Lancet, The, 2012 Knee-replacement surgery is frequently done and highly successful. It relieves pain and improves knee function in people with advanced arthritis of the joint. The most common indication for the procedure is osteoarthritis. We review the epidemiology of and risk factors for knee replacement.

Neurology, 2014 Wilbrand and Saenger(1) studied optic chiasms after unilateral enucleation, noting inferonasal crossing fibers curved anteriorly into the contralateral optic nerve (Wilbrand knee; figure, A). This explains contralateral superotemporal visual field defects (junctional scotomas) with optic nerve lesions at the chiasmal junction.
