Great talk on OA: everthing but surgery by Stacey Lalande and Harvinder, importance of listening to the patients problems, shared decision making and discussing options… need for more research in to the right approach for the non surgical group 💪 British Elbow & Shoulder Society

One to prioritise reading for lots of reasons - smallest worthwhile effect of discectomy vs. non-surgical treatments for people with sciatica. Really valuable analysis from Giovanni Ferreira Prof Manuela Ferreira & co. Well done team 👏 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Measurement of femoral version angles differs depending on the method used to almost 20°, which is in the range of the aimed surgical correction in derotation femoral osteotomy, and thus can be considered clinically relevant. #BJO #HipSurgery #Research ow.ly/UhsY50WeS7e

Ahead of the publication of the NHS 10 Year Plan, we take a closer look at the three key areas earmarked for change. We have been making the case for the physiotherapy and rehab need across all three shifts. #RightToRehab csp.org.uk/frontline/arti…

Interesting data from Germany on treatment modalities used by physiotherapists for hip or knee osteoarthritis - interventions with limited evidence still in use. Sure it's reflected globally. Valuable reflections academic.oup.com/ptj/advance-ar…

Megafu et al showed that the RCTs in the ACLR peer-reviewed literature evaluating autograft versus allograft use are vulnerable to a small number of outcome event reversals and exemplify significant statistical fragility in statistically significant findings. #ACLReconstruction

This study by Son et al shows an increasing trend in the use of clinically significant outcome metrics for interpretation of PROs; however, these individual metrics are often not being used on the individual level and subsequently not reported accurately. #OutcomeMetrics #MCID
