Surgery

I was able to scrub in for a very cool surgery yesterday! We had a patient who had torn her plantar plate of her 2nd toe. We went in and repaired it and used a graft to make up for the missing space. We did a flexor tendon transfer and a fusion of the 2nd toe. It was so fun! It made me excited to be going into such a cool surgical profession. Sitting in clinic and in class gets so old and you forget why you choose this to begin with. But, being in surgery was so fun I realized I picked the right thing for me. I love surgery! The picture below is of the graft being attached to the plantar plate! The hand at the top of the screen is mine!:)
