"All change ...".

1948: 1972: 1994. Will these dates be remembered by future social historians as important points of change in the progress of health care organization in the United Kingdom? Perhaps some future student of the economics of health promotion, or death prevention, or whatever it may be called, will consult the Ulster Medical Journal to see what contemporary Ulster doctors were thinking on these top...

INTRODUCTION Forward fall-related distal radius fractures account for approximately 20% of all fractures and continue to be the most commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons [1]. Regardless, our understanding of how these injuries result from dynamic, three dimensional impacts is limited. Duma et al. in 2002 [2] presented an injury risk criteria model for these fractures that included peak axial f...

Introduction: Experimental wear testing is well-established as an important part of the TKR design process. Recently, in-silico models have proved their value to corroborate long-term in-vitro results on a much shorter timescale [1]. Both FE-based models & multi-body dynamics can be used to predict contact pressures, sliding distances and cross-shear (CS). The precise mechanisms of wear are not...

One-stage exchange: it all began here.

Based on the first implementation of mixing antibiotics into bone cement in the 1970s, the Endo-Klinik has used one stage exchange for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in over 85% of cases. Looking carefully at current literature and guidelines for PJI treatment, there is no clear evidence that a two stage procedure has a higher success rate than a one-stage approach. A cemented one-stage excha...
