@ollieburtonmed @chloe_shand You’d be fine re the radial artery - much more distal (crosses from volar to dorsal going across ASB marking the STT joint).

The superficial radial nerve however is right there, makes it painful and can be injured!

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

Always a pleasure to spend time with these three. Come along and join in what is basically an extended between case chat.

[The Pulvertaft @The_Pulvertaft]

Our Introduction to Wrist Course (Virtual) is running on Weds 27th April 2022. A very well received course with the marvellous @valehandsurgery, @hand_specialist, @handprocedures and Nick Johnson.

@DigitalRiverInc - you’ve taken a large sum from my bank account without authorisation. I assume you’ve put a default autorenew but it‘s not visible on your website. Feels deeply unethical.

@gardenrichard @Parody_RCGP @HeedDoc @pkonline84 An antiquarian organisation that does it’s patients sick notes 😉

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

@DrVoles @HeedDoc @pkonline84 They sometimes come in like that…..

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

@jtevans13 Good luck!

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

@pkonline84 @Richard_GP @HeedDoc In the time it took to tell you that (and admit they don’t know the demands/functional status of a patient having an MSK procedure) they could have done the note…..

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

@Richard_GP @pkonline84 @HeedDoc Nowadays (for us) it’s easier than a TTO - hand scribbled and not having to log into the most recent catastrophe du jour IT system.

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

Though obvs decreased BMI may increase DD….

[Dan Armstrong @handprocedures]

Fascinating findings adding to Wilbrand et al. Would anybody start mentioning this as a treating clinician when discussing DD with patients? Patient could then address other risk factors?
