@gamigen @pratikorho Interesting, any idea how to get more details on this please? Thanks for posting.

@pratikorho Just saw it at a meeting. It’s a bipolar but it’s technique is almost like a PFNA. It is not available for clinical practice yet. But soon.

When PFNA2 has an affair with Bipolar Prosthesis! 🤓 The final saviour of all kind of proximal femur fractures is born! #medtwitter #orthotwitter

@Davembmd Happy to collaborate for any orthopaedic innovation projects . Will email you .

@orthotraumamd @traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @generalorthomd @FractureDoc @DrMarecek @DeformityDoc @itius @GLWMED Tks for the post Dr Oats . Additionally it failed due to fracture not reduced ? Toggling at the nail screw junction . Probably more academic - heard about this Von Missen forces that occur at the nail aperture higher in this case ? Keen learn more on this

@traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @generalorthomd @FractureDoc @DrMarecek @DeformityDoc @itius You gotta wonder if the reamer over the guidewire for the lag screw damaged the nail and contributed to early failure (along with other factors). This damage has been seen before for this nail and some newer nails like this from @GLWMED have a “lag shield.”

One for the Brains Trust... why did this fail and what would you do differently? mid 50s male, industrial fall from a height, isolated extremity injury, NV intact, closed. Large and heavy chap. Failed at 5 weeks. more ⬇️ #orthotwitter #orthoX #orthopedics #orthopedics

@doctorgelber @b23iu Fibula hemimelia in Larsen syndrome ? It’s associated with ACL deficiency

@b23iu Cruciate ligaments agenesia, some degree of arthrogryposis, increased PTS and so on…

First case of 2023 😅 Clue👉no history of trauma 😱

@OGdukeneurosurg @Davembmd Bmp4 deficiency - stone man syndrome

Describe this abnormality.

@DrEvaPatel @OfficialFV We waited 20 weeks . Being lied to , now again have to wait 14 week . Then they are telling we can pay you the cost of the furniture so that we can buy elsewhere. @OfficialFV you should be ashamed of your self .

@OfficialFV called FV last weekend to arrange return of our mattress, then ordered new mattress next day. All confirmed on the phone, but no order confirmation now for last week. Tired of calling on the phone, you say you will email but don’t

@Garybut38678945 @OfficialFV @OfficialFV sorry I’m not sure what else we can do . Complaint to ombudsman they said case closed ! After 20 weeks awaiting said some of my furniture will arrive today . It then got to know it was never ordered ! It will take another 14 weeks for it to deliver. !

@OfficialFV just recieved our third Arianna corner sofa quality seems a lot better but 200mm gap on back cushions. don't see the gap in the showroom sofa or in the pictures online a company going down hill very fast. so dissapointing again........

@alexoakes_ @OfficialFV Agree with the awful service , I urge all who have affected to seek Ombudsman help . Let’s get together to fight this

@OfficialFV I have gone in store, untold phone calls and several emails to still have no help. I have taken days off work. Everyone I have told my story will never use your company. Your staff members are rude, nonchalant and ignorant.

@Davembmd This is going to be a great book Dr Bennet . I would like to contribute , please sign me up for a copy . Thank you .

@OfficialFV @PhillyHarrison Agree with that . Issue is if Furniture village not learning from their mistakes and accepting mistakes , there is no space for improvement.

@PhillyHarrison Good Morning I am very sorry to hear you missed the call and have not been able to get back in touch with the team, please DM us your details so we can take a look into this. Kind Regards Lewis

@OfficialFV Your Distribution Centre's phones/ procedures need a major overhaul! Missed a call from them on Tuesday and have not been able to get back through to them to arrange a delivery! 50 minutes hanging on this am as Caller No. 2! Seriously??!!

@GazEcc89 @RobertoCakes @OfficialFV I was told yesterday it was resolved but again got n email that it will be delivered tomorrow! No one from FV cared to update the delivery company! Shocker !

The worst customer experience I have ever had comes courtesy of @OfficialFV Furniture Village. Anyone else had bad service from them? How did you get it resolved? Been waiting for the store manager to call me for 4 weeks now. Because its a franchise, nothing head Office can do.

@OfficialFV @JezzaBuk Not yet received my money

@milindu2010 @JezzaBuk Hi The store have now resolved this issue with you and you accepted their resolution, if we can assist you any further please contact us over DM. Thanks Lewis

@OfficialFV Can somebody please respond? Placed order on 23/05/21 (8088E6469), advised 28 days, now well over 60 days. Can’t get through by phone, tried numerous times and never received a response to my email I sent via website, taken my cash, now can I have my goods please?

@OfficialFV @JezzaBuk Still it’s not resolved . @OfficialFV are you still in belief that my issue has been resolved ? Some third party calling my number without my consent . Only delivering to ground floor and leaving my goods unattended , seems it’s a delivery which should have gone to furnitureV

@OfficialFV @JezzaBuk It’s not a solution . I’m still awaiting whole lot of furnitures yet . And I will have to wait until I get the money in to my account first to accept your resolution.

@OfficialFV @JezzaBuk It’s been 15 weeks now , ridiculous unable to contact these people from FV, sent me broken drawer set for the second time ! I mean why no one cared to check second time before sending to the customer . This is one of many failures by Furniture village . Poor after sales

@JezzaBuk Hi Jeremy So we can address this would you please DM me your order details so we can check this for you. Kind Regards Lewis

@smeaftab @OrthoMasters Great . Thanks again .

@milindu2010 @OrthoMasters But@your question is a good one and one I had to think about when I was training

Review of myotomes:

@smeaftab @OrthoMasters Thanks a for the clarification.

@milindu2010 @OrthoMasters We're not saying that ASIA is wrong but tibialis anterior is mostly innervated by L5 and a bit by L4. That is why if you have loss of L5 signal intraoperatively you get a patient with a foot drop. Also why one of the sequelae of a L4/5 paracentral disc catching L5 is footdrop

@smeaftab @OrthoMasters In ASIA chart it’s L4 for ankle dorsiflexion

@milindu2010 @OrthoMasters Are you sure? What nerve root innervates most of tibialis anterior?
