As a resident how did you? As an attending how do you now?
Residency: Show up and let the attending do the case.Residency: read relevant section of McGlamrys or Podiatry Institute chapters or Easley Operative Techniques of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
Attending: show up and let proctor do the case.
Didn't know about those. Will look into it. Agree about McGlam's. Content is decent. Verbage for the sake of pomp and circumstance makes it long to decipher through.Easly for elective and some trauma
Rockford and green for trauma
Never liked McGlamrys. Too wordy. Info that could be stated in 1 paragraph is 6 paragraphs to get to the point.
Why was this so funnyResidency: Show up and let the attending do the case.

Foot and Ankle surgery academy is very good. I find videos to be more beneficial than just reading.
Pretty accurateAs a resident: sometimes I would look at the X-rays pre op if I wasn’t too tired but that’s about it. I would just stroll into the case and then zone out while holding the retractors
As an attending: I’ll watch a clip on YouTube on my phone of the surgery I plan on attempting while I wait for anesthesia to put the patient to sleep.
Attending: Easy case - maybe a red bull or 2 and burrito from the gas station. Then time for surgery. Usually reread the consent so I know what I am supposed to be doing. I also change the image to inverted and print it out and tape it up in the room. Inverting makes me feel important.
Hard case - I don't prepare at all, have a glass of soy milk before the case then usually bail halfway through and ask Ortho to come finish for me and I sit in the corner and watch. Then go Home and do the same thing when my neighbor Big Jon comes over.
They do some **** pretty weird though.Foot and Ankle surgery academy is very good. I find videos to be more beneficial than just reading.
have it. just seems dated.View attachment 372282
Walks you through step by step with images. Works nice as a refresher before cases.
Books always do. They go over the proven ways to do things that have studied solid outcomes, long term results.have it. just seems dated.

I was paying too much for Foot and Ankle Surgery Academy, but think I'm gonna screen capture the good stuff from there and cancel it to switch to this.Recently found Orthoracle.com
Seems legit. 5k CME money yearly I got to spend it somewhere. 100 bucks for annual subscription let's do it.

tough but fair, some stuff on there I've shared I don't do anymoreThey do some **** pretty weird though.
can't stop you, I'm honored that our videos made it to this conversation and is worth your effort to screen capture. I've seen orthoracle before, I remember it being high quality images, but didn't see any video, has that changed? I'd love to learn more about what works and what doesntI was paying too much for Foot and Ankle Surgery Academy, but think I'm gonna screen capture the good stuff from there and cancel it to switch to this.
It's high quality stuff and ya'll do a good job. It's just not really a sustainable price on a monthly basis unless someone's got excess CME money they're trying to burn or something.I'm honored that our videos made it to this conversation and is worth your effort to screen capture.
Welcome Dr. Chiu!tough but fair, some stuff on there I've shared I don't do anymore

How is that stab release of the distal plantar fascia going?tough but fair, some stuff on there I've shared I don't do anymore
You talking about the one with the needle or the blade?How is that stab release of the distal plantar fascia going?
Thank you! I think value is interesting to bring up, some people won't watch our videos even if we give it to them for free, others would willingly pay more than what FASA charges. Then there's folks who would spend loads on expensive jewelry, watches, cars, but may be stingy with their medical education. There isn't a perfect price we can pick, but we do have to charge something in order to keep producing content. We are working on partnering with someone to offer CME eventually, and wow is that process complex and expensive, check the CPME website if you're curiousIt's high quality stuff and ya'll do a good job. It's just not really a sustainable price on a monthly basis unless someone's got excess CME money they're trying to burn or something.
Thanks! Long time lurker hereWelcome Dr. Chiu!
It's good, definitely a fail on flat foot and morbidly obese patients, i'll still offer it with that disclaimer. I'll look at my data again next year for a larger case series. Probably different journal though, FASTRAC charges $700 for authors to publish :/How is that stab release of the distal plantar fascia going?
I do it with the needle, but I started doing it with a blade. Both have had success and both have had failures, doesn't really matter which technique you use, just easier for patients to agree to it when it's done with a needle. I know @Feli isn't a fan of the procedure and that's okay, new procedures and ideas will always have support and criticism. Both are needed for progress.You talking about the one with the needle or the blade?
