In this episode of Under Pressure, host Dr. Jonathan Sackier sits down with Dr. Niloofar Dehghan, orthopaedic trauma surgeon, educator, and research powerhouse. From her pioneering work on weight-bearing protocols and flail chest fixation to her leadership in randomized trials and DEI initiatives, Dr. Dehghan shares what it means to challenge norms, both in and out of the OR. We cover the fundamentals of compartment syndrome, the evolving role of continuous pressure monitoring, her vision for a more inclusive future in orthopaedics, and the mindset needed to lead through evidence.
