• RESEARCHS :
• • Clinical study: Mechanical or chemical prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism during elective hip and knee surgery. We have conducted in our department a prospective study to investigate the null hypothesis that there is no difference in VTE outcome for subjects undergoing elective hip or knee surgery. The results of this study will be presented in the next AAOS congress (2012).
• • Our department participated in a multi-center prospective randomized control trial to compare the effect upon bone density when using Bone Master Hydroxyapatite coated acetabular cups compared with Plasma Sprayed hydroxyapatite coated cups in patients with total hip replacement. This study is conducted in concomitant with Doctors Helmut Zahn and William Dunnet consultant orthopaedic surgeons at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent. England.
• • Cadaver study to study the biomechanical characteristic of the Fixion Expandable nail in the management of diaphyseal femoral fractures. The results of this study have been presented in the 12th AOLF congress in GENEVA 2010.
