holes. 1st year fellow doing end to end to beveled aorta

PSA to all PAD interventionalists.
Please, please, PLEASE send for a surgical evaluation ANY patient with a long segment SFA-Pop occlusion and a proximal tibial that is open.
A full metal jacket from the CFA INTO the last tibial either leads to amp or a high risk bypass.

I’m going to be a surgeon!!!! Can’t wait for Friday!! #Match2024 #Generalsurgery
Surgically interesting thread.
This one is a bit hard on the heart, so trigger warning I guess.
Bit of an odd day. Our ranch hand was checking fences and found our resident bull elk down by the creek, unable to rise. He’s been living here for a couple months with a small group of ladies, and seemed content. He had a very slight limp, but otherwise seemed like a normal young bull.
