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...

Background: Pulvertaft Weave (PTW) is an established method of tenorrhapy in tendon transfers. Previous studies have suggested that a Side-to-Side (STS) tenorrhapy is easier to perform has the same advantages and has greater load to failure, ultimate...

Introduction
40?mm large diameter heads offer the advantages of lesser dislocation rates and better stability while highly cross linked polyethylene have lower wear rates than ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Studies of the survivorship of... Read More about Low failure rate at short term for 40?mm heads and second generation triple annealed HCLPE liners in hybrid Hip Replacements.

Surgical treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip- a single surgeon series of 47 hips with a 7 year mean follow up). (2016)
Journal Article

The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children remains controversial. We describe the clinical and radiological outcomes of  47 hips in 43 children treated with open surgery by one surgeon between 2004 and 2008 for DDH. The mea...
