Aims. Professional dancers represent a unique patient population in the setting of hip arthroplasty, given the high degree of hip strength and mobility required by their profession. We sought to determine the clinical outcomes and ability to return to professional dance after

Aims. Computer-assisted 3D preoperative planning software has the potential to improve postoperative stability in
Given the increasing number of total hip arthroplasty
procedures being performed annually, it is imperative that orthopaedic
surgeons understand factors responsible for instability. In order
to treat this potentially complex problem, we recommend correctly
classifying the type of instability present based on component position, abductor
function, impingement, and polyethylene wear. Correct classification
allows the treating surgeon to choose the appropriate revision option
that ultimately will allow for the best potential outcome. Cite this article:

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

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:
