What structures in the knee hurt the most? Well how about having someone poke around inside your knee WITHOUT anaesthesia to find out like the legend Scott Dye did here! 😳🤯 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9850777/

@carlespedret Congrats with your published article, beautiful figures

I'm really proud and happy for this one. A new anatomical approach to T-junction #hamstring injuries And I think I'm giving the full access link here thanks to Springer Nature SharedIt. Give it some love ❤️! link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s…

@KerinPerform @BJSM_BMJ Congratulation @KerinPerform

Delighted to see this editorial out in @BJSM_BMJ We talk so much about T-junction hamstring injuries, but opinion’s outpacing research (I’m as guilty as anyone). Big topic in sports medicine/rehab, yet still so little high-quality evidence to guide. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Sliding hip screws versus cancellous screws for femoral neck fractures in 1934 patients. Based on our study, the cancellous screws group was associated with less intraoperative blood loss in comparison with the SHS group. No other significant differences were found between the two interventions. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31165917/

Cortisol from exercising suppresses the subsequent cortisol response to a stressor. Exercise before doing something stressful.

NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PREPROCEDURAL FASTING AND WITNESSED PULMONARY ASPIRATION A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS I want to bring to everyone's attention the publication of an article we have been working on for some time. Ever been annoyed by having cases cancelled because a patient ate recently? I had this happen a couple of years ago. This motivated me to look at the preoperative fasting literature. I was surprised to learn how little actual evidence there is to support fasting policies. In our recent publication we point out that 1) aspiration rates are no different now than they were before fasting was imposed before administering anesthesia 2) The studies used in fasting research use surrogate outcomes that have never been shown to be relevant to human aspiration events. See the article published in Surgery (@SurgJournal) here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… There is a pressing need to rethink preoperative fasting policies. New studies are needed that employ proper endpoints to provide guidance for how long patients really need to fast. My guess is, not very long.

Looking back on a great Orthopedic & Sports medicine conference at the Johan Cruijff ArenA @ACES_Amsterdam. Definitely a conference to keep in mind for early 2026! acesamsterdam.nl/return-to-play….

@DrJN_SportsMed @PhysioButler Article claims additional diagnostic value, esp. in MRI-negative cases. Have never used it, curious if others have.

@AvanderMade @PhysioButler why in hip flexion?

Consent ✅ Longstanding proximal hamstrign tendinopathy Strength, function, exercise related pain much improved with rehabilitation But sitting / driving pain still a pain in ass 🍑 clear tenosynovitis (see MRI) but no tear or signficant tendinosis These are the ones that I will reluctantly do an US guided corticosteroid for (see video) or those with clear calcific component

@PhysioButler @DrJN_SportsMed Nice case & discussion! Do any of you use the mri in hip flexion position? Or always ‘normal’/supine position? (Ref: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39328883/)

@DrJN_SportsMed As someone who sees a lot of PHTs. Think with these difficult longstanding cases, where there’s been a clear clinical plan with progression, then ultrasound guided CSI is an option. Prefer to have MRI to exclude tear / peal away lesion and a suitable timeline of rehab.

Great new SR/MA by @AvanderMade at a time when I feel we are may be at the point of no return when it comes to “muscle-tendon” injuries in football. Not all “tendon” injuries are BAD but it’s rife amongst clincians and we’ve dragged coaches and players into believing this too!

When the syndesmosis is over compressed, the talus is spit forwards. It’s subtle if you’re not looking for it, but once you see it, don’t neglect it. It’s a subluxed incongruent ankle joint. #OrthoX

🚨🚨groin pain cheat table - updated! 🚨🚨 Groin injury clinical tests lack specificity with a large overlap across conditions... This makes the history, pain pattern, behaviour & mechanism of injury even more crucial Hopefully this table I've made will help you navigate⬇️
