Article Synopsis
- The audit aimed to assess and improve the completeness and accuracy of the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset specifically for elbow arthroplasty surgeries.
- In a two-phase approach, Phase 1 compared NJR data with NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), identifying thousands of unmatched and inaccurate records, particularly for radial head arthroplasties (RHAs).
- Phase 2 involved collaboration among 142 NHS hospitals to correct and update records, resulting in an improved completeness of the NJR dataset from 63% to 93% and accuracy from 94% to 98%.
Background: Anterior shoulder instability in adults aged ≥40 years is frequently managed nonoperatively. There is limited published evidence for the surgical management of these patients. This study aims to assess the risk of recurrence and functional outcomes in older adults after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ARB).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: The primary aim of this study was to report the radiological outcomes of patients with a dorsally displaced distal radius fracture who were randomized to a moulded cast or surgical fixation with wires following manipulation and closed reduction of their fracture. The secondary aim was to correlate radiological outcomes with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the year following injury.
Methods: Participants were recruited as part of DRAFFT2, a UK multicentre clinical trial.
Background: Elbow trochlea osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is rare with limited information on it. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the published evidence on trochlea OCD in terms of presenting symptoms, location of OCD and outcome of management in adolescent patients.
Patient & Methods: A review of the online databases MEDLINE and Embase was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.
Introduction: The use of arthroscopy to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis has been questioned by recent high quality evidence. This has led to the development of guidelines by specialist and national bodies advocating against its use.
Aims: To examine the trends of the rates of arthroscopy in patients with knee osteoarthritis over the past five years and determining compliance with guidelines.
Aims: There are reports of a marked increase in perioperative mortality in patients admitted to hospital with a fractured hip during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, USA, Spain, and Italy. Our study aims to describe the risk of mortality among patients with a fractured neck of femur in England during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: We completed a multicentre cohort study across ten hospitals in England.
