INTRODUCTION

WELCOME

BSSH Friends and Colleagues, Visiting
Lecturers and Guests

It’s a pleasure to welcome you all back together again for the 2021 BSSH Autumn
Scientific Meeting. It’s been a long separation through the pandemic and we will be
trying to make up some lost ground with two days packed with science, surgery and, of
course, social.

The surgeons from Oxford and the surrounds have helped put together a fantastic and
forward looking scientific programme and despite the ongoing global restrictions we
are pleased to be able to welcome several European guest lecturers.

We’ve got several important ‘Firsts’ happening at this meeting:
•    We welcome the inaugural four BSSH International Travelling Fellows, from US,
     Italy, France and Spain. They have spent the past weeks visiting three of our top
     Hand Units and now attend our Scientific Meeting before returning home.
•    We have the first meetings between our newly trained BSSH Mentors and their
     Mentees.
•    We have our first ever Art Club and Masterclass running parallel to the scientific
     sessions for anyone to drop in on, whether your interest is in creating or admiring.
•    And importantly, in another step towards embedding the principles of equality and
     diversity in the BSSH, we have our first Babies and Carers room.

Finally, I am honoured and privileged to host two brilliant surgeons and orators, Donald
Sammut and Carlos Heras-Palou, to be my Douglas Lamb and Harold Bolton lecturers.

I do hope you enjoy the meeting, learn something, catch up with old friends and have a
great evening at the Society Dinner in the magnificent Keble College Hall.

Sue Fullilove
BSSH President 2021

INTRODUCTION

A Note from the Oxford Organising Committee...

It has been a great pleasure to work with our president to create a programme
that we hope you will find varied, enjoyable, informative and thought-provoking.
Our meeting opens with two exciting sessions probing the future of hand surgery
and hand surgery research. Sections on basal thumb joint arthritis, scaphoid
fractures and peripheral nerve surgery explore the frontiers of clinical practice
and how to optimise the care we currently provide. The free paper sessions are
the traditional way for work to be show cased, but look out for the rapid fire
infographic bell sessions.

Friday afternoon provides an opportunity to look at value-based hand surgery
whilst, in another session, an experienced panel put their heads together to
explore how to deal with things when we don’t “get it right first time”. In selecting
our chairs for this meeting, we have tried to achieve a blend of individuals who are
well established within hand surgery, along with some newer faces and senior
trainees. We think this will result in both innovative content and delivery.

We are extremely grateful to our chairs for all the commitment and effort they
have shown in putting together their sessions. We also owe a debt of gratitude for
the tireless work, through uncertain and changing circumstances, of the BSSH
secretariat to enable us to deliver the “BSSH Autumn Scientific Meeting Oxford
2021”. We hope you enjoy the meeting and your stay in our historic university
city. If you have any queries during the meeting or just fancy a chat, please don’t
hesitate to approach us.

Nick Riley and Mike Lamyman

                               is a unique synthetic dermal scaffold that provides an effective
                               reconstructive option for a range of complex wounds.

BTM is indicated for use in the management of wounds including partial and full thickness
wounds, pressure ulcers, venous and diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, trauma wounds, burns,
and scar reconstruction. This unique matrix is composed of a wound-facing biodegradable
open cell foam, bonded to a non-biodegradable transparent sealing membrane. BTM enables
the generation of a vascularised neodermis which provides a more robust foundation for
wound reconstruction than grafting alone, limiting wound scarring and contracture.
