Abstract This article provides an overview of the set up for an arthroplasty care practitioner (ACP)-led virtual orthopaedic clinic (VOC). Suitable patients attend a local hospital for an X-ray and complete a questionnaire, but do not physically att...

Mid inter-epicondyle trochlea intersection (MIELTI): Proposal of a new index for identifying the deepest part of the trochlea (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, L., Keehan, R., Gill, A., Ahmad, R., & Eldridge, J. (2019). Mid inter-epicondyle trochlea intersection (MIELTI): Proposal of a new index for identifying the deepest part of the trochlea. Knee, 26(6), 1204-1209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2019.10.011

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...

Hip arthroplasty surveillance: Is it really needed? (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, L., Powell, J., Dures, E., Palmer, S., Lenguerrand, E., Beswick, A., & Blom, A. (2019). Hip arthroplasty surveillance: Is it really needed?

Abstract for BOA 2019 Although long-term follow up of joint replacement is advocated, in a national audit of 42 orthopaedic units, only 43% were continuing follow up beyond 5 years. Four studies were conducted using mixed methods research to address... Read More about Hip arthroplasty surveillance: Is it really needed?.

Is radial slab better than a dorsal slab in maintaining initial reduction in distal radius fractures? (2019)
Journal Article
Butt, U., Hussain, S., Ahmad, R., George, A., & Smith, L. (2019). Is radial slab better than a dorsal slab in maintaining initial reduction in distal radius fractures?. Journal of Orthoplastic Surgery, 3(1), 69-73

Background: Displaced extra-articular fractures with dorsal comminution of distal radius are initially immobilised in a radial or a dorsal plaster slab after manipulation. The theoretical advantage of the radial slab is that it allows three point mou...

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.

BMJ Open, 9, Article e031351. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2019-031351

Introduction Hip and knee arthroplasties have revolutionised the management of degenerative joint diseases and, due to an ageing population, are becoming increasingly common. Follow-up of joint prostheses is to identify problems in symptomatic or as...
