Session Title: An Introduction to the iWALK3.0 Hands-Free Crutch
Session Description:
The iWALK3.0 represents a revolutionary advancement in mobility support, offering a hands-free alternative to traditional crutches and knee scooters. It enables individuals with non-weight bearing lower leg injuries to move around in an upright position with a natural gait, all while freeing their hands for everyday tasks.
Most commonly referred to as a 'game-changer' in patient feedback, the iWALK is preferred by 90% of patients and improves quality of life immeasurably during the recovery period.
Crafted for durability and comfort, the iWALK3.0 improves patient outcomes by reducing muscle atrophy and recovery time. Its ergonomic design eliminates arm, back and wrist pain commonly associated with traditional crutches, and the freedom it affords improves compliance and reduces occurrences of secondary injuries, making it a superior choice for healthcare providers committed to delivering the best in patient care.

Product Theatre - Patient Safety through the NHS Implant Analysis Service at Revision Surgery
Sponsored - Product Theatre
The NHS Implant Analysis Service conducts independent physical analysis of used explanted medical devices and reports on their performance in patients. The focus of this service is to increase patient safety and drive outcome improvements.
In recent years, surgery has benefited from technological breakthroughs with the introduction of successive devices and procedures showing improved outcomes. Over time some of these innovative theoretical breakthroughs have had questionable durability in humans and some have led to catastrophic failure such as some metal on metal hip replacements and breast implants.
The UK has an enviable track record of clinical research and follow up in joint replacements. Much of this data, whilst very useful, does not include detailed physical analysis of the device performance. This service addresses the need for physical analysis and reporting whilst providing a robust, speedy service providing surgeons with an implant performance on devices removed from the human body, irrespective of the reasons for initial revision. The purpose is to provide assessment on all devices, whether the performance was as well as anticipated or not.

Session Title: Moving barriers to reduce your length of stay following hip and knee arthroplasty
Session Description:
DrEaMing of early mobilisation?
- Increased patient confidence.
- Reduced length of stay for your patients.
How is the Taurus walker fundamental in facilitating this?
Perceived barriers to early mobilisation following hip and knee arthroplasty have been identified. Patients have reduced confidence to walk independently and are reliant on waiting for physiotherapists to get them up first-time post op, leading to reduced efficiency in the ERAS programme.
Looking at early mobility with the use of a Taurus walker
- The patient’s perspective.
- Enabling a step through gait from the first step.
- Encouraging nurse led mobility immediately post op.
- Impact that this has on length of stay.

Session Title: Periprosthetic Proximal Femur Fractures: Do we know when to fix or replace?
The clinical and economical burdens associated with periprosthetic fractures have unfortunately become the latest epidemic within trauma and orthopaedic fracture management. Their volume continues to increase year on year, as does the fragility and frailty of the patients they affect, making them more and more complex to management effectively and efficiently.
Please join Mr Birender Kapoor from Liverpool University Hospitals NHS trust, for an engaging session as he touches upon the latest evidence regarding proximal femur periprosthetic fracture diagnosis and surgical management. This will include using a number of complex clinical case discussions from within his practice across trauma and revision hip arthroplasty, as well as an open forum to discuss the floors experiences in treating these complex fracture patterns in complex patients (as time allows!).
This session is supported by DePuy Synthes and the VA-LCP Periprosthetic Proximal Femur (PPFX) plating system.
Join us to learn more at BOA 2023; we look forward to welcoming you to this session.
