Normative Values for the Forgotten Joint Score-12 for the US General Population (2018)
Journal Article
Giesinger, J. M., Behrend, H., Hamilton, D. F., Kuster, M. S., & Giesinger, K. (2019). Normative Values for the Forgotten Joint Score-12 for the US General Population. Journal of Arthroplasty, 34(4), 650-655. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arth.2018.12.011

Background The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire of joint awareness in patients with hip and knee pathologies. To improve interpretability of values derived from this measure, we collected normative values... Read More about Normative Values for the Forgotten Joint Score-12 for the US General Population.

Journal Article
Watt, F., Corp, N., Kingsbury, S., Frobell, R., Englund, M., Felson, D., …Bierma-Zeinstra, S. (2019). Towards prevention of post-traumatic osteoarthritis: report from an international expert working group on considerations for the design and conduct of interventional studies following acute knee injury. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 27(1), 23-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2018.08.001

Objective There are few guidelines for clinical trials of interventions for prevention of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), reflecting challenges in this area. An international multi-disciplinary expert group including patients was convened to g...

Development of a clinical risk score for pain and function following total knee arthroplasty: results from the TRIO study (2018)
Journal Article
Shim, A., Mclernon, D. J., Hamilton, D., Simpson, H. A., Beasley, M., & Macfarlane, G. J. (2018). Development of a clinical risk score for pain and function following total knee arthroplasty: results from the TRIO study. Rheumatology Advances in Practice, 2(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/rap/rky021

Objectives The aim was to develop and validate a simple clinical prediction model, based on easily collected preoperative information, to identify patients at high risk of pain and functional disability 6 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA)....

Can Arthroplasty Stem INfluence Outcome? (CASINO): a randomized controlled equivalence trial of 125 mm versus 150 mm Exeter V40 stems in total hip arthroplasty (2018)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Ohly, N. E., & Gaston, P. (2018). Can Arthroplasty Stem INfluence Outcome? (CASINO): a randomized controlled equivalence trial of 125 mm versus 150 mm Exeter V40 stems in total hip arthroplasty. Trials, 19(1), Article 226 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-018-2621-8

Background The use of shorter length femoral stems during total hip arthroplasty has been suggested to accommodate wider patient femoral geometry and offer maximal bone preservation. However, cemented short-stem designs may increase the risk of varu... Read More about Can Arthroplasty Stem INfluence Outcome? (CASINO): a randomized controlled equivalence trial of 125 mm versus 150 mm Exeter V40 stems in total hip arthroplasty.

Treatment Success Following Joint Arthroplasty: Defining Thresholds for the Oxford Hip and Knee Scores (2018)
Journal Article
Hamilton, D. F., Loth, F. L., MacDonald, D. J., Giesinger, K., Patton, J. T., Simpson, A. H., …Giesinger, J. M. (2018). Treatment Success Following Joint Arthroplasty: Defining Thresholds for the Oxford Hip and Knee Scores. Journal of Arthroplasty, 33(8), 2392-2397. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arth.2018.03.062

Background Patient-reported outcome scores are the mainstay method for quantifying success following arthroplasty. However, it is unclear when a “successful outcome” is achieved. We calculated threshold values for the Oxford Hip and Knee Score (OHS... Read More about Treatment Success Following Joint Arthroplasty: Defining Thresholds for the Oxford Hip and Knee Scores.

Purpose This study investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI) on improvement in patient outcomes (pain, function, joint awareness, general health and satisfaction) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Data were obtained for pri... Read More about Patient-reported outcome metrics following total knee arthroplasty are influenced differently by patients’ body mass index.
