Competing Interests

HP is a NIHR senior investigator and MHRA advisor. In the latter role, he advised MHRA regarding the incidence and risk factors associated with the post-operative peri-prosthetic femoral fractures. In particular, this was to identify the risks associated with one of the commonly used stems (CPT manufactured by Zimmer Biomet). This was a voluntary role and no funding from MHRA was/is associated with it. HP (as a Chief Investigator) receives institutional funding from Zimmer Biomet, Depuy Synthes, Allay Therapeutics, Paradigm Pharma and Invibio. In particular, Zimmer Biomet has funded University of Leeds in relation to the on-going and previous research in the field of peri-prosthetic fractures. HP is a paid consultant to Zimmer Biomet for the work in the field of peri-prosthetic fractures and arthroplasty related teaching / training. HP has also received personal funding from the following industry organisations (unrelated to the topic of this work): Invibio, Medacta International, Smith and Nephew, MATOrtho, Microport, Teleflex, Allay Therapeutics and Paradigm Pharmaceuticals. HP has a stock option with Allay Therapeutics. HP holds two patents (through University of Leeds - in the field of implantable sensors and recharging apparatus). None of these roles / funding from any of the industry organisations (either to HP or to his institution) influenced the design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data presented in this manuscript)
