This article suggests that the literature emerging from the 1947 Partition of British India shouldn't just be read as historical fiction. Instead, it belongs to a distinct, almost visceral category of "crisis literature....

Aims: This audit aimed to assess compliance with British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma (BOAST) for paediatric forearm and wrist fractures across UK NHS hospitals and identify targets for improvement locall...

Abstract Background While Canadian First Nations communities actively participate in sport, cultural, and land-based activities, they face various barriers to physical activity. Despite calls for increased support at all...

Aims: The aims were to assess the influence of tibial bone mineral density (BMD) and cement viscosity on cement mantle thickness in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine whether BMD is a more dominant factor th...

Aims: While robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) improves implant positioning accuracy, it often overlooks dynamic lumbopelvic parameters, such as pelvic tilt changes between sitting and standing. These factors ...

Aims: Preoperative education is routinely integrated into enhanced recovery pathways for hip and knee arthroplasty, yet its independent effect on early outcomes remains uncertain. This study examined whether completion o...

Aims: Cementless femoral fixation is widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with increasing interest in shorter femoral component designs. These femoral components aim to preserve proximal bone, promote physiologic...

Aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) allows immediate weightbearing and avoids challenges associated with secondary arthroplasty following conservative management or failed fixation of tibial plateau fractures (TPFs). Met...

Aims: Arthroplasty generates the most waste among the sub-specialties of orthopaedic surgery. Infectious waste generates ten times more CO2 than recycled waste, and over 90% of it is misallocated. This multicentre study ...

Objective To characterise temporal trends in antiretroviral therapy (ART) utilisation and forecast short-term changes in regimen distribution within a provincial HIV treatment programme.Design Population-level longitudin...

Aims: This study aims to determine the reliability, accuracy, and usability of a new health application that uses AI to estimate major coronal curve magnitude in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) from 3...

Aims: Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is technically demanding with an assumed steep learning curve. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated how surgeon experience influences operative efficiency, perioperative...

Aims: Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) management is variable across the UK. Our aim was to examine these differences in clinical practice and develop consensus statements regarding the management of TGCTs. Methods:...

Rapid population ageing has confronted numerous societies, including South Korea, with a severe crisis of elderly isolation, poverty and care deficits. However, existing mission paradigms have failed to provide theologic...

The tea plantations of Assam, remnants of the British Raj in postcolonial India, comprise an important epistemic site for interrogating transformations in the ancient caste system within Indian modernity. Two theoretical...

ObjectiveThis scoping review maps the current evidence on implementing home-based digital health technologies in rural Canada. It examines available readiness tools and indicators, stakeholder perspectives, barriers, and...

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is increasing in the UK, with a particularly sharp increase among young female athletes participating in sport. ACL injuries result in significant morbidity, wit...

Aims: The Reimers migration percentage (MP) is the gold-standard radiological parameter used to aid decision-making regarding surgical management of hip displacement in cerebral palsy (CP). Accurate measurement is import...

Aims: Acute hand and wrist infections can be devastating, with a substantial burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with high-income countries. Access to treatment, particularly surgery, can be limit...

Aims: Patient-specific Ti-6Al-4V lattice implants present a new era for reconstruction of weightbearing segmental defects; however, robust clinical data from larger cohorts with longer follow-up remain limited. Building ...
