Introduction

Welcome to my brand new Orthopedic blog.  I decided to start this space for several reasons, but I think a recent patient encounter helps shine light on the need better than anything. 

Often, patients will ask me about topics they have read on the internet from a variety of sources including blogs.  Actually the source that makes me cringe the most is the blog—unfiltered information from unchecked sources.  Scary! And that’s right where this particular patient had found themselves; up at night reading blogs about all the terrifying complications of surgery.

My family will tell you I have a bit of a worrying streak myself, so I can totally relate to this thirst for knowledge on a topic.  However, our now completely freaked out patient friend has read too much.  I found them the next day in a bad place, full of anxiety and misinformation.  That is when he/she encouraged me to start my own blog where I could put good information out to my patients and answer questions.

So, here we are--our new orthopedic frontier.  The Bare Bonez- an interactive forum where we can discuss ideas and share knowledge on a variety of topics.   I will write on some of the more commonly asked questions I get on a daily basis,  interesting new research coming out, and respond to feedback.  

Thanks for following and come back to check out my next topic…
