Prof Imam and his team investigated this interesting subject. They investigated clinical outcomes, focusing on how results change over time. The findings indicate that the Latarjet procedure is associated with a lower risk of redislocation and recurrence, particularly in the long term (6-10 years post-operation). Conversely, the Bankart repair showed a lower risk of infection. Both procedures demonstrated comparable outcomes regarding patient-reported scores (Rowe score), the need for revision surgery, and the incidence of hematoma formation. The study emphasizes the importance of considering follow-up time when evaluating the efficacy of these surgical interventions for shoulder instability.

We define and explain femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a hip condition where irregular bone growth causes friction and damage. They detail the anatomy of the hip joint and differentiate between Cam, Pincer, and Combined types of FAI, often caused by abnormal bone formation during childhood or from other conditions.

This podcast covers a vast curriculum with a significant focus on orthopaedic trauma, including sections on anatomy and surgical approaches, biomechanical principles of fixation, and detailed discussions of various fracture types across the upper limb, lower limb, and spine. The text also addresses paediatric trauma, complications associated with injuries and treatments, and guidelines for patient management and rehabilitation, making it an invaluable resource for both exam preparation and foundational understanding in orthopaedic trauma.

An overview of hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, a prevalent foot deformity affecting the big toe joint. They discuss the etiology and contributing factors, such as genetics, age, and ill-fitting footwear, particularly high heels. The sources detail the pathophysiology, explaining how the bones, ligaments, and tendons shift out of alignment, and enumerate symptoms like pain, swelling, stiffness, and the visible bony bump. Furthermore, they outline the diagnosis process, which primarily involves physical examination and radiographic evaluation, and present various treatment and management options, ranging from conservative approaches like shoe modifications, orthotics, and pain relievers, to numerous surgical procedures, including osteotomies and arthrodesis, for cases where non-surgical methods fail. The texts also touch upon prognosis, recovery, potential complications, and preventive measures for this condition.
