The use of bone-anchored osseointegration implants for amputation reconstruction continues to expand throughout the world. Benefits are thought include elimination socket-related problems and improved control proprioception prosthetic limb. Reported outcomes have been positive, but skepticism remains with regard risk infection implant failure. Further results from early adopters therefore needed prior widespread acceptance regulatory approval.A retrospective review first 31 consecutive...
Several short- and mid-term studies have shown minimal liner wear of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the safety using thinner HXLPE liners to maximize femoral head size remains uncertain. The objective this study was analyze clinical survival radiological rates patients with liners, a 36 mm head, small acetabular component minimum ten years' follow-up.We retrospectively identified 55 who underwent primary THA performed at single centre,...
The effect of COVID-19 on pediatric trauma rates is still largely under investigation. With the potential need to reallocate human and financial resources at this challenging time, it will be useful have detailed descriptions understanding how pandemic affects these rates.We sought describe number acute admissions procedures performed in a level-I center Cork University Hospital, Ireland.We compared traumatic that occurred during first 4 weeks nationwide lockdown due with same 4-week period...
Aims Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common and safe orthopaedic procedure. Zimmer Biomet's NexGen the second most popular brand of implant used in UK. The primary cause revision after first year aseptic loosening. We present our experience using this implant, with significant concerns around its performance regards early loosening tibial component. Methods A retrospective, single-surgeon review was carried out all Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS) TKAs performed institute. specific model...
Aim and background: The management of bone union disorders is a complex problem in orthopaedics, requiring reliable comprehensive classification system for accurate diagnosis treatment.Despite advances understanding pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment this area, there no generally accepted system.The aim our work was to create classification, which will systemize the vast majority disorders, underline their differences form basis treatment. Methods:The key criteria nonunion evaluation were...
Aims The aim of this study was to explore differences in operative autonomy by trainee gender during orthopaedic training Ireland and the UK, with regard year, case complexity, index procedures, speciality area. Methods This retrospective cohort examined all operations recorded trainees UK between July 2012 2022. primary outcome autonomy, which defined as performing without supervising trainer scrubbed. Results A total 3,533,223 were included for analysis. Overall, male performed 5% more...
Osseointegrated limb surgery for amputees is becoming increasingly common due to its advantages over traditional socket prostheses. Institutions worldwide are developing services offer this option suitable patients and promoting these online. This study aims assess the quality readability of online information provided. The three most popular search engines using English language were searched, first 40 websites from each included. All included assessed reading Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level...
Background: Osseointegration (OI) limb has been performed for over 30 years and is an example of advance in technology surgical technique which led to improvements patient mobility quality life.An increasing number patients seek information about osseointegration.The aim this study was categorise the most frequently asked questions by using Google search engine accessed websites with highest return on answers.The secondary aims were assess provided those stratify, category, provide best...
A quality-control Internet-based study using recognized quality-scoring systems.To evaluate the quality of information available on Internet.Quality health Internet is much concern and emphasis for appraisal Web sites needed. This to determine if it has improved with surge in usage.The 3 most commonly used search engines were identified a "Discectomy" was performed each. Two reviewers categorized according their types each assessed scoring systems including Journal American Medical...
Aims Hip resurfacing remains a potentially valuable surgical procedure for appropriately-selected patients with optimised implant choices. However, concern regarding high early failure rates continues to undermine confidence in use. A large contributor is adverse local tissue reactions around metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing surfaces. Such phenomena have been well-explored MoM total hip arthroplasties, but comparable data equivalent procedures lacking. In order define genetic predisposition, we...
The purpose of this study was to determine how the Limb Deformity-Modified Scoliosis Research Society (LD-SRS) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire scores differ between patients with femoral version abnormalities healthy control subjects.
Bone defects may be managed with bone transport or acute shortening and lengthening using circular external fixation devices. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study to compare the outcomes between Ilizarov frames hexapod for management of defects.Patients treated either were included analysis in two specialist institutions. Primary time consolidation, healing index (BHI), fixator (EFI). Radiographic parameters medial proximal tibial angle, lateral distal posterior anterior...
