Aims. This study is a prospective, non-randomized trial for the treatment of fractures of the medial malleolus using lean,
Kirschner wires are commonly used in paediatric fractures, however, the requirement for removal and the possibility of pin site infection provides opportunity for the development of new techniques that eliminate these drawbacks.

Aims. Excision of chronic osteomyelitic bone creates a dead space which must be managed to avoid early recurrence of infection. Systemic antibiotics cannot penetrate this space in high concentrations, so local treatment has become an attractive adjunct to surgery. The aim of this study was to present the mid- to long-term results of local treatment with gentamicin in a

Systemic antimicrobials cannot penetrate this space in high concentration so local therapy has become an attractive adjunct to surgery. This study presents the mid- long-term results of local therapy with gentamicin in a

Introduction. The treatment of chronic osteomyelitis involves a debridement of affected non-viable tissue and the use of antibiotics. Where surgery leaves a cavity, dead space management is practised with antibiotic impregnated cement. These depots of local antibiotics are variable in elution properties and need removal. We review the use of
Innominate Osteotomy first described by Salter is one of the commonest procedures performed for treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) in children. We recently described a less invasive technique for Innominate Osteotomy, which significantly reduces the operation time without compromising outcome (J Pediatr Orthop B. 2010 Jul;19(4):318–22). As part of the evolution of this procedure we now routinely use

Aims: Meniscus repair has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of meniscal tears whenever possible. However, problems with healing of the repaired meniscus do exist. We have assessed both clinically and with MRI the outcome of meniscal ruptures treated with

The surgical correction of hammertoe deformity of the lesser toes is one of the most commonly performed forefoot procedures. In general, percutaneous Kirschner wires are used to provide fixation to the resected proximal interphalangeal joint. Although these wires are effective, issues such as pin tract infection as well as difficult postoperative management by patients make alternative fixation methods desirable. The biomechanical studies suggested that the
Two fixation devices for rotator cuff repair were compared in a sheep model. Surgical transection of the supra-spinatus tendon insertion was repaired using metallic OBL suture anchors or Suretac II anchors. Twelve weeks postoperatively the repair site was assessed using histology, polarized light microscopy and biomechanical testing. No important differences were found between these two repair methods. The purpose of this study was to compare traditional rotator cuff fixation devices with
Purpose: Arthroscopic stabilization for post-traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability is designed to minimize soft tissue dissection while achieving similar or improved outcomes relative to open techniques. This study’s purpose was to determine the rate of post-operative recurrent instability and evaluate health related quality of life (HRQL) and shoulder range of motion (ROM) following arthroscopic Bankart repair using a
