Robotic arm-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty was a cost-effective intervention with an incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year of £13,078 at five years.

This is very important data & could well change practice. The authors’ ten-year data, which should be available soon, provides even stronger support for robotic arm-assisted unicompartmental knee surgery.

Lucky to have another paper published last week from my old lab group. Work I did/helped with over 5 years ago on the link between obesity-induced lung damage and our old favourite parasitic worm product, ES-62!

New paper published from our group showing the survivorship of HTOs with 14y FU. We found two factors associated with conversion to TKAs; higher age at time of HTO and the use of larger corrections requiring bone grafts. https://t.co/lokI3Yn0ab

For experienced knee arthroplasty surgeons, it is difficult to justify the additional costs of navigation.

In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals".

Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats!

The last paper from my post doc has been published! Have a read about how an excreted parasitic worm product ES-62 can influence osteoimmunology axis in aged mice

Welcoming the research team at Glasgow Royal Infirmary to the RESULT-Hip trial, who received SATO last Wednesday. Always great to open a new site close to home! @GlasgowCRF @NHSGGC #Transfusion #HipFracture #RESULTHip

We've developed smartphone fluorescence microscopes, aka Glowscopes. A few simple and inexpensive components convert your smartphone into a basic fluorescence microscope. 1/n

Great work from @JunrenZhang2 @nathannghuang et al in @BoneJointJ

Systematic review of #Mako Vs manual #UKA: greater precision with Mako & fewer comps, but no diff in PROMs. Mako cost effective with volume.

Effect on survival still needed

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

MAKO RAUKA was associated with improved precision of component positioning but was not associated with improved PROMs using the KSS and WOMAC scores.

Parasites are bad…aren’t they? Find out why this parasite could be key to treating autoimmune diseases: https://t.co/CqRwJX4xi0 #ArchiveMisconceptions #StrathImages @DoonanJames @SIPBS_Strath #Archive30

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

The bi-UKA had limited biomechanical and propriceptive function advantage over the TKA group, despite maintaining the cruciate ligament.
