Mid inter-epicondyle trochlea intersection (MIELTI): Proposal of a new index for identifying the deepest part of the trochlea (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Tibial tuberosity trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) is an important radiological measurement in patellofemoral instability (PFI). Where instability is recurrent, a value ≥ 20 mm is considered an indication for tubercle medialisation. Troc...

Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty (2019)
Journal Article

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.
