Sclerotic fractures on CT are often described as 'remote' or 'chronic' because it's something that can be said pretty confidently. Unfortunately this descriptor sometimes ignores other salient features, such as a hypotrophic nonunion cleft with pain >6 months after injury.

Even with SpineJack, cement must fill across the midline of the vertebral body. If it isn't behaving (rarely happens), a high parapedicular access is a great way to add that necessary cement to the center.
bipedicular Jacks + uniparapedicular access = #trilateral baby!

Trilateral access to the vertebral body used to fill a stubborn-to-fill center portion of the vertebral body. Jacob Fleming, MD Dana Dunleavy, MD Dan Nguyen M.D. Wayne Olan Society of Interventional Radiology ASIPP ASPN

You are not paying relief to us, you are paying what you owe us. And you should be compensating us for your incompetence.

Study the spinal imaging before surgery. It may be too late during surgery.

I love a good US-guided injection, but for wrist (STT+1st CMC), I can't see myself going back from fluoro. This can be done from one skin puncture with a 25G needle.
USG w/1 puncture could be done, but I also like STT arthrograms—lots of variant anatomy.

Dr. Longissimus My sense is it’s so hard to get into medical school that people are having to get more and more degrees and accomplishments to get in.

More interesting is that no matter how accomplished they are coming in, the system will still beat all hope, optimism, and empathy out of them.

So proud of my wife and son for their first commercial duet! How adorable are they?!
