Sensor guided unicompartmental to total knee arthroplasty revision: Surgical technique
Orthopedic Reviews, 2021 Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) is an effective surgical option for managing unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis; it represents 10% of all knee arthroplasties worldwide, increasing 32.5% annually in the United States alone. Despite evolution in

Role of Pre-operative Correction of Vitamin D3 Deficiency in Controlling Post-operative Bone Pain after Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic JournalIntroduction: Hypovitaminosis D plays an important role in post-operative bone pain and muscle strength in arthroplasty surgeries. Its role in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has not been elucidated yet.

Knee mechanisms for through-knee prostheses [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1983 The most widely used knee mechanisms for through-knee amputees can be characterized as three principal types of design. These types are metal side bars with heavy duty joints, conventional knee mechanisms for above-knee amputees and special polycentric linkage mechanisms for through-knee amputees. An investigation in Sweden in 1979 showed that over 50%

Knee osteoarthritis in professional football is related to severe knee injury and knee surgery [PDF]
Injury Epidemiology, 2018 As a consequence of severe knee injuries, knee osteoarthritis (OA) seems prevalent in retired professional footballers. However, some epidemiological data remain missing, for instance whether knee OA is also prevalent in current professional footballers, whether knee OA is associated with knee injuries and surgeries, and whether knee OA leads to a ...

The Origin of the Knee in the Cosmic-Ray Energy Spectrum [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 A sudden steepening of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum (the knee) is observed at an energy of about 3 PeV (1 PeV = 10$^{15}$eV). The recent results on extensive air showers allow us to conclude that: a) the knee has an astrophysical origin; b) the 'sharpness' and the fine structure of the knee rule out 'Galactic Modulation' as the origin of the knee; c)

Knee Point Identification Based on Trade-Off Utility [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Knee points, characterised as their smallest trade-off loss at all objectives, are attractive to decision makers in multi-criterion decision-making. In contrast, other Pareto-optimal solutions are less attractive since a small improvement on one objective can lead to a significant degradation on at least one of the other objectives.

Wrist-ankle acupuncture for the treatment of acute orthopedic pain after surgery: a meta-analysis
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023 Background Wrist-ankle acupuncture (WAA) has been reported in the treatment of acute pain in orthopedic surgery. However, the effects of WAA on acute pain were controversial in the current studies.

Why the knee at 100 PeV could not be seen? [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 It is shown that a "second (iron) knee" in cosmic ray spectrum expected at energy about 100 PeV could not probably be found there. The reason is very simple: the position of the "iron knee" depends on an answer to the questions: "What do we see at 3-5 PeV? Is the knee seen at this energy associated with proton or iron primaries?"
