Consent✅ - this is a beauty 🤓 Elite runner Crampy, aching lateral knee pain - onset at around 20-30 mins Seen multiple clinicians - had numerous injections including ITB plus extensive rehabilitation - refractory Almost 'claudicant' in nature - settles quickly on cessation of exercise - spreads both proximal & distal to lateral joint line No spinal symptoms & LSp assessment clear No lateral compartment pathology eg meniscal tear Had popliteus tendinopathy on US, but minimal response to my initial diagnostic injection POCUS video - The inferolateral genicular neurovascular bundle ('pepper pot' structure) is seen compressed under the distal ITB on active knee flexion : terminal extension Patient localises pain in this area with probe pressure Injection - hydrodissection (CSI, LA) - fluid seen separating plane just superficial to NV bundle 100% pain relief on extended treadmill test beyond 45 mins 👍 I wonder how many recalcitrant 'ITB' cases are actually neurovascular in aetiology? 🧐 Plan - considering angiography, MR neurography & possible distal ITB release at Gerdy's tubercle if not responsive to injection

Nine months ago I embarked on my very first taught, in person CPD course. Four years in the making. Its been tough but highly enjoyable. Mastering Lumbar Radiculopathy. All of my knowledge from the spinal clinic, underpinned by science with a lack of fluff. I have now delivered five of them. Four in-person courses and a very successful six part, six week online version. I also developed a professional website and managed to complete my ACP Masters.🎓 It is maybe not the most well known CPD course but i think the content speaks for itself and I have now properly finalised all of my artwork for the vascular, hip and myelopathy sections of Day 2 💪 Thank you to those who have supported and collaborated with me in 2025. I will soon announce a 2026 London Date 🤟 theradicularclinician.com/ @PrimaryCareMSK @rob_chiro @martinthomas11 @clinicalphysio @ClementsCharl96 @physiojack @Martin_Nekkolai @BillingMartin @Irish_Physio

For the people at the back - 1. Distance runner with ramp in load +/- REDS risk factors 2. Positive hop test 3. Positive FADDIR 4. Weak / painful on iliopsoas testing This is 99.9% likely to be a neck of femur stress injury IT ISN'T A TIGHT HIP FLEXOR
Consent✅ So - how many times do I have to say this? This is close to my 200th case - medial neck of femur stress injury, in a runner who is over-training, misdiagnosed as a 'hip flexor' problem 🤮🤢 Look at the video & appreciate why the 'hip flexor' might be implicated

👩‍⚕️🧠 Been a while since you had a proper red flags refresher? You're not alone. In MSK & primary care, it’s easy to default to safety netting or over-investigating! But the confidence to recognise serious pathology early can change everything!! That’s why we teamed up with @ClementsCharl96 again for his Recognising Red Flags CPD course: ✔️ Half-day, live + interactive ✔️ Real-world cases (no textbook waffle) ✔️ Covers CES, malignancy, fractures, myelopathy + more ✔️ Designed for busy MSK clinicians + FCPs ✔️ CPD certificate and recording access ✔️ Affordable, practical, confidence-boosting 🗓️ Saturday 7th June 🕘 9am–1pm | 💻 Online 🎟️ Reply "discount" to this post and we'll send you a cheeky discount code! 📩 Tickets: eventbrite.co.uk/e/135252333… Whether you're a new FCP or 10 years in, a solid red flag refresher isn’t just helpful - it’s essential. #PrimarycareMSK #MSK #FCP #redflags #physio

A BIG personal update – my Radicular Clinician 2.0 website is now officially live! 😍 It’s taken the best part of six months and is now 99% finished. I’ve taken the best bits from my early self-built version and brought them into something far more refined. The site is now the home of my Instruction Manual Collection, properly showcases my Mastering Lumbar Radiculopathy course , extra content, and serves as my main point of contact outside of social media. I’d be really grateful if you took a moment to check it out, say some nice things😆 👉 theradicularclinician.com Huge thanks to Tedy and the team at T&B Media, Megan Geddis & MHG Photography @PhotographyMhg Jerome Fryer and @dynamicdisc and most importantly, my father Mark Dobson, who has become the face of this wider project over the last three years. It might not be a big thing by most people’s standards, but to me, it’s high-class and a milestone in my Radicular Clinician journey 😊

🚩 Are you confident in recognising red flags in MSK care? 🚩 In the fast-paced primary care setting, we’re expected to identify serious conditions, manage complex cases, and provide clear, effective advice within a 20-minute appointment. It’s nuts! However, let’s be honest: ❓ How confident are you in identifying early signs of cauda equina syndrome and how to navigate the complexity and variability of this condition? ❓Would you feel prepared to manage a patient with suspected spinal cancer? ❓ Could you differentiate between a vertebral insufficiency fracture and mechanical back pain? The stakes are high, and the pressure is real. Missing a red flag can have life-altering consequences for patients, and it’s something we all want to avoid! That’s why we’re hosting “Recognizing Red Flags,” with the brilliant @ClementsCharl96 ! A half-day course designed to equip you with: - Clear strategies to identify and respond to critical red flags. - Confidence in managing serious conditions using evidence-based tools. - Case studies that enhance your clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. 📅 Mark your calendars: Saturday, February 22nd, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. 📍 Join us online (from anywhere in the world!) 🎥 Recording available 🎟️ Tickets are available, but I should let you know that spaces are limited. Click below to secure your spot: eventbrite.co.uk/e/113039255… 💡 What’s the most challenging red flag you’ve encountered in MSK care? Let me know below! 👇

Been asked a number of times re groin patterns recently by DM and i’m teaching sessions so thought i’d re post this.
🚨🚨groin pain cheat table - updated! 🚨🚨 Groin injury clinical tests lack specificity with a large overlap across conditions... This makes the history, pain pattern, behaviour & mechanism of injury even more crucial Hopefully this table I've made will help you navigate⬇️
