John Edwin Scarff (1898-1978) was one of the pioneers of neuroendoscopy and the head of the Department of Neurological Surgery at Columbia University in New York from 1947 to 1949. In this article, we highlight the pioneering and longstanding efforts of John E. Scarff in support of endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation. These efforts represent an important part of the rich history of neuroendoscopy and a legacy to which the current procedure owes a great credit.

Department of Orthopaedics, Basildon University Hospital, Basildon, GBR.
Purpose: Correction of severe coronal plane deformities while performing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is challenging. The use of functional alignment (FA) strategy along with image-based robotic technology during TKA makes it possible to restore a patient's constitutional alignment with minimal or no soft tissue release. The present study aims to report the functional outcomes of robotic-assisted TKA in Indian patients with severe varus deformity.

Aims: Prior to the availability of vaccines, mortality for hip fracture patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection was three times higher than pre-pandemic rates. The primary aim of this study was to determine the 30-day mortality rate of hip fracture patients in the post-vaccine era.
Methods: A multicentre observational study was carried out at 19 NHS Trusts in England.

Introduction: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2011 declared standards in the management of fracture neck of femur (NOF) patients suggesting a total hip replacement (THR) if necessary criteria were met. The Best Practice Tariff (BPT) states all NOF fracture patients should be operated on within 36 h of presentation to Accident & Emergency. We conducted this retrospective study for the years 2016-2018 to evaluate the adherence to these guidelines by Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital and compared the results with national standards.

Assess the outcome of a standardised protocol for the treatment of post-operative wound infection in patients undergoing deformity correction for neuro-muscular scoliosis (NMS). Retrospective review of 443 consecutive patients with a minimum 18 months' follow-up, following a primary posterior deformity correction for NMS. In patients who developed a wound complication, the patient demographic and comorbidities, causative pathogen, number of re-operations, length of stay (LOS), rate of cure, and complications were analysed.
