Hanging with Henglein

Welcome to FractureLine: the official weekly news feed from the Chest Wall Injury Society, where we will listen to all the bottom-line CWIS updates, shout-outs, fun facts, and weekly banter!

This week, we are joined by the usual suspects: Dr. Kryskow, Dr. White, SarahAnn, Aaron Pugh, Dr. Bauman, & Carl Hanson. We are also happy to introduce a new name to the rib fracture/chest wall trauma circle, Mr. Jonathan Henglein, PA-C. Jonathan is a 20-year PA with lots of experience in trauma and a recent article in The Journal of Surgical Research titled: "A Comparison of Scoring Systems to Identify Patients at Increased Risk From Traumatic Rib Fractures." Jonathan currently works for Southside Hospital (part of Northwell Health on Long Island) which recently attained Level 1 status, a huge accomplishment!

Come and stay a while!

Finally, this week's Summit Recap special guest is Max van Diepen (Rotterdam, Netherlands - MD/PhD Candidate). He is well known in the CWIS circle for his work thus far and will, no doubt, add greatly to the work of the Chest Wall Injury Society!
