There is no consensus on the bearing of choice in revision for ceramic fracture after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes using ceramic‐on‐polyethylene (CoP) articulation in revision for ceramic breakage. Twelve patients who underwent revision hip surgery between 2002 and 2013 were followed-up. Appropriate surgical technique, including accurate synoviectomy,...
With the increasing prevalence of total hip arthroplasty and the increasing longevity of patients with implants in situ, periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur are seen with greater frequency. They represent a challenging surgical problem, requiring combined arthroplasty and trauma skills in a potentially compromised surgical bed. We present data from the 82 consecutive patients with periprosthetic...
Since the introduction of digital X-rays, many orthopaedic departments have used digital projection systems to display diagnostic images during discussion, there has been no published work directly comparing the sensitivity high resolution diagnostic monitors with standard digital projection systems in the context of orthopaedic injuries.Participants were asked to review AP pelvic radiographs of non-displaced...
Pre-operative digital templating allows the surgeon to foresee any anatomical anomalies which may lead to intra-operative problems, and anticipate appropriate instruments and implants required during surgery. Although its role is well-established in successful elective total hip arthroplasty, little work has been done on its use in hip hemiarthroplasty in neck of femur fractures. We describe our initial...
The Variable angle Martin Plate (MP) is designed to offer patient-specific adaption for the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures. Its proposed benefits include optimization of lag screw placement, plate shaft congruence and reduced risk of failure. Often its use has been criticized as representing a poor reduction of the fracture. The purpose of this study was to assess for a poorer quality...
Surgical hip dislocation with trochanteric osteotomy was introduced for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and other intra-articular pathologies of the hip. We expanded the indications to include removal of retained bullets in the hip joint as an alternative to hip arthroscopy.We present a prospective case series of ten patients that were treated with a surgical hip dislocation for removal...
