Background

Hoffa pad in Total knee replacement is a mystery. Very few studies have been carried out and no obvious results have been achieved.

Aim

Our aim was to compare the clinical value of the Hoffa pad including blood loss, range of motion, anterior knee pain and swelling post total knee replacement.

Introduction

Neonatal fractures are often quite distressing to parents and medical teams involved. Their management can be daunting due to the small size of the patient, the concern of the new parents and the fear of the obstetric staff about litigation and deformity or long term disability of the neonate.

Aim

This study assesses the radiological and functional outcome of neonatal fractures up to two years post injury.

Introduction and aim

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head remains a major post-operative complication of the surgical fixation of femoral neck fractures (#NOF). In order to reduce the incidence of AVN following this type of fracture, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has stated that fixation must occur within 6 hours. However, there is a paucity of information concerning whether time to fixation influences the development of AVN. The aim of the present study was to assess whether time to fixation affects the development of AVN in patients aged under 60 who had sustained a fracture (#)NOF.

Methods

We looked retrospectively at 101 patients (61 female, 40 male aged under 60 (mean age 47 years) who were admitted to a multi-tertiary centre having sustained an intracapsular #NOF. The underlying co morbidity of the patient sample was varied, as was the mechanism of trauma, though in the majority of cases the cause was a simple fall. The time delay (TD) between the time of injury and the time of operation for each patient was determined.

Introduction

The Oxford Knee Score is a well validated, commonly used scoring system. Previous studies have suggested that the score is influenced by demographic differences between patients in particular the functional component more than the pain and clinical components. The aim of this study was to further assess this using a large number of patients.

Methods

The pre, 3 months and 12 months post-surgical Oxford Knee Scores were collected from 1492 patients from five distinct demographic locations undergoing total knee arthroplasty over twelve years under the care of 8 different consultants. A total of 735 patients had complete data sets. The scores were than analysed to test whether age, postcode, sex or consultant in charge had any significant effects on the outcome.
