Metal meshes are used in revision surgery of the hip to contain impacted bone grafts in cases with cortical or calcar defects in order to provide rotational stability to the stem. However, the viability of bone
This study investigates the use of porous biphasic ceramics as graft extenders in impaction grafting of the femur during revision hip surgery. Impaction grafting of the femur was performed in four groups of sheep. Group one received pure
We examined the association of graft type with
the risk of early revision of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(ACLR) in a community-based sample. A retrospective analysis of
a cohort of 9817 ACLRs recorded in an ACLR Registry was performed.
Patients were included if they underwent primary ACLR with bone–patellar tendon–bone
autograft, hamstring tendon autograft or
We followed prospectively 69 patients with 78 proximal femoral
There are few medium- and long-term data on the outcome of the use of proximal femoral structural
We report the contamination rate in the Cambridge bone bank of 35 consecutive
From November 1994 to March 1997, we harvested 137 grafts of the femoral head from 125 patients for donation during total hip arthroplasty according to the guidelines of the American Associations of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the European Association of Musculo-Skeletal transplantation (EAMST). In addition to the standards recommended by these authorities, we performed histopathological examination of a core biopsy of the retrieved bone
Glenoid replacement is technically challenging. Removal of a cemented glenoid component often results in a large osseous defect which makes the immediate introduction of a revision prosthesis almost impossible. We describe a two-stage revision procedure using a reversed shoulder prosthesis. Freeze-dried
This study reports the clinical outcome of reconstruction
of deficient abductor muscles following revision total hip arthroplasty
(THA), using a fresh–frozen
Previously, radiostereometric analysis following hip revision performed using impacted morsellised
Several techniques have been described to reconstruct a mobile wrist joint after resection of the distal radius for tumour. We reviewed our experience of using an osteo-articular
Implantation of
An analysis of the cement mantle obtained with the Exeter impaction
We assessed the results of 17 limb-salvage procedures using osteoarticular
The continual cycle of bone formation and resorption
is carried out by osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts under
the direction of the bone-signaling pathway. In certain situations
the host cycle of bone repair is insufficient and requires the assistance
of bone grafts and their substitutes. The fundamental properties
of a bone graft are osteoconduction, osteoinduction, osteogenesis,
and structural support. Options for bone grafting include autogenous
and
We investigated the radiographic and clinical course of 31 patients in whom a bulk acetabular
The aim of limb-salvage surgery in malignant bone tumours in children is to restore function and eradicate local disease with as little morbidity as possible. Allografts are associated with a high rate of complications, particularly malunion at the allograft-host junction. We describe a simple technique which enhances union of
This study explored the relationship between the initial stability of the femoral component and penetration of cement into the graft bed following impaction
