Aims. Postoperative length of stay (LOS) and discharge dispositions following arthroplasty can be used as surrogate measurements for improvements in patients’ pathways and costs. With the increasing use of robotic technology in arthroplasty, it is important to assess its impact on LOS. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with decreased LOS following robotic arm-assisted

Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a patient-specific algorithm which we developed for predicting changes in sagittal pelvic tilt after
This was a randomised controlled trial studying
the safety of a new short metaphyseal fixation (SMF) stem. We hypothesised
that it would have similar early clinical results and micromovement
to those of a standard-length tapered Synergy metaphyseal fixation
stem. Using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) we compared the two
stems in 43 patients. A short metaphyseal fixation stem was used
in 22 patients and a Synergy stem in 21 patients. No difference
was found in the clinical outcomes pre- or post-operatively between
groups. RSA showed no significant differences two years post-operatively
in mean micromovement between the two stems (except for varus/valgus tilt
at p = 0.05) (subsidence 0.94 mm ( Cite this article:
