Aims. The practice of overlapping surgery has been increasing in the delivery of orthopaedic surgery, aiming to provide efficient, high-quality care. However, there are concerns about the safety of this practice. The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of a model of partially overlapping surgery that we termed ‘swing room’ in the practice of primary total
We report the outcome at ten to 15 years of two-stage revision for
Objectives. Preclinical data showed poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) loaded with microsilver to be effective against a variety of bacteria. The purpose of this study was to assess patient safety of PMMA spacers with microsilver in prosthetic
Objectives. To validate the precision of digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and the model-based method (MBM) RSA with respect to benchmark marker-based (MM) RSA for evaluation of kinematics in the native
Aims. Open reduction is required following failed conservative treatment
of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The Ludloff medial
approach is commonly used, but poor results have been reported,
with rates of the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) varying
between 8% and 54%. This retrospective cohort study evaluates the
long-term radiographic and clinical outcome of dislocated
Aim. This paper describes the methods applied to assess the cost-effectiveness of cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty among
Aims. The success rates of two-stage revision arthroplasty for infection have evolved since their early description. The implementation of internationally accepted outcome criteria led to the readjustment of such rates. However, patients who do not undergo reimplantation are usually set aside from these calculations. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of two-stage revision arthroplasty when considering those who do not undergo reimplantation, and to investigate the characteristics of this subgroup. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with chronic

Aims. The purpose of this study was to examine whether leg-length discrepancy (LLD) following unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the incidence of contralateral head collapse and subsequent THA in patients with bilateral osteonecrosis, and to determine factors associated with subsequent collapse. Patients and Methods. We identified 121 patients with bilateral non-traumatic osteonecrosis who underwent THA between 2003 and 2011 to treat a symptomatic
