The Bone Club

We discuss three papers on Fracture Related Infections including:

1. General treatment principles for fracture-related infection: recommendations from an international expert group (PMID: 31659475)

2. Effect of intrawound vancomycin powder in operatively treated high-risk tibia fractures: A randomized clinical trial (PMID: 33760010)

3. A machine learning algorithm to identify patients with tibial shaft fractures at risk for infection after operative treatment (PMID: 33394819)

We're joined by senior author Willem-Jan Metsemakers and consultant surgeon Deepa Bose as we discuss this area of high importance. 

We are joined by Professor Neil Mortensen, Professor Deborah Eastwood, Ms Tricia Campbell, Ms Anthea Davy, Ms Naomi Davis, Dr. Jen Weiss and Mr Nick Ferran for a round table discussion on diversity in orthopaedics. Moderated by Ms Karen Chui and Mr Akib Khan. This is a high yield discussion which is relevant to all surgeons. 

Flat Feet don’t need treating unless they need treating. How often have you heard that paradox? For too long flat feet have been Ill understood and often poorly treated - but that’s all about to change as some of the world’s greatest minds come together to reimagine this complex orthopaedic and biomechanical enigma.
