Introduction. Robotic TKA allows for quantifiable precision performing bone resections for implant realignment within acceptable final component and limb alignments. One of the early steps in this robotic technique is after initial exposure and removal of medial and lateral osteophytes, a “pose-capture” is performed with varus and valgus stress applied to the knee in near full extension and 90° of flexion to assess gaps. Component alignment adjustments can be made on the preoperative plan to balance the gaps. At this point in the procedure any

Introduction: Despite the advances in total hip arthroplasty (THA), a dislocation after THA remains a disturbing complication. Dislocation after revision hip arthroplasty has been an underemphasized cause of failure in revision hip arthroplasty despite its higher dislocation rate than after primary THA. The effectiveness of

Background. Surgical site infection following spine surgery is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and increased cost for the health care system. The reported pooled incidence is 3%. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is a key factor in lowering the risk of acquiring an infection. Previous studies have assessed perioperative cefuroxime concentrations in the anterior column of the cervical spine with an anterior surgical approach. However, the majority of surgeries are performed in the

As Total Hip Replacement (THR) rates increase healthcare providers have sought to reduce costs, while at the same time improving patient safety and satisfaction. Up to 50% of patients may be appropriate for Day Case THR, and in appropriately selected patients’ studies show no increase in complication rate while affording a significant cost saving and maintaining a high rate of patient satisfaction. Despite the potential benefits, levels of adoption of Day Case THR vary. A common cause for this is the perception that doing so would require the adoption of new surgical techniques, implants, or theatre equipment. We report on a Day-Case THR pathway in centres with an established and well-functioning Enhanced Recovery pathway, utilising the
