Dr Simon Talbot has been heavily involved in research over many years. He has published and presented nationally and internationally on knee surgery with a particular interest in patellofemoral biomechanics, three-dimensional anatomy, knee arthroplasty implant design and alignment techniques to improve the outcomes of knee replacement. His updated list of publications is available on the ResearchGate site https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Simon-Talbot-2?ev=hdr_xprf
In recent years he has presented at the Great Knee Debate (London), Personalized Arthroplasty Society (Rome), EFFORT (Hamburg), International Society of Technology in Arthroplasty (Rome), London Knee Meeting, ISAKOS (Cancun and Shanghai), Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association (Cairns) and regularly at the Australian Knee Society and Australian Orthopaedic Association meetings.
He is the designer of the High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) which was designed to assess the outcomes of hip and knee replacement in younger and more active patients. It has now been translated into at least seven languages.
He has presented at several industry sponsored events and in the last few years has done consultancy work for Medacta, Matortho and Microport, particularly on concepts around medial pivot knee replacement and alignment techniques for knee replacement. He has two active patents regarding alignment techniques for knee replacements.
Currently his research is focusing on the importance of quadriceps muscle alignment in the development of patella osteoarthritis, recurrent patella instability and the outcomes of knee replacement. This concept and research is detailed in (Quadriceps Malalignment page).
