Diversity in orthopaedics…! So great catching up with the team at the @BritOrthopaedic this week! @theladypod @karmay_phoon

Look the engaging front cover design our trainee Chryssa Neo a.k.a @theladypod created for the @BritOrthopaedic’s Journal of T&O! What an incredible illustration!

Whilst it takes energy to keep nerves ready to fire they do this process again and again throughout every second of your life. This ‘action potential’ is how all nerves work. Here is the science:

Injections that stop pain are an amazing thing. How do local anaesthetics stop pain? What makes the numbing effect wear off? And what should be done if it doesn’t? A thread on nerve function by a nerve surgeon. #regionalanaesthesia #localanaesthetic #neurapraxia #conductionblock

Surgery is a practical craft you learn as much by doing as by studying. I don’t know any surgeons of my generation who are not worried about the lack of experience of surgeons in training at the moment. The government’s plans for cheap instant doctors are terrible.

“Ladder fixation” in a severely osteoporotic, diabetic patient. There was a small posterior mal. Medial mal left alone due to bad skin. Fibula fracture extended from joint to just above depth gauge. Remember, the more severe the osteoporosis/diabetes, the more fixation you need.

Guy says this was implanted in 1977 in Chicago. He was in his 20's, had AVN. Says he loves it, has never given him any problems, never had it x-ray'd since the surgery. Saw me for something else and we got x-ray out of curiosity... #orthotwitter @DrLeeRubin @jointdocShields

Consensus from @BSCOS_UK on the management of DDH in babies. However, “none of the areas of consensus are based on high-quality evidence” Bring on RCTs @NIHRresearch https://t.co/PiFUw3e83W

🛠️Surgical trick in subtrochanteric fractures 🔥 ⚠️A large gap fracture >3mm is a critical factor that lead to unsatisfactory results after cephalomedullary nailing. 👌Forward-striking technique is effective in reducing this gap 3-5mm. #orthotwitter (1/2) 🔽🔽🔽

@TJQPNI @artibiotics I learnt it at Med school as the dancing couple and the ‘third wheel’ trying to get in on the dance. For this reason, I can still draw and label the brachial plexus with little thought..

Acute lunate dislocation in a 25 yr old patient. There was a disruption of the scapholunate ligament and volar dislocation of the scaphoid. The LTIL was intact and the triquetrum had dislocated along with the lunate. #orthotwitter #handsurgery

MCL anatomy day. Approach here is an FCR split with ulna nerve mobilized posteriorly. Get into FCR bed and identify sublime tubercle. Trace fiber orientation to medial epicondyle. Visible are the Anterior and posterior bundles and transverse fibers #orthotwitter

Med students and interns - Calling for a consult can be nerve wracking. A long time ago, my chief taught me how to call a consultant and it hasn't steered me wrong yet so here is a 🧵

Before doing an intertroch I always look at other side and the native neck-shaft angle. Here I know I’m not showing a true NSA, but I am checking where a 125° nail would sit, as I prefer my cephalic screw to be low on the AP (calTAD). It’s always good practice to look.
