Living history in current orthopaedic hip surgery: intrapelvic teflon granuloma after total hip replacement.

The teflon hip arthroplasty design was used by Sir John Charnley in the early 60's but was taken off the market due to high complication rates. A case is reported of an intrapelvic granuloma after total hip arthroplasty following the use of a teflon socket. This appears to be the last surviving patient treated by Sir John Charnley using a Teflon hip socket design.

Women in Charnley class C fail to improve in mobility to a higher degree after total hip replacement

BACKGROUND The Charnley comorbidity classification organizes patients into 3 classes: (A) 1 hip involved, (B) 2 hips involved, and (C) other severe comorbidities. Although this simple classification is a known predictor of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after total hip replacement (THR), interactions between Charnley class, sex, and age have not been investigated and there is uncertaint...

Compression Arthrodesis

THIS book is, in some ways, reminiscent of some of the volumes of war stories published recently. That John Charnley is one of the most original and ingenious thinkers in any branch of surgery to-day is well recognised, but his ability as a fighter for his own ideals is the outstandinig characteristic of this book. He has enlisted as his Herminius, in mechanics, Professor Matheson, and Professo...

Cement migration after THR. A comparison of charnley elite and exeter femoral stems using RSA.

Studies using roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) have shown that the femoral components of cemented total hip replacements (THR) migrate distally relative to the bone, but it is not clear whether this occurs at the cement-implant or the cement-bone interface or within the cement mantle. Our aim was to determine where this migration occurred, since this has important implications for ...
