Open 1st MPJ surgeries
Husband and Father. Podiatrist/Foot & Ankle Surgeon
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make life easier. Let’s see your simple tricks to make surgery easier.
I’ll start.

Let’s see what you all have. I want to learn your tricks!!!
In open 1st MPJ procedures, it's often the simple, repeatable techniques that have the biggest impact—streamlining steps, improving consistency, and boosting overall efficiency in the OR. Practical tips like this are a powerful reminder that small adjustments can make a big difference in surgical care.
At Surgzon, we love sharing practical, everyday techniques that elevate surgical efficiency and patient care.
