A huge congrats to my team of Editors & Contributors for their efforts. “50 Studies Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Should Know” by @OUPMedicine available at all major retailers and at global.oup.com/academic/prod…. This has summarised landmark clinical evidence-based studies in T&O practice
A large proportion of female T&O surgeons have and want children. T&O surgeons in the UK delay childbearing, have experienced bias, and have high rates of infertility and obstetric complications.
