As a membership organisation we care for patients and support surgeons by focusing on excellence in:
Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery is a highly cost effective form of treatment which aims to restore pain free mobility for patients. By restoring mobility, Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery can not only help people stay active for longer, but deliver major economic savings; enabling people to return to work, or live more independently.
Given the growing musculoskeletal disease burden, and the transformative impact surgery can have for the right patients, we believe surgeons, commissioners and colleagues across the NHS should work together to increase surgical capacity.
The Trauma Committee Group have been working with the Orthopaedic Trauma Society (OTS) and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH), and have now published a new BOAST on ‘Management of Distal Radial Fractures’. All of our BOASTs are available to download here.
