This review examines the future of total hip arthroplasty, aiming to avoid past mistakes

The December 2014 Hip & Pelvis Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Sports and total hips; topical tranexamic acid and blood conservation in hip replacement; blind spots and biases in hip research; no recurrence in cam lesions at two years; to drain or not to drain?; sonication and diagnosis of implant associated infection; and biomarkers and periprosthetic infection

The June 2014 Wrist & Hand Roundup360 looks at: aart throwing not quite as we thought; two-gear, four-bar linkage in the wrist?; assessing outcomes in distal radial fractures; gold standard Swanson’s?; multistrand repairs of unclear benefit in flexor tendon release; for goodness’ sake, leave the thumb alone in scaphoid fractures; horizons in carpal tunnel surgery; treading the Essex-Lopresti tightrope; wrist replacement in trauma? and radial shortening reliable in the long term for Kienbock’s disease

The June 2014 Hip & Pelvis Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Modular femoral necks: early signs are not good; is corrosion to blame for modular neck failures; metal-on-metal is not quite a closed book; no excess failures in fixation of displaced femoral neck fractures; noise no problem in hip replacement; heterotopic ossification after hip arthroscopy: are NSAIDs the answer?; thrombotic and bleeding events surprisingly low in total joint replacement; and the elephant in the room: complications and surgical volume.

The February 2013 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: the human genome; new RNA; cells, matrix and gene enhancement; the histology of x-rays; THR and VTE in the Danish population; potential therapeutic targets for GCT; optimising vancomycin elution from cement; and how much sleep is enough.
