This is clearly a journey that we are embarking on slowly in the UK. There are very good examples in the rest of the world that the UK could follow.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the number of distal clavicle fractures, their Neer type and mechanism of injury, their management (operative vs conservative), and the surgical techniques used.

Prognostic factor research is central to personalized orthopaedic care, as it provides information that helps inform patients about their condition and supports shared decision-making tailored to individual risk profiles.

Unrestricted kinematic alignment-total knee arthroplasty is a clinically successful and effective technique, which enhances the potential for excellent mid- to long-term outcomes.

Fascia iliaca block conferred modest improvements in opioid consumption and satisfaction with pain control, while pericapsular nerve group block showed similar outcomes with spinal anaesthesia alone.

Total knee arthroplasty with metaphyseal sleeves has a role in selected elderly patients with tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) not amenable to reconstruction. It addresses fixation failure in TPF & enables early mobilization with acceptable outcomes.
