Q&A Session: Learning from Mistakes: Shoulder Injuries and Hand and Wrist

Description

The VTT captures a dynamic and interactive surgical discussion following two insightful presentations by expert speakers, Maneesh Bhatia and Amar Rangan. The conversation begins with Bhatia thanking the speakers and introducing audience questions. Professor Rangan discusses the importance of performing comprehensive neurological examinations particularly after spinal injuries, emphasizing the need to train junior colleagues in proper assessment techniques. Following this, Professor Joe Dias addresses topics regarding distal radius fractures, outlining crucial steps to reduce intra-articular steps during surgery and discussing the challenges of fixation failure and options for addressing complications. The session continues with a dialogue about the decision-making process in surgical interventions, with emphasis on the importance of collaborative discussions among peers to improve surgical outcomes. Both Rangan and Dias provide nuanced insights into specific scenarios including indications for strut grafts in proximal humerus fractures, which they carefully analyze. The discussion showcases the expertise of seasoned surgeons grappling with complex operative situations, detailing protocols and clinical judgments that highlight their depth of knowledge.
