Скачать или смотреть Operation FUBAR: I Bet You Can't Do That!

In Episode 2 of Operation FUBAR, Dr. Ben Feibel (adult hip & knee reconstruction, Louisiana) walks us through a case that began with a familiar challenge — “I bet you can’t fix that” — and evolved into a humbling sequence of decisions, revisions, and hard-earned lessons.

One thing that makes Operation FUBAR different: I don’t see the cases ahead of time. No slides. No roadmap. That’s intentional — so the reactions, questions, and conversation can stay spontaneous and genuine. 🎧✨

This episode explores reconstruction after a prior Girdlestone procedure, recurrent instability, and the moment when a case shifts from what can be done to what needs to be done. It’s also an honest look at the emotional weight that complications can carry — especially early in practice.

What we cover 🧠🔧
• Complex reconstruction after prior Girdlestone + significant shortening
• Anterior approach considerations in challenging anatomy and tight soft tissues
• Early instability and recurrent dislocation
• Escalation strategy: length/offset changes, dual mobility, modular stems
• Advanced imaging (CT) and robotic-assisted cup placement (Mako)
• Patient counseling when complications accumulate 💬
• The “warrior mindset” vs. surgical restraint ⚖️

Why this matters 🎯

This isn’t a victory lap. It’s a real conversation about judgment under pressure, humility, and the importance of talking openly about complications and limitations — because that honesty is part of the work.
