We have carried out a retrospective review of 11 Souter-Strathclyde primary total elbow arthroplasties in ten patients with

Fractures of the distal radius occurring in young adults are treated increasingly by open surgical techniques, partly because of concern that failure to restore the alignment of the fracture accurately may cause symptomatic post-traumatic

We compared the results ten years after an inverted V-shaped high tibial osteotomy with those of a historical series of conventional closing-wedge osteotomies. The closing-wedge series consisted of 56 knees in 51 patients with a mean follow-up of 11 years (10 to 15). The inverted V-shaped osteotomy was evaluated in 48 knees in 43 patients at a mean follow-up of 14 years (10 to 19). All the patients were scored using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association rating scale for

We have analysed from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register the long-term survivorship of the 12 most commonly-used cemented implants between 1980 and 2005 in patients aged 55 years or older with

We reviewed the results of 277 intertrochanteric valgus-extension osteotomies performed between 1973 and 1975 for primary or secondary
The relationship between meniscal tearing and degenerative joint disease was studied by macroscopic examination of 115 knees at necropsy. The incidence of meniscal pathology was 57 per cent. There was no overall difference in the severity and distribution of tibiofemoral degeneration, whether the meniscus was torn or normal. We found little evidence that degenerative meniscal tears cause
Joint deÌbridement, by excision of synovial membrane, osteophytes, degenerate cartilage, loose bodies, and frequently the patella, has relieved the symptoms of
Conclusions based on forty-six osteotomies show this to be a sound pain-relieving operation for
