Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, L. K., Dures, E., & Beswick, A. (2019). Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty. Orthopedic Research and Reviews, 11, 69-78. https://doi.org/10.2147/ORR.S199183

Objectives Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is highly successful but national registries indicate that average age has lowered and that younger patients are at higher risk of revision. Long-term follow-up of THA was historically recommended to identify... Read More about Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty.

Unicompartmental knee replacement in a district general hospital (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, L. K., Wong, J., Cowie, S., Radford, M., Price, M., & Langkamer, V. (2015). Unicompartmental knee replacement in a district general hospital

Abstract Unicompartmental knee replacement has been associated with a higher revision rate than total knee replacement in all national joint registers. It has been suggested that the appropriate training of surgeons to perform this arthroplasty is... Read More about Unicompartmental knee replacement in a district general hospital.

Empirical support for radiographic review: A follow-up study of total hip arthroplasty (2013)
Journal Article
Spencer, R. F., Cramp, F., Smith, L. K., Smith, L. K., Cramp, F. (., Palmer, S., …Spencer, R. (2013). Empirical support for radiographic review: A follow-up study of total hip arthroplasty. Hip International, 23(1), 80-86. https://doi.org/10.5301/HIP.2012.9912

Routine post surgery surveillance of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely recommended to identify asymptomatic failure but inclusion of an x-ray adds to service costs. Evidence is needed to support orthopaedic opinion in order to identify what shou... Read More about Empirical support for radiographic review: A follow-up study of total hip arthroplasty.
