In this study we evaluated whether pre-operative

scores can predict satisfaction following total hip arthroplasty
(THA). Prospective data for a cohort of patients undergoing THA
from two large academic centres were collected, and pre-operative

The accurate assessment of skeletal maturity
is essential in the management of orthopaedic conditions in the growing
child. In order to identify the time of peak height velocity (PHV)
in adolescents, two systems for assessing skeletal maturity have
been described recently; the calcaneal apophyseal ossification method
and the Sanders hand

Objectives. The Oxford Hip and Knee Scores (OHS, OKS) have been demonstrated
to vary according to age and gender, making it difficult to compare
results in cohorts with different demographics. The aim of this
paper was to calculate reference values for different patient groups
and highlight the concept of normative reference data to contextualise an
individual’s outcome. Methods. We accessed prospectively collected OHS and OKS data for patients
undergoing lower limb joint arthroplasty at a single orthopaedic
teaching hospital during a five-year period.
T-scores were calculated based on the OHS and OKS distributions. . Results. Data were obtained from 3203 total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients
and 2742 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The mean age of
the patient was 68.0 years (. sd. 11.3, 58.4% women) in the
THA group and in 70.2 (. sd. 9.4; 57.5% women) in the TKA
group. T-scores were calculated for age and gender subgroups by
operation. Different T-score thresholds are seen at different time
points pre and post surgery. Values are further stratified by operation (THA/TKA)
age and gender. Conclusions. Normative data interpretation requires a fundamental shift in
the thinking as to the use of the Oxford Scores. Instead of reporting
