We have investigated whether improvements in design have altered the outcome for patients undergoing endoprosthetic
We report a series of 640 consecutive cervical hip fractures which were followed prospectively for two years after primary internal fixation with two hook-pins. Secondary

Between 1976 and 2004, 38 revision arthroplasties (35 patients) were performed for aseptic loosening of the humeral component. The mean interval from primary
We studied the bone mineral density (BMD) and
the bone mineral content (BMC) of the proximal tibia in patients with
a well-functioning uncemented Oxford medial compartment arthroplasty
using the Lunar iDXA bone densitometer. Our hypothesis was that
there would be decreased BMD and BMC adjacent to the tibial base
plate and increased BMD and BMC at the tip of the keel. There were 79 consecutive patients (33 men, 46 women) with a
mean age of 65 years (44 to 84) with a minimum two-year follow-up
(mean 2.6 years (2.0 to 5.0)) after unilateral
A series of 81 patients has been reviewed to determine the value of endoprosthetic

We have studied damage to the tibial articular surface after
We evaluated the potential of a vastus lateralis muscle flap in controlling infection after resection
We used Laser Doppler flowmetry to measure the effect on the blood flow to the femoral head/neck junction of two surgical approaches during resurfacing
Our aim was to examine the potential of autologous perichondral tissue to form a meniscal

Advanced osteoarthritis of the wrist or the distal articulation of the lunate with the capitate has traditionally been treated surgically by arthrodesis. In order to maintain movement, we performed proximal row carpectomy with capsular interposition
