🏛️ Arnott Lectureship Award – Royal College of Surgeons of England 🏛️

We are proud to share that Professor , Consultant Foot & Ankle Surgeon at Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic, has been awarded an Arnott Lectureship (2026) by the The Royal College of Surgeons of England for his work on Anatomy of the Ankle, from Injury Patterns to Safe Approaches.

The Arnott Lectures are among the most historic academic honours of the College, founded under the will of James Moncrieff Arnott FRS, who served as President of the Royal College of Surgeons in the mid-19th century. Arnott was a pioneering surgeon, anatomist, and educator, and the lectureship was established to recognise surgeons who make outstanding contributions to surgical knowledge, anatomy, and education.

Since its foundation, the Arnott Lectureship has been awarded to surgeons whose work advances safe surgical practice through rigorous anatomical understanding, a tradition that continues to shape modern surgery and training at the College.

This award reflects Professor Mason’s ongoing national and international work in ankle fracture anatomy, injury patterns, and risk-reduction through surgical approach selection, as well as his wider commitment to research, education, and improving outcomes in foot and ankle trauma.

A fantastic honour, and one we are delighted to celebrate at Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic. 👏

🚨🚨New Website Launch 🚨🚨

We are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new website dedicated to the clinical work of Professor Lyndon Mason — a comprehensive resource showcasing the full range of foot and ankle treatments and procedures he offers.

The new site has been developed to make it easier for patients, families and referrers to understand conditions, explore treatment options and know what to expect from surgery and recovery. It includes detailed information pages on procedures such as bunion surgery, ankle fusion, flat foot reconstruction, osteotomies, tendon repairs, ankle arthroscopy, neuroma surgery, forefoot reconstruction, hindfoot fusion, ingrown toenail surgery, fracture fixation and more.

This level of clarity supports modern informed consent, shared decision-making and patient confidence.

The website also reflects the breadth of practice that Professor Mason undertakes at the Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic, offering both non-surgical and surgical solutions, including minimally invasive techniques and complex reconstruction.

We hope patients, families and colleagues find the new platform helpful, informative and reassuring.

🔍 New Publication from members of the team – Hybrid Fixation for Syndesmotic Injuries

Delighted to share our latest publication “Hybrid Fixation for Syndesmotic Stabilisation: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Biomechanical Evidence”, published in Journal of Clinical Medicine. A great collaboration with Jed Bailey, Richard Huynh, Konstantinos Tsikopoulos, and Vasileios Lampridis.

🦴 What is Hybrid Fixation?

Hybrid Fixation (HF) combines a syndesmotic screw with a dynamic suture-button device.

📌 In practice:
• The screw theoretically helps maintain length and reduction, especially in high ‘length-unstable’ fibular fractures where suture-button alone may be insufficient.
• If the screw later breaks or loosens, the suture-button continues to maintain rotational control and dynamic stability, potentially preventing late diastasis.

This dual-support mechanism is one reason hybrid constructs are becoming more popular in complex syndesmotic injuries.

📌 Key Findings from the Review:

• 93 patients treated with hybrid fixation across clinical studies
• Excellent functional outcomes – mean AOFAS 93.3 at final follow-up
• Reduction maintained radiographically
• Low malreduction & unplanned removal (3.2%)
• Implant failure (screw breakage) 15.1% – all asymptomatic, reinforcing the benefit of the dual-construct approach
• Biomechanical studies show HF restores near-native kinematics and supports early weightbearing.

Hybrid fixation appears to offer a balance between screw and suture-button constructs, particularly in ‘length-unstable’ patterns, where fibular length is not controlled by a plate or I’m device. Maintaining reduction and rotational control is essential, and there are potential advantages of hybrid in these situations. Further comparative studies and long-term outcomes will help refine indications and technique.
