Conventional learning focuses on knowledge transfer from the teacher to the students.
Stepping into a new era of technology, e-Learning is strongly promoted to encourage medical students’ engagement in educational videos. This also provides a platform for the students to experience “serve” and “to be served”.

3D打印應用於骨科治療已有一段時間，發展亦日趨成熟。打印技術不但能協助醫生測試及預演複雜的骨科手術流程，更能提升準繩度與有效縮減手術時間，減少病人在手術過程中的失血量和術後併發症。

【3D立體打印骨骼模型 骨科手術最新趨勢】

減省整體時間 大幅提升準繩度

論及3D打印對骨科手術的好處，徐博士提出了包括提升手術速度和準繩度等多項優點。「因為3D打印能製作個人化的手術工具，故可將準確的手術計畫納入手術過程中，例如作髖關節置換翻修手術，需要替病人拆除及更換關節，過程十分複雜，但利用了3D打印製作植入物，醫生正式落刀時便可更準確及更有信心，也可避免過程中出現的風險。」此外，預先在電腦或模型上進行手術計畫，也可大大縮短手術過程。「如設定切割的平面及裝嵌螺絲的路綫，或是製作合乎骨體形狀的鋼板，這些均可提早在實驗室預備妥當，到真正進行手術時，便毋須在病人體內重複量度調整，可省卻許多手術時間。」

🎄Wish you a merry Xmas with your loved ones!🎉

Holiday decorating may pose a risk if not done carefully. According to the news report, the most common holiday injuries involve falls, trauma, back strains, and lacerations.

🤩Here are some tips to avoid strains and sprains:
1. Always stretch before and after any physical activity to loosen the muscles. Do not underestimate the task ahead of you! Decorating involves a lot of physical activity.
2. When carrying packages, keep them close to your center of gravity (closer to your body). The closer to your spine and center of gravity, the less stress it puts on your back.
3. If you need to carry multiple items, it is better to make several trips instead of one.
4. When using a ladder, always inspect the ladder before using it.

Feel free to share your thoughts if you have some more precautions.

Multiple Choice Questions Setting Workshop for Joint Specialty Fellowship Examination in Orthopaedic Surgery, organized by Hong Kong College of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

It was such an intensive course. When it came to the afternoon real-time interactive question setting practice, participants brainstormed a bunch of higher-order questions to be immediately commented on by their fellows and the overseas speakers. **thumbs-up

Big thanks to Prof. S Kumta (CUHK), Dr. Hurst and Dr. Miller (The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh).

This made a remarkable moment for the ORT department when “founding” meets “current” chairman at OLC during an RTHK interview hosted by Prof Patrick Yung today.

It’s marvellous to see our respectable Prof PC Leung again.
