The Royal Society of Medicine's Orthopaedic Section Podcast

Dr Louis Koizia (Imperial College London) is a consultant physician and geriatrician with a specialist interest in the medical management of older surgical patients. In this episode he discusses the pre, peri and post operative care for these patients - and what evidence supports these strategies. 

We speak with RSM Orthopaedic Section President Mr Michael Pearse (Imperial College London) about the management of fractured neck of femur patients. We cover the evidence and best practice guidelines. 

Professor Cecilia Rogmark (Lund University, Sweden) is featured on the podcast. She has an extensive experience in managing patients with hip fractures and has published widely in the field. In this episode we discuss hip fractures in younger patients and the HFU-60 trial. 

Mr. Khaled Sarraf (Imperial College London and The Cromwell Hospital) speaks with us about how we can differentiate between infection or inflammation in the paediatric hip. 

Professor Deborah Eastwood (Great Ormand Street Hospital and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital) speaks with us about late developmental dysplasia of the hip. 

Mr Greg Firth (Royal London Hospital) speaks with us about Perthes and the Neurological Hip. A great episode that covers these important concepts. 

Professor Dan Perry (NIHR Research Professor) speaks with us about developmental dysplasia of the hip, slipped capital femoral epiphysis and paediatric trauma trials. In this engaging and high-yield episode, he describes all the important factors we should be aware of in these common paediatric orthopaedic conditions. 

We speak with Professor Matt Costa (Oxford, UK) about the importance of research in orthopaedics. Is it still important for trainees? How can you get involved? What are the tips and tricks? This lively discussion also covers his own path into pursuing an academic orthopaedic career. A great episode that helps demystify the world of academic orthopaedics. 

We speak with Professor Bert Perey (Vancouver, Canada) about the WRIST trial. We discuss the implications of it's findings and the follow-up studies that may also change practice in the management of distal radius fractures. This lively discussion covers the latest evidence and how to apply it to the patients being treated. 

Mr. Lee Van Rensburg (Cambridge, UK) takes us through elbow trauma including how to keep the elbow stable, tips and tricks for managing the unstable elbow, when to fix or replace a radial head fracture and how to avoid stiffness after elbow trauma. This in-depth discussion covers the evidence and rationale behind different treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes following elbow trauma.
