The dramatic rise in DIY power saw and angle grinder injuries – 5 year audit - a podcast by Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

The audit, conducted by plastic surgery service registrar Dr Edward Gibson, reveals a dramatic increase in the number of patients presenting with trauma – sometimes significant, sometimes causing lasting disability. So what did the audit reveal, who’s at most risk and is there a solution? Dr Gibson discusses the study in this week’s Post Op Podcast.
