Geometric Knee Replacement Arthroplasty Indications for Operation and Preliminary Experience

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1973
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Geometric total knee replacement arthroplasty is not recommended for general use until a longer follow-up is available. The early results of the operation are encouraging enough, however, to warrant further clinical trial. Failures of previous surgery have been salvaged successfully, and severe conditions of the knee joint have

Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasties

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985
Simultaneous and sequential operations for bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKA) for arthritis were examined for determination of the relative safety of each method. The postoperative morbidity was analyzed in three groups of patients who were similar with respect to age, sex, type of arthritis, preoperative range of motion, and postoperative ...

Distal femoral replacement in periprosthetic fracture around total knee arthroplasty

Injury, 2014
Total knee arthroplasty is a common orthopaedic procedure in the UK; consequently, revision surgery and periprosthetic fractures are increasing in incidence. Strategies for management of these cases include non-operative strategies, internal plate fixation and revision of the distal femoral component.

Customised hinged knee replacements as a salvage procedure for failed total knee arthroplasty

The Knee, 2004
Failure of knee arthroplasty can lead to significant pain and functional disability. In a small number of patients with fracture, sepsis or massive bone loss they are considered for arthrodesis or above knee amputation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the results and complications of using customised hinged knee replacements in their place.

Stemmed revision arthroplasty for aseptic loosening of total knee replacement

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1985
Fifty-three failed knee replacements were revised using minimally constrained implants with smooth uncemented intramedullary stems and metal-backed tibial components. Polymethylmethacrylate was used only to replace lost bone near the surface of the implant.

Revision total knee arthroplasty after failed unicompartmental knee replacement

2012
The place of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in the management of unicompartmental knee arthritis is still under debate. Some advantages of UKA over tricompartmental knee replacement were highlighted: better proprioception due to preservation of the cruciate ligaments, higher range of motion, faster functional recovery (1), lower rate of ...

Total Knee Arthroplasty Following Prior Unicompartmental Replacement

2005
The majority of failed UKAs are revised to TKA. If appropriate indications are met, liner exchange or revision to another UKA are possible, but in general, these procedures have poor longevity and a higher failure rate. Revisions of failed UKA to TKA appear to have a slightly inferior outcome when compared to primary TKA but better outcome than ...

Allografting in total knee replacement arthroplasty.

Seminars in arthroplasty, 1993
Revision, and complicated primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), may present with significant structural bony defects. Allograft offers blocks of material that can be shaped to the defect. The opportunity to gain a biological bond may theoretically enhance loading conditions and enhance any subsequent surgery.

MANAGEMENT OF THE PATELLA DURING REVISION TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT ARTHROPLASTY

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1998
Managing the patella and balancing the patellofemoral joint space is one of the most difficult aspects of performing a primary total knee replacement (TKR). The situation is compounded in the revision situation. Unfortunately, an otherwise well-performed TKR will fail because of problems with the patella or the extensor mechanism.

[Computer-assisted preoperative planning of knee replacement arthroplasty].

Revue de chirurgie orthopedique et reparatrice de l'appareil moteur, 1999
The general configuration of replaced knee is difficult to anticipate because of the large number of geometrical parameters related to morphology, prosthetic implants and pre-operative choices (such as ligament release). This article features the studies achieved in order to create a decision aiding computer tool dedicated to total knee prosthesis ...
