Elie Walsh, David Sullivan, James Ross, Mark Ross, Phil Duke Due to the high incidence of shoulder surgery, it is of increasing importance to evaluate patient reported outcomes to determine the efficacy of, and expected post-operative outcomes of these procedures. There is a limited understanding on why some patients report higher pain and worse outcomes [...]
Amol Dhopte, Libby Anderson, Greg Couzens, Mark Ross Arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint is a relatively new procedure which involves replacing the PIP joint with a prosthesis. This procedure is often performed due to pain and weakness caused by arthritic processes such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis as well as trauma, and [...]
