Lower Limb Applied Anatomy: In Byte Size Chunks
7 July 2010

A scientific meeting organised by Dr Tuhin Sikdar, Dr Sri Redla and the BIR's clinical imaging Committee on behalf of the British Institute of Radiology.

With ever decreasing curricula devoted to anatomy at undergraduate level and the advent of modern techniques in imaging, rapid change has come to the interface of anatomy as seen by practitioners and clinicians alike. The need to modify the descriptive approach of the past in favour of cross-sectional representation has never before been so profound.

This meeting to impart an imaging approach to lower limb anatomy without losing the strengths of descriptive anatomy. The meeting will be in the standard three sections. The hip, the knee and the foot and ankle will be covered with particular reference to osteology, radiological appearances, and appropriately illustrated with surgical and arthroscopic correlation.

This meeting will be of interest to: Osteopaths, and Trainee Osteopaths

Registration Fees:
BIR Member: £108
BIR Associate Member: £142
BIR Trainee Member: £48
Non BOR Member: £175
Retired: £48

Trainee Osteopaths qualify to join the BIR as a student member (free membership), if they do this then they are eligible for the reduced registration fee of £48.

Linking orthopaedics and radiology - the plain film revisited I: The lower limb
21 October 2010

A scientific meeting organised by Dr Stephen Davies and Dr Adam Mitchell on behalf of the British Institute of Radiology.

This meeting will provide delegates with an understanding of the value of the plain film in current orthopaedic practice and methods of measurement in orthopaedic radiology of the lower limb. The day aims to provide clear linkage between radiographic measurement and orthopaedic practice.

Delegates should leave the meeting able to describe the key radiographic measurement methods for hip, knee, ankle and foot and link these with orthopaedic decision-making. Attendees should be able to interpret plain films of the failing hip prosthesis. In addition delegates should be able to describe sources of error in tumour and trauma and methods of managing error.

This meeting would be of interest to: Radiologists, Orthopaedic surgeons (including trainees), Rheumatologists and Radiographers
