Medicine in Life: Recent Episodes
David
This is, simply, a chance to consolidate your Orthopaedic education using discussion based and podcast based teaching.
Achilles tendon ruptures are a common injury. They are easy to diagnose and often do not need any investigations. There is still controversy over the best way to manage this injury but it is one of the few injuries that have good operative and non operative options to manage this. As such it does not necessarily require an orthopaedic surgeon to treat it.
In this episode we look at the principles of an ACL rupture. This is a common injury particulary in Australia where sport is such a large part of the culture.
This is the first episode of the podcast Medicine in Life. It aims to provide short episodes about common orthopaedic problems. Problems that are seen in General practice and in the Emergency department.
Each episode is in a discussion based format.

This episode is the first in this series and we start with a very common problem.. the fractured neck of femur. This is a very common problem and will be seen at nearly all hospitals that provide orthopaedic care.
