Very excited to see RACER-Knee 1 year (primary) results in The Lancet Group. It's been a journey delivering this trial but enjoyable all the way.

National data show a decline in timely surgery, which likely reflects operational pressures and underscores the need to address avoidable delays.

The number of NOF#s will only increase with our ageing population. We have found a significant association between delays due to lack of surgical resources and increased mortality. These patients need not be forgotten, and we need the surgical resources to care for them.

An important message that should resonate internationally. Delayed surgery for fractured neck of femur patients has significant implications. Orthopaedic trauma theatre access is imperative in these cases.

The development of core outcome sets represents an opportunity to standardize the reporting of outcomes in orthopaedic research; however, they appear somewhat under-used in the current literature.

Can modern external ring fixation improve recovery outcomes in severe open tibial fractures?

In this secondary analysis of the prospective randomized FIXIT trial, Shu et al. found that patients treated with modern external ring fixation experienced significantly greater pain interference at 6 months compared with internal fixation, although differences resolved by 12 months.

A key secondary finding showed that patients with retained external fixation frames at 12 months reported substantially greater pain intensity and pain interference.

These findings highlight the importance of postoperative pain management and frame-related care when utilizing external ring fixation in severe tibial trauma.

Nonoperative management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears may result in ACL fiber continuity on follow-up MRIs; however, this finding does not correlate to restored knee stability, as joint laxity often persists.

What if NHS Trust executive pay was linked to a secondary care Quality Outcome Framework?

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice.

It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates.

It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.
