Programme 2021

The desperately long waiting lists following the pandemic give an opportunity to do things better. Perioperative care is everything from the moment an operation is contemplated through to full recovery.

This session starts the BOA congress and is co-badged with the Centre for Perioperative Care (www.cpoc.org.uk). The aim is to harness massive benefits for each patient and for the service. Clear pathways standardising care involve all staff and identify where a patient needs an individual intervention. A perioperative approach can reduce complications by 30%-80% and length of stay by 1-2 days.

Getting It Right First Time (www.gettingitrightfirsttime.co.uk) has highlighted unwarranted variation in practice and results. GIRFT reported on Orthopaedics in 2015 and 2020, showing individual units their own data and identifying how to aim for top decile working. For Orthopaedic surgeons (Consultants, SAS, Registrars, in training and others) the main issues are: creating pathways, maximising preparation of patients and good team working.

Pathways should be co-designed locally with nurses, geriatricians, anaesthetists, GPs, AHPs, patients and administrative staff. A pathway effectively gives every patient the benefit of a specialist approach even where workforce deficiencies persist.

Most pre-assessment services have evolved, with pockets of excellence. Several interventions, principally smoking cessation and regular exercise can reduce complication rates by up to 50%. Nutrition, alcohol moderation, psychological preparedness, medication review and practical preparedness help and empower patients. Pre-operative assessment and optimisation could be improved, including with virtual surgery schools. Staff should be trained in motivational interviewing and local signposting, for example about the practicalities of cycling or swimming for Orthopaedic patients with difficulty weight-bearing.

A ‘Trans-Disciplinary team’ needs team-working and education - so skills are shared and key steps still occur even if specialist staff are not present.
Please search the CPOC website www.cpoc.org.uk for:
• New Day surgery guideline (from GIRFT, CPOC, BADS)
• New diabetes guideline
• Shared Decision Making – listening to patients expectations and discussing Benefits, Risks, Alternatives and what happens if Nothing is done (BRAN)
• Patient information
• Preparation for surgery
• Evidence reviews
• Pre-operative Assessment and Optimisation Guidance
• Work on frailty, anaemia and working across primary and secondary care.

There is a three-fold variation in proportion of people admitted for surgery, rather than being a day case. New Day Surgery guidance could maximise day surgery, avoiding cancellations or competition for beds, and creating geographically-distinct pathways. Many trauma pathways could be converted to day case. Education, empowerment, pathways, team-working - Perioperative care is key.

The BOA is committed to support all the orthopaedic surgeons including the SAS surgeons and Locally Employed Doctors (LED).  They are playing an important role in NHS service delivery. In recent years an increasing number of doctors have chosen to become SAS surgeons rather than enter higher specialty training. Due to the evolving demographic of the medical workforce this trend may continue in future years. SAS surgeons and LED are confident and competent healthcare professionals, delivering clinical services in partnership with orthopaedic consultants and other health workers.

They are a diverse group with a wide range of knowledge, surgical skills and experience from novice to expert. Sustaining good quality services to NHS patients requires SAS surgeons to remain up to date with advances in trauma and orthopaedic surgery. Therefore, meeting the professional development needs of SAS surgeons is vital at organisational and individual level.  For successful SAS surgeon’s development, appropriate training, and regular assessment linked to the annual appraisal should lead to satisfactory career development.

CESR is not a route for everyone. Do you really want this? If you are happy in your current grade as SAS surgeon and with what you are doing, you may want to ask yourself whether it’s worth applying.  This session is targeted at SAS surgeons about how to approach the CESR application and overcome its hurdles to be successful. The CESR route will be presented by the SAC committee members who directly deal with T&O CESR applications.

Whilst the role of the clinician in the current healthcare climate remains as important as ever the data challenges for the future clinician are a daunting prospect. Clinicians have generally shied away from what appears to be a very unfriendly, complex and confusing set of rules, coding systems and payment methodologies used by the NHS to identify activity and appropriately fund it. However, for the success of healthcare delivery it is imperative that there is engagement between clinicians and managers, economists and policy makers.

This session attempts to unravel the mysteries of how the words you “write” are translated into payment decisions for the work you do, policy regarding healthcare service redesign, current and future resource implications, and funding sustainability in an environment where informatics is key and resources are limited. Translating the patient journey from presentation and diagnosis, through to treatment and a (hopefully) positive patient outcome, this session will equip you with an understanding of how clinical records are transformed into data used to make current and future funding decisions regarding the healthcare services you wish to provide for the patient population you serve.

In 2019 the UK Government enshrined in law the requirement to bring all greenhouse emissions to net zero by 2050. For this target to be met, all industrial areas need to reconsider the way they operate. This session will examine future trends in bridge engineering and what bridge designers can do to reduce the embodied carbon (CO₂e) of the structures they design.

Infrastructure accounts for 13% of global cement use. While small compared to buildings (83%), it is also one of the most difficult industrial sectors to fully decarbonise. While use of structural alternatives such as timber is growing in building design, such practice is difficult to replicate in bridges. Bridges are designed for a 120 year design life and require - and will continue to require - durable materials like concrete. A high proportion of process emissions from concrete can only be offset through carbon capture, a technology which remains unproven. This means the civil engineer's role in reducing emissions through design efficiency is vital.

Paediatric musculoskeletal infection remains one of the core time-critical emergencies that every orthopaedic surgeon on-call should be able to manage competently. Yet, the spectrum of diagnoses and the varied presentation make for uncertainty and trepidation in those who are inexperienced, and even more so in those with experience. What tests? What scans? When is an operation required? Which cases should be managed in specialist centres? This session aims to clear up some of the confusion and provide clarity. An interactive discussion of several different cases with an expert panel will provide food for thought and learning points to take home and incorporate into practice. Consensus guidelines for the management of MSK infection in children have been produced by BSCOS, and will be shared and explained in this session. And how should specialist and non-specialist centres work together to ensure high quality care for every child within a region? We’ll hear from one of the most recently established regional networks specifically created to ensure every child gets the care they need 24/7.

The concept of biological joint regeneration is hugely attractive to patients and to the medical community. We have strived for many years to look at options to repair or replace articular cartilage and maintain joint function in order to allow patients to continue pain-free activity and to avoid the consequences of osteoarthritis and its associated symptoms and the ultimate need for joint arthroplasty.

Whilst there has been tremendous progress and development in the joint arthroplasty field, research into regenerative therapies has been slower to translate to the bedside. There is, however, renewed interest, and a global industry valued at over £5 billion looking at joint preservation through biological means.  There is some concern that indiscriminate use of these approaches may undermine targeted clinical use and legitimate clinical research.

While we very much hope that this will be part of the long-term solution to joint injuries and joint degeneration, considerable debate remains over which strategies to use, their mechanism of action, and their potential short and long term effects on patients. There are important considerations in relation to unvalidated treatments, uncontrolled marketing, short term symptomatic control and the possibility of long term regenerative effects. We are now at a critical stage where we really need to consider the strategies are available to us and how they should be regulated and used in clinical practice. 

This symposium will cover the current dilemmas in this area and the options available and will assess the available peer reviewed literature. We will explore the most appropriate means for reporting and evaluating these interventions, consider how best to educate patients and surgeons on emerging research evidence, and discuss potential future challenges and regulatory frameworks.

There is great controversy in this area. The holy grail of biological joint restoration remains integral to orthopaedic thinking. We must for now however agree systems for the evaluation, the reporting, the translation and the regulation of biological therapies for joint arthritis.

In the mid-nineties, orthopaedic surgeons mainly driven by spine and joint replacements surgeons introduced computer assisted and robotic devices into their practice with the potential to reduce outliers in surgical practice and ultimately improve outcomes and reduce short and long-term complications and revisions.

Three main classes of devices were conceived and developed over the years to achieve these goals: there were the navigation systems, the patient-specific instruments (PSI) and the robotic devices. All three used either pre-operative planning issued from patient specific medical imaging (MRI or CT scan) or only intra operative anatomic data collection or “image free guidance”. All three aimed to assist the surgeons intraoperatively. Navigation and robotic systems both adopt user-interfaces depicting simultaneously the pre/intraoperative plan and tracked instruments to perform the surgery. PSI uses preoperative planning and manufactured guides to fit the patient’s anatomy to perform the surgery. Robotic technology relies on similar concepts implemented in navigation, but the final surgical action is either performed or guided by a robotic arm or hand held smart device (Active or controlled robotic technology) instead of only the surgeon.

Computer assisted and robotic technology has been used all over the world for more than 25 years with variable success but is not yet mainstream standard of care and is only used by a limited number of surgeons. The technology has confirmed its benefits in improving the accuracy and precision of the surgery and clinical evidence is growing to support the implementation of these systems in everyday practice.

Orthopaedic implant companies have invested heavily in the development of these new technologies as evidenced by the recent growth in robotic technology, developing different systems in design and execution. The goal of this session is to present these devices in the most clinically objective way for the audience to understand how they work and what they can expect from their use-the faculty are taken from leading UK and International clinicians who are involved in their development and use the systems regularly.

It is undeniable that computer and robotic technology has invaded all workplaces and has demonstrated its efficiency. The orthopaedic speciality won’t escape this new paradigm. However, it is still difficult to identify not only the long-term benefits of these new “tool-boxes” but also the real differences between all these systems. We hope to discuss some of these issues during the course of this session.

The aim of the NOTSS project was to develop and test an educational system for assessment and training of non-technical skills in the intra-operative phase of surgery. NOTSS is a behaviour rating system based on a skills taxonomy that allows valid and reliable observation and assessment of four categories of surgeons' non-technical skill: situation awareness, decision making, communication & teamwork, and leadership.

These are the essential non-technical skills surgeons need to perform safely in the operating room and NOTSS allows measurement of several ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) competencies, including professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, and systems-based practice. The skills taxonomy can be used to structure training and assessment in this important area of surgical competence.

On completion of the session a GCP certificate will be awarded.

The BOA Clinical Examination Course was set up almost a decade ago with the aim that trainees will attend on an annual basis whereby skills could be learnt at an early stage of training and repetition would result in perfecting a technique and consequently improvement in patient care and examination success.

It is taught by an experienced group of lecturers on clinical examination techniques. The format includes a morning of lectures covering all regions of the body. This is followed in the afternoon by a hands-on session where participants rotate in groups of similar skill level. In these tutorial groups there is a demonstration by an experienced consultant followed by practice in pairs of the techniques learnt.

The feedback in previous years of this format of learning has been exceptional.
