We report the results of 60 patients who were assessed using the Oxford Hip Score following surgery for revision of ASL XL and ASR Resurfacing systems at our institution. We included preoperative metal ion levels, surgical approach, revision implant, and post op histology and complications to determine variables for improved outcomes. We performed a retrospective review of consecutive series patients who underwent revision surgery between 2007 – 2015. We collected and analysed data from 60 patients regarding time between surgery, surgical technique including approach and anaesthesia, estimated blood loss (EBL), revision implant, post op complications, histology, and length of post-operative stay. We correlated these findings to the patients reported outcomes measures using the Oxford Hip Score, which were obtained by post.Aim
Methods
We retrospectively evaluated our five years' experience in using Expandable Fixion nail system in tibial diaphyseal fractures. Eighteen cases with closed tibial diaphyseal fracture were identified between January 2006 and January 2011, all treated successfully with Fixion intramedullary nail as a primary osteosynthesis device.Introduction
