This case is one of a 25 year old female who fell from a horse at a moderate speed. She sustained a closed distal 1/3 diaphyseal fracture of the humerus, with no primary neurological symptoms. The patient presented initially to a regional hospital where imaging and splint immobilisation were performed. The patient was subsequently referred to our clinic and following discussion, it was clear she sought a rapid recovery without the use of an orthosis, and consented and proceeded with an open reduction and dorsoradial locking plate fixation.

The culmination of hours of our work is often limited to a small collection of X-rays that are only viewed within our own departments. While traditional journals and conferences provide the opportunity to see the published work of others, our day-to-day practice often occurs in isolation from our colleagues. In an effort to expand our educational resources and connect with our peers, we have created a crowd-sourced online collection of radiology materials. Utilizing the principles of #FOAMed, which promotes the use of social media for engagement, knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration, we aim to harness the educational potential of our own work and offer an unique resource for professional development.
