Feeling honoured and thankful to have won the ON/EORS #Orthoregeneration Award for my research looking at porcine xenografts in ACL reconstruction #EORS2020@UCLDivofSurgery
Congratulations @Adam_Hexter for winning the 2020 ON/EORS Orthoregeneration Award for the work on "Decellularised Porcine Xenograft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction" #orthoregeneration#EORS2020#award
Demineralised cortical bone (DCB) is a collagen-based biomaterial which has gained interest as a possible osteoinductive ACL graft. However we found that DCB is inferior to tendon grafts options for ACL reconstruction due to insufficient tensile properties https://t.co/zudvwaeawA
An ovine study showing that decellularized porcine xenografts have potential in ACL reconstruction. Biologically the grafts integrated with an indirect-type insertion (characterized by Sharpey-like fibres) which is similar to current free tendon grafts https://t.co/IrDmv4oX9v
The outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction depends on “Graft Healing”. @bjjeditor & co have systematically reviewed biological augmentation of ACL reconstruction, identifying 7 categories of biological intervention https://t.co/hYQEIdkUo3 #ACL#grafthealing

Brilliant first day of @Great_Debate_UK Many thought provoking conversations on alignment, stability and the use of innovative assistive technologies. Special mention to @MSkLab1’s @MrGGJones, @orthorobodoc & Mr Liddle for their excellent presentations on partial knee surgery 👍

@kirbyamiller @beaufortpark Similar thing happened to me. I was fined for parking in a spot I pay for in rent only because I was unable to return the VSLogbook before their arbitrary deadline of 4 weeks. Difficult to do when the paperwork is not accessible due to personal circumstance... @beaufortpark
Ahead of 2020, the consensus statement from the NFL and NFL Physician Society serves as a timely reminder for the parameters of therapies and treatments within #orthobiologics. https://t.co/3a0Uo7mruw
Using biology in the treatment of injuries has been a growing area of interest for surgeons. With increasing prevalence of injuries and OA, orthobiologics are likely to have an expanding role in the management of musculoskeletal injuries #orthobiologics https://t.co/hckd2PRRVM
It was a privilege to teach future surgeons this weekend at the 7th National North Western Core Surgery Interview Course organised by @LThornton89#surgery#education
Great work by the faculty and the organising committee , pleased to be able run this course for the 7th year in a row and special thanks to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh for their support this year. @RCSEd@LThornton89@Adam_Hexter@abscrimshire#surgery#education
Improving graft healing after ACL reconstruction remains a challenge. Here is a technical note describing "fertilisation" of the ACL graft using Bone Marrow Concentrate, Demineralized Bone Matrix, and Autograft Bone. https://t.co/OKFAxvWLYF
Interesting opening session at British Orthopaedic Sports Trauma Arthroscopy Association (BOSTAA) 2019 conference. Discussion included the uncertain role of orthobiologics in management of upper limb tendinopathies and sport injuries #BOSTAA2019#overuse#injuries#orthobiologics
