Malnutrition is prevalent in patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Malnutrition has been shown to be an independent risk factor for multiple postsurgical complications following TJA in addition to increasing postoperative mortality. In the current healthcare environment, it is important to recognize and correct modifiable risk factors preoperatively to minimize perioperat...

Hemophilia is hereditary x-chromosomal recessive disorders. Hemophilia A is caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factor VIII and hemophilia B is caused by that of coagu‐ lation factor IX. The prevalence is reported as one in 5000 in the male population and one in 10000 overall. These diseases are classified into three categories according to serum coagula‐ tion factor activity; severe...

OBJECTIVE Low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth have been associated with adverse adult outcomes, including hypertension, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and reduced bone mass. It is unknown whether LBW and preterm birth affect the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to examine whether LBW and preterm birth were associated with the incidence of knee and hip arthroplasty ...

The first attempt of treating patients affected by knee osteoarthritis with arthroplasty go back up to the mid-nineteenth century with the use of either a soft tissue interposed within the joint surface or resection of a different amount of bone of both distal femur and proximal tibia. However the concept on which total joint replacement is based can be traced only after the 1880 in Berlin with...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological results of semiconstrained Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty for distal humeral nonunions in the mid-term period. METHODS Seven patients were treated with Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty for distal humeral nonunion. All patients were female, and the mean age was 65.6 years (range: 64-68 years). P...

BACKGROUND Thirty thousand knee replacements are performed annually in the UK. There is uncertainty as to the best surgical approach to the knee joint for knee arthroplasty. We planned a randomised controlled trial to compare a standard medial parapatellar arthrotomy with sub-vastus arthrotomy for patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty in terms of short and long term knee function....

Introduction Recent projections have forecast that by the year 2030 the number of primary total knee arthroplasty procedures will increase to 3.48 million, an increase of 673% compared with 2005, and the number of primary total hip arthroplasties will increase by 174% to 572,000, with the expectant result being that over 4 million primary total joint arthroplasties will be performed in the Unit...

Despite documented benefits, many Total Joint Replacement (TJR) patients find it difficult to access rehabilitation following discharge from hospital. One solution to improve access for TJR patients is telerehabilitation. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of introducing a telerehabilitation program for TJR patients. TJR patients at QEII Jubilee Hospital were invited to complete a quest...
