An <span>MRI</span> study demonstrating consistent anatomic relation of central longitudinal artery and associated periosteal vessels with the medial femoral epicondyle and adductor tubercle—A visual landmark method for femoral tunnel placement in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction Open
The two most common techniques to determine femoral tunnel placement during medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction are radiographic and by palpation. Their intra/interobserver reliability is widely debated. Both techniques re…

Selection of patients with malignant melanoma for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) using CT-PET Open
The 2010 guidelines remain broad and contributed to negative PLND in a third of our patients (9/26). Hence, the indications for performing PLND need to be revisited. Our series supports PET-CT as being 100% sensitive in the identification …

Effects of a modified muscle sparing posterior technique in hip hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular fractures on postoperative function compared to a standard lateral approach (HemiSPAIRE): protocol for a randomised controlled trial Open
Introduction Currently National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guidelines in the UK suggest that surgeons performing partial hip replacements (hemiarthroplasty) should consider using the lateral approach. Alternatively, …
