Introduction: Triceps tendon avulsion is a rare tendinous injury that can be easily overlooked. If left untreated, such injuries can lead to a weakening of a patient's elbow extension and thereby cause significant disability; therefore, early identification and appropriate surgical intervention are important.
Case Report: We report bilateral triceps tendon avulsion injuries in a 49-year-old, right-hand dominant airline pilot.
Background: Bony metastasis distal to the knee is rare and often reported alongside metastasis distal to the elbow. We sought to provide empirical evidence of the epidemiology, presentation, and prognosis of lower limb acrometastasis, alongside investigation of the distribution of metastases present while lower limb acrometastases form.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified 44 radiologically confirmed cases of lower limb acrometastasis from a single region.
Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate the reproducibility, reliability, and accuracy of Mirels' score in upper limb bony metastatic disease and validate its use in predicting pathologic fractures.
Methods: Forty-five patients with upper limb bony metastases met the inclusion criteria (62% male 28/45). The mean age was 69 years (SD 9.
Objectives: Identify the proportion of patients attending fracture clinics who had suffered intimate partner violence (IPV) within the past year.
Design: Powered cross-sectional study using validated participant self-reported questionnaires.
Setting And Participants: Adult trauma patients (no gender/age exclusions) attending one of three Scottish adult fracture clinics over 16-month period (from October 2016 to January 2018).
Introduction: The COVID-19 lockdown resulted in decreased vehicle use and an increased uptake in cycling. This study investigated the trends in cycling-related injuries requiring orthopaedic intervention during the COVID-19 lockdown period compared with similar time periods in 2018 and 2019.
Methods: Data were collected prospectively for patients in 2020 and collected retrospectively for 2019 and 2018, from hospitals within four NHS Scotland Health Boards encompassing three major trauma centres.
Shoulder replacement is indicated in the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis. Few studies have objectively assessed range of motion (RoM) gains at different post-operative time points. This is a prospective 3D motion analysis study to objectively quantify RoM changes at multiple time points following shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty (SRA) for primary gleno-humeral osteoarthritis, comparing it with clinically measured RoM.

Methods: Data for all musculoskeletal trauma requiring operative treatment were collected prospectively from five key orthopaedic units across Scotland during lockdown (23 March 2020 to 28 May 2020).
Aims: The early mortality in patients with hip fractures from bony metastases is unknown. The objectives of this study were to quantify 30- and 90-day mortality in patients with proximal femoral metastases, and to create a mortality prediction tool based on biomarkers associated with early death.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients referred to the orthopaedic department at a UK trauma centre with a proximal femoral metastasis (PFM) over a seven-year period (2010 to 2016).
NCS are often routinely performed for CTS despite recommendations from the BOA, BSSH and NICE that they are associated with increased costs and prolonged waiting times. This prospective study aimed to assess if the Kamath and Stothard clinical questionnaire could accurately predict nerve conduction study (NCS) results when diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Eighty-eight patients referred with signs and symptoms of CTS from September 2016 to February 2017 were included.

The use of uncemented implants has increased, despite their outcomes not having been proven to be significantly better than cemented implants in this registry. We determined the implant survivorship and functional outcomes of cemented THR in patients under 55 years at a minimum follow-up of 22 years.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Numbness around the surgical scar can be a source of discomfort or dissatisfaction in a proportion of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Literature reports wide variation in its prevalence and the consequence of numbness on the outcome of TKA is not clear. We investigated the prevalence of numbness, along with contributing factors, and assessed its effect on the functional outcome of TKA.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Given the degree of variation in clavicular morphology, 4 clavicle plating systems were examined for their congruity as superior, midshaft, anatomic clavicle (SMAC) plates in a cadaveric study.
Methods: SMAC plates from 4 manufacturers were applied to 79 dry right human clavicles. Two systems offered multiple (4) variations of plates (MP), 1 offered two variations (TP), and 1 had a single plate (SP).
