While I love a 1st MTP joint replacement, they do fail over time. The first two pics from one that sunk into the meg head after 3 years; the second fractured after 9. Both were switched out for a new one after a joint tidy up. Fusions are still the gold standard. But I’m hoping to keep these two ladies moving and pain free (again).

’s TikTok edit queue just got a whole lot longer after filming dermatome assessments with me last week. It’s important to know the anatomy though. Today I saw a patient (last pic) with an L4 injury post RTA, numbness in the saphenous nerve distribution and a neurologically induced cavus that needs a hallux IPJ arthrodesis. Sorry, Aidan! Excited to see the final product

The humble gryphotic nail. Always satisfying to do. She will be much more comfortable now I think.

It’s been ten years since Felix wrote up our trotation Scarf bunion correction technique. It’s still very much my go to procedure. I love its power of correction, stability and versatility. Time to count how many I’ve done since I started doing them in 2006.

Day one of three. Super great crowd today and always a pleasure to back where half my genetic lineage hails from.

You won’t be able to tell when I’ve ‘made it’ in my private hospital. But there will be signs.

Live from July on Swoop. Incisional techniques. When phenol doesn’t cut it.

I am such a fan of aggressive resection of the peri-ungual tissues when an ingrown nail is more the fault of the skin than the nail plate. Lots of options. This is a Vandenbos. The last picture is 3/12 post. They (usually) heal very well but can bleed just a tad.
