We have reviewed the serial radiographs of 63 hips in 53 children treated by closed reduction for congenital dislocation with a view to finding a radiological measurement which can predict subsequent
We have studied whether the state of the articular cartilage at the time of rotational
To investigate the effect of polyethylene manufacturing characteristics and irradiation dose on the survival of cemented and reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasties (THAs). In this registry study, data from the National Joint Registry of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man (NJR) were linked with manufacturing data supplied by manufacturers. The primary endpoint was revision of any component. Cox proportional hazard regression was a primary analytic approach adjusting for competing risk of death, patient characteristics, head composition, and stem fixation.Aims
Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed of eight patients with an open triradiate cartilage, who underwent resection for osteosarcoma and reconstruction of the proximal femur with a hemiarthroplasty, in order to identify changes of
We undertook a randomised controlled trial to

Using dried bones which could be tilted and rotated, we assessed the accuracy of published radiographic methods for measuring the migration of prosthetic

Hereditary multiple exostoses is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by multiple osteochondromata, most commonly affecting the forearm, knee and ankle. Osteochondromata of the proximal femur have been reported to occur in 30% to 90% of affected patients with coxa valga in 25%.

The vertical-centre-anterior margin (VCA) angle quantifies the anterior cover of the femoral head. However, when the femoral head is deformed it may be difficult to identify its centre. We have therefore created a new index, the anterior
The best treatment for a fractured neck of femur in an old person is considered by many to be replacement hemiarthroplasty which allows the patient to walk immediately on a stable, painless hip. The late results can be marred by
We reviewed 120 consecutive primary total hip replacements in 109 patients in whom a Freeman uncemented metal-backed component had been used.

In the first few months of life, a notch may be seen on radiographs of the superolateral margin of the infant hip. It may be associated with a steeply inclined
