Such a humbling experience to speak alongside so many legends in the field of pediatric spinal deformity at the 18th Annual #ICEOS. Happy to present some of our team’s findings— thanks to Dr. Sponseller, Dr. Groves, and @tdazad for the guidance! @HopkinsOrtho @HopkinsNsurg



Go Dr. Sponseller!
37th annual Grice Day lecture today @BostonChildrens . Excellent to have Dr. Sponseller as our speaker, and great to hear from @akiapour about everything new with clinical uses of AI. @childrensspine @POSNA_org @SRS_org
Tomorrow's July 1st - aka the first day of being a "real" doctor for interns across the country- and your @HopkinsOrtho Class of 2030 is as ready as can be! So grateful and incredibly excited to work with this awesome crew! #OrthoTwitter


John P. Avendano, MD To the village that carried me here - I owe it all to you.

Always a pleasure to work with the incredible @DianeGhanem — strong work leading this!
Looks like we’ve still got work to do! Most pediatric trauma patient education materials on AAOS & POSNA websites exceed recommended readability levels - potentially limiting comprehension. It's time to bridge the gap. We're working on it📚 Read more: bit.ly/42Bc6Go

Eternally humbled to have the chance to become an Orthopaedic Surgeon at such a historic place, but more importantly, the place that felt like home. So excited to announce I’ll be heading to @HopkinsOrtho for my Orthopaedic Surgery Residency! #Match2025


Thank you mom, thank you dad, and thank you to all who've supported me on my journey. I wouldn't be here without each and every one of you - this feeling is truly beyond words. I'm going to be an Orthopaedic Surgeon!!

The beginning of the end - our annual ceremony for student distinctions (I was awarded a Distinction in Leadership and Academic Healthcare!) and my induction into our school’s Gold Humanism Honor Society. Grateful for an amazing 5 years @RWJMS!



Congrats @LabeeqaK ! Very well deserved
A dream come true- I am so thrilled to have matched @BWHUrology!! Incredibly grateful for the support of my family, friends, as well as @rwjurology and the amazing mentors and residents who got me here. Boston here I come!!! #uromatch #auamatch2025 #urosome @AmerUrological

Of all the dreams I’ve seen come to life through this organization, this was the most incredible. Thank you to everyone who came last night, and to the whole committee who made it happen. Look at all that women can do when we come together 💜 #orthotwitter @RJOSociety
Happy 4th of July! While gearing up to watch the United States accumulate gold at #Paris2024, here's a #tbt to my college days - representing #TeamUSA at the 2015 World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea. Forever proud to have donned the Stars and Stripes.



Hi #MedTwitter & #OrthoTwitter! I’m John Avendano, M4 @RWJMS applying into Orthopaedic Surgery this fall. Passions include leadership, research, & mental health advocacy. Hobbies: distance running, fencing, & cheering on #TeamUSA at the Olympics. Excited to connect! #Match2025

No words can describe the endless gratitude I have towards the amazing people of @HopkinsOrtho for welcoming me to their family with open arms this year. I’ll forever cherish the year I spent as a Poggi Fellow. Dr. Sponseller: thanks for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime.




Truly an honor to speak at @RWJMS Convocation as Class of ‘24 President. Though I’m not graduating this year (finishing up a research year!), the time we shared was so special. Congrats docs- the world’s yours! Swipe for pics of me running my mouth behind podiums over the years!
