Adidas just hit so hard with football shirts
VERSUS@vsrsus
adidas unveil Spain’s 2026 away kit.

@RosbifsRugby Ah that’s terrible! Mine has just arrived at my local Adidas to pick up but I did order as soon as I saw it…
English
Imagine having one of these ordered, only to find out 5 days later your order isn't being fulfilled...
Sheer devastation.

Ah man Lauren, way to take the mickey, speaking to Jalibert in French and then translating live to Welsh.
Leave it out @laurenemmaj!!!

@WestMidRailway Are you guys going to hold the 20:13 to Euston at a Crewe for all of us who couldn’t get on a train at Liverpool Lime Street?

@deepamusafir1 @ignatiusliew @Schoolofsurg @orji_ck I also think in some of the subspecialties it’s very hard to accumulate the volume of cases needed during training to start as a consultant - I’m thinking with my paeds hat on, where there’s lots of operations we don’t do very often!
English
@ignatiusliew @Schoolofsurg @orji_ck There isn't an easy solution as currently we need day one orthopaedic surgeons to be "on call ready" to deal with all emergencies that come through the door, but to be subspecialists in their everyday practice.
English
You’ll read the curriculum and think this is obvious. The status quo is that training is completed during fellowship and one without fellowship is incompletely baked.
Fellowship seems to be a requirement for employment but the last 2 years of training are ‘designed for that’
Jon Lund@Schoolofsurg
@SurgeryHPB @rcpsglasgow @JohnCam_Brennan @asgbi Interesting. Surely better to train people for their role when they’re trainees, though? Currently no facility to train consultant colleagues and creates all sorts of imbalances. Fellowships should be discouraged on the whole. Discriminatory and have a life time impact on income

@ChefDoomy @KITH Hoping to get early access with the Vitality raffle 🤞🤞🤞

@ChBen87 Of course! Just create your UK account with the same email address.
English
When the UK site goes live, you'll want to create an account there with the same email that you currently use.
On Friday, there will be a new region in-app (in addition to Worldwide, EU, CA). Switch to the UK region and you're all set.
Damian Pang@DamianP87
@AndyOliverWpg What about from an app POV? Would those of us in the UK need to do anything since we currently log in via eu.

@Harlequins @DHLRugbyUK I’d buy one of those cushions (maybe 2)

@ShaunLintern My on-call this weekend was fuelled by oatcakes! The really good shops open at 5 in the morning
English
Am having to visit my parents in Stoke a lot more regularly at the moment thanks to the horror of #MND but one silver lining is a decent supply of fresh Staffordshire oatcakes in London. #ifyouknowyouknow

@traumaticum @Gnomelover1970 I worked for someone who would cut the end off a TENS nail to make it sharper before a Metaizeau. Never been brave enough to try it myself
English
@Gnomelover1970 synthes TENS have a flat 'blade' tip which can engage the trabecular bone just distal to the physis. you do get 'bite'. its a bit tenuous, but the beauty of peads stuff is that it doesnt need to hold for long before the bone gets sticky 1/2

Rabbit hole

Things stick in your head.
During GEN, paediatric radial head webinar.
Suggested k wire instead of Metaizeau better to control paediatric radial head.
I’m not even sure once reduced if it even needs fixation.
If I’m gonna fix it, I want to move it.

@CharlieFelix Some pass off his left hand for the Kolbe try. People would be raving about it if he was a 10!

Andre Esterhuizen deserves that. His best Test match?

Statement territory from the Springboks now. Woosh.

@AndyOliverWpg Are we getting the Wilson Monday program collection in the EU Andy?

$100 authorization being held for bookings. Will only be charged if there’s cancels or no shows. Otherwise, it’s free to play! Book away in the Kith App. Booking is for the full court.
Adham@ChefDoomy
In celebration of the launch of Kith Ivy, a padel court was built inside Grand Central Station, 60-minute slots available for booking. Bookings now open in the Kith app. 📸: @RonnieFieg

@GrahamMcNeill I dunno, putting your hand out to pet the creepy giant worm thing hissing scarily was pretty dumb

Compared to the crew of the Maginot, the folks on Prometheus were absolute geniuses of careful thought, caution, and preparation.

@traumaticum They’re Thrust plates I think, Prof used to put them in at Oswestry - @rob_banjo would know better than me!
English
@deepamusafir1 @traumaticum @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE Sounds like a really positive move. I remember learning about scatter from the II for the exam but don’t remember specific stuff about surgeon safety
Not to detract from the original discussion but I’m sure my hearing has also gotten worse, which I assume could be occupational
English
@ChBen87 @traumaticum @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE Absolutely. One of the reasons why we are proposing the inclusion of radiation protection in the next iteration of the curriculum.
English
It has been a while since we've known about this, but so far have seen no real action as a result. Who is responsible for providing adequate protection? @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE
Bone & Joint 360@BoneJoint360
All female orthopaedic surgeons should be provided with personal protective equipment that shields the upper outer quadrant from ionizing radiation, which has been proven to cause breast cancer. #BJ360 #OrthoTwitter #WomenInSurgery #BreastCancer boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…
English
@deepamusafir1 @traumaticum @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE Presumably also a particularly relevant topic for trainees who would use more x-ray during a procedure?
English
@traumaticum @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE In certain procedures like distal locking (as shown) it is actually high, as we're standing in the beam, and exposing the axilla.
English
@traumaticum @deepamusafir1 @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE Have never seen a pair of lead glasses in a UK theatre
English
@deepamusafir1 @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @JCST_Surgery @COPSSNews @NHSE_WTE Yes and no. Ortho is rather low radiation exposure, compared to interventional radiology/vascular/cardiology where a lot of these recommendations come from.
Could argue lead glasses have a higher priority? Are these common in the uk?
