Aims. Use of videos for patient education has grown in popularity. Literature promotes the use of videos to provide clearer information to patients and families. Information to patients are often provided via leaflets. In our regional (Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health board- CTM UHB) one stop clinic, we aimed to pilot the use of an educational video on

Laterality and bilaterality have been reported as prognostic variables in DDH outcomes. However, there is little clarity across the literature on the reporting of laterality in
Although there are several reports of excellent long-term survival after cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA), cemented acetabular components are prone to become loose when compared with femoral components. On the other hand, the survival of cementless acetabular components has been reported to be equal or better than cemented ones and the use of cementless acetabular components is increasing. However, most of the reports on survival after THA are for patients with primary hip osteoarthritis (OA) and there is no report of 20-year survival of cementless THA for patients with
Background. It is technically challenging to restore hip rotation center exactly in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis secondary to

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a potentially devastating complication of treatment for
Introduction. Robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty helps acetabular preparation and implantation with the assistance of a robotic arm. A computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system is also helpful for acetabular preparation and implantation, however, there is no report to compare these methods. The purpose of this study is to compare the acetabular cup position between the assistance of the robotic arm and the CT-based navigation system in total hip arthroplasty for patients with osteoarthritis secondary to
