Throw back to a very successful weekend of teaching when our physios, Ian and Jay, held the APA Hand and Wrist course earlier in the year. Everyone left with their knowledge of hand anatomy, injury and management refined. And, of course, much fun was had practising making some thermoplastic splints. Well done everyone involved!

If you’re a Physio clinic, sports club or GP clinic that would be interested in some PD or upskilling on the latest management of hand and upper limb injuries by engaging and experienced presenters, reach out to us!

Ever wondered what an unstable distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) looks like in action? 🕺

This 4D CT image of one of our patient's wrist, shows views of her joint biomechanics in real-time and how well, or in this case how poorly ligaments and surrounding structures maintain joint congruity.

The 1st image in particular shows a dorsally migrating ulnar head as she rotates her wrist into pronation.

How’s this for some bruising? Ecchymosis is the technical name for bruising, which occurs when blood leaks from broken capillaries into the surrounding tissue. If it was a competition as to who has more bruising, we think this patient would probably win hands down!

Speaking of hands down, look at how much swelling is in his hand. He is working with his physio to manage this, as well as his recovery from extensive elbow surgery.
