The word "mentor" has its origins in ancient Greek mythology. In Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," Mentor is a character who serves as a trusted advisor and friend to Odysseus. When Odysseus goes off to the Trojan War, he entrusts Mentor with the guidance and care of his son Telemachus.

Congratulations to our outstanding graduating residents, Michael Cloney, Gregory Frankel, and Matthew Ordon! It was an honor to train these talented individuals who will be pursuing fellowships in spinal surgery next year. The future of our field is incredibly bright. Sending my blessings and love to all of them! ❤️

A common oral board question is about cervical fracture dislocation with bilateral jumped facets in a patient an ASIA A injury. How would you manage it? Would you obtain an MRI? Would you place the patient in traction and attempt reduction? What is the timing of surgery? Would you perform a posterior only or circumferential fusion?
