Well that’s certainly one way to drum up some business!🦴❄️⛸️

The @BritishORS @BoneJointRes #travellingfellows are in Colorado! Great few days in the OR with Drs Jennings and Blackwood. Super efficient with 8 joints done by lunch! Great teaching on DAA-THA, gap balancing knees, outpatient surgery and Mako. Fab hosts 😊 @ColoradoJoint 🦴🇬🇧🇺🇸

[British Orthopaedic Research Society @BritishORS]

It was excellent to finally meet this years @BritishORS-@BoneJointRes Travelling fellows in person at the journals office last week. Learn more about who they are at https://t.co/CKUUNY4pZr. They are off to @ORSociety as there first stop so make sure to say hi if you are there!

What an evening for a blast on the bike after work!

This project captured the views of patients, carers, and healthcare professionals to identify and rank research priorities for patients with persistent symptoms after knee arthroplasty https://t.co/FZhSykmEob #arthroplasty #kneereplacement @jlarevisionknee

[The Journal of Arthroplasty @JArthroplasty]

Lots of details we still need to learn about patients with #arthrofibrosis after #TKA. However, there is certainly something to the idea that one complication today means a higher likelihood of more issues in the future. @AAHKS @AAHKS_YAG

NICE recommends combined iv/topical TXA for THR/TKR
https://t.co/BzDmK1euRq

Only 2% surgeons use topical TXA in recent study

Optimal TXA dose/route/time explored in ongoing Cochrane review

Surgeons @simonabram &co present guidance aiming to protect patients from unnecessary surgery while ensuring appropriate access to arthroscopic meniscal surgery where benefit is anticipated https://t.co/rUHrT9H7Ge #arthroscopy #meniscalsurgery

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

"The 2018 BASK Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery Treatment Guidance will facilitate the consistent identification and treatment of patients with meniscal lesions. It is hoped that this guidance will be adopted nationally by surgeons..." https://t.co/vPkizj5hlK #kneearthroscopy

In terms of clinical effectiveness and safety profile, aspirin did not differ statistically significantly from other anticoagulants used for VTE prophylaxis after THR and TKR https://t.co/bQaJ8NQH2S

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

Surgeons from @ndorms confirm that despite rates of paediatric and adolescent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction increasing 29-fold in the last 20 years, the risk of serious complications remains very low https://t.co/ICdCS2sy8o #ACLreconstruction #surgicalcomplications

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

Surgeons @EdinburghKnee &co report that in total, 19% of patients awaiting total hip arthroplasty and 12% awaiting total knee arthroplasty for degenerative joint disease are in a health state 'worse than death' https://t.co/ipM0JdSIRL #hiparthroplasty #kneearthroplasty

ACL reconstruction is safe, as evaluated in a study of 104,255 procedures from the UK. However, well-known problems such as high numbers of re-ruptures as well as injuries to the contralateral side in young patients are still relevant! #ACL @ndorms https://t.co/kfL0hr8K9y
