@wrightingtonLLU Great work guys!

A successful day at the BHS Principles of Arthroplasty course at Wrightington today. Thank you to our excellent faculty and delegates. Supported by the John Charnley Trust #BHS #hipsurgeon #orthopaedics

great day teaching at the BHS Principles of Hip Arthroplasty Course at @wrightingtonLLU with some incredible faculty including @tim_n_board @rob_banjo , Asim Rajpura, Debbie Shaw and excellently organised by @Whelton_Chris

@sportsdoc2016 @traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @orthotraumamd @generalorthomd Yes. I use the blade. I’ve had it 2x. I’ve set the screw with the flexible driver to allow sliding and then with the torque to ‘lock’. I now open and cable the lateral spike to prevent the sliding.

Has anyone had this issue with Synthes nails? I locked down the set screw with the torque screwdriver to prevent sliding. 2 weeks postop film. 82 yo lady. I’ve also had 2 lag screws migrate proximally. @traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @orthotraumamd @generalorthomd #orthotwitter

Please can any Ortho surgeons take a minute to complete this survey on bridge plating to prevent interprosthetic fractures? forms.gle/Qzh2AzxP6zRF92…

Please try and help us establish what’s important to surgeons in this situation!
