Growing as an Orthopaedic Surgeon: from Economy to Business Class…
You all remember your first Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) surgery, how you felt exhilarated and proud of yourself, sharing your achievement with friends and family. What a great feeling when you do an operation for the first time. It is an integral part of life to be driven to achieve new things and bigger steps. But do you remember your 15th DHS? Probably not. After a while it becomes routine, the thrill is gone, and you just come out satisfied you have performed a good surgery but shortly afterwards forget all about it. Instead, you are probably thinking of when you will be doing the next bigger surgery. Read more...

Report on the Würzburg SICOT Orthopaedic Fellowship
by Tarek Fetih
I am glad to report about my successful completion of the Würzburg SICOT Orthopaedic Fellowship. I have to say it was a unique experience in my career. I had the chance to spend six months (from May to October 2014) in the Orthopädische Klinik im König-Ludwig-Haus, Würzburg, Germany, where I could monitor and participate in the everyday work at one of the top rated arthroplasty centres under the kind supervision of Prof Maximilian Rudert. A large part of my interest was also focused on foot and ankle surgeries and I could work extensively with Dr Matthias Walcher. Read more...

Book Review
Current Progress in Orthopedics
review written by Amr Atef
A group of orthopaedic surgeons working at Assiut University Orthopaedic Department, Egypt, have reviewed the new SICOT book, 'Current Progress in Orthopedics'. It was intended to have a 'spectrum' of opinions ranging from the opinion of a senior resident to that of an experienced professor. All reviewers concurred that the book provides comprehensive coverage of key topics in orthopaedics and deals with the different topics in a new and interesting way. We have gathered the different opinions and put them together in a more simple and organised fashion. Read more...
