🔍 93% of surgeons order pre-op tests (mostly EDx)
⚠️ Only 6% follow expert consensus to use both EDX & ultrasound
🔪 6 in 10 still operate even if tests are normal

#MRI friends 🚨 Use SMS 2 for diffusion🚨
SMS 2 = no bias vs non-SMS acquisitions, even with max TR reduction
SMS 3 & 4 = ADC overestimations of 5% and 9%, respectively

Thanks & 👏 to my co-authors and @CaliberMRI
Is there a dose-response relationship between the concentration of topical skin antiseptic (chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine) and the risk of surgical site infection?

93% of surgeons order tests to diagnose cubital tunnel syndrome
BUT
6 in 10 still operate when test results are normal 🤯
The diagnostic pathway for cubital tunnel syndrome must be standardised

In this study, 40% of patients undergoing CTS surgery had amyloid deposits, and a third if those agreeing to come tor an evaluation had symptoms.

Final Call - what preoperative tests do you order for cubital tunnel syndrome 👉 forms.gle/ohQLNzF1tzYDHvRH8
So far, ~9 in 10 surgeons order EDx but then, half ignore the results and operate anyway.
Bring on the @DIAGNOSIS_CuTS study!

I’m excited to announce our five year follow up study has been published!

Prophylactic antibiotics in hand trauma surgery: a network meta-analysis
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf191
Across 13 RCTs, 2 non-randomized studies, and 3898 participants, prophylactic antibiotics did not significantly reduce surgical site infection risk in hand and wrist trauma surgery (highest-ranking regimen RR 0.29, 95% c.i. 0.04, 2.13)
Further well-designed RCTs are needed to address residual uncertainty
