Joint replacement surgery transforms lives for patients with higher body mass index (BMI). Strong evidence shows safe outcomes and meaningful benefit, yet access remains restricted by BMI alone, an approach that risks st...

Introduction and aim: One common therapy for end-stage hallux rigidus symptoms is arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP). Surgery is usually advised for symptomatic patients with arthritis when conserva...

IntroductionTemporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) are common, affecting approximately 30% of the population. While the aetiology of TMJD has been considerably discussed, one aspect that has not been thoroughly investi...

ABSTRACT Objective Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is commonly assessed clinically via physical examination, such as a ballottement test, which evaluates palmar‐dorsal translation of the radius relative to t...

ABSTRACT Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple index for evaluating malnutrition, but whether it contributes to the development of prosthesis aseptic loosening (PAL) after total joint arthrop...

ABSTRACT Background An anatomical supra‐pectineal quadrilateral surface buttress plate (Union Plate) has been designed and shown promising mechanical strength in vivo. Robot‐aided technique has shown promising resul...

Background/Aim: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term and consists of pathological situations about temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal structure, masticatory muscle and associated structures. Otalgic c...

Abstract Objective This study aimed primarily to evaluate three-dimensionally the alteration in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) at short- and long-term follow-up after mandibular advancement (MAS) and mandibular setbac...

Background and purpose: Patient satisfaction after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) is influenced by multiple factors, including patient-reported pain and function. We aimed to examine whether functional abili...

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: 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: 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: 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 ...

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:...

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 ...

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...

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 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: 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: 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: 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...

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...

PURPOSE: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is an abnormal bone mass in soft tissue, often complicating spinal cord or brain injuries with paralysis. When ossification limits joint amplitudes and becomes symptomatic, surgical...
