    David Sellu, who was wrongly investigated by the @gmcuk jailed then acquitted, telling @BritOrthopaedic course the scary reality of GMC investigations. Non-Caucasians and immigrant doctors are > 2x likely to be investigated. 33 doctors committed suicide while under investigation

    We do learn from twitter! 📝 @InvictaOrtho tweeted on reducing fibula with clamp then hold distal fragment with wire to tibia and remove clamp. Plate positioning is easy 💪without clamp in the way. Used in may cases since and it works really well. Thank you for a very useful tip

    Ortho fix of #acetabulum and #pelvis is great fun. Blackboard painted pelvis with chalk mark if fracture and plan is great learning toy for baby surgeons and sure tool for grown up surgeons. Love it 👏🏼👍🏽✊ #trauma #oxfordtrauma #ouh

    #Orthotwitter Failing to plan = planning to fail Preop planning + intraop planning is crucial in #trauma surgery. Marking inlet, outlet plains allows easier position of fluoroscopy and guide wire positioning. Sup-Inf and Ant-Post directions vary according to pelvic incidence
