Juggling emergency and planned operations tonight consultant orthopaedic surgeon Ben Bloch explains efforts to protect hip and knee and other elective work during winter. 3,300 people are on orthopaedic waiting lists in Nottingham some waiting 1yr+. ⁦⁦BBC East Midlands⁩ 1830

Nice to see our latest paper in press The Journal of Arthroplasty! Thanks to kevin ilo, Reshid Berber, Ben van Duren, Hosam Matar & Andrew Manktelow for their contributions! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A massive thank you to my fellow for a frankly amazing gift at the end of her fellowship… (Although arthroplasty has always been great, of course!)

Our latest paper from Nottingham Hip & Knee is now out online - comparing cemented, stemmed cemented and cementless total knee arthroplasty in the obese patients. We found no incidences of aseptic tibial loosening with either a tibial stem or a cementless TKR. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

The more I see & hear about ASCs in 🇺🇸, the more I think the NHS needs them here. Run by clinicians -> increased innovation & efficiency & incentivised activity -> increased productivity Plus ring fenced so no winter pressures problem

Thank you very much to Arthroplasty Today for highlighting our paper from Nottingham Hip & Knee, and to Ashton Goldman, MD, FAAOS for the visual abstract!

Many congratulations to the whole Nottingham Hip & Knee, NUH Therapies, Harvey 1 & Neo Theatres teams - yesterday we discharged our 400th day case joint replacement since the new short stay pathway was introduced 18m ago!

“The RCP has announced that it supports a change in nomenclature for PAs. RCP Council today (19 March 2025) has agreed that the job title of a PA should be renamed to 'physician assistant’ - RCP submission for #Lengreview rcp.ac.uk/news-and-media…

I'm really proud of the whole team for their efforts in delivering this milestone. We implemented this new pathway in August 2023, & overnight reduced our median length of stay from 4 days to 1 day. Now almost 30% of joint replacements go home on the day! Onwards and upwards...

Anyone remember MTAS (2007)? I do… I was caught up in it! I’m not sure any lessons have been learned…

I’m shocked, shocked! to discover that that micro-fragmented adipose tissue “stem cells” are no better than placebo for the treatment of knee OA. (Well, not that shocked)

As seen at many orthopaedic conferences…

Lovely to be at #BASK2025 in Harrogate & pleased to present our posters from Nottingham Hip & Knee
