Abstract Purpose This systematic review with meta‐analysis evaluates the long‐term efficacy of matrix‐assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) in terms of functional scores using scaffolds made of hyaluronic acid (HA) or collagen (C). Methods Nineteen articles met the eligibility criteria for the analysis.

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Coxiella burnetii is rare and has atypical clinical symptoms and can cause missed diagnosis. Molecular diagnostic techniques metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) and pathogen‐targeted next‐generation sequencing (ptNGS) are important tools for diagnosing C.

The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking [PDF]
Background: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing.

Design of EMG-driven Musculoskeletal Model for Volitional Control of a Robotic Ankle Prosthesis [PDF]
Existing robotic lower-limb prostheses use autonomous control to address cyclic, locomotive tasks, but they are inadequate to operate the prosthesis for daily activities that are non-cyclic and unpredictable. To address this challenge, this study aims to design a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal model for volitional control of a ...

The use of an imageless robotic system in revision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Abstract Purpose The application of robotics in revision arthroplasty particularly from unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is underexplored. The purpose of this study is to describe the surgical technique of an imageless robotic system used in the revision of UKA to TKA and to evaluate short‐ to mid‐term outcomes.

Design Optimization of an Above-Knee Prosthesis with Energy Regeneration [PDF]
Above-knee amputees who use a prosthetic leg typically have to compensate for its shortcomings with unnatural hip motions. This compensation eventually leads to adverse health issues such as arthritis.

Alignment in total knee arthroplasty : what’s in a name? [PDF]
Dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty is a well-documented phenomenon. Although many factors have been implicated, including modifiable and nonmodifiable patient factors, emphasis over the past decade has been on implant alignment and ...

Intuitive Clinician Control Interface for a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis: A Case Study
This paper presents a potential solution to the challenge of configuring powered knee-ankle prostheses in a clinical setting. Typically, powered prostheses use impedance-based control schemes that contain several independent controllers which correspond ...

Abstract Purpose Revision knee replacement (RevKR) for infection is rare but increasing. It is hypothesised that higher hospital volume reduces adverse outcomes. The aim was to estimate the association of surgical unit volume with outcomes following first, single‐stage RevKR for infection. Methods This population‐based cohort study merged data from the
