Total knee arthroplasty using a cemented single-radius, condylar-stabilized design performed without posterior cruciate ligament sacrifice.

Aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a highly congruent condylar-stabilized (CS) articulation may be advantageous due to increased stability versus cruciate-retaining (CR) designs, while mitigating the limitations of a posterior-stabilized construct. The aim was to assess ten-year implant survival and functional outcomes of a cemented single-radius TKA with a CS insert, performed without posterior cruciate ligament sacrifice.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing TKA at a specialist centre in the UK between November 2010 and December 2012.

Threatened Periviable Delivery and Abortion: Clinical Considerations.

Periviable delivery, or a pregnancy at risk of delivery between 20 0/7 and 25 6/7 weeks gestational, is an uncommon event with profound physical, psychological, and financial impact. Neonatal outcomes can be hard to predict and with the changing legal landscape around abortion access, management options may be compromised. Dynamic maternal and fetal factors make a cohesive and supportive care team critical for optimal care.

Long-term Outcomes of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Modular Fluted Conical Femoral Stem.

Background: This study presents minimum 6-year follow-up data on the survival and satisfaction of an uncemented modular revision femoral system, following on from our previously published earlier results.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all revision hip arthroplasties performed at our institution between January 2005 and October 2012, using a single modular femoral revision system. Patient-reported outcomes were collected (satisfaction score and Oxford Hip Score).

Can Arthroplasty Stem Influence Outcome: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Stem Length in Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: The primary aim was to assess whether a short (125 millimeter (mm)) stem offered an equivalent hip-specific function compared to the standard (150 mm) stem when used for cemented total hip arthroplasty. Secondary aims were to evaluate health-related quality of life, patient satisfaction, stem height and alignment, as well as radiographic loosenings and complications between the two stems.

Methods: A prospective twin-center double-blind randomized control trial was conducted.

Resuming elective orthopaedic services during the COVID-19 pandemic : our experience.

Aims: The aim of this study was to surveil whether the standard operating procedure created for the NHS Golden Jubilee sufficiently managed COVID-19 risk to allow safe resumption of elective orthopaedic surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective study of all elective orthopaedic patients within an elective unit running a green pathway at a COVID-19 light site. Rates of preoperative and 30-day postoperative COVID-19 symptoms or infection were examined for a period of 40 weeks.
