📣 Study suggests kneecaps should be resurfaced during replacements
A clinical trial following 1,700 patients for 20 years found resurfacing the kneecap during total knee replacement is likely to be the most cost-effective approach 📉

Surgeons: Which implant design is actually best for hip fracture hemiarthroplasty?
Your responses will directly shape an upcoming clinical trial to determine the definitive best stem.

Given that this transport announcement is total and utter fantasy, it's not really increased it's credibility to have produce a map where there are:
- Two Huddersfields
- *Three* Warringtons
- Hull is both north *and* south of York...
- and York is also north of... itself.

HELP: Followers, if you know David Thornton, author of The Story of Leeds, could you ask him to get in touch urgently, please.
It is a family matter, and one I’d like to help with.
TY
Current hip replacement guidelines are likely wrong. Big differences in reoperation rates (revision/PPF) based on sex and age.
Cementless collared > cemented tapered in older men. Time to rethink age-based cement use!

Please take a minute to fill out your views on wound problems after joint replacement #nursing #physiotherapy #generalpractice #orthotwitter
Dear all, we have a new project looking at the care of wound infections after joint replacement. We would appreciate 3 mins of your time to understand the views of all those who manage patients after joint replacement, to help us improve care: tinyurl.com/5n8936m6
How do you manage wound infections after joint replacement of the upper and lower limb?
Washout every joint? Just abx? Maybe both? 🤷♂️
Please complete a 3min online survey in conjunction with @BAJIS_UK & @Brms_Research 👇

I’m really pleased to share our research showing the benefits of THR in adolescent patients
@tim_n_board @lambjn @wrightington16
The socioeconomic benefits of THA need further investigation to establish guidelines for the treatment of children with severe symptoms from the hip.

Great question Martin! I would encourage the orthotwitter community to complete this survey
We are looking into this problem. First step is to understand decision making and design a small study to see if plating a gap is worth it? And if so, when? See below for short survey. Please share on your work groups. Thanks

Take home messages:
Cemented polished taper stems did worse when taking into account fractures which were fixed.
Cementless stems better than expected, outperformed cemented PTS stems in those with hip fracture(!) 😲
Cemented composite beam have v low risk

Latest estimates of periprosthetic fracture risk associated with stem brands in England published in @jbjs, check your choices!
- Estimates include all surgically tx fractures, including those fixed
- Risk depends on design, not cement
