@Bloch_ortho @BoneJointJ @Bloch_ortho the interesting figure is the % split of private patients (insured/self pay): NHS funded patients in the independent sector post COVID. I suspect that the ratio is significantly different to pre-COVID.

[Owen Wall @kneedoc74]

@Bloch_ortho It was very gracious of you to give your time Ben, thank-you.

[Owen Wall @kneedoc74]

Spent the day, courtesy of #depuysynthes with @Bloch_ortho at Nottingham City hospital developing skills with the Attune RP uncemented TKR along with balanced resection techniques. An excellent day, and key education towards using the #velisrobot

@kashakhtar Looks like stuff for a root repair Kash?

@hjluks @kneeguyuk @hjluks….a very pragmatic and may I say, very accurate summary of conversations I have with patients week in/week out, except that your post is far more concise. May I borrow it (with reference of course) or direct them to it? 😎

[Owen Wall @kneedoc74]

@Kayleigh_Mcx Please DM me - I may be able to help you out.

@thekneedoc True - but that MRI image with arrow is pointing to the medial meniscal root. On the R of the image one can visualise the femoral origin of the LCL…..

Ahem….”Doctor Apprenticeships”……discuss…….

Who on earth is willing to train a non-medically qualified apprentice?

Moi? Non.

[Owen Wall @kneedoc74]

@ArthroscopyJ Yup….QT grafts are problematic….

@susie_dent “the new normal” and “doing the do”
Both phrases very highly irritating….

@British_Airways
Please can you help me to change the surname of my wife in our Household Executive club account from her maiden name to married surname?
I’m unable to book tickets with you without this change…many thanks.

@TomBroback @oldirtymath One packet of 16 x200mg ibuprofen costs less than £1…that’s 6.25p per tablet….that’s cheap.

@generalorthomd @NuelleSportsMD @OrthoCurryMD @charleston_doc @jointdocShields @orthogal21 @summitwv @CenterRotation @schulte_ss In the UK, the code for meniscal repair, W8230. Includes everything from a 2 suture simple meniscal split repair right upto a medial or lateral meniscal root repair….which is far more complex and time consuming….🤷‍♂️
