We report a long-term review of 60 acetabular components revised using impacted, morsellised bone allografts and a
We have compared prospectively the incidence of loosening of 20 femoral stems with a matt surface with that of 20 polished stems of an otherwise identical tapered, non-modular design of Exeter hip replacement. The stems were inserted using the same technique at operation and radiographs showed no difference in the adequacy of the
We used radiostereometric analysis to compare wear rates between uncemented porous sockets and
We reviewed retrospectively the outcome of the treatment by impaction grafting of periprosthetic femoral fractures around loose stems in 106 patients with Vancouver type-B2 and type-B3 fractures. Eighty-nine patients had a

Severe leg pain in a patient after total hip replacement was found to be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by methylmethacrylate
Mechanical and biomechanical testing of a new bone
Proponents of the biological theory of aseptic loosening have in recent years tended to concentrate on the production and distribution of particulate ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) debris around the potential joint space. However, mechanical loading of
We analysed the CT scans and radiographs of 76 vertebrae in 49 patients who underwent vertebroplasty for painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Leaks of
We have reviewed 202 consecutive primary hip replacements using a Freeman
We reviewed the clinical and radiological results of 131 patients who underwent acetabular revision for aseptic loosening with impacted bone allograft and a

Aims . The highly cross-linked polyethylene Exeter RimFit flanged cemented
acetabular component was introduced in the United Kingdom in 2010.
This study aimed to examine the rates of emergence of radiolucent
lines observed when the Rimfit acetabular component was implanted
at total hip arthroplasty (THA) using two different techniques: firstly,
the ‘rimcutter’ technique in which the flange sits on a pre-prepared
acetabular rim; and secondly, the ‘trimmed flange’ technique in
which the flange is trimmed and the acetabular component is seated
inside the rim of the acetabulum. . Patients and Methods . The radiographs of 150 THAs (75 ‘rimcutter’, 75 ‘trimmed flange’)
involving this component were evaluated to assess for radiolucencies
