Clinical Research
- VRM Reddy, MM Glasgow. Clinical & radiological study of paediatric orthopaedic knee problems in outpatient clinic. University Hospitals, Norwich, UK. Outcome: The study revealed less than 5% requiring surgery. A management protocol has been set up where in GPs refer children with knee problems and normal plain radiographs to physiotherapy and a specialist referral only if the physiotherapy regimen fails to relieve the symptoms.
- VRM Reddy, M Siddique, S Siddique. Postoperative blood salvage in total knee arthroplasty Freeman Hospital, Newcastle. Outcome: Post-op blood salvage with autologous drains did not have a major impact in the reduction of bank blood transfusion incidence in primary total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, these drains have been withdrawn in primary TKR after the audit findings.
- VRM Reddy, C Wildin. Role of lateral views in the surgical management of neck femur fractures. Leicester Royal Infirmary. Outcome: The study revealed no impact of the use of lateral views in either diagnosis or surgical management decisions in neck femur fractures.
- VRM Reddy, Mr M Newey, Mr S Godsiff, Outcome of All Poly Tibia monoblock component in total knee replacement. Leicester General Hospital. Outcome: The audit findings demonstrated excellent clinical and radiological outcomes with all poly tibia monoblock TKR at 2-year follow-up. The study also revealed cost effectiveness of this implant with a total savings of nearly ninety thousand pounds to the unit over a period of two years. A database of patients with all poly tibia TKR has been established to study the survivorship outcome over the next few years.
- ON Nagi, MS Dhillon, VRM Reddy. Comparison of formalin preserved bone allograft in the form of a paste and as bone chips in fresh femoral fractures with comminution. Outcome: Bone allograft in the form of bone chips and as fine paste form was equally effective in the healing of comminuted femur fractures.
