Assessment of the effectiveness of weight-adjusted antibiotic administration, for reduced duration, in surgical prophylaxis of primary hip and knee arthroplasty. (2024)
Journal Article

Prophylactic antibiotics have significantly led to a reduction in the risk of post-operative surgical site infections (SSI) in orthopaedic surgery. The aim of using antibiotics for this purpose is to achieve serum and tissue drug levels that exceed,...

Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Treatment decisions for cartilage defects are often based on lesion size. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to diagnose cartilage defects noninvasively; however, their size estimated from MRI may differ from defect sizes me...

Mid-term outcome of superior capsular reconstruction using doubled acellular human dermal allograft for irreparable rotator cuff tear (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose Thicker (folded) facia lata autografts have been shown to be superior to thinner grafts and single-layered acellular human dermal (HD) allografts for superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in biomechanical studies. The aim of this study was... Read More about Mid-term outcome of superior capsular reconstruction using doubled acellular human dermal allograft for irreparable rotator cuff tear.

MEASURING OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE NOCICEPTION USING PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MOVEMENT RESPONSES AND A DEFINED THERMAL STIMULUS: A PROOF OF CONCEPT STUDY (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Mechanical loading of joints with osteoarthritis (OA) results in pain-related functional impairment, altered joint mechanics and physiological nociceptor interactions leading to an experience of pain. However, the current tools to measure this are la...

Functional outcomes after Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction show inverted J-shaped relation with Body Mass Index (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) is a recognised surgical procedure for the treatment of recurrent patellofemoral instability with excellent outcomes reported. The aim of this study is to determine if body mass index ca... Read More about Functional outcomes after Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction show inverted J-shaped relation with Body Mass Index.

A pilot randomised controlled trial assessing standard versus dermal patch-augmented rotator cuff repair found no adverse effects and suggest future trials need a minimum of 150 patients (2023)
Journal Article

The aims of this pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) were to assess the safety and efficacy of a human dermal allograft patch and assess the feasibility of a future RCT comparing retear rate and functional outcome 12 months following standard and... Read More about A pilot randomised controlled trial assessing standard versus dermal patch-augmented rotator cuff repair found no adverse effects and suggest future trials need a minimum of 150 patients.

Relationship Between Activity Level and Knee Function Is Influenced by Negative Affect in Patients Undergoing Cell Therapy for Articular Cartilage Defects in the Knee. (2023)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Increased activity level is generally reported to be positively related to improved knee function after knee surgery. However, little research has been conducted into this relationship on an individual patient basis, or the influence of d...

Histological and Radiological Assessment of Endogenously Generated Repair Tissue In Vivo Following a Chondral Harvest. (2023)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: To examine repair tissue formed approximately 15 months after a chondral harvest in the human knee. DESIGN: Sixteen individuals (12 males, 4 females, mean age 36 ± 9 years) underwent a chondral harvest in the trochlea as a pre-requisite fo...

Intrathecal morphine in combination with bupivacaine as pre-emptive analgesia in posterior lumbar fusion surgery: a retrospective cohort study (2022)
Journal Article

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intrathecal morphine (ITM) in combination with bupivacaine as pre-emptive analgesia in patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery. This is in comparison with tradi... Read More about Intrathecal morphine in combination with bupivacaine as pre-emptive analgesia in posterior lumbar fusion surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

Evaluating the Feasibility and Reliability of Remotely Delivering and Scoring the North Star Ambulatory Assessment in Ambulant Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: The North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) is a validated 17-item functional rating scale and widely used to assess motor function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and subsequent Government 'lockdown...

Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle Treated with Bone Marrow Concentrate with Hyaluronan and Fibrin: A Single-Centre Study. (2022)
Journal Article

Osteochondral defects of the ankle (OCD) are being increasingly identified as a clinically significant consequence of injury to the ankle, with the potential to lead to osteoarthritis if left untreated. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was... Read More about Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle Treated with Bone Marrow Concentrate with Hyaluronan and Fibrin: A Single-Centre Study..
