Boughton O, Jones GG, Lavy CBD, et al., 2015, Young, male, road traffic victims: a systematic review of the published trauma registry literature from low and middle income countries, SICOT-J, Vol: 1, ISSN: 2426-8887
– Background: Trauma contributes significantly to the global burden of disease. We analysed publishedtrauma registries to assess the demographics of those most affected in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).Methods: We performed a systematic review of published trauma registry studies according to PRISMA guidelines.We included published full-text articles from trauma registries in low and middle-income countries describing thedemographics of trauma registry patients. Articles from military trauma registries, articles using data not principallyderived from trauma registry data, articles describing patients of only one demographic (e.g. only paediatric patients),or only one mechanism of injury, trauma registry implementation papers without demographic data, review papersand conference proceedings were excluded.Results: The initial search retrieved 1868 abstracts of which 1324 remained after duplicate removal. After screeningthe abstracts, 78 full-text articles were scrutinised for their suitability for inclusion. Twenty three papers from14 countries, including 103,327 patients, were deemed eligible and included for analysis. The median age of traumavictims in these articles was 27 years (IQR 25–29). The median percentage of trauma victims who were male was75 (IQR 66–84). The median percentage of road traffic injuries (RTIs) as a percentage of total injuries caused by traumawas 46 (IQR 21–71).Conclusions: Young, male, road traffic victims represent a large proportion of the LMIC trauma burden. This informationcan inform and be used by local and national governments to implement road safety measures and other strategiesaimed at reducing the injury rate in young males.
Kwasnicki RM, Ali R, Jordan SJ, et al., 2015, A wearable mobility assessment device for total knee replacement: A longitudinal feasibility study, International Journal of Surgery, Vol: 18, Pages: 14-20, ISSN: 1743-9191
BackgroundTotal knee replacement currently lacks robust indications and objective follow-up metrics. Patients and healthcare staff are under-equipped to optimise outcomes. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using an ear-worn motion sensor (e-AR, Imperial College London) to conduct objective, home-based mobility assessments in the peri-operative setting.MethodsFourteen patients on the waiting list for knee replacement, and 15 healthy subjects, were recruited. Pre-operatively, and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks post-operatively, patients underwent functional mobility testing (Timed Up and Go), knee examination (including range of motion), and an activity protocol whilst wearing the e-AR sensor. Features extracted from sensor motion data were used to assess patient performance and predict patients' recovery phase.ResultsSensor-derived peri-operative mobility trends correlated with clinical measures in several activities, allowing functional recovery of individual subjects to be profiled and compared, including the detection of a complication. Sensor data features enabled classification of subjects into normal, pre-operative and 24-week post-operative groups with 89% (median) accuracy. Classification accuracy was reduced to 69% when including all time intervals.DiscussionThis study demonstrates a novel, objective method of assessing peri-operative mobility, which could be used to supplement surgical decision-making and facilitate community-based follow-up.

Hutchinson AJP, Ball S, Andrews JCH, et al., 2012, The effectiveness of acupuncture in treating chronic non-specific low back pain: a systematic review of the literature, Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, Vol: 7, Pages: 1-8, ISSN: 1749-799X
BackgroundLow back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder defined as pain and soreness, muscle tension, or stiffness in the lumbosacral area of the spine which does not have a specific cause. Low back pain results in high health costs and incapacity to work causing an economic burden to society. The optimal management of non-specific low back pain appears to be undecided. Recently published guidelines support the use of acupuncture for treating non-specific low back pain and it has become a popular alternative treatment modality for patients with low back pain.MethodsA comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted through Medline using Ovid and Medical Subject Headings for randomized controlled trials published in the last 10 years. The outcomes scored were subjective pain scores and functional outcome scores.ResultsEighty two randomized studies were identified, of which 7 met our inclusion criteria. Three studies found a significant difference in pain scores when comparing acupuncture, or sham acupuncture, with conventional therapy or no care. Two studies demonstrated a significant difference between acupuncture treatment and no treatment or routine care at 8 weeks and 3 months. Three studies demonstrated no significant difference between acupuncture and minimal/sham acupuncture with no difference in pain relief or function over 6 to 12 months.ConclusionsThis review provides some evidence to support acupuncture as more effective than no treatment, but no conclusions can be drawn about its effectiveness over other treatment modalities as the evidence is conflicting.

Atallah L, Jones GG, Ali R, et al., 2011, Observing recovery from knee-replacement surgery by using wearable sensors, Pages: 29-34
A progressive improvement in gait following knee arthroplasty surgery can be observed during walking and transitional activities such as sitting/standing. Accurate assessment of such changes traditionally requires the use of a gait lab, which is often impractical, expensive, and labour intensive. Quantifying gait impairment following knee arthroplasty by employing wearable sensors allows for continuous monitoring of recovery. This study employed a recognised protocol of activities both pre-operatively, and at regular intervals up to twenty-four weeks post-total knee arthroplasty. The results suggest that a wearable miniaturised ear-worn sensor is potentially useful in monitoring post-operative recovery, and in identifying patients who fail to improve as expected, thus facilitating early clinical review and intervention. © 2011 IEEE.

Jack CM, Jones G, Edwards MR, et al., 2010, A case report of three peripheral schwannomas attached to the Achilles paratenon., Foot (Edinb), Vol: 20, Pages: 78-80
BACKGROUND: Schwannomas are uncommon slow growing tumours arising from the nerve sheath or Schwann cell. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of multiple schwannomas arising form the achilles paratenon. METHODS: A 38 year old man presented lumps on the dorsum of his leg. He was clinically evaluated, subjected to imaging studies and surgery. RESULTS: 3 separate lumps where removed measuring 10, 12, and 12mm. They here confirmed to be schwannomas on hitochemical staining. CONCLUSION: A schwannoma must be considered in the differential of lumps in the lower leg. This is the first report of schwanommas associated with the paratenon. Removal of such masses is warranted to prevent local erosion.
Edwards MR, Jack C, Jones GG, et al., 2010, Post-operative stress fractures complicating surgery for painful forefoot conditions., Foot (Edinb), Vol: 20, Pages: 49-51
A stress fracture is caused by repetitive or unusual loading of a bone leading to mechanical failure. Fatigue type stress fractures occur in normal bone exposed to abnormally high repetitive loads, whereas insufficiency type stress fractures occur in abnormal bone exposed to normal loads. We describe three cases of insufficiency stress fractures that have complicated surgery for painful forefoot conditions. The diagnosis and management of these cases are discussed. Stress fractures should be included in the differential diagnosis of any patient who continues or develops pain after surgery to the forefoot.
