It’s with sadness that it turns out for the first time in my life I’m not a citizen of the European Union. #BrexitDisaster however I am a European as are all brits. Maybe the next generation will do better.

@OrthopodReg @RoshanaMN @ollieburtonmed @trishgreenhalgh @parthaskar @AquaAsif @MedCrisis @BMA_JuniorDocs Not really true. There are good reasons why things like time series analysis, cross-over trials due to change in practice, routine data collection analyses, ex-vivo tissue work covered by HTA regulations don’t need ethics. Research should be covered by appropriate approvals

@GasDocYates @BoneJoint360 That is the point I’m making. There is a role for PAs; but it’s not as a replacement for medically trained staff. They are differently trained.

@Mehdi88609068 @LRSsurgeon @limbreconuk @LimbPaeds @traumaticum It’s a well described problem. I will post some references below. Likely because the proximal geometry was changed - lateral wall thinned and flattened to take the wider cannulation for injection. Notching happens with most nails at points but this nail has a highs failure rate

@JosephAlsousou @deboraheastwood @EdinburghTrauma Hearteningly I have checked with @EdinburghTrauma faculty is more representative than that: 22% female, 15% BAME. We clearly desperately need more women in orthopaedic trauma but I think we all knew that. So important particularly in #trauma to be #representative

@raju_ahluwalia @JitMangwani @Drlyndonmason @bota_uk @BOFAS_UK @EdinburghTrauma @xlgriffin @Williameardley @OTrauma It could probably be relatively easily done with HES linked data. Quick BOFAS audit of who does what and then a HES linked audit would give the answer with reasonable power and accuracy.

@stevemchale @Mehdi88609068 @LRSsurgeon @limbreconuk @LimbPaeds @traumaticum No it doesn’t. It provides a more rounded view hence posting it of introduction of the implant and some problems associated. The fracture issues are probably quite rare - the TFN vs TFNa paper (goodenough) reports a 0.2 vs 0.06% failure rate via lag screw hole fracture

@xlgriffin @Mehdi88609068 @PhilWalmsley4 @docfarrow @LRSsurgeon @limbreconuk @LimbPaeds @traumaticum Totally agree - but ‘investment’ means costs go up - which I don’t mind at all. It’s a way of NHS to fund However think about TARN - of the 17 ORIF sites 4 currently don’t have TARN administrators. It’s a fundamental problem - the NHS uses band 2/3 staff for these crucial jobs…

@Mehdi88609068 @LRSsurgeon @limbreconuk @LimbPaeds @traumaticum Think about a TAN vs a FAN. They are all made straight. Gun drilled and bent. The mechanical axis of the femur doesn’t change but the more valgus the nail is the more stress concentration their is in the nail. Flats etc are then machined.

I remember moving house was at the top followed by death of a parent. I wonder what the other positions would be today.
