Another great @BOFAS_UK Conference, lots of important topics covered and plenty of local representation on the big stage @DessieGibson_ @_IOFAS. Nice to see interest in our recently published @BelfastLimbReco work and even nicer to win the Poster Prize!

Our results demonstrate similar medium term all-cause revision rates for both cementless and cemented fixation of these implants, which may help obviate some concerns about the former. @diamondo77 @Napier_RichardJ @torcni (2/2)

To our knowledge, this is the largest available cohort of such patients, with up to 15 years follow-up, in a resourced limb reconstruction service. We report outcomes that are favourable in comparison to previous studies that include similar patients undergoing CFF or ORIF.

My dad died on Christmas Eve. He waited for an ambulance for 3 hours before it was too late. He was only 58. Iāve fought my whole life to stop this kind of thing from happening. I admit defeat. Itās over. Weāve lost. The Tories have what they wanted.
