Pretty sure you can’t make these conclusions from an observational study containing 31 cases.
Or an observational study full stop…. Association is not causation!
Study seems woefully underpowered?

Pretty clear from the associated BOAST that it shouldn’t be happening - boa.ac.uk/static/7ded8f00-98…
I think part of the issue is that UK training is geared towards the generalist, which is a model of practice that has largely disappeared.
There obviously still needs to be some generalist content, but a better balance towards specialism should surely be attainable nationally.
Maybe true for ED, but I would argue not true for other aspects e.g. surgical efficiency. Here there are number of factors that are relevant in estimates of operative time etc that AI could access and probably do a better job of assimilating than we currently do.
Solve - no; help - potentially. Things like flow and efficiency are good targets. As others have mentioned data quality / lack of interoperability are major barriers, but not insurmountable.

This study provides an innovative stakeholder-led method for determining comparative priority for those awaiting primary elective hip and knee arthroplasty.

Today, alongside colleagues from @QMUL and the London Major Trauma System we are launching a new study into using AI to support clinical decision-making and enhance emergency life-saving care.
The study, one of the first to evaluate the use of AI-powered decision-support tools in trauma care, will see AI-TRiPS deployed across The London Trauma System, the largest integrated trauma network in the world which serves over 10 million people.
We’re looking forward to working with our colleagues @QMUL @NHSBartsHealth @LDNairamb @Ldn_Ambulance @KingsCollegeNHS @geshNHS @ImperialNHS to assess how the system can support doctors helping seriously injured patients.

Let's talk penalty context. Every time I post these, people are always moving the goalposts.
"All the Chiefs penalties are meaningless and don't affect anything! But every penalty called on their opponents is blatant cheating!"
Specifics vary, but it always boils down to that.
A classic for the armchair epidemiologist!
Also no Covid comparison group or adjustment for confounding effect of actual Covid infection….
Is it locked statically proximally? If so I’d consider releasing, ensuring no block to screw in lateral cortex, and trying to let dynamise. Otherwise looking at a valgus osteotomy realistically.
Registry data for lifetime risk of revision in a young patient still only quoted as 40%, so 90% does seem pretty high (although appreciate in this scenario the obesity likely plays a factor).

Seems very short sighted given the potential tsunami of fragility fractures that are likely heading our way…. 🌊pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3816…
