ITS SPRING(ish) so here are the final, super informal and probably incomplete results of our biannual “how kids got hurt in Western NL” poll for fall/winter Bad year for our nemesis Skidoo. Those things cause bad injuries! @NL_HealthServ

Congratulations to @MUNMed cc4s on their match day. I am so proud of you all and you were one of my favourite classes yet.
Uh “Fortnite” should be “dirtbike” I am aware Fortnite cannot cause broken bones
Time for our biannual “how kids got fractured!” Spring and summer edition 2025 Happy to see low numbers of ATV and Fortnite but noticing a lot more ebike and e-scooter so next year we will separate that out. @NL_HealthServ #cornerbrook
Thanks @Qball085 for helping collect the data!
Our local rates of hip fracture are up 30% in the last 5 years, following similar trends
Well... there's an increasing amount of that going around. If this is the *start* of a trend, it is *very bad*.

Post-COVID-19 Femoral Head Osteonecrosis Exhibits Mast Cell Clusters, Fibrosis, and Vascular Thrombosis: Key Pathological Mechanisms in Long COVID-19 Bone Degeneration 🔥For many a new #LC presentation needing THR(Total Hip Replacement)😲 ➡️'Оsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common condition in hip surgery, which is characterized by the death of bone cells due to disruption of the blood supply and ultimately irreversible destruction of the hip joint.' ➡️'As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant INCREASE in the incidence of ONFH has been identified.' ➡️'Data suggest that the key morphological biomarkers that trigger the main molecular and cellular mechanisms in the development of post-COVID-19 ONFH are clusters of mast cells, extensive areas of fibrosis, numerous arterial and venous thrombi, and giant cell granulomas.' ➡️'At the same time, the leading players are probably mast cells, which, when interacting with the COVID-19 virus, undergo excessive hyperplasia, activation and degranulation.' ➡️'The factors released by mast cells, in turn, increase inflammation, affect bone and cartilage metabolism, cause blood vessel dysfunction and thrombosis, and contribute to the development of fibrosis, thereby stimulating and facilitating the development of osteonecrosis of the femur.' ➡️'Our results demonstrate that the accumulation and activation of mast cells is a feature of the pathogenesis of post-COVID-19 osteonecrosis and can be considered as a diagnostic sign of this disease. ‼️Anybody needing a THR today, should be screened! It may only be the tip of a far broader #LC problem! mdpi.com/1873-149X/32/3…

Wait times at Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s this past weekend.
💃 don’t get covid if you’re a surgeon💃 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@SheriLeeChamber It’s good to see them making friends tho so I think the benefits outweigh the risks there
I’m calling it! Fall/Winter is over and so concludes our “reasons kids broke their bones” seasonal non scientific tick board. Happy to once again see high energy skidoo injuries were low!
@AidenGBrazil @sslipp Hahaha yes but the “gravity” section is gonna win
@Winsor32 Hahaha the adult one would be much scarier but also much more gravity related
Happy match day to @MUNMed grads, most of all to the six excellent students who matched to WestFam!
👏 great choice, glad that the health accord should be implemented

@BoluOgunyemi1 congrats Bolu! Very proud of you and I know you’ll be great
@sslipp It does always win tho that’s one thing that’s true.
Sometimes I change the lyrics of the second verse of Fake Plastic Trees so that it’s about hip fractures. #radiohead “She used to do surgery For girls in their 80s But gravity always wins And it wears her out It wears her out”
