    Abstract A 63-year-old woman was referred to the specialised knee revision clinic with ongoing knee pain after total knee replacement. She incidentally had cobalt and chromium levels measured. These were seen to be elevated. Comprehensive assessment and investigation did not identify any other source of cobalt or chromium. Aseptic loosening of the knee was diagnosed, and the knee was revised. At the time of surgery, the tissue was seen to be darkened consistent with metallosis. Multiple samples excluded infection on extended cultures. Aspirated fluid showed that periprosthetic fluid had elevated cobalt levels. The knee was successfully revised with good symptomatic outcome and significantly, over the course of several months post-revision, the cobalt and chromium levels returned to normal.

    Abstract Introduction: COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020. With the sudden surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), significant concerns regarding the ongoing availability emerged. One solution proposed is re-sterilisation of respirator masks and this has been commenced in some parts of the world. On review of the literature, very little is documented regarding the knowledge of masks and the attitudes of healthcare workers towards using re-sterilised masks.
    Methods: A comprehensive questionnaire was used to assess general knowledge and attitudes around facemasks and respirators.
    Results: There were 190 respondents. There were significant gaps in knowledge and understanding of when particular face masks should be worn. One-third had significant concerns about ongoing availability. One-third had concerns about the quality of the masks as the pandemic continued. Only 10% of respondents underwent formal face-fitting. Eighty percent of respondents stated they would wear a re-sterilised mask. A further 15% would use a re-sterilised mask but required certain reassurances. Five percent of our respondents would not use a re-sterilised mask under any circumstances.
    Discussion: Ensuring an adequate understanding of face masks is crucial among healthcare workers (HCWs) and this study highlights a need for further education. It also demonstrates a general acceptability among HCWs towards the use of re-sterilised face masks.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify if experience in arthroscopy confers ambidexterity to the operator and the role of baseline characteristics in arthroscopic simulator performance.
    Methods: A prospective comparative study was carried out across four regional Orthopaedic training centres. Participants were divided into novice, intermediate or experienced groups based on arthroscopic experience. Baseline demographics including age, sex, handedness, and gaming history were also collected. Following familiarisation with the procedure, participants were asked to complete a simulated task requiring bimanual control consisting of visualisation with camera control and manipulation of highlighted objects using a grasping instrument. One attempt using camera control and grasping accuracy per hand was performed by each participant, with scores for each hand collected for analysis. Performance scores for camera alignment, camera path length, grasper path length and grasping efficiency were collected. Time taken to completion was also noted for each attempt.
    Results: Fifty-six participants were recruited to the study. A significant difference in grasping efficiency between groups in the dominant hand was demonstrated (p = 0.013). Novices demonstrated laterality with superior performance in grasping efficiency in the dominant hand (p = 0.001). No significant difference was noted between dominant and non-dominant hand performance in the experienced group.
    Conclusion: Arthroscopic simulation-based training is a valuable learning tool for orthopaedic training. This study demonstrated that experienced orthopaedic surgeons have a greater degree of ambidexterity than intermediate or novice groups, hypothesised by authors to be conferred through conventional orthopaedic training. Dedicated bimanual control tasks to reduce laterality in trainees should be incorporated in simulated surgical curricula.

    Abstract Background: Cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the subject of renewed interest. Previous concerns about survivorship have been addressed and there is an appeal in terms of biological fixation and surgical efficiency. However, even surgeon advocates have concerns about the risk of marked subsidence when using this technology in older patients at risk for osteoporosis.
    Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 1,000 consecutive fully cementless mobile bearing TKAs performed at a single institution on women over 75 years of age who had postoperative and 1-year x-rays. The primary outcome was the incidence of subsidence.
    Results: There were three asymptomatic cases with definite subsidence and change in alignment. In a fourth symptomatic case, the femoral component subsided into varus and the tibia into valgus, thus maintaining alignment which facilitated nonoperative treatment in a 92-year-old. Overall, at 1 year, there were two- liner revisions for infection without recurrence. Five patients had further surgery, of which three were washouts and two were for periprosthetic fractures sustained postoperatively within 1 year. Seven patients had further anesthesia, of which five were manipulations and two were nonrecurrent closed reductions for spinouts.
    Conclusion: Cementless TKA did not have a high risk of subsidence in this at-risk population. In the hands of experienced surgeons, these procedures can be used safely irrespective of bone quality.

  9. Article: Peri-operative outcomes for ORIF of acetabular fracture in the elderly: Comparison with displaced intracapsular hip fractures in a national pelvic and acetabular referral centre over 5 years.

    Abstract Introduction: The increasing incidence of acetabular fractures in the elderly and the fracture complexity seen in this cohort represents one of the greatest challenges faced by trauma orthopaedic surgeons today. There are no formal guidelines of best practice in the treatment of these patients. Management options vary from non-operative, acute ORIF, and/or total joint replacement. Although surgical intervention allows for earlier mobilization and avoidance of the complications of prolonged bedrest, the patients ability to tolerate what is often major surgery is always of concern. This is in stark contrast to intracapsular hip fractures, (a fracture within the same joint), where acute surgery is recommended in virtually all cases.
    Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate the peri-operative outcomes for geriatric patients undergoing acetabular ORIF and hemiarthroplasty to assess if there is a significant difference in early outcome parameters.
    Design: This is a retrospective case-control study.
    Setting: This study was performed in the National Centre for Pelvic and Acetabular surgery.
    Patients: 42 age- and sex-matched patients with comparable ASA grades were included in each arm of the study. Patient selection in the acetabular ORIF group was consecutive patients managed operatively in the centre during the period 2010-2015. The selection for the hemiarthroplasty group was by random selection of age- and sex-matched patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty during the same period.
    Main outcome measurements: The primary outcomes that were proposed prior to the study being performed was perioperative mortality and post-op complications. Secondary outcomes were operating times, blood loss and need for ICU admission.
    Results: A significant difference between the two cohorts was observed with operative times, blood loss, need for transfusion, and need for ICU admission, all higher in the acetabular ORIF group. There was no significant difference in mortality or post-op infection.
    Conclusions: Our paper supports the concept that acute ORIF of acetabular fractures, with appropriate peri-operative support, can be undertaken safely. There is no difference in the major peri-operative outcomes of mortality or infection when compared with hip fracture patients requiring hemiarthroplasty.
