Injuries to the sciatic nerve are an occasional complication of surgery to the hip and acetabulum, and traction is frequently the causative mechanism. In vitro and animal experiments have shown that increased tensile strain on peripheral nerves, when applied for prolonged periods, impairs nerve function. We have used video-extensometry to measure strain on the human sciatic nerve during total hip replacement (THR). Ten consecutive patients with a mean age of 72 years undergoing primary THR by the posterior approach were recruited, and strains in the sciatic nerve were measured in different combinations of flexion and extension of the hip and
Since 1974, we have made a prospective study in Bristol of the results of unicompartmental knee replacement using the St Georg sledge prosthesis. A total of 115

The treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in children and adolescents is determined by the stability of the lesion and the state of the overlying cartilage. MRI has been advocated as an accurate way of assessing and staging such lesions. Our aim was to determine if MRI scans accurately predicted the subsequent arthroscopic findings in adolescents with OCD of the

Medial tibial plateaux excised during 46 unicompartmental arthroplasties for osteoarthritis were collected and photographed. The anterior cruciate ligament was intact in all joints. In every case the cartilage and bone erosion was centred anteriorly on the plateau and the posterior cartilage was intact. The site of the lesion and the intact state of the cruciate ligaments taken together explain why varus deformity was observed only in the extended

Minimally invasive total knee replacement (MIS-TKR)
has been reported to have better early recovery than conventional
TKR. Quadriceps-sparing (QS) TKR is the least invasive MIS procedure,
but it is technically demanding with higher reported rates of complications
and outliers. This study was designed to compare the early clinical
and radiological outcomes of TKR performed by an experienced surgeon
using the QS approach with or without navigational assistance (NA),
or using a mini-medial parapatellar (MP) approach. In all, 100 patients
completed a minimum two-year follow-up: 30 in the NA-QS group, 35
in the QS group, and 35 in the MP group. There were no significant
differences in clinical outcome in terms of ability to perform a

The aim of this to study was to compare the previously unreported
long-term survival outcome of the Oxford medial unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty (UKA) performed by trainee surgeons and consultants. We therefore identified a previously unreported cohort of 1084
knees in 947 patients who had a UKA inserted for anteromedial knee
arthritis by consultants and surgeons in training, at a tertiary
arthroplasty centre and performed survival analysis on the group
with revision as the endpoint.Aims
