Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to ...

Revision of the Gunston polycentric knee arthroplasty with total knee arthroplasty
Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2020 The Gunston polycentric knee arthroplasty, first designed and performed by Frank Gunston in 1971, is the first prosthesis considering the natural knee biomechanics. Although the polycentric knee arthroplasty showed encouraging results to relieve pain and
