Purpose: The main aim of our study is to report the medium-term survivorship of Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) cup and a large modular metal head (MMT) on an uncemented Freeman femoral stem. No results have been reported till date with these implants combinations.
Methods: A total of 205 metal-on-metal total hip replacements (MoM THRs) were performed on 190 patients from October 2002 to November 2004. Prior to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) guidelines, the patients were followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively and annually thereafter. Following the MHRA alert in 2010, the patients were followed-up as per the MHRA guidelines.All statistical analyses were conducted using Stata 13.
Results: At a mean follow-up of 10.5 years, a total of 42 out of 205 hips were revised for reasons related to ALTR. The failure rates increased significantly over time (7% at 6 years and 29% at 10-year follow-up). The analysis showed no statistically significant association to age, gender, side, BMI or component size or position (p<0.05). Blood metal ions showed a poor discriminant ability to separate failed from well-functioning MoM hip replacements.
Conclusions: Large head MoM BHR on an uncemented stem has extremely high failure rate. The authors do not recommend the use of large head MoM articulation in total hip arthroplasty in the wake of this report and similar findings across the world. Continued surveillance of these implants is required as the failure rates increase with time.

Background: Precise and accurate glenoid preparation is important for the success of shoulder arthroplasty. Despite advancements in preoperative planning software and enabling technologies, most surgeons execute the procedure manually. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) facilitates accurate glenoid guide pin placement for cannulated reaming; however, few commercially available systems offer depth of reaming control.

Background: The risk of early revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for polyethylene wear is now low, but there remains a need to perform wear measurements in patients for clinical surveillance. The gold standard of wear measurements has been radiostereometric analysis (RSA), which has limited availability. The use of computed tomography (CT) to perform THA wear measurement was described a decade ago and found to have acceptable accuracy and precision, but high radiation dose was a concern.

Introduction: Knee alignment significantly impacts the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Understanding patient perceptions of their knee alignment in relation to objective measurements is essential to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and to meet patients' expectations. This study reports patients' perception of pre- and postoperative knee alignment in relation to radiographic alignment measurements.

Purpose: The adoption of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly widespread, yet its influence on outcomes in outpatient surgery remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether robotic assistance reduces the rate of 90-day postoperative events in patients undergoing outpatient THA, compared to those in inpatient procedures.
Methods: This historical-prospective cohort study analyzed 706 primary THA cases performed between January 2017 and January 2023 by three senior surgeons.

Background: Intraoperative hip capsule management is increasingly recognized as an important component of hip arthroscopy for the prevention of capsular-related instability. The periportal capsulotomy, relative to the interportal capsulotomy, has been proposed as a minimally invasive technique for decreasing postarthroscopy hip instability; however, the biomechanical effects of this technique are not well established.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to provide a biomechanical characterization of interportal and periportal capsulotomies, helping inform surgeon choice of capsulotomy type and repair, potentially guiding clinical practice in hip arthroscopy.
