Abstract

Background

Fracture dislocation of the knee involves disruption of two or more knee ligaments with associated tibial plateau fracture. If these injuries are not evaluated swiftly, can result in a limb-threatening injury. The aim of this study is to look at the clinical outcomes of a single surgeon case series at a major trauma centre.

Methods

Prospectively collected data was analysed for a 5-year period. Primary outcome measures used were International Knee Documented Committee(IKDC) score and Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome Score(KOOS). The secondary outcome measures include Tegner activity scale, knee range of movements & complications.

Abstract

Background

Traumatic knee dislocations are devastating injuries and there is no single best accepted treatment. Treatment needs to be customised to the patient taking into consideration injury to the knee; associated neurovascular and systemic injuries.

Objective

This study looked at functional outcome of a single surgeon case series of patients who underwent surgical management of their knee dislocation.

Aims

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, incidence of hip fracture has not changed. Evidence has shown increased mortality rates associated with COVID-19 infection. However, little is known about the outcomes of COVID-19 negative patients in a pandemic environment. In addition, the impact of vitamin D levels on mortality in COVID-19 hip fracture patients has yet to be determined.

Methods

This multicentre observational study included 1,633 patients who sustained a hip fracture across nine hospital trusts in North West England. Data were collected for three months from March 2020 and for the same period in 2019. Patients were matched by Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS), hospital, and fracture type. We looked at the mortality outcomes of COVID-19 positive and COVID-19 negative patients sustaining a hip fracture. We also looked to see if vitamin D levels had an impact on mortality.

Background

Revision total hip arthroplasty is a technically demanding procedure and especially removing a well fixed femoral stem is a challenge for revision surgeons. There are various types of trochanteric osteotomies used during revision surgery; extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is being more popular.

Aim

The aim of this study is to look at types of trochanteric osteotomy used during the revision surgery. We looked at the success and failure of these osteotomies. Failure of the osteotomy is defined by complete pull off by the hip abductors resulting in osteotomy fragment is no contact with the femur. We sought to assess the time to healing of osteotomy and number of cables used.

Background

The factors that are considered to be associated with successful clinical outcome fallowing cervical arthroplasty surgery are patient selection, absence of facet joint changes and lack of pre-operative kyphosis. Even though many studies have cited the pre-operative demographic details of their patient groups, the effect of associated psychological co-morbidities (Depression/Anxiety), smoking history, gender, social benefits and employment status on the clinical outcome measures have not been reported. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of pre-operative patient characteristics on the clinical outcomes following cervical disc replacement.

Methods

We included 126 patients who underwent single or multiple level cervical arthroplasty in our unit were included in the study. The clinical outcome measures such as Visual Analogue Score for neck pain (VAS-NP) and arm pain (VAS-AP); Neck disability Index (NDI), Hospital depression and anxiety scale and Bodily pain component of Short Form 36 questionnaires (SF-36 P) were recorded pre and post operatively. Statistical analysis was completed using SPSS 16.0 statistical package (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).

Introduction

In the last decade, single level cervical arthroplasty has proven its efficacy as one of the surgical treatment option for for patients suffering from cervical degenerative disc disease. Recent published reports on multilevel cervical arthroplasty using single implants have shown statistically significant results when compared to single level surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of multilevel cervical arthroplasty to single level cervical arthroplasty, when more than one type of implants were used.

Methods

This is a prospective study of consecutive patients who presented to our unit in between June 2006 and November 2009. The maximum follow-up period was 51 months (mean=18 months). Several types of cervical arthroplasty devices have been used in this study. The clinical outcome measures such as Visual Analogue Score for neck pain (VAS-NP) and arm pain (VAS-AP); Neck disability Index (NDI) and the Bodily pain component of Short Form 36 questionnaires were recorded pre and post operatively. After confirming the normality of the data appropriate parametric (paired t-test) were used to assess the statistical significance (p< 0.05) between pre and post-operative values. Two sample T-test was used to assess the significance between the differences in mean scores between each group.
