Long-Term Results of Alumina Ceramic-On-Ceramic Bearings in Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 20-Year Minimum Follow-Up.

Background: Alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearings are used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of their wear-resistant and inert properties. In this study, we assessed the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients undergoing primary cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA at a minimum follow-up of 20 years.

Methods: A series of 301 consecutive primary THAs in 283 patients were assessed.

How we adapted the T&O inpatient service during the COVID-19 pandemic with physician associates to support the orthopaedic team.

Introduction: In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increasing demands on medical and intensive care departments in the UK. Medical staff from surgical departments were redeployed. The aim of this study was to determine whether the department was able to maintain standards with the use of the physician associate / medical doctor (PA/MD) model of care.

Medium-term results of arthroscopic debridement and capsulectomy for the treatment of elbow osteoarthritis.

Background: We retrospectively reviewed 20 patients (21 elbows) after arthroscopic debridement and capsulectomy of the elbow for primary osteoarthritis. We aimed to see if there was an improvement in pain, function, and range of movement in the medium-term.

Materials And Methods: Outcomes of 20 patients (18 men, 2 women) with primary osteoarthritis of the elbow (21 elbows) operated on by the senior surgeon were reviewed at a mean of 5.

A comparison of Harris and Oxford hip scores for assessing outcome after resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip: can the patient tell us everything we need to know.

We have compared the Harris hip score with the Oxford hip score in a population of 358 patients (213 men and 145 women) aged between 19 to 74 years (median 55 years), after resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip (between September 1995 and October 2006) with a median follow-up of 6 years. The Oxford hip score was related to the age of the patient (Mann-Whitney test; p = 0.015), the hip lifetime (p = 0.
