Is patient reporting of physical function accurate following total knee replacement? (2012)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Gaston, P., & Simpson, A. H. R. W. (2012). Is patient reporting of physical function accurate following total knee replacement?. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, British Volume, 94-B(11), 1506-1510. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620x.94b11.30081

The aim of this study was to determine the association between the Oxford knee score (OKS) and direct assessment of outcome, and to examine how this relationship varied at different time-points following total knee replacement (TKR). Prospective data... Read More about Is patient reporting of physical function accurate following total knee replacement?.

Comparative outcomes of total hip and knee arthroplasty: a prospective cohort study (2012)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D., Henderson, G. R., Gaston, P., MacDonald, D., Howie, C., & Simpson, A. H. R. W. (2012). Comparative outcomes of total hip and knee arthroplasty: a prospective cohort study. Postgraduate Medical Journal, 88(1045), 627-631. https://doi.org/10.1136/postgradmedj-2011-130715

Purpose The comparative outcome of primary hip and knee arthroplasty is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the outcome and satisfaction of these procedures and determine predictive models for 1 year patient outcome with a view to...

Variation in physical development in schoolboy rugby players: can maturity testing reduce mismatch? (2012)
Journal Article
Nutton, R. W., Hamilton, D. F., Hutchison, J. D., Mitchell, M. J., Simpson, A. H. R., & MacLean, J. G. B. (2012). Variation in physical development in schoolboy rugby players: can maturity testing reduce mismatch?. BMJ Open, 2(4), e001149. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2012-001149

Objectives This study set out to pursue means of reducing mismatch in schoolboy rugby players. The primary objective was to determine whether application of previously reported thresholds of height and grip strength could be used to distinguish tho...
