🌍🦴 It's World Osteoporosis Day! One of the most common & impactful osteoporotic fractures is a fractured neck of femur. Weightbearing exercise is a key strategy to address 3 important risk factors: 1️⃣ Low bone density. 2️⃣ Poor hip abductors (important for pelvic control & bone stimulus of the femoral neck). 3️⃣ Poor balance. Let's get our patients back on their feet! 🦴#WorldOsteoporosisDay #BoneHealth #PreventFalls #StrengthAndBalance #OsteoporosisAwareness #PatientCare

#FactFriday Combined anteversion is linked with microinstability in borderline dysplasia. A combined acetabular + femoral anteversion angle of >49.5° increases the risk of #microinstability, especially if the socket is already borderline shallow. #femoral malversion #acetabularversion #hipmicroinstability

On World Arthritis Day, let’s take stock of what we know and commit to find out more, and do better for those living with pain and disability associated with arthritis. At the hip we now understand so much more about the factors that contribute to the development of #hipOA and the lived experience and associated impairments. But we still need to do better with optimising treatments, especially early interventions and attempting to change the risk factors like #cammorphology and #hipdysplasia. 🦴 #WorldArthritisDay #ArthritisAwareness #TogetherWeCan #MakeADifference
