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 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). -
3-phase Technicium-99m bone scanning in patients with pain in the hip region after cemented total hip replacement: a multicentre series of 100 cases.
(Wichtig, 2017-11-21)The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of a Technetium-99M (HDP) 3-phase bone scan (TPBS) as an additional diagnostic test in the evaluation of pain in the hip region following cemented total hip replacement (THR) ... -
Description of the rates, trends and surgical burden associated with revision for prosthetic joint infection following primary and revision knee replacements in England and Wales: an analysis of the National Joint Registry for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.
(BMJ, 2017-07-10)To describe the prevalence rates of revision surgery for the treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) for patients undergoing knee replacement, their time trends, the cumulative incidence function of revision for PJI ... -
Vibration therapy versus standard treatment for tennis elbow: A randomized controlled study.
(Sage, 2018-08-15)To determine whether a mechanical, high-frequency vibration device (Tenease™) can improve pain and function for the treatment of tennis elbow (TE), compared with standard treatment. -
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome after Total Knee Arthroplasty is Rare and Misdiagnosis Potentially Hazardous-Prospective Study of the New Diagnostic Criteria in 100 Patients with No Cases Identified.
(Thieme, 2018-01-02)Previous studies suggest that complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) occurs in up to 21% of patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, this diagnosis has a substantial impact on the patient's management if ...
