NEW PODCAST!🎙️ Final episode in our @HandClinic mini-series: Ed and physio Emma discuss “Trauma.” A very useful listen if you love sport and even if you don’t, did you realise that something simple like making the bed has been damaging for many…🙈 yourharrogate.co.uk/podcast/…

As hand surgeons, we save the world, one finger at a time, whether in the OR, or on the mountains--what are your tips and tricks on reducing PIP dislocaitons?

We are honoured to be recognised by a Lviv hospital where UK-Med surgeons have been supporting local staff. This project has been a partnership between NHS and Ukrainian surgeons, working together to address complex injuries suffered in the conflict.

Subtle finger, hand and wrist movements are essential to being able to ride smoothly at speed, the feedback of physical sensations through the handlebars is vital that's why it's so important to have Mr Ed Powell-Smith @HandClinic #onhand who is #simplythebest @harrogatenhsft

A day well spent with the family.

Surgeons are often concerned about lack of lateral stability when discussing DIPJ arthroplasty esp in the radial digits but I have not seen it as a problem. This is the function you can expect after an index finger DIPJ replacement. #handsurgery #orthotwitter

6 years post DIP joint arthroplasty. Technically not too difficult to do. Op done under ring block and implant cheaper than a headless compression screw. Full ROM and pain free. Not sure why more people aren’t doing these? #orthotwitter #FOAMed (ps it’s the index finger!)

Great work by @yorfac on developing the pathway for dynamic exertional compartment pressure testing. Although unusual in the upper limb the effects can be significant and diagnosis can be challenging as elite rower @alicevodden discovered and wrote about her experiences.

Replying to @yorfac
I mainly assess & treat these problems affecting the lower limb, but they can occur in other muscle groups. Check out this blog by elite rower Alice Vodden whose upper limb CECS I helped @HandClinic diagnose & treat @HarrogateNHSFT britishrowing.org/2019/02/ch…

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome: increasing awareness for rowers - British Rowing

Warwick student rower Alice Vodden struggled with significant arm pain while training. It was eventually diagnosed as a rare condition called chronic exertional compartment syndrome #YourStories
