Chronic gout, and years of wear n tear from hauling the mail, on foot, in this 60 yo male!
I have not seen a lot of tophaceous gout at the TN, but this fellar had a nice collection of cottage cheese at the dorsum of the joint intra-op.. Pain at dorsal TN, and with STJ range of motion. Particularly, middle facet degeneration. ….Just a nice simple Gastroc recession, TN tidy up, and ST arthrodesis.
He was back carrying mail in 12 weeks.
Welcome - Kelly Peasley, FNP!
She is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She joined our practice at Hancock Ortho in May. She sees patients in clinic on Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
She has practice experience in primary care, urgent care, and long term care. Prior to becoming an NP, she was an RN in surgery for over 10 years at both Level 1 trauma centers, and community hospitals. She’s happy to return to her surgery roots, and ditch the ophthalmoscope. She is in surgery with Dr. Adams and Co. Mon, Wed, and Friday. Hancock Ortho is lucky to have Kelly’s experience, and knowledge. When she’s not holding retractors and seeing patients, you can find her driving and cheering for her 3 daughters on and off the ball fields, and courts.

This 40 yo female presented to ED after falling over baby gate inebriated. Pt was splinted, then subluxed in our office once splint was removed to eval skin. We performed hematoma block, closed reduced, and splinted again, then transferred her back to ED for admission as hospitalist would not accept direct admit. Pt has paroxysmal A Fib and needed d/c of eliquis prior to surgery, and was not good candidate to go home. We performed ORIF inpatient, prone, then finished supine, 5 days after fracture. Pt has done excellent.
On the CT’s if you look close, her medial mall was mildly comminuted which is why we chose to use plate for fixation, …and a secondary independent lag screw to capture the tiny avulsed piece of anterior colliculus that was loose. As usual the fibula hardware very much precludes good visualization of the post mall reduction….Our rec is to dissect PM, reduce fibula (temp fixation only), go back and fixate PM to visualize good reduction, then definitively fixate fib to allow good visualization….That sequence, or a dry scope through posterior capsule help ensure good reduction…
Sometimes unusual stories walk in/limp in.
This 50 yo male was referred from another facility a couple hours away. 30 years ago he sustained shotgun blast to the leg. He went to the Detroit trauma center, and with free flaps, external fixation (6+ months), extensive inpatient care, and an ankle fusion he was able to salvage his leg, and ankle with a little stiffness, and jewelry to show off.
He came to us with painful STJ motion, and a lack there of.
Really straight forward case with the exception of going medial to stay out of his flaps laterally.
This worked well thankfully, and thus far his skin is healing beautifully.
