Despite advancements in management, such as modifications of partial wrist arthrodesis techniques and increasing use of total wrist replacements, in most scenarios there is no single preferred option.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey amongst orthopaedic trainees to explore PPE practice in 19 hospitals caring for hip fracture patients in the North West of England.
Results: During the second wave of the pandemic, 14/19 (74%) hospitals experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 amongst staff or patients on the orthopaedic wards.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different types of reamers (acorn vs. fluted) affect the size and shape of the tibial tunnel's outer aperture during ACL reconstruction.
- Results showed that a 10-degree deviation from the guidewire had minimal impact on the acorn reamer's aperture dimensions but significantly increased the length of the aperture when using the fluted reamer.
- The fluted reamer produced a larger and irregularly shaped aperture compared to the acorn reamer, highlighting the importance of choosing the right reamer for optimal tunnel creation in ACL surgery.
