The orientation of the acetabular component is
influenced not only by the orientation at which the surgeon implants
the component, but also the orientation of the pelvis at the time
of implantation. Hence, the orientation of the pelvis at set-up
and its movement during the operation, are important. During 67

Increasing follow-up identifies the outcome in younger patients who have undergone total hip replacement (THR) and reveals the true potential for survival of the prosthesis. We identified 28 patients (39 THRs) who had undergone cemented Charnley low friction

The aim of this study was to report the results of custom-made endoprostheses with extracortical plates plus or minus a short, intramedullary stem aimed at preserving the physis after resection of bone sarcomas in children. Between 2007 and 2017, 18 children aged less than 16 years old who underwent resection of bone sarcomas, leaving ≤ 5 cm of bone from the physis, and reconstruction with a custom-made endoprosthesis were reviewed. Median follow-up was 67 months (interquartile range 45 to 91). The tumours were located in the femur in 11 patients, proximal humerus in six, and proximal tibia in one.Aims

If conclusions are to be of any value they must be definite and one cannot draw definite conclusions from less than, say, fifty cases followed up for at least five years. However, few surgeons will ever see fifty patients requiring
