Abstract
Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital (CNOH) joint register is of huge value in assessing current outcomes of Charnley and Exeter Total Hip Replacements (THR) in Ireland. It is the chief orthopaedic elective hospital and as the Republic of Ireland has no published results from the National Joint Register yet; focusing on this register will help the Irish orthopaedic community by demonstrating which of the two devices has superior survivorship and patient reported outcomes.
Highlights
OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis (OA) is defined as a clinical syndrome of joint pain with variable levels of reduced joint function and quality of life, OA is the most common form of arthritis [1]
Our results from Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital (CNOH) are excellent in terms of survivorship and consistent with international figures, we would advice to continue this cohort for a longer review to assess the outcomes at 15 and 20 years
The aim of this study is to review the long-term results of Hip Replacements performed at Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital
Summary
OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis (OA) is defined as a clinical syndrome of joint pain with variable levels of reduced joint function and quality of life, OA is the most common form of arthritis [1]. The condition affects 400,000 people in Ireland and there has been an increase in the number of people with OA in Ireland for two reasons; the ageing population and obesity (the additional weight causes an increased strain on the joints) [4]. Cappagh National Orthopaedic Hospital (CNOH) joint register is of huge value in assessing current outcomes of Charnley and Exeter Total Hip Replacements (THR) in Ireland. It is the chief orthopaedic elective hospital and as the Republic of Ireland has no published results from the National Joint Register yet; focusing on this register will help the Irish orthopaedic community by demonstrating which of the two devices has superior survivorship and patient reported outcomes
