Fantastic time earlier this week on the advanced arthroscopy course, teaching alongside Bobby Anand in the new Ortho Surgical Skills Centre (OSSC) in Newbury.
Thanks to the Stryker Sports Medicine team for putting together a well-run day, looking forward to the next one!

Great work from the whole @ABUHB_Research team to hit our local target and for being one of the best recruiting sites in the country. Thanks to all our patients who have enrolled.

Congratulations to @AneurinBevanUHB@RepportTrial team who have reached the local recruitment target! The study is looking to find the best treatment for people with repeated knee dislocations.

BOA response to The Times (1st May, 2025) article suggesting orthopaedic surgery is primarily suited to men due to the physical nature of the work: “outdated and derogatory.”
BOA President Mark Bowditch: “Skill, judgement and teamwork—not gender—define a good surgeon.”

Another strong month for REPPORT, as we approach our 200th randomised participant milestone!
Huge thanks to our amazing sites for their recruitment efforts and data query support.👏
Note: Our trial office will be closed on Monday 5th May for the Bank Holiday!🗓️
ALT Graphic detailing April round-up for the REPPORT study: 194 participants have been randomised, 520 patients screened, 32 sites are open. Kudos to Wolverhampton, Southampton, and Leeds, who randomised their first participants this month! Kudos to Aneurin Bevan who were the top recruiting sites this month. Kudos to Colchester for their stellar screening efforts!

Kudos to our egg-ceptional team at @AneurinBevanUHB who have gone the egg-stra mile and randomised two participants to REPPORT this week, just in time for Easter!🐇

Functional alignment & adjusted mechanical alignment are recognized techniques for TKA. Does an individualized alignment technique affect kinematic pattern & clinical outcomes compared to a systematic alignment technique?

Excellent results can be achieved with both robotic partial and total knee arthroplasties. Partial knee arthroplasties achieve superior outcomes in the early postoperative period.
