This month's featured author is Mrs Annabelle Iken, PhD Candidate at Leiden University Medical Center. Her paper establishes a multidisciplinary health research agenda to identify & prioritize evidence gaps in orthopaedics. Read more below! #BJO #Ortho ow.ly/YIvq50Wn9pO

Staged and unstaged growing rod insertion results in comparable coronal and sagittal curve correction and thoracic height growth. #BJO #Scoliosis #Research #Spine #OpenAccess ow.ly/CHBy50WvlKt

There is a wide variation in patients’ functional pelvic positioning in both supine and standing radiographs which rarely correlates with the anterior pelvic plane. #BJO #Hip #Surgeons #Research ow.ly/Pbxr50Wircp

The aim of this study is to systematically review the existing literature discussing the environmental impact of orthopaedic surgery and describing current sustainable practices in orthopaedic surgery. #BJO #OrthoTwitter #Environment #Sustainability ow.ly/hyTI50WsI5w

Comminuted radial head fractures treated with bipolar radial head arthroplasty show favourable clinical outcomes, including improved function, minimal pain, and high patient satisfaction. #BJO #Elbow #Fracture #Surgery #Patients ow.ly/Ycut50WjQ4l

Despite being designed for cuff tear arthropathy, reverse shoulder arthroplasty is being used for a range of indications in the UK. Revision rates and secondary surgery are broadly similar between indications except for trauma sequalae. #BJO #Shoulder ow.ly/QzN550WjNKK

✨ NEW EPISODE! ✨ In under five minutes, we explore a paper highlighting the biomechanical challenges of trochanteric fractures in the crucial role that both the lateral wall & the lesser trocanter play in mechanical stability. Listen today! #BJO ow.ly/ANn550Wr2sY

This study demonstrates that MUTARS endoprosthetic reconstruction of the proximal humerus provides satisfactory long-term outcomes with relatively low rates of mechanical complications and implant loosening. #BJO #ShoulderArthroplasty #Oncology #Tumor ow.ly/PjFm50WjPXy

This study highlights the clinical equivalence of cemented and cementless total knee arthroplasty in terms of early survivorship and radiological stability. #BJO #Knee #Arthroplasty #Patients #Radiology ow.ly/Q6JH50WjOyY

No relevant clinical advantage was found with total hip arthroplasty compared to hemiarthroplasty in fit patients aged 50 to 70 years with a displaced femoral neck fracture. #BJO #Trauma #Fracture #Arthroplasty #OrthoTwitter @FredeFrihagen @daxelrod ow.ly/3BRX50WmzZw
