I'm especially proud that, for the first time, a UK surgeon has been entrusted with this role.
To me, it's a reflection of FESSH’s unity and evolving diversity.

@FESSHEurope Rest in peace, Tomasz.

To be murdered by a patient while simply doing your job is an unimaginable act of violence.

This heartbreaking event is a stark reminder of the risks healthcare workers face daily.

In the long term, a malunited forearm fracture can lead to early-onset osteoarthritis of adjacent joints. Corrective osteotomy surgery can be challenging due to the bone's deformation in multiple planes. @drroykim @bjemec @zafnaqui @maximhorwitz @GLB______ @OrthoM8 @jmceachan @DKennedyHands @LimbUpper @WeeLeonLam @OrthopodReg @VaniSigamone @sumedhct @valehandsurgery @DormanSara @SuzEThomson @BSSHand @FESSHEurope @oladipo112 @anilbhatortho @PlasticsFella @JCRWormald @DeanBoyce6
