In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Niloofar Dehghan, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma and upper extremity surgeon, to take a deep dive into the evaluation and management of coronoid fractures, radial head fractures, and complex elbow instability.
Dr. Dehghan completed her orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Toronto, followed by fellowship training in Orthopaedic Trauma and Upper Extremity Reconstruction at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and Lower Extremity Reconstruction. She also earned a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Care Research from the University of Toronto and currently serves as an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona.
During our conversation, we discuss:
How to evaluate coronoid and radial head fractures
When a fracture can be treated nonoperatively versus when surgery is indicated
The role of fracture morphology in treatment planning
Terrible triad injuries and strategies to restore elbow stability
Surgical pearls for fixation and reconstruction
Common mistakes surgeons make—and how to avoid them
Postoperative rehabilitation and preventing stiffness
Clinical cases and practical take-home points applicable to everyday practice
Whether you're an orthopaedic resident, fellow, practicing surgeon, physician assistant, or simply interested in elbow trauma, this episode is packed with evidence-based insights and real-world surgical experience that you can apply immediately.
