Objective The aim of this study was to compare the responsiveness of various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and clinician-reported outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over a 2-year period. Methods Data were collected in a... Read More about Comparative responsiveness of outcome measures for total knee arthroplasty.

Limb lengthening and peripheral nerve function—factors associated with deterioration of conduction (2013)
Journal Article
Simpson, A. H. R. W., Halliday, J., Hamilton, D. F., Smith, M., & Mills, K. (2013). Limb lengthening and peripheral nerve function—factors associated with deterioration of conduction. Acta orthopaedica, 84(6), 579-584. https://doi.org/10.3109/17453674.2013.859418

Background and purpose Limb lengthening is performed for a diverse range of orthopedic problems. A high rate of complications has been reported in these patients, which include motor and sensory loss as a result of nerve damage. We investigated the...

Do modern total knee replacements offer better value for money? A health economic analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Clement, N. D., Burnett, R., Patton, J. T., Moran, M., Howie, C. R., …Gaston, P. (2013). Do modern total knee replacements offer better value for money? A health economic analysis. International Orthopaedics, 37(11), 2147-2152. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00264-013-1992-4

Purpose Cost effectiveness is an increasingly important factor in today’s healthcare environment, and selection of arthroplasty implant is not exempt from such concerns. Quality adjusted life years (QALYs) are the typical tool for this type of evalu... Read More about Do modern total knee replacements offer better value for money? A health economic analysis.

Muscle ‘regenerative potential’ determines physical recovery following total knee replacement (2013)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., McLeish, J. A., Gaston, P., & Simpson, A. H. R. W. (2013). Muscle ‘regenerative potential’ determines physical recovery following total knee replacement. Bone & Joint Research, 2(4), 70-78. https://doi.org/10.1302/2046-3758.24.2000151

Objectives Lower limb muscle power is thought to influence outcome following total knee replacement (TKR). Post-operative deficits in muscle strength are commonly reported, although not explained. We hypothesised that post-operative recovery of lowe... Read More about Muscle ‘regenerative potential’ determines physical recovery following total knee replacement.

What determines patient satisfaction with surgery? A prospective cohort study of 4709 patients following total joint replacement (2013)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Lane, J. V., Gaston, P., Patton, J. T., MacDonald, D., Simpson, A. H. R. W., & Howie, C. R. (2013). What determines patient satisfaction with surgery? A prospective cohort study of 4709 patients following total joint replacement. BMJ Open, 3(4), e002525. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002525

Objectives To investigate the factors which influence patient satisfaction with surgical services and to explore the relationship between overall satisfaction, satisfaction with specific facets of outcome and measured clinical outcomes (patient rep...

Lengthening the moment arm of the patella confers enhanced extensor mechanism power following total knee arthroplasty (2013)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Simpson, A. H. R., Burnett, R., Patton, J. T., Moran, M., Clement, N. D., …Gaston, P. (2013). Lengthening the moment arm of the patella confers enhanced extensor mechanism power following total knee arthroplasty. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 31(8), 1201-1207. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.22344

We investigated whether a postulated biomechanical advantage conferred to the extensor mechanism by a change in knee implant design was detectable in patients by direct physical testing. 212 TKA patients were enrolled in a double blind randomized con...

Predicting the cost-effectiveness of total hip and knee replacement: A health economic analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Jenkins, P. J., Clement, N. D., Hamilton, D. F., Gaston, P., Patton, J. T., & Howie, C. R. (2013). Predicting the cost-effectiveness of total hip and knee replacement: A health economic analysis. Bone and Joint Journal, 95-B(1), 115-121. https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620x.95b1.29835

The aim of this study was to perform a cost–utility analysis of total hip (THR) and knee replacement (TKR). Arthritis is a disabling condition that leads to long-term deterioration in quality of life. Total joint replacement, despite being one of the...
