Orthopaedic outcome measures are used to evaluate the effect of operative interventions. They are used for audit and research. Knowledge of these measures is becoming increasingly important with league tables comparing surgeons and hospitals being made accessible to the profession and the general public. Several types of tool are available to describe outcome after

The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy

imageless and image-based registration. A virtual cam lesion was

In developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH),
a bone defect is often observed superior to the acetabulum after
the reconstruction at the level of the true acetabulum during total
hip replacement (THR). However, the essential amount of uncemented
acetabular component coverage required for a satisfactory outcome
remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess the
stability and function of acetabular components with a lack of coverage >
30% (31% to 50%). A total of 760 DDH patients underwent THR with
acetabular reconstruction at the level of the true floor. Lack of
coverage above the acetabular component of >
