Fun cases:
- DDH (developmental dysplasia of hip) : bilateral Pembertons (iliac osteotomy and bone graft wedge)
- SCFE (slipped capital femoral epiphysis): femur osteotomy and derotation
- Club foot anterior tibial tendon transfer onto cuneiform (no heel cord lengthening)
- Myelomeningocele kid: Right femur and left tibia derotation
- Neurofibromatosis 1 + flat foot: midfoot osteotomy, CC joint fusion, calcaneal neck lengthening (no peroneal tendon lengthening)
- Unicameral bone cyst: iliac crest bone marrow aspiration + injection with ETEX (demineralized bone matrix) into cyst
- Cavovarus reconstruction: midfoot osteotomy (m/l cuneiform, cuboid osteotomy), plantar fascia/scar tissue dissection
- Open both bone fracture of forearm. Rx: OR washout, ORIF + Nancy nails. Got to help reduce and hammer one in!
- Septic elbow - I&D
- Of course, a lot of spika casts for babies with DDH, supracondylar humerus (elbow) fractures that require reduction via flexion and pinning + casting and ankle fractures (SH-4, bimaleolar) requiring reduction and screws. Yay for getting to reduce an elbow fracture!
