Using a medial congruent insert in TKA restricts knee kinematics in femoral roll back, femorotibial rotation, and patella-shifting. The cruciate-retaining insert allows the greatest rotations, but shows the least rotation at the patella. #BJO #MedTwitter ow.ly/7SAa50SKfYz

This meta-analysis found a pooled incidence of 28.1% for postoperative urine retention following total joint replacement. #BJO #Arthroplasty #OpenAccess Amir H. Hoveidaei, MD, MSMEd @drskyone ow.ly/tmMs50SKhpv

DiffErential attainment & Factors AssoCiated with Training applications & Outcomes (DE FACTO) Study: Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery in 🇬🇧 The 2nd piece of DE FACTO Project work… …& we aren’t done yet 👀 boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130… Bone & Joint Open #MedEd #medtwitter #orthotwitter

🚨 We are thrilled to announce that our second paper in the DE FACTO study series, which focuses on Trauma & Orthopaedics (T&O) in the UK, has now been published in Bone & Joint Open! 🎉🚨 📄🔗Link: doi.org/10.1302/2633-1… A thread 🧵 #OrthoTwitter #MedEd #MedTwitter

This survey demonstrates that there is uncertainty about the role of lumbar spine fusion surgery and best conservative care for a range of example patients with severe, persistent low back pain in the UK. #BJO #Spine #Pain #Surgery ow.ly/1jkn50SKhOY

Vertebral body tethering is becoming an established technique that is safe and efficacious in preventing immature idiopathic scoliosis from having fusion surgery. #BJO #Scoliosis #OpenAccess @darren_lui ow.ly/8UGm50T49Kt

The most downloaded #BJO paper last month pointed out that osteochondral allograft transplantation shows promise as a treatment for shoulder instability, addressing defects in both the glenoid and humeral head. #BJO #OpenAccess #Shoulder ow.ly/BVmL50T517u

Spinal deformity is a common and severe musculoskeletal condition affecting children with neurological or myopathic disorders. #BJO #Scoliosis #Neuromuscular #Surgery ow.ly/boNm50T5cSx

This study highlights the significant psychological impact of fracture-related infections (FRIs), particularly recurrent FRIs, on patients. #BJO #Trauma #Psychology #MentalHealth ow.ly/iQIu50T7t0l

Infection is a devastating complication of any type of surgery. The current focus on fracture-related infection is important, and every aspect of the patient experience should be considered. #BJO #Trauma #MentalHealth boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

Extended restricted kinematic alignment is an effective & reproducible strategy during robotic-assisted TKA. It follows the basic principles of restricted kinematic alignment, but uses additional boundaries in the sagittal & transverse planes. #BJO #Knee ow.ly/WBIx50T7tlh

The failure of revision surgery is a important topic and one that will require a great deal of future focused research. #BJO #Arthroplasty #OpenAccess boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

Key risk factors for re-revision total knee arthroplasty were age, male sex, partial index revision, and infection as index revision indication. Correctable risk factors were preoperative anaemia and BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2. #BJO #Healthcare #Patients #FOAMed ow.ly/7QKR50T7xPA

It is really good to see groups thinking beyond the coronal plane and managing knee arthroplasty three-dimensionally. #BJO #OrthoTwitter #Research @samuelmacdessi boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

Despite widespread optimism & excitement about the capabilities of artificial intelligence & machine-learning, researchers & clinicians must be critical as to whether these methods are indicated & the quality of data used. #BJO #OrthoTwitter @kylekunzemd ow.ly/oYEl50TcEvv

There were 102 (4%) female orthopaedic surgeons contributing to the NJR, out of 2,895 surgeons. The highest proportion of female surgeons were among those who performed elbow (5%), shoulder (4%), and ankle (4%) arthroplasty. #Diversity #BJO #Gender ow.ly/KVI450T7tH4

Nearly 3k surgeons contribute cases to the National Joint Registry - only 4% are women. To my dismay #knees are the worst! Only 2% of knee replacement surgeons in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are women! #sortitout #BASK

Metacarpal shaft fractures are common injuries. There is considerable heterogeneity in treatments, with no consensus on acceptable deformity and indications for surgical intervention. #Fracture #Research #MedTwitter #BJO ow.ly/ZVFy50T7yiM
