Abstract:

Morbidity following hip and knee arthroplasty has previously been poorly recorded. This is the first time the Post-Operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) has been used for this purpose. The POMS identifies clinically significant morbidity using indicators of organ system dysfunction rather than traditional diagnostic categories. The most common types of morbidity following hip and knee arthroplasty are infection and renal morbidity. Pulmonary, pain and gastro-intestinal morbidity are less common. Cardiovascular, wound, neurological and haematological morbidity are least common. Many arthroplasty pa

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis was to explore the use of cost effectiveness for interventions in orthopaedics. This was done through three cost effectiveness articles that have been published by the author. In each of these articles, similar methodologies were used. Decision models were constructed for cost-effectiveness analyses of competing orthopaedic interventions. Outcome probabilities and effectiveness values were derived from the literature. Effectiveness was expressed in quality adjusted life years gained. Cost data were compiled and verified from either hospital cost data or from Medicare

Abstract:

Medical education and practical training in surgery is changing, by shifting from an on the job learning paradigm, which possesses problems such as that it is unpredictable, dependent on clinical needs and that patient safety may be jeopardised, to an evidence-based surgical skills training driven by curricular needs, and acquiring basic surgical skills prior to assisting in the operating theatre and thus reducing operation duration. Towards achieving this goal, virtual reality (VR) simulators are used in minimally invasive surgery for technical skills training at the beginning of the learning

Abstract:

The registration of 3D preoperative medical data to patients is a key task in developing computer assisted surgery systems. In computer assisted surgery, the patient in the operation theatre must be aligned with the coordinate system in which the preoperative data has been acquired, so that the planned surgery based on the preoperative data can be carried out under the guidance of the computer assisted surgery system. The aim of this research is to investigate registration algorithms for developing computer assisted bone surgery systems. We start with reference mark registration. New interpret

The primary objective of this research was to perform an in vitro assessment of the ability of microscale topography to alter cell behaviour, with specific regard to producing favourable topography in an orthopaedic ceramic material suitable for implantation in the treatment of arthritis. Topography at microscale and nanoscale alters the bioactivity of the material. This has been used in orthopaedics for some time as seen with optimal pore size in uncemented hip and knee implants. This level of topography involves scale in hundreds of micrometres and allows for the ingrowth of tissue. Topograp

Musculoskeletal tissue is prone to age-related degeneration and to damage which heals poorly. Many current treatments are able to treat only the end stages of these conditions, such as the use of total knee replacements in osteoarthritis. Cellular therapies are seen as a potential source of effective treatments for the earlier stages of these conditions. Orthopaedic surgery has been at the forefront of cellular therapies with treatments such as microfracture and autologous chondrocyte implantation to treat chondral defects.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert for musculoskeletal TB and for rifampicin resistance against a gold standard of culture or histology.

The overarching hypothesis was that Xpert is more accurate and would provide results faster than the gold standard for musculoskeletal TB, and that it would have a higher yield in HIV infected patients, adult patients, and patients with spinal disease.

Abstract:

Over the past 50 years, the demographics of medical school graduates in the United States has changed dramatically with the number of women (47%) almost equaling the number of men in 2014 (AAMC, 2014). However, the Association of American Medical Colleges (2014) reports that orthopaedic surgery has the lowest proportion of female residents, instructors, assistants, associate, and full professors of all the sub-specialties and little has changed in the past several decades. Due to the healthcare reform and the changing needs of our society, it is importance to recruit, retain, and promote wome

Abstract:

This thesis describes the design and control of snake like concentric tube robots for the purposes of minimally invasive, orthopaedic arthroscopic procedures, although similarities can be drawn in multiple surgical contexts. It analyses multiple aspects of delivering the technology, including different forms of robot hardware, the role of robots in surgery and different control modalities including gesture recognition. A prototype tube robot developed by the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision is tested and end user feedback provided to further refine its development.
