Recent evidence suggests that for #PJI, shorter systemic #antibiotic courses and early transition to oral therapy can be as effective as prolonged treatment. However, current studies are heterogeneous and limited.

@northwoods1980 I haven’t used a drain in years for primary TKR/THR and I don’t think any of my colleagues in my area use them either. It’s a PJI risk.

@tim_n_board @BritishHip How to roll out 6 THR/list that he does in Belfast to the whole of the NHS.

@hjluks New beach "Nea Paralia" is good early in the morning or at sunset for a walk/run! It's the seafront around the Makedonia Palace Hotel.

@ChrisGeeOrtho For those of us old enough to remember, this has been tried in Wales in 2007 by foreign surgeons who in desperation for the undermining of their colleagues gave up and left the UK: https://t.co/gbhfUmEqtE

@JubileeHospital For those of us old enough to remember, this has been tried before in Wales by foreign surgeons who in desperation for the undermining of their colleagues gave up and left the UK: https://t.co/gbhfUmEqtE

More than 20 specialties contribute to each patient having a hip arthroplasty. So, I gathered all available colleagues who took part when this generous patient turned up and made her 4th donation to PRI! https://t.co/yrJl3xjSuo

@halseyhands1 There’s no debate for those who know. Cream or butter first and the jam on top. The fat layer is sandwiched by carbs.

@baslerMD @centerofhip The problem in PPFs with the CPT stem, started when they stopped making them with stain. steel & switched to CoCr. Trying to solve one problem and create another. Fairly common in the history of implant manufacturing. Having said that the CPT long-term performance is very strong.

@Bloch_ortho @baslerMD @centerofhip They also have MS-30 with 15A* ODEP rating. This change affects us in NHS Tayside.
