I went to a talk he gave at the RSM on tuesday and it left me very impressed and inspired. In fact the whole evening was a great start to the Plastics section.

Journal Club - November

Hi all,

I was very impressed by the response to the first journal club paper. This month, I have chosen a paper that is very clinically relevant and addresses a common problem but management is often fraught with controversy. So this month's paper is:

J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2011 Oct;93(10):1362-6.

The non-operative functional management of patients with a rupture of the tendo Achillis leads to low rates of re-rupture.

Wallace RG, Heyes GJ, Michael AL.

I will pot my assessment in a few days time and would appreciate any input from you guys. Also if you would like to suggest any papers for next month, please go ahead! I would welcome input. FINALLY, I shall be putting up some posts on core training applications soon as well as more MRCS advice...
