Only 1/3 of ASIA B incomplete SCI will be able to walk again. My pt presented w/ paralysis with some sensation from a T12 burst fracture and flexion distraction injury. T12 corpectomy with T10-L2 fusion. Look who walked into clinic forpost op! #neurosurgery #spinalcordinjury

I have been up all night thinking about this. We are in a very sad state over in academia land. It doesn’t feel safe. I don’t feel protected. And, I am tired of grieving.

Excited for this opportunity in Phoenix. Working at a level 1 trauma I treat a lot of spinal cord injuries. Will be nice to refer them.

Calcified thoracic disk. Nothing makes my heart flutter more than that final tap of the calcified disk into the corpectomy cavity and making sure I didn’t lose motor signals. 😨😰🥵 #neurosurgery #spinesurgery #blackgirlmagic

My Black Job board certified neurosurgeon. It’s 2024 and they are still trying to paint the narrative that we are less than, uneducated, inferior. Save me the BS they not like us. #myblackjob #blackjob #blackgirlmagic #neurosurgeon

OPLL 50yoM with BUE weakness, myelopathic symptoms and gait instability. Would you do anterior? Posterior? Combined? Before you ask there is severe stenosis C3-5 moderate stenosis from C5-7. Also…I already completed. Would like to know others thoughts.

Follow up, C4 corp C3-T2 PSF. I was concerned about ventral compression with going post only. In my hands I feel safe using the ultrasonic sonopet instead of the drill to kind of paint away the bone. Most importantly I had the tough conversation with him and his wife of the risks

Patient had C2 pars fx, 2 mos prior to seeing me. C2/3 fusion mass and prev hardware made fun ☹️ back front back, C2/3 PCO to mobilize b/c locked in, ACDF C2/3 and with traction she reduced finally, then I backed her up. Tedious but satisfying. #spinesurgery #neurosurgery
