Meeting organiser Dr Adam Mitchell commented: “This meeting was a fantastic day for radiology and orthopaedics to rejoin.”

‘Linking Orthopaedics and Radiology – The Plain Film Revisited I: The Lower Limb’ was organised by

BIR president, Dr Stephen Davies and Dr Adam Mitchell and provided delegates with an understanding of the value of plain film in current orthopaedic practice and methods of measurement in orthopaedic radiology of the lower limb.
