We aimed to assess the influence of ethnicity on the incidence
of heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We studied the six-month post-operative anteroposterior radiographs
of 1449 consecutive primary THAs (1324 patients) and retrospectively
graded them for the presence of HO, using the Brooker Classification. Aims
Patients and Methods
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of
the most feared and challenging complications following total knee arthroplasty.
We provide a detailed description of our current understanding regarding
the management of PJI of the knee, including diagnostic aids,
pre-operative planning, surgical treatment, and outcome. Cite this article:
