Distal femoral replacement in complex revision knee arthroplasty
Revision knee arthroplasty is often complicated by the presence of bone loss, making the use of conventional revision implants impossible, due to inadequate bone stock and ligamentous stability. Distal femoral replacement, although traditionally was developed for salvage surgeries for bone tumours, plays an important role in revision surgeries of ...

Which knee replacement do the patients forget? Unicondylar or total knee arthroplasty
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine which type of knee arthroplasty is easier to forget by comparing levels of joint awareness evaluated with the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) after unicondylar versus total knee arthroplasty. Methods: Patients who underwent either unicondylar or total knee arthroplasty due to primary gonarthrosis were ...
