to displace in a cast leading to malunion with reduced functional
and cosmetic results. In order to identify risk factors for

Aims. The aim of this study was to define the complications and long-term outcome following adolescent mid-shaft clavicular fracture. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of 677 adolescent fractures in 671 patients presenting to our region (age 13 to 17 years) over a ten-year period (2009 to 2019). Long-term patient-reported outcomes (abbreviated version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) score and EuroQol five-dimension three-level (EQ-5D-3L) quality of life score) were undertaken at a mean of 6.4 years (1.2 to 11.3) following injury in severely displaced mid-shaft fractures (Edinburgh 2B) and angulated mid-shaft fractures (Edinburgh 2A2) at a minimum of one year post-injury. The median patient age was 14.8 years (interquartile range (IQR) 14.0 to 15.7) and 89% were male (n = 594/671). Results. The majority of fractures were mid-shaft (n = 606) with angulation (Edinburgh 2A2, n = 241/606, 39.8%) or
Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term inducible
displacement of cemented tibial components ten years after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and Methods. A total of 15 patients from a previously reported prospective
trial of fixation using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) were examined
at a mean of 11 years (10 to 11) postoperatively. Longitudinal supine
RSA examinations were acquired at one week, one year, and two years
postoperatively and at final follow-up. Weight-bearing RSA examinations
were also undertaken with the operated lower limb in neutral and
in maximum internal rotation positions. Maximum total point motion
(MTPM) was calculated for the longitudinal and inducible

1. The rate of non-union of 100 intertrochanteric osteotomies of the McMurray type, with internal fixation, is reported. One in five was not united one year after operation. The criteria of union are discussed. 2. The patient's disability in twelve ununited osteotomies has been assessed, and related to the mobility of the osteotomy. 3. The factors which prejudice union have been analysed. The principal cause of non-union appeared to be the varus angulation strain on a varus osteotomy displaced medially more than half the diameter of the bone. Obliquity inwards and upwards of the osteotomy was a contributory factor. The types of internal fixation used, the use of external splintage and the period of protected weight bearing with crutches did not appear to be related to the rate of union. 4. It is concluded that marked inward
In cases of established calcaneus after anterior poliomyelitis the deformity can be greatly reduced by combining an extensive plantar release with an oblique transverse osteotomy of the calcaneus that permits
