Introduction

High flexion knee arthroplasties have been designed to allow up to 155 degrees flexion and enable high flexion activities such as kneeling and squatting. To date randomised controlled trials have shown no difference in range of movement (ROM) between high flexion and standard designs.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine if there is a difference in functional outcome and ROM between the standard and high flexion design of the PFC Sigma TKA system.

Background

Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is a debilitating condition affecting 2–5% of the adult population. Its aetiology is still unclear and there is no consensus on the most effective treatment. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the mid-term functional outcome of one specific treatment protocol.

Methods

Patients with a diagnosis of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis treated by one orthopaedic surgeon between 2004 and 2008 were identified from outpatient clinic letters. All patients had initially received conservative treatment, consisting of physiotherapy with capsular stretches and subacromial injections. Patients in whom conservative treatment failed underwent an arthroscopic capsular release. At a minimum of two years following diagnosis patients were sent the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS [0 to 48]), Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC [0 to 2100]) and a satisfaction questionnaire by post. In addition case notes were reviewed and type of treatment and range of movement (ROM) recorded.

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to establish whether men and women with a fragility hip fracture were equally investigated and treated for osteoporosis.

Methods

A retrospective review was carried out including 91 patients (48 females, 43 males) who were admitted with a fragility hip fracture between March 2003 and April 2004. Data about age, sex, investigations and medication were collected from the case notes, GP surgeries and the bone densitometry database. Investigations and treatment were compared with current guideline recommendations (SIGN 2003, NICE 2005). Data were analysed using SPSS Version 13.0.
