This 90-minute multidisciplinary session brings together experts from the Bone & Joint Infection Society and the Orthopaedic Trauma Society to review contemporary management of fracture-related infection (FRI). Topics will include recent updates to FRI guidance, evolving systemic antibiotic protocols, the role and evidence for local antimicrobials and adjuncts, and interactive case discussions illustrating practical decision-making. The session will emphasise evidence-based, practical takeaways to inform MDT care of complex FRI.

Deepa Bose is a consultant in orthopaedic trauma and limb reconstruction at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. Her practice is exclusively in adults, and includes general trauma, major trauma and post-traumatic limb reconstruction: osteomyelitis, malunion, non-union, limb lengthening & deformity correction.
She is currently Hono0rary Secretary of the BOA and has previously been Chair of the Specialist Advisory Committee for Trauma & Orthopaedics and the lead for CESR approval process. She has also contributed to the revision of the curriculum. She holds an MSc in Medical Education and has been admitted to the Faculty of Surgical Trainers of RCS Edinburgh, as well as being a member of the Academy of Medical Educators.
Rhidian trained in Cardiff at the University of Wales, College of Medicine as it was then, qualifying in 1989. His training rotation was between Oswestry and Stoke-on-Trent and included fellowships in Johannesburg and Sydney.
Rhidian has spent his Consultant career working on orthopaedic infection and revision knee replacements in Cardiff. He recently ‘transferred’ across the border to work in Colchester and help establish the Regional Revision Knee Network.
Rhidian has a strong interest in education at all levels and continues to lecture widely. He has had the pleasure of founding and running national knee infection meetings from which he continues to learn from his peers. A personal philosophy, when possible, has always been to organise cross-speciality meetings, which broadens one’s perspective and heightens respect for colleagues in other medical and non-medical areas. This led to being a co-founder of the Bone & Joint Infection Society (BAJIS) and the inaugural President. BAJIS is a true cross-speciality society for all healthcare workers, scientists and industry partners interested in managing orthopaedic infection.
Now living in Essex, he remains as Welsh as ever but perhaps a little less partisan than before. Professionally and personally, although life continually changes, he could not be happier than at present.
Rhidian is delighted to be elected as Honorary Treasurer and hopes to contribute and support our Association and the profession in any way he can.
Philip Henman has been a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Newcastle upon Tyne since 2001. He graduated from St Andrews and Manchester Universities and roamed around the country during his training, loosely based in Dundee for specialist training in orthopaedics. Fellowship training in children’s orthopaedics was divided between Montpellier, Metz, Paris, Adelaide and London before he finally settled to steady employment in the Northeast of England. His consultant post has been a hybrid commitment to orthopaedic trauma care and children’s orthopaedics which come together in an interest in treating children’s musculoskeletal trauma and infections. He became involved in teaching with AOUK over ten years ago and has been active in teaching on children’s trauma in the UK and overseas since then.
Matt Scarborough studied medicine at Queens University Belfast and undertook post graduate training mainly in London and Oxford. He currently works as a consultant physician in clinical infection and general medicine at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. His research interests include orthopaedic infection, bacterial meningitis and blood stream infections.
Mr Steven Borland is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Victoria Infirmary where he specialises in complex orthopaedic trauma, pelvic and acetabular fractures, post trauma limb reconstruction, deformity correction, and hip and knee arthroplasty.
Mr Borland graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2005 and completed his higher surgical training in the North-East and where he developed an interest in orthopaedic trauma.
He completed the Ilizarov limb reconstruction fellowship in Kurgan, Russia. He then spent a year in Toronto, Canada at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and St Michael’s Hospital gaining experience of complex trauma, pelvis and acetabular (hip socket) injuries and hip and knee replacement.
Jamie Ferguson is a highly respected Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Oxford Limb Reconstruction and Infection Clinic, with a specialised focus on limb reconstruction. As a key member of the Bone Infection Unit in Oxford, Mr Ferguson welcomes referrals from across the UK and internationally, bringing his extensive expertise to a diverse patient population. He works as a Limb Reconstruction Consultant, based in the Bone Infection Unit at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, UK. Here he works as part of a multidisciplinary team managing complex bone infection of various aetiologies, including haematogenous osteomyelitis, fracture related infection, and infected non-union. The Bone Infection Unit is unique in the UK as it includes a dedicated inpatient ward, admitting cases with bone infection from across the country. The ethos of the unit is to aim to undertake single stage infection surgery, often including orthoplastic reconstruction as a single operation.
He previously worked in the Major Trauma Centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford and continues to support a multidisciplinary team meeting for the discussion of cases suspected of having fracture related infection in the trauma department.
He undertook his surgical training in Oxford and undertook a British Orthopaedic Association Travelling Fellowship to the Ilizarov Institute in Kurgan, Russia. He was also awarded the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society 2018 Fellowship to the United States, visiting The Hospital for Specialist Surgery in New York, The Cleveland Medical Center, The Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, and the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. He spent a year at the Beit Cure International Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi on a Furlong Fellowship treating cases with complex bone infection.
His main areas of interest include the management of complex long bone infection, fracture related infection diagnosis and treatment, and the management of segmental bone defects. He has published extensively on several aspects of infection management, including Ilizarov limb reconstruction techniques in bone infection, dead space management in osteomyelitis, local antibiotic carriers, and the diagnosis of fracture-related infection. His collaboration on histological diagnosis of infection contributed to the International Consensus Definition of Fracture Related Infection.
He is a regular invited speaker, both nationally and internationally, on the treatment of bone infection, limb reconstruction techniques and fracture related infection.
