A long thread, incorporating my 6,000th tweet! Often asked, so here's my attempt to summarise what I have learned, and believe in the world of #PROMs
With so much use of, desire for and great work in the field why is it so hard and isn't working as it should/ could/ would...?

Firstly stop thinking of tools and focus on logistics, engagement, and embedding an organisation wide culture of collecting #PROMs and #PREMs
This was our starting point 7 years ago at @NorthumbriaOrth - using paper & Excel across 5 hospital sites. #Teamwork

Many parties are already collecting #PROMs - particularly in the world of #orthopaedics - but as highlighted by the @BritOrthopaedic article on @SWORDResearchUK @NetworkProms EMPROVE audit, there is no consensus on what, when or how.
52/365 good radiographs are key, now for a systematic approach to assessment
Firstly, some acetabular radiographer anatomy
1 iliopubic line - the ant column
2 ilioischial line - the post column
3 the acetabular fossa
4 the teardrop - medial inferior socket
5 post wall
6 ant wall

Assess the bone deficiency or excess. Where is it? If a deficient acetabulum: is it contained (intact front, back, medial, superior walls) or uncontained. This should feed into the type of reconstruction, the prosthesis and the need for bone graft.

@SureAndShare were concerned that they were unable to verify who the 1st author was (or where they worked), or the death of a #forensic #medical professional from #COVID19. They cautioned against sharing the story.

I have seen many physicians on #MedTwitter and #OrthoTwitter dispute this authorโs allegation that physicians are โkeeping prices highโ in #Healthcare. This is patently false, at least with regard to procedural reimbursement.
How do we know this in #Orthopaedics?

Our research groups at @UnivOrtho and @OrthoAtYale retrospectively studied @CMSGov #CMS #Medicare reimbursements for Orthopaedic procedures across specialties over a period of 16 years.
What did we find? Read our published article here:
