Papers
Infection in Orthopaedics.
Gillian E. Cook,David C. Markel,Weiping Ren,Lawrence X. Webb,Michael D. McKee,Emil H. Schemitsch +5 more
TL;DR: Technologies to diagnose and prevent orthopaedic infection are outlined, implant-related infection and its management is examined, and the treatment of post-traumatic osteomyelitis is discussed.

Biomechanical optimization of the angle and position for surgical implantation of a straight short stem hip implant.
Gillian E. Cook,Saeid Samiezadeh,Zachary Morison,Mina S.R. Aziz,Habiba Bougherara,Radovan Zdero,Emil H. Schemitsch +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, orthopaedic surgeons should aim to implant straight short stem hip implants in valgus up to 10°, with an otherwise neutral position and version, unless some degree of deviation would be beneficial for a patient-specific reason.

Building Networks for Global Clinical Research: The Basics.
David W. Shearer,Paul A. Volberding,Emil H. Schemitsch,Gillian E. Cook,Gerard P. Slobogean,Saam Morshed +5 more
TL;DR: Cross-national collaborations are an effective means of conducting high-quality clinical research and offer many advantages over single-center investigations, but a well-designed research protocol, development of an effective team structure, and the funding to ensure the project is sustained to completion are needed.

Biomechanical Concepts for Fracture Fixation.
Michael Bottlang,Christine E. Schemitsch,Aaron Nauth,Milton L Routt,Kenneth A. Egol,Gillian E. Cook,Emil H. Schemitsch +6 more
TL;DR: In the setting of complex elbow instability, stable fixation or radial head replacement with an appropriately sized implant in conjunction with ligamentous repair is required to restore stability.
Assessment of Fracture Repair.
Gillian E. Cook,Brent D. Bates,Paul Tornetta,Michael D. McKee,Saam Morshed,Gerard P. Slobogean,Emil H. Schemitsch +6 more
TL;DR: Assessment of fracture union is a critical concept in clinical orthopaedics; however, there is no established “gold standard” for fracture healing, so studies should include a composite outcome measure consisting of radiographic and functional assessments to increase the quality and consistency of fracture healing trials.
