DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
We remain committed lo funding projects researching and uncovering kno￿rfedge of musculoskeletal
and joint pathologies, joint arthroplasty, ways of ensuring success. and possible solutions for problems
and failures of joint replacements.
The project entitled "3D Patient Specific Instruments (PSI) for Implant Positioning in Total Hip
Replacement" lead by Associate Professor Anna di Laura et al at the Royal National Orthopaedic
Hospital (RNOH) began shortly after the funding was approved.
Several updates were submitted to the charity, and the researchers reported that the project was on
target, and they had published papers, engaged in inlemational presentations and received some
media Goverage.
The publication in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research (https:Ildoi.org110.1002tJor.25971) was
"Understandlng the variabillty of the proximal femoral canal.. A computatlonal modelllng
study., The authors were A. Ramesh, J. Henckel, A. Hart and A. Di Laura. The aim of the study was
to better understand the shape variations that characterise the intramedullary femoral canal which
dictates the fit of the prosthetic stem.
The presentations include the following:
"Understanding the variability of the femoral canal for THA.- a computational modelling
study" The European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
(EFORT). 22-24 May 2024, Hamburg, Germany.
"Statistical Shape Modelling Shows the High Variability of the Proximal Femoral Canal..
Future Gulde to Achieve Target Stem Anteversion". Intemalional Society for Technology in
Arthroplasty (ISTA), 28-31 August 2024, Nashville. USA.
' The clinical importance of planning stem anteversion." the use of PSI for femoral
osteotomy and version"

The team were also involved in a two-day exhits'tion at the UCL Festival of Engineering celebrating
the 150-year anniversary of the introduction of the first engineering teaching laboratory in the UK.
They ran the exhibit 'What will hip suryery look like in 20507- demonstrating some of
state-of-the-art surgical planning and 3D printing solutions to the audience.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
The RNOH project Couch to SK on 3D assessment of muscle health is on track. Data analysis,
dissemination of information and publication is ongoing.
In "Runnerfs World". journalist Sophie Raworth explains her experience of Knee MRI scanning
with the research team and reports Professor Hart's main research focus.
2. In The Times Peta Bee reported on an interview with Professor Alister Hart 'How cycling can add
years to your life.. A new study shows that regular pedalling by over-50s helps the body to stay
physically heamhy for longer.
3. In the Doctors Updates Conference Ihere was a talk on Exercise Science by Speakers: Alister Hart,
Sophie Raworth, Mike Mosley, Sanjay Shama.
4. In the 40 Marathon Medicine Conference April 2024 there was an invited talk on Ihe effects of
sport and eXer￿se on joints and muscles of sedentary and active Indiv￿ua1s.
5. In a press release - The Conversation - an article explains the benefits of wnning after middle age.
"One of the best ways to ease into running in mid-life is the NHS Couch to SK running programme.
It's designed for everyone. Running is a great way to keep bones and muscles healthy. helping
prevent damage and even osteoarthritis. Just make sure to take it slow at first..
We received a letter of thanks from the Dlrector of the ExplantLab, Dr Davld Langton. for our ongoing
ongoing support. He also provided an update on the groundbreaking research that they are engaged in.
Multiple centres across the country are involved in recruiting patients, with the ultimate aim of acquiring
2000+ patients.
The overall research project is focused on the study of immune responses to various types of implants,
with the ultimate aim to develop a test which will allow patients to receive medical implants which they are
best surted to. based on their DNA.
There have been some exciting discoveries in lerms of relationships between blood titanium
concentrations and patient reported outcomes and the risk of revision. These findings were presented in
October 2024 at the Personalized Arthroplasty Society Meeting in Chicago. The paper on which this
presentation was based is will be submitted to the American Knee Society for consideration of a research
award at next yearfs AAOS meeting.
This initial paper is just the first of what will likely amount to dozens of papers generated from this project.
The ExplantLab researchers we will be examining the relationship between genetics and the risk of
infection, polyethylene induced osteolysis, and Ihe effect of robotic surgery on wear scar position.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
ExplantLab have also successfully applied for the NHS tender for the provision of explant testing to the
NHS Implant Analysis Service. This is a new national service which was publicly launched at
conference in Newcastle, in November 2024.
On another matter, the organiser of a large national research project, Joanna Shim, invrted the Director
and 3 Trustees frorn the Charity to be mernbers of a national Steering Committee to work with the
James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership (PSP). The Arthroplasty for Arthritis Charity is delighted
to support the James Lind Alliance Steering Group in a new PSP.
Established in 2004. the James Lind Allian￿ is a non-profit organization that brings together patients,
carers, and clinicians to Klentify and prioritize studies in health research. This collaborative approach
ensures that future research aligns wrth Ihe real needs of those directly affected. The PSP is chaired
by Mr. Jonathan Gower, the James Lind Alliance Senior Adviser, who leads the Steering Group.
The project is supported by the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen where Joanna Shim is the
Chan￿lI0￿S chief researcher. Other health groups including the NHS are also actively participating in
the project. The govemment are set to provide huge financial support for the Prehabilrtation project.
The project was to evaluate the need for Prehabilitation in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.
This initiative aims to address a historically poorly supported area of research - the preoperative phase
of patient care
Prehabilitation (also called p￿OperatiVe rehabilrtation, or prehab ) is 8 programme designed to help
prepare people for surgery as best as possible. It may include exe￿Ise, nutiitional guidance, mental
health and wellbeing support. and lrfestyle changes depending on individual needs. The goal is to
improve overall heatth and wellbeing dunng the waiting period for surgery. which can range from
monlhs to several years. This preparation may lead to better outcomes 8fter surgery.
The purpose of this project, Prehabilitation." Priority Sethng Partnership is also to ensure that
patients are fit enough to be redirected into the private sector waiting lists. whe￿ patients are passed fit
by Prehabilitation they could then not be refused an operation in the private sector or in the operation
hubs set up by the govemment.
The charity's involvement in this project not only helps to enhance the profile of the Charity, but also
identifies the Charity's commitment to research and health care in the United Kingdom.
We appointed a new Patron. Via a Trustee's link lo the Earl of Inchcape. she wrote to the Duke of
Northumberland who accepted the role of Patron but emphasised that his role would be symbolic
rather than an active one. We formally acknowledged and welcomed the Duke of Northumberland to
the Charty.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
Regarding holding future fundraising events, we again approached the Earf of Inchcape, who is
member The Grocerfs Livery Company, London. The Grocerfs Hall was visrted and viewed in
November 2024, to gain insight into its surtabilrty for a fundraising event. Further discussion and
evaluation by theTrustees will be required in the future.
Fund raising continues to be difficult. We have regularly written to various organisations. Our main
sponsors, to whom we remain indebted, are The Tompkins Foundation, the Wyseliot Rose Charitable
Trust. The Inchcape Foundation and the Joseph Strong Frazer Trust.
We continue to be supported by webree.com and Proctor + Stevenson Ltd and are grateful for their
ongoing help.
We are investigating the possibilty of investing some of our assels. The accounts remain in good
order, with adequate funds to continue actively supporting the various research projects on the horizon.
