Introduction and Objective. Medial Knee Osteoarthritis (MKO) is associated with abnormal knee varism, this resulting in altered locomotion and abnormal loading at tibio-femoral condylar contacts. To prevent end-stage MKO, medial compartment decompression is selectively considered and, when required, executed via High
Abstract. Introduction. Anecdotal reports suggest some cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacements (OUKRs) have painful early subsidence of the
Background. Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty has been developed to reduce the incidence of failure secondary to aseptic loosening, osteolysis and stress-induced osteopenia, especially in younger and more active patients. However, failures are still more common compared to cemented components, especially those involving the tibia. It is hypothesized that this is caused by incomplete contact between the
Abstract. Introduction. Surgery in patients with high body mass index (BMI) is more technically challenging and associated with increased complications post-operatively. Inferior clinical and functional mid-term results for high BMI patients undergoing high
Aims. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common and safe orthopaedic procedure. Zimmer Biomet's NexGen is the second most popular brand of implant used in the UK. The primary cause of revision after the first year is aseptic loosening. We present our experience of using this implant, with significant concerns around its performance with regards early aseptic loosening of the

Aims. Ilium is the most common site of pelvic Ewing’s sarcoma (ES). Resection of the ilium and iliosacral joint causes pelvic disruption. However, the outcomes of resection and reconstruction are not well described. In this study, we report patients’ outcomes after resection of the ilium and iliosacral ES and reconstruction with a
Abstract. Objectives. Obesity is prevalent with nearly one third of the world's population being classified as obese. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment option for high BMI patients achieving similar outcomes to non-obese patients. However, increased rates of aseptic loosening in patients with a high BMI have been reported. In patients with high BMI/body mass there is an increase in strain placed on the implant fixation interfaces. As such component fixation is a potential concern when performing TKA in the obese patient. To address this concern the use of extended
