Aims: Nearly 99,000 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) are performed in UK annually. Despite plenty of research, the satisfaction rate of this surgery is around 80%. One of the important intraoperative factors affecting the outcome is alignment.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a common autosomal dominant disorder which is known to have associated skeletal manifestations. There are documented cases of hip dislocation in NF-1, although it is a rare occurrence. Previous cases have been associated with intra-articular neurofibromas, acetabular protrusio and femoral deformities such as coxa valga and in one case increased femoral offset.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of 28 patients who underwent intramedullary nailing for displaced proximal humeral fractures.

Methods: 24 women and 4 men aged 38 to 87 (mean, 65) years underwent intramedullary nailing for displaced proximal humeral fractures. 17 (61%) of them were aged >70 years.

We describe the long term clinical results and polythene wear rate measurement of 144 uncemented total hip arthroplasties in 118 patients (Male: Female-65: 53, Mean age: 52.8 years (range 21-78 years) performed between 1988 and 2000 using the Furlong HAC coated threaded acetabular cup. The mean follow-up for the group was 10.

Background: Fifty thousand knee replacements are performed annually in the UK at an estimated cost of pound 150 million. Post-operative improvement depends on a number of factors including implant design and patient associated factors. To our knowledge there are no published study's comparing the results of AP glide and rotating platform designs of LCS knee arthroplasty.

Background: Various studies have reported good long-term results using femoral stems with either smooth or rough surfaces. In this retrospective cross-sectional survivorship study, we reviewed the 10-year results of 51 bilateral staged cemented total hip arthroplasties using the Harvard or the Charnley femoral stems-which have almost similar geometry but a different surface finish.

Methods: 51 patients were reviewed at median interval of 10 (Harvard group) and 11 years (Charnley group) after the primary operation.

This study is aimed at evaluating the short-term effects of a single corticosteroid injection of the acromioclavicular joint on the range of motion of the shoulder joint using a three dimensional electromagnetic tracking system (FASTRAK) in patients with isolated unilateral acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) arthropathy. Eighteen patients (16 male, 2 female; mean age: 47.53 years), with isolated unilateral ACJ arthropathy were included in the study.

Background: Several cementing techniques are used for the proximal femur.

Material And Methods: We evaluated 3 femoral cement pressurization techniques (standard, pressurizer in situ, and thumb pressurization) in 12 plastic femurs, with 4 sets of observations for each technique. Intramedullary pressure readings were obtained using proximal and distal pressure monitoring transducers.

Study Design: A morphometric study of lumbar vertebral pedicular parameters in cadavers and comparison with previous studies in the literature was conducted.

Objectives: To suggest dimensions for pedicular implants in the Indian population, and to improve the pedicular screw placement technique.

Summary Of Background Data: Detailed knowledge of pedicle morphometry is critical for proper placement of a transpedicular screw.
