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...

Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the hip and knee are widely used surgical treatments for advanced cases of osteoarthritis. Despite its effectiveness, disparities in outcomes based on socioeconomic and geogr...

Abstract Background Ankle arthrodesis is an established procedure for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Besides the known limited functionality, gait and foot arch changes are accompanying pathologies, which are little inv...

Objective: Open-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (OW-PTS) is a common surgical technique widely used to treat osteoarthritis and deformities of the knee joint. It is often enhanced with bone grafts to support healing. Thi...

ABSTRACT The use of endo-exo prosthesis is an alternative to improve the quality of life of amputees, allowing correct distribution of body weight, reducing skin problems and pain related to the implant, and reducing lam...

Abstract Background Managing ARCO stage III osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is controversial, as surgeons choose between joint preservation and arthroplasty. While MRI provides superior assessment of lesion geom...

Abstract Background The kinematics of the wrist have been widely studied in terms of flexion/extension, radial/ulnar deviation, and the dart-throwing motion (DTM); however, the opposite dart-throwing motion (oDTM)—desp...

ABSTRACT Objective Adjacent segment retrolisthesis is a common yet frequently overlooked complication after lumbar fusion, which may lead to reoperation. However, its risk factors, particularly those related to preoperat...

IntroductionGouty tophi are chronic inflammatory nodules resulting from monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, often leading to joint deformity, skin ulceration, and functional impairment. Surgical management remains...

Background: The calcaneus is the most fractured tarsal bone and plays an important role as part of the subtalar joint to transfer weight from the lower limb to the ground. Injury to this structure and alteration of weigh...

Abstract Background The arthroscopic posterior transseptal approach (TSA) allows improved visualization of the posterior compartment of the knee joint. However, it can be associated with increased risks particularly rega...

Introduction Osteoarthritis is a frequent degenerative joint disease, affecting older individuals in particular. When non-surgical treatment options are no longer effective or warranted, surgical options include single c...

The study evaluated the influence of immediate physical therapy on the functional recovery of hind limbs of dogs with experimental cranial cruciate ligament rupture which underwent surgical extracapsular stabilization as...
