The BOA, The Royal College of Surgeons of England and The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh have produced guidance documents for hospitals when setting up a new MSK robotic surgical service, and a guide for patients on robot-assisted hip and knee arthroplasty. All are available on the BOA website at boa.ac.uk/robotics

Great to see this published by BOA and proud to have been involved as part of RCS Robotic and Digital Surgery Initiative RADAR : Best practice guide for adopting robotics into your practice and #patient information on what robotic #hip and #knee replacement does and doesn’t deliver 🤖🦴

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are among the most common knee injuries in professional athletes, with an incidence in females up to eight-times higher than their male counterparts. #ACL #WomenInSport #BJO Fabio Mancino Andreas Fontalis Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/SVXm50QIbC3

This large-scale study compared the LOS and discharge dispositions of patients undergoing robotic arm-assisted THA with those undergoing conventional THA at a single, high-volume, tertiary centre. #Robotics #THA #BJJ Andreas Fontalis Fabio Mancino Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/EolV50QJLML

Last month's most downloaded paper reported that ACL injuries are among the most common in professional athletes, with an incidence in females up to eight-times higher than their male counterparts. #BJO #WomenInSport Fabio Mancino Andreas Fontalis Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/3ceO50QZvX9

Thank you The Bone & Joint Journal!!! Very grateful to the Freemasons’ Hall, the Arthritis Research Trust and the The Royal College of Surgeons of England for their generous support through the Freemason’s Royal Arch Fellowship with support of the Arthritis Research Trust 🙏 My heartfelt thank you to all my co-authors! 🙏

Prof Fares Haddad Andreas Fontalis UCL Div of Surgery UCLH Great study. It raises the question whether current PROMs are actually sensitive enough the measure differences that might actually matter to patients. This a similar outcome to earlier generation CAOS - ie more accurate, but similar PROMs.

“...I'm in a position to apply new techniques and ideas to my own research.” Reviewer Andreas Fontalis tells us why he enjoys being involved with the #BJJ! If you'd like to find out more about reviewing, click on the link below! #PeerReview #Research ow.ly/QSVO50SjSaA

We’re very excited to welcome our new ST3 registrars to the Percivall Pott rotation! Congratulations on securing your national training numbers.

Robotic arm-assisted revision of UKA to TKA was associated with comparable intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, limb alignment, functional outcomes & complications to primary robotic TKA. #BJJ #Knee Fabio Mancino Andreas Fontalis Mr Ahmed Magan ow.ly/H2bg50SKKHl

While the level of dissatisfaction after TKA is estimated at just 10%, this still means that more than 8,000 patients annually in the UK & more than 70,000 in the USA remain unhappy after TKA. #BJJ #Knee #Arthroplasty Fabio Mancino Andreas Fontalis Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/rGpe50SN0i0

Mark your calendars! We're excited to invite you all to the 51st percivall pott ASM & dinner on 15 November 2024! Stay tuned as we unveil our exceptional line up of guest speakers! We look forward to welcoming you all. Tickets: pottrotation.co.uk pramod achan

Preoperative CT-based planning is rapidly becoming a requirement for improving the accuracy and reproducibility of the positioning of components in total knee arthroplasty. #BJJ #Robotics #Patients Fabio Mancino Andreas Fontalis Mr Ahmed Magan Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/gR6050T8te4

This study highlights the feasibility of using an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict impingement in total hip arthroplasty based on individual spinopelvic mechanics and patient phenotype. #BJO Andreas Fontalis Fabio Mancino Evangelos Mazomenos Prof Fares Haddad ow.ly/G0GG50T7z06
