A 5-year-old boy falls off a climbing frame and lands on his wrist.

Should you reduce the fracture - or simply put it in a nice cast and let it remodel?

Until now, people might have had strong views about this, but no-one really knew. 👇

The https://t.co/JamWKQsdtD results coming Wednesday 8th April at 11.40am UK time.

Simultaneous presentation at the @eposorg meeting (finishing at 12.40 in Seville) and publication in @TheLancet .

The work of a huge group of people in the UK 🙏.

Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday aged 100.

Fond memories of undergraduate anatomy at @Cambridge_Uni an inspiration and mentor to generations of doctors

May he rest in peace

Whole blood in trauma has generated enormous interest. Today, @SWiFT_trial in @NEJM provides the clearest randomised evidence so far on whether prehospital whole blood improves outcomes in life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: https://t.co/iqgPNZNdfk

Lovely final evening in @UniofOxford having dinner with @126Liam & @TraumaDataDoc. Great food & great company. Heading home…

[David Metcalfe @TraumaDataDoc]

@TheSGEM @UniofOxford @126Liam Great to meet and thank you for excellent company. Sorry we couldn't find a better Oxford skyline for the photograph. See you at @IncrEMentuMconf!

[Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) @FF_Network]

A major UK study has revealed that the financial burden of hip fractures extends beyond hospital walls, with social care costs often matching or exceeding medical treatment.

[David Metcalfe @TraumaDataDoc]

@AllisonPearson I envy the courage of someone who can broadcast a post to 240,000 followers without pausing to check their facts first. There are lots of problems with the NHS but this post conflates hip fracture (time to operation measured in hours/days) with elective hip replacement (months).

[Mehul K @Sports_Fan7]

You get asked to do a therapeutic pleural tap for this patient.

This is not that difficult but still very important to recognise.

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

In the WHiTE study, patients treated for extracapsular #hip #fractures with long cephalomedullary nails had equivalent recovery of quality of life compared with short cephalomedullary nails.

Great to see @xlgriffin deliver his inaugural lecture at Queen Mary's, London — five years into his Prof job - never too late!

Great to see the difference he’s made (and continues to make) for patients worldwide.

[1/16] Deeply flawed and completely misleading modelling from Medifintech’s own @gdcuk Graham Crossley at @Quilter. Here's why the £125k pension headline is erroneous, misleading, and deeply flawed 👇

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

In the WHiTE study, patients with a complication after their hip fracture had worse quality of life & higher risk of death.

@KeepGoinEoin I don't recognise some of the descriptions of EM on social media from any of the EDs I have worked in. Maybe I've just been lucky.
