- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Range of motion using a goniometer.[Baseline prior to procedure and 6 weeks, 3, 6,12 and 24 months, 5 and 10 years post procedure.];Infection rate: assessed by clinical presentation deemed to be an infected joint by the treating surgeon, requiring washout. Will be classified as deep if involving joint capsule and superficial if not involving joint capsule, as deemed by operative notes during washout.[6 weeks, 3, 6,12 and 24 months, 5 and 10 years post procedure the records will be checked for any notes regarding an infection.]
