Characterization of soft tissue tumours with ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI (2020)
Journal Article
Cool. (2020). Characterization of soft tissue tumours with ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI. Skeletal Radiology, 49, 869–881. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00256-019-03363-1

OBJECTIVE: To predict accurately whether a soft tissue mass was benign or malignant and to characterize its type using ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI. We hypothesized that with the addition of shear wave elastography, it would be possibl... Read More about Characterization of soft tissue tumours with ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI.

Excised Femoral Heads in Hip Fracture Patients: Is Osteoporosis Worse Than Cancer? (2019)
Journal Article
Salar, O., Crosswell, S., Ghani, R., Rao, P., Meyer, C., Hay, S., Ford, D., Mangham, C., & Cool, P. (2019). Excised Femoral Heads in Hip Fracture Patients: Is Osteoporosis Worse Than Cancer?. Cureus, 11(12), Article e6455. https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.6455

Introduction
Annually 80,000 hip fractures are treated at an estimated cost of two billion pounds. The 2011 guidance from the Royal College of Pathologists recommended all specimens where there is fracture through or below the articular surface shou...

Prediction of pathological fracture in patients with metastatic disease of the lower limb (2019)
Journal Article
Cool. (in press). Prediction of pathological fracture in patients with metastatic disease of the lower limb. Scientific reports, 9, Article 14133. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50636-9

The aim of this study was to investigate if the risk of pathological fracture can be predicted with the proportion of body weight that can be put through the affected leg in patients with metastatic bone disease of the lower limb. A prospective obser... Read More about Prediction of pathological fracture in patients with metastatic disease of the lower limb.

Synovial chondromatosis and soft tissue chondroma: extraosseous cartilaginous tumor defined by FN1 gene rearrangement (2019)
Journal Article
Amary, F., Perez-Casanova, L., Ye, H., Cottone, L., Strobl, A.-C., Cool, P., Miranda, E., Berisha, F., Aston, W., Rocha, M., O'Donnell, P., Pillay, N., Tirabosco, R., Baumhoer, D., Hookway, E. S., & Flanagan, A. M. (2019). Synovial chondromatosis and soft tissue chondroma: extraosseous cartilaginous tumor defined by FN1 gene rearrangement. Modern Pathology, 32(12), 1762-1771. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41379-019-0315-8

A fusion between fibronectin 1 (FN1) and activin receptor 2A (ACVR2A) has been reported previously in isolated cases of the synovial chondromatosis. To analyze further and validate the findings, we performed FISH and demonstrated recurrent FN1–ACVR2A...

Prognostic indicators of outcome for patients with skeletal metastases from carcinoma of the prostate (2018)
Journal Article
Shepherd, K. L., Cool, P., & Cribb, G. (2018). Prognostic indicators of outcome for patients with skeletal metastases from carcinoma of the prostate. The Bone & Joint Journal, 100B(12), 1647-1654. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.100B12.BJJ-2018-0697.R1

Aims
The purpose of this study was to identify prognostic indicators of outcome at presentation to the orthopaedic surgeon, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Our aim was to use this information in a pragmatic, clinic-based approach so tha...

Hemiarthroplasty proximal femoral endoprostheses following tumour reconstruction: is acetabular replacement necessary? (2018)
Journal Article
Stevenson, J. D., Kumar, V. S., Cribb, G. L., & Cool, P. (2018). Hemiarthroplasty proximal femoral endoprostheses following tumour reconstruction: is acetabular replacement necessary?. The Bone & Joint Journal, 100-B(1), 101-108. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620x.100b1.bjj-2017-0005.r1

Aims
Dislocation rates are reportedly lower in patients requiring proximal femoral hemiarthroplasty than for patients undergoing hip arthroplasty for neoplasia. Without acetabular replacement, pain due to acetabular wear necessitating revision surge...
