Abstract

Background

Whilst the literature abounds with patient reported outcomes following total knee replacement (TKR) there is a paucity of literature covering objective functional outcomes. Awareness of objective functional outcomes following TKR is key to the consent process and relating it to pre-operative function enables a tailored approach to consent.

Objectives

Identify trends in a range of functional outcomes prior to and following TKR up to one year post-operatively.

Abstract

Background

Lower limb mechanical axis has long been seen as a key to successful in lower limb surgery, including knee arthroplasty. Traditionally, coronal alignment has been assessed with weight-bearing lower limb radiographs (LLR) allowing assessment of hip-knee-ankle alignment. More recently CT scanograms (CTS) have been advocated as a possible alternative, having the potential benefits of being quicker, cheaper, requiring less specialist equipment and being non-weightbearing.

Objectives

To evaluate the accuracy and comparability of lower limb alignment values derived from LLR versus CTS.

Background

A dedicated referral pathway for patients with bony metastases was introduced at Guy's and St Thomas’ Hospitals (GSTT) in 2009. The aim was to facilitate prompt, consultant-led decision-making and intervention for patients at risk of pathological fracture of long bones.

Methods

We performed a clinical audit and service evaluation of the referral pathway through retrospective review of referrals over 3.5 years.
