Aims. There is evidence that morbidly obese patients have more intra- and postoperative complications and poorer outcomes when undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the

Aims. It is not known whether preservation of the capsule of the hip positively affects patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in total hip arthroplasty using the

(THA) remains controversial. The
Introduction. In total hip arthroplasty, correct sizing is critical for fixation and longevity of cementless components. Previously, three-dimensional CT templating has been shown to be more accurate than using 2D radiographs. The accuracy of the Optimized Positioning System (OPS. TM. ) planning software has not been reported. The aim of this study was to measure the accuracy of the OPS planning software in predicting the implanted acetabular cup and femoral stem size when used with the
Aims. The
Our unit historically performed total hip replacement (THR) through either posterior or anterolateral approaches. In November 2020 a group of 5 consultants transitioned to utilising the
The excitement and enthusiasm that accompanies the introduction of many new technologies and techniques can be self-sustaining, meaning that the appeal of doing something new or different (not necessarily doing something better) becomes the prime driver. Such is likely the case today with the
Psoas tendinopathy is a potential cause of groin pain after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The
A complete cement mantle is important for the longevity of a total hip replacement. In the minimally-invasive

Aims. This study aimed to use intraoperative free electromyography to examine how the placement of a retractor at different positions along the anterior acetabular wall may affect the femoral nerve during total hip arthroplasty (THA) when undertaken using the
The purpose of this study was to report all complications during the first consecutive 865 cases of bikini incision
Background. Pre-operative autologous blood donation is recommended as a means of reducing the need for allogeneic transfusion before simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there have been few reports on the optimal amount of autologous donation for this procedure. In this study we sought to determine the amount of autologous blood required for patient undergoing simultaneous bilateral THA using the
Introduction:. The incidence of heterotrophic ossification after primary total hip arthoplasty (THA) has been reported to be between 8 to 90%. The incidence is higher in lateral approach because of extensive muscular trauma associated with it. There exists limited data on the incidence of heterotrophic ossification after
Aims. Optimal exposure through the
INTRODUCTION. The
Introduction. Prosthetic replacement remains the treatment of choice for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly population, with recent literature demonstrating significant functional benefits of total hip arthroplasty (THA) over hemiarthroplasty. Yet the fracture population also has historically high rates of early postoperative instability when treated with THA. The
