A heavy infiltrate of foreign-body macrophages is commonly seen in the fibrous membrane which surrounds an aseptically loose

We report the effectiveness of revision of total
elbow replacement by re-cementing. Between 1982 and 2004, 53 elbows
in 52 patients were treated with re-cementing of a total elbow replacement
into part or all of the existing
Despite excellent results, the use of cemented
total hip replacement (THR) is declining. This retrospective cohort study
records survival time to revision following primary
We present an update of the clinical and radiological results of 62 consecutive acetabular revisions using impacted morsellised cancellous bone grafts and a
We present the results of 62 consecutive acetabular
revisions using impaction bone grafting and a
An experimental evaluation was made of the efficacy of an unflanged cup, an ogee-flanged cup and the Exeter pressuriser in the pressurisation of acetabular
Fatigue fractures which originate at stress-concentrating voids located at the implant-cement interface are a potential cause of septic loosening of
In a time of limited resources, the debate continues
over which types of hip prosthesis are clinically superior and more
cost-effective. Orthopaedic surgeons increasingly need robust economic
evidence to understand the full value of the operation, and to aid
decision making on the ‘package’ of procedures that are available
and to justify their practice beyond traditional clinical preference. . In this paper we explore the current economic debate about the
merits of
We have tested the porosity and fatigue life of five commonly used bone
Instruments used in surgery which rotate or vibrate at a high frequency can produce potentially contaminated aerosols. Such tools are in use in
We report a case of spontaneous physeal growth arrest of the distal femur in a nine-year-old child with Ewing’s sarcoma of the proximal femur treated with chemotherapy and endoprosthetic replacement. Owing to the extent of disuse osteoporosis at the time of surgery, the entire intramedullary canal up to the distal femoral physis was filled with
Bleeding from cancellous bone causes lamination within bone
Despite the worldwide usage of the
We report the five-year outcome of a randomised
controlled trial which used radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to assess
the influence of surface oxidised zirconium (OxZr, Oxinium) on polyethylene
wear in vivo. A total of 120 patients, 85 women and 35 men with a mean age
of 70 years (59 to 80) who were scheduled for primary
We have compared the rates of infection and resistance in an animal model of an orthopaedic procedure which was contaminated with a low-dose inoculum of Staphylococcus epidermidis. We randomised 44 Sprague-Dawley rats to have bone
We studied various aspects of graft impaction and penetration of
Aims. The purpose of the present study was to examine the long-term

We studied the effect of the surface finish of the stem on the transfer of load in the proximal femur in a sheep model of
