"In spite of this uncertainty, there was a rapid adoption of early internal fixation of scaphoid based fractures". @DuckworthOrthEd and Joseph Dias discuss the five-year follow-up of the SWIFFT in the latest episode of the BJJ Podcast. #Podcast #Ortho https://t.co/qioS1gDiuX

Projection modelling demonstrates that hip fracture burden and incidence will increase substantially by 2029, driven by an ageing population, with substantial implications for health and social care services. #HipFracture #Healthcare #AgeingPopulation https://t.co/2bClPQXXuU

Tengo la sensación de que no tienen en cuenta la opinión de los médicos a la hora de diseñar el #EstatutoMarco y el futuro del #SNS. Hace tiempo que no dibujaba algo que no fuese “técnico”, pero me he inspirado.

This longer-term evidence further corroborates the recommendation that patients with a scaphoid waist fracture displaced by 2 mm or less should initially be treated with cast immobilization. #Surgery #Wrist #Fracture @YorkTrialsUnit @Oxford_Trauma https://t.co/kV6qR21KWN

"this large, randomised trial showed that surgical fixation for displaced medial epicondyle fractures in children offers no clinically meaningful benefit compared with non-surgical care, and resulted in more frequent complications" Great work @MrDanPerry and team!

Anybody recognise this stem implanted in Spain in 1996? Any ideas are welcomed!!!

Existing evidence indicates that early surgery for #hip #fracture does improve both patient-reported outcomes such as functional status, mobility & quality of life, & outcomes derived from medical records such as length of hospital stay. @Oxford_Trauma https://t.co/qe5p5w4dEU

Feliz Navidad a todos los médicos y facultativos que hoy están de guardia, velando por nuestra salud, alejados de sus familias, trabajando mientras otros se reúnen y celebran con la familia. Buena guardia. Un fuerte abrazo.

El Síndrome del #PacienteRecomendado pone en riesgo al mismo Paciente Genera ambiente disruptivo Se rompen reglas y límites Exámenes innecesarios Altas prematuras Entre otras Todos los que estamos en Medicina hemos tenido algún Paciente así https://t.co/Crbs73ewfH

Feliz Navidad. Merry Christmas

Gloves should be changed: after draping, bone prep, trialing, and arthrotomy in revision cases for PJI; before implantation, after cementation, and before closing. Replace 1x every 40-60min or when they become entangled in surgical equipment. https://t.co/K3DpZRUt41

Operative management was associated with better functional outcomes according to the PRWE & DASH scores, but clinical meaningfulness remains unclear. #BJO #Ortho @EdinburghTrauma @EdinOrthopaedic @KatBellOrtho @OrthoOliver @DuckworthOrthEd @EdinUniUsher https://t.co/1KXtGhl5QY

The most downloaded paper in the October issue of #BJO? This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the patient-reported outcomes of operative and nonoperative management in adults with a fracture of the distal radius. #Fracture #Wrist https://t.co/PvsN3O7QPr

Intraosseous cefuroxime (750 or 1500 mg) achieved higher local tissue concentrations than IV 1,500 mg in TKA. Preop IO 750 mg cefuroxime alone minimized systemic exposure while maintaining effective concentrations. https://t.co/ARVMzX1gIS
