In this expert interview, Professor Edward Davis discusses emerging real-world evidence examining the association between bearing material selection and infection-related outcomes following primary total hip arthroplasty. Drawing on data from the UK National Joint Registry and complementary US claims analyses, he explores the methodology behind large-scale registry research, key findings comparing OXINIUM™/XLPE with other contemporary bearing combinations, and the importance of interpreting real-world data appropriately.Throughout the discussion, Professor Davis reviews potential scientific hypotheses that may explain the observed associations, including considerations related to material properties, corrosion, metal ion release, and biological response. He also examines how these findings may influence clinical conversations around implant material selection, infection risk, and decision-making in primary total hip arthroplasty.
This episode explores modern revision arthroplasty, with Mr Steve Jones and Dr George Haidukewych discussing a mix of cemented and uncemented revisions. It covers key changes in hip revision over the past decade, alongside global variations in practice. The discussion also walks through case preparation - from X-rays and templating to kit planning and shares practical tips on implant removal, including cement extraction and managing uncemented stems.
This episode explores the classification and management of acetabular defects in hip revision surgery, breaking down how treatment pathways evolve from simple to highly complex cases. The discussion highlights what truly makes the difference in clinical practice, from decision-making frameworks to surgical strategy, offering practical insights into managing a wide spectrum of acetabular revisions.
