Differences in concentration of metal debris in blood, serum, and plasma samples of patients with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (2015)
Journal Article

Background/aims Cobalt and chromium are released from MOM hips and their precise nature (ions/particles) is not known. Their distribution in serum, plasma, and whole blood may help to determine their nature. Methods We measured cobalt and chromi...

Human mesenchymal stem cells stimulate EaHy926 endothelial cell migration: combined proteomic and in vitro analysis of the influence of donor-donor variability (2015)
Journal Article

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stimulate angiogenesis within a wound environment and this effect is mediated through paracrine interactions with the endothelial cells present. Here we report that human MSC-conditioned medium (n=3 donors) significantly...

The cemented twin-peg Oxford partial knee replacement survivorship: a cohort study (2015)
Journal Article

Background A new twin-peg version of the Oxford knee was introduced in 2003. However, until now there has been no information about its survivorship. The aim of this study was to determine the survivorship, and the patients' perception of outcome ov...

ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid as a biomarker of inflammation and effusion (2015)
Journal Article

Objective To evaluate the potential of ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase -1) activity in synovial fluid (SF) as a biomarker of knee injury and joint disease. Design We have measured ADAMTS-4 activity in the synovial fluid of 170 orthopaedic patients with di... Read More about ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid as a biomarker of inflammation and effusion.
