Do digital interventions increase adherence to home exercise rehabilitation? A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (2022)
Journal Article
Lang, S., McLelland, C., MacDonald, D., & Hamilton, D. F. (2022). Do digital interventions increase adherence to home exercise rehabilitation? A systematic review of randomised controlled trials. Archives of Physiotherapy, 12(1), Article 24. https://doi.o

Background: Home exercise regimes are a well-utilised rehabilitation intervention for many conditions; however, adherence to prescribed programmes remains low. Digital interventions are recommended as an adjunct to face-to-face interventions by the N... Read More about Do digital interventions increase adherence to home exercise rehabilitation?

Notchplasty is associated with decreased risk of anterior cruciate ligament graft revision (2022)
Journal Article
Thompson, R., Hamilton, D., Murray, I., & Lawson, G. (2023). Notchplasty is associated with decreased risk of anterior cruciate ligament graft revision. European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, 33, 1533–1539. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00

Purpose Despite influencing knee biomechanics and outcomes, the use of notchplasty at time of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has not been evaluated with regards to risk of secondary injury and revision. This study evaluates this as... Read More about Notchplasty is associated with decreased risk of anterior cruciate ligament graft revision.

Functional outcomes and return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recreational athletes: A systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Brzeszczynski, F., Turnbull, K., McClelland, C., MacDonald, D., Lawson, G., & Hamilton, D. (2022). Functional outcomes and return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recreational athletes: A systematic review. The Knee, 36, 103

Introduction Outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are well reported in athletic populations, however surprisingly little information is available for the recreational athletes that make up the majority of cases. The aim was t... Read More about Functional outcomes and return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recreational athletes: A systematic review.

Pre- and intraoperative decision-making challenges in hip arthroscopy for femeroacetabular impingement (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, H., Robinson, P., Maempel, J., Hamilton, D., Gaston, P., Safran, M., & Murray, I. (2022). Pre- and intraoperative decision-making challenges in hip arthroscopy for femeroacetabular impingement. Bone and Joint Journal, 104-B(5), https://doi.org/10.

There has been a marked increase in the number of hip arthroscopies performed over the past 16 years, primarily in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Insights into the pathoanatomy of FAI, and high-level evidence supporting the cli...

The effect of sarcopenia on outcomes following orthopaedic surgery: a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Brzeszczynski, F., Brzeszczynska, J., Duckworth, A. D., Murray, I. R., Simpson, A. H. R. W., & Hamilton, D. F. (2022). The effect of sarcopenia on outcomes following orthopaedic surgery: a systematic review. Bone and Joint Journal, 104-B(3), 321-330. http

Aims Sarcopenia is characterized by a generalized progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. This systematic review primarily evaluated the effects of sarcopenia on postoperative functional recovery and mortality i...

A Cost-Utility Analysis of Robotic Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty: Using Robotic Data from the Private Sector and Manual Data from the National Health Service (2022)
Journal Article
Clement, N. D., Gaston, P., Hamilton, D. F., Bell, A., Simpson, P., Macpherson, G. J., & Patton, J. T. (2022). A Cost-Utility Analysis of Robotic Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty: Using Robotic Data from the Private Sector and Manual Data from the Nati

Purpose. The aim was to assess the cost-effectiveness of robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) compared with manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA) and to assess the influence of annual volume on the relative cost-effectiveness of rTHA. Me... Read More about A Cost-Utility Analysis of Robotic Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty: Using Robotic Data from the Private Sector and Manual Data from the National Health Service.

Preoperative morbidity and joint awareness while awaiting hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (2021)
Journal Article
Robinson, P., Williamson, T., Maempel, J., Murray, I., MacDonald, D., Hamilton, D., & Gaston, P. (2021). Preoperative morbidity and joint awareness while awaiting hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 8, A

Purpose The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) is a valid tool in the evaluation of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, assessing the unique concept of joint awareness in the setting of a patient’s hip pathology. The preoperative burden on patients’ me... Read More about Preoperative morbidity and joint awareness while awaiting hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

Do the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement change over time? (2021)
Journal Article
Robinson, P., Liu, H., Wilkinson, T., Maempel, J., Murray, I., MacDonald, D., …Gaston, P. (2022). Do the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement change over time?. Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and Research, 108(4), Article

Background: The purpose of this study was to search for changes in functional outcomes of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) between short and medium-term follow-up. Secondary aims included reporting rates of r... Read More about Do the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement change over time?.
