Following the new format introduced to the BJ360 session last year, we will have a rapid-fire roundup of key papers that you cannot afford to miss.
Major papers in lower limb, upper limb, trauma and paediatrics will be presented, discussed and contextualised into contemporary practice by genuine leads in the field.
This wide-ranging review will revalidate and update across the generality of orthopaedics.

Ben OIIivere is a clinical academic trauma surgeon (one of just a handful in the UK) working at Nottingham University where he is Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma, Head of Department. He is Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor where he leads on Academic Performance and Reputation for the University. He trained in Oxford, London and later Cambridge before coming to Nottingham as a clinician in 2011 and then moving to the University in 2016. He was subsequently appointed to a Chair in 2020.
Professor Ollivere works at the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham with a special interest in trauma, non-union and complex peri-articular work. He is a limb reconstruction surgeon and undertakes over 100 limb reconstruction cases for infection, bone defects, deformity and complex injuries a year.
He is a world leader in his field and has achieved a total personal research portfolio of £59M (>£8M as CI) with research funding from the MRC, NIHR (HTA, EME, DRF, RfPB and BRC programmes) and InnovateUK. He takes a big picture approach to research with themes established in injury and recovery, frailty and decline and chest injury. During the Covid-19 pandemic the MRC funded Panther programme for which he was CI generated the data responsible for introduction of booster vaccine doses.
Sebastian specialises in all aspects of lower limb surgery, especially primary and revision hip and knee replacement, and sports injuries. He also works within the Royal London Hospital major trauma service.
He was Clinical Network Director for the Barts Hospital group and North East London ICS from 2017-2022, during which time he led development of the regional elective orthopaedic centre, also researching and implementing development of the accelerated post-surgical patient recovery.
Following undergraduate studies at Cambridge University, he undertook specialist surgical training on the Guy's and St. Thomas's rotation, at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore) and the Hospital for Special Surgery (New York). He holds Master’s degrees in Medical Law and Musculoskeletal Science. He has co-authored three textbooks; as well as has contributing chapters to other volumes on orthopaedics, trauma and medical law. He frequently acts as an expert witness in litigation cases.
He sits on the editorial board for Bone& Joint 360, the National Joint Registry implant scrutiny committee, the Council of the BOA and is an examiner for the FRCS(Tr&Orth). His interest in orthopaedic basic science has led to collaboration with colleagues from across Europe on a novel hip prosthesis design.
Mike is a Professor of Trauma and Orthopaedics at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the treatment of osteoarthritis, outcomes of joint replacement, adverse events such as the treatment of PJI, hip fracture, open fractures and cartilage damage. He employs a wide range of research methodologies including multicentre randomised controlled trials, first-in-human trials, analysis of large routinely collected healthcare datasets, evidence synthesis, qualitative methods and health economics. He leads the NJR lot 2 contract for Statistical Analysis, Support and Associated Services and a range of NIHR funded studies investigating bearings in THR, optimisation for surgery, intra-articular injections, novel devices and treatments for cartilage damage and infection. Mike has published over 250 peer reviewed papers, 9 NJR annual reports, and obtained grant funding of £5.9 million as lead and a further £16.4 million as co-applicant. He sits on the British Orthopaedic Association and British Hip Society research committees.
