Audit: sonographic report correlation against surgical findings during elective shoulder surgery.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound is an expanding clinical tool and increasingly used at point of care in clinical practice. Criticism around the accuracy of this modality is often attributed to operator dependence. This study evaluated the accuracy of a sonographer's reporting against shoulder surgery.

Digital templating without a calibration marker is accurate at predicting implant size for hip hemiarthroplasty.

Introduction: This study aims to assess the accuracy of digital templating for hip hemiarthroplasty using radiographs without calibration.

Methods: Two independent, blinded observers retrospectively utilised digital software to template 50 consecutive patients who had hip hemiarthroplasty. The templated parameters (head size, offset and stem size) derived from pre-operative radiographs were compared to the actual prosthetic sizes used intra-operatively.
