@JohnBFergo@HuwTindall Mcreight’s ability to link in attack, sniff a try, handle in the loose and to out it lightly take a turnover when it’s absolutely CLUTCH aren’t captured in your numbers. Fraser is probably top 3 in world in his position. Maybe Tom will be soon as well.
@Hugh_96 The difference in speed and accuracy of pass service from the ruck base was stark when he went off. Tate’s got excellent attacking qualities but the ball carriers having to stop, prop and reach to catch his passes is an attack killer.
@orthotraumamd If it’s an open ankle I’d nail and fuse tibiotalar. If goal is stable fixation with minimal soft tissue dissection required I think you can still do a good job without blowing huge painful holes in all their cartilage using other implants.
@traumaticum Agreed, big fan.
1. Very good reduction
2.Adequate cortices of fixation above and below with sufficient working distance between
3. Fixation just distal to and around the hip stem, including transcortical screws.
4. 2 plates
5. Lack of cables
@Nelsonhdale Henry-Ikitau is an interesting combo. And I’m desperate to have a look at JAS on the wing/second FB role. Not convinced by potter would happily drop him to bench or out for Daugunu
@sportsdoc2016@InvictaOrtho@orthotraumamd@traumaticum Probably helps to change to a 2 screw nail to hold the new position better (not that TFNA is a bad option I like it, but in revision setting I like the S+N nails)
@sportsdoc2016@InvictaOrtho@orthotraumamd@traumaticum Staging it with an initial bone biopsy not a bad idea. If no infection I’d exchange nail it in lateral position, freshen up fracture ends, push it into slight valgus/try medialise entry point, ream up bigger, compress and lock statically, add lateral plate.
@HuwTindall He brained it at 13 in Super Rugby! Should be unseatable from the 23 Jersey. He and Cale have uncommon skills for their positions so give us interesting options on how to stack the rest of the bench.
