Hello everyone, and welcome back to our second season of The Rest Isn’t Orthopaedics! In this episode, we dive into the challenge of managing pain for Grace, our model hip fracture patient. We explore why the traditional WHO pain ladder no longer meets the needs of patients in this setting and how its stepwise approach can leave people under‑treated and distressed.Instead, we discuss more effective strategies – including timely opioids, iliac fascia nerve blocks, and personalised post‑operative plans – that reduce complications, improve comfort, and support recovery. By rethinking how we approach pain, we can make a real difference to patient outcomes and experiences.Links:Proffesor Johansen's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@antonyjohansenNHFD: https://www.nhfd.co.uk/
