The National Health Service produces over 500,000 tonnes of waste and 25 mega tonnes of CO2 annually. Operating room waste is segregated into different streams which are recycled, disposed of in landfill sites, or undergo costly and energy-intensive incineration processes. By assessing the quantity and recyclability of waste from primary
The purpose of this study was to determine long-term survival free from all-cause revision and stem-related failure, as well as radiographic and functional outcomes of the ZMR stem in revision THA. We retrospectively identified all patients in our institutional database who underwent revision THA using the ZMR Revision
Following the establishment of regional Major Trauma Networks in England in 2012, there were concerns that pressures regarding resource allocation in Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) may have a detrimental impact on the care of patients with

Background. In a number of disciplines, positive correlations have been reported between volume and clinical outcome. This has helped drive the evolution of specialist centres to deal with complex or high risk medical conditions.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular work such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent

Ideally the hip arthroplasty should not be subject to bony or prosthetic impingement, in order to minimise complications and optimise outcomes. Modern 3d planning permits pre-operative simulation of the movements of the planned hip arthroplasty to check for such impingement. For this to be meaningful, however, it is necessary to know the range of movement (ROM) that should be simulated. Arbitrary “normal” values for
