A study investigating short- and medium-term effects on function, bone mineral density and lean tissue mass post-total knee replacement in a Caucasian female post-menopausal population: implications for hip fracture risk.
(Springer, 2016-02-26)Significant increased hip fracture incidence has been reported in the year following total knee replacement. This study demonstrates that bone and muscle loss is a post-surgical consequence of total knee replacement, ... -
One-stage or two-stage revision surgery for prosthetic hip joint infection - the INFORM trial: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(BioMed Central, 2016-02-17)Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) affects approximately 1 % of patients following total hip replacement (THR) and often results in severe physical and emotional suffering. Current surgical treatment options are debridement, ... -
Allergy in total knee arthroplasty: a review of the facts.
(British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Journal, 2016-04)We explored the literature surrounding whether allergy and hypersensitivity has a clinical basis for implant selection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In error, the terms hypersensitivity and allergy are often used ... -
A randomized controlled trial of postoperative analgesia following total knee replacement: transdermal Fentanyl patches versus patient controlled analgesia (PCA).
(Springer, 2015-08)This randomized controlled trial compared a standard patient controlled analgesic (PCA) regime with a transdermal and oral Fentanyl regime for post-operative pain management in patients undergoing total knee replacement. -
International consensus on the definition and classification of fibrosis of the knee joint.
(British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Journal, 2016-11)The aim of this consensus was to develop a definition of post-operative fibrosis of the knee. -
The natural history of pain and neuropathic pain after knee replacement: a prospective cohort study of the point prevalence of pain and neuropathic pain to a minimum three-year follow-up
(Bone Joint Journal, 2014-09-01)A small proportion of patients have persistent pain after total knee replacement (TKR). The primary aim of this study was to record the prevalence of pain after TKR at specific intervals post-operatively and to ascertain ... -
Do you have an infection problem?
(Bone Joint J, 2015-09-01)In England and Wales more than 175 000 hip and knee arthroplasties were performed in 2012. There continues to be a steady increase in the demand for joint arthroplasty because of population demographics and improving ... -
Re-infection outcomes following one- and two-stage surgical revision of infected hip prosthesis in unselected patients: protocol for a systematic review and an individual participant data meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2015-04-01)BACKGROUND: Several aggregate published reviews have compared the effectiveness of one- and two-stage surgical revision to prevent re-infection following prosthetic hip infection and have reported inconsistent results. In ... -
The early outcome of kinematic versus mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty: a prospective randomised control trial.
(British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Journal, 2016-10)Our aim was to compare kinematic with mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). -
Complications associated with opening wedge high tibial osteotomy - A review of the literature and of 15years of experience.
