Metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthoplasty provide reliable fixation and excellent medium to long-term implant survivorship
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Addressing bone loss and securing implant fixation can be challenging in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present the results of a large series of revision TKAs using a metaphyseal sleeve. -
The prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy
(Elsevier, 2020-01)The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an attractive marker because it is derived from routine bloodwork. NLR has shown promise as a prognostic factor in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) but its value in patients ... -
Patient-reported Quality of Life outcomes in patients treated for muscle-invasive bladder cancer with radiotherapy ± chemotherapy in the BC2001 Phase III Randomised Controlled Trial
(Elsevier, 2020-02)BC2001, the largest randomised trial of bladder-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, demonstrated improvement of local control and bladder cancer-specific survival from the addition of concomitant ... -
International classification of abdominal wall planes (ICAP) to describe mesh insertion for ventral hernia repair
(Wiley, 2020-02)Nomenclature for mesh insertion during ventral hernia repair is inconsistent and confusing. Several terms, including 'inlay', 'sublay' and 'underlay', can refer to the same anatomical planes in the indexed literature. This ... -
Definitions for loss of domain: an International Delphi Consensus of Expert Surgeons
(Springer, 2020-04)No standardized written or volumetric definition exists for 'loss of domain' (LOD). This limits the utility of LOD as a morphological descriptor and as a predictor of peri- and postoperative outcomes. Consequently, our aim ... -
Long-term survival of the Cemented Exeter Universal Stem in patients 50 years and younger: an update on 130 hips
(Elsevier, 2020-04)There is variable evidence regarding survivorship beyond 20 years of total hip arthroplasties in young patients. We report the long-term results of the Exeter cemented hip system in patients ≤50 years at minimum of 20 years. -
Multiple injections for low back pain: what's the future?
(Springer, 2020-03)Aims: To examine the strength of evidence available for multiple facet joint injections (FJIs) and medial branch blocks (MBBs), and to report on the variations in the NHS England framework using the getting it right first ... -
Simultaneous or staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty? An analysis of complications in 14,460 patients using national data
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (SimBTHA) is often performed in younger, fitter patients with bilateral hip disease. If patients are deemed not suitable for SimBTHA due to concurrent comorbidity, it may be ...
