The UK is, yet again, facing widespread cancellations of elective surgery. Forever seen as the easy target and release valve at times of pressure. Our patients are suffering, mentally as well as physically and so are those around them.

[British Hip Society @BritishHip]

Please see this excellent response from @BritOrthopaedic @JointRegistry on a recent study regarding orthopaedic surgery. We fully support the response and reassure patients that our surgeons offer extremely well proven treatments. https://t.co/CBii3wdJ0l

@fessdoc @RCSnews @mortensen_neil @TMitchellFRCS @teegoodacre Physicians and surgeons should be MD so that everyone knows they have had formal medical training.

92,000 patients on our @NHSuk waiting lists for orthopaedic surgery! Estimates of £200m and four years running at 120% to get back to pre-covid situation. #COVID19 #orthotwitter #medtwitter

@fessdoc @KatrinaSheikh Oh alright then!

[Jeremy Latham @lathamhips]

@fessdoc @KatrinaSheikh ‘Your ego is writing cheques your body can’t cash’. Life lesson for all of us there!

@ExeterHipUnit Nice! I always worry about applying torsion forces to the femur though, and prefer to give the old mantle a touch up with the OSCAR instead.

@bendean1979 @akellyucc @AcademicChatter Exactly that. The overtly commercial publications are taking the piss.

@ExeterHipUnit Isn’t it like chucking a bit of salt over your shoulder after you’ve spilt some? #superstition #oldwivestale

@ArthroToday @AAHKS @EdinburghKnee @DrChadKrueger @CenterRotation @LindaSuleimanMD @AlexisGaskin32 Interesting point re effect on surgeon. Using enhanced planning techniques and a robot might protect you from litigation in cases of alleged poor outcome.

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

UK surgeons report that the rate of postoperative COVID-19 following elective hip and knee arthroplasty was < 1% during the first wave & the overall mortality rate secondary to COVID-19 was also low (0.09%) https://t.co/GXXzlCoPN5 #COVID19 #arthroplasty

@BoneJointJ Good to see MM featured. He’s one of the unsung heroes of orthopaedic engineering during my career.

[British Hip Society @BritishHip]

A third of patients waiting for Total Hip Replacement are in a state worse than death. They can be helped with surgery. This new study from @BoneJointJ shows twice as many patients are in this position as a year ago. Here is our joint statement with @BritOrthopaedic @baskonline

[Chloe EH Scott @EdinburghKnee]

Great work from @lzyapp in @BoneJointOpen : During the 🦠pandemic in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #TKA and #THA volume has fallen by 61% and 54%, respectively. Working at 120% of normal it will take over *4yrs* to eliminate the deficit for #knees and #Hips in #Scotland

@fessdoc @AlunWynJones Time to watch this classic again! https://t.co/8x9BZFRho0

@ExeterHipUnit @bendean1979 The capsule is often very stiff and unhappy in these cases.

[Jeremy Latham @lathamhips]

@hipkneesurgeon @ExeterHipUnit MSK films often ‘under reported’ in my experience!
