Perception and Usage of Social Media Among Women in Orthopaedics.

Introduction: The use of social media for marketing, education, and networking has increased among orthopaedic surgeons. Social media has played an important role in supporting women physicians and trainees, by allowing connections to be made across stages of training and geographic borders. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of female orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, residents, and medical students regarding their usage of social media.

Reduction Techniques in Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures.

Distal radius fractures are the most common upper extremity fracture and volar locking plate fixation has become a common modality for operative management of these injuries over the last 2 decades. However, despite the widespread use of volar locking plates, there remains no comprehensive guide detailing the available reduction techniques using these systems. This review aims to consolidate the reduction techniques from the literature along with the authors' experiences into a blueprint for distal radius fracture reduction when using a volar plate.
