Between 1971 and 1974, 352 low-friction hip arthroplasties were performed on 296 patients using the precise Charnley technique. One hundred seventy hips in 145 patients were followed either for ten years or to the point at which revision of the total hip arthroplasty was made necessary by infection, aseptic loosening, chronic dislocation, or similar complications. The results of this evaluation revealed an overall revision rate to the ten-year level of 8.8% in 171 hips and an infection rate of 1.4% for all 352 cases. Both clinical and radiologic assessments encourage further use of this technique.

University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Background: Scotland has one of the highest rates of obesity in the developed world which increases risk of lower limb osteoarthritis resulting in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This paper aimed to investigate (1) current practice of orthopaedic consultants in Scotland in managing end-stage hip and knee osteoarthritis in obese patients, (2) adherence to National guidelines, and (3) understanding of complication risks in lower limb TJA for BMI≥40.
Methods: A 15-question online survey was sent to all active members of Scottish Committee for Orthopaedics and Trauma (SCOT) between February and March 2023 to understand the current practices for managing obese patients with lower limb arthritis requiring joint replacement surgery.

•The success of cementless fixation in TJA depends on a multitude of factors including biological, mechanical, implant, surgical, and material properties.•Biologic fixation has become the primary mode of fixation for the majority of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries done today in the United States (US) due to its low complication rate and superior longevity compared to cemented fixation.•Cementless fixation has yet to gain wider acceptance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and hip hemiarthroplasty due to several factors including host bone quality, implant design, and surgical technique.

Background: Coexisting symptoms can confound outcomes after arthroscopic correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Symptom burden (SB) represents the cumulative load of patient-reported symptoms.
Purpose: To quantify the prevalence of symptoms in athletes before and after arthroscopic correction of FAI and evaluate the impact of independent and cumulative SB resolution on outcomes.
