    Vertebral fractures, never events & Martha's rule

    The lads talked to Prof Ken Poole about vertebral fractures. Ken explains that vertebral fractures should be never events because of effective treatments that patients can take. We also discuss Martha's law a patient safety initiative in the NHS that allows patients and their families to request a rapid review if they are concerned about their condition. https://www.england.nhs.uk/patient-safety/marthas-rule/ ken Poole is Professor of Metabolic Bone Disease University of Cambridge. Ken applies novel imaging techniques to investigate bone diseases. He also runs NHS clinical services for metabolic bone diseases and specialised rheumatology needs. One key project is the PHOENIX study which aims to improve the diagnosis of vertebral fractures using routine CT scanning.

    The lads talk to Dr Friederike Schulte about exciting research which shows that mechanical loading potentiates the effect of anabolic treatments for osteoporosis, leading to bigger gains in bone mass and strength. Friederike also spoke to us about her role in public outreach as a Co-Founder at the Swiss Fall Prevention Center. The startup works in the community to share knowledge about fall prevention with people at risk of a fracture, including expert lectures in senior and residential homes.

    Super orthogeriatrician - this time it's personal!

    The lads talked to Dr. Madhavi Vindlacheruvu about frailty and osteoporosis. We discussed what frailty is and how it can be diagnosed, as well as the patient-centred care developed and practiced by the teams at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. Pre- and post-fracture care is more complex than you would think in geriatric patients. Dr Madhavi is a consultant orthogeriatrican at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Clinical lead for National Hip Fracture Database, and the Fracture Liaison Services at the trust
