Experimental Study on an Active Knee Joint Mechanism without an External Energy Source [PDF]

, 2009
An above knee prosthesis that is used by femoral amputees has a knee joint mechanism as an alternative function of a knee. A Knee brace also has a knee joint mechanism for securing stability of a knee during the stance phase.

Imaging modalities demonstrate moderate and heterogeneous diagnostic accuracy for periprosthetic joint infection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remains uncertain. This study assessed and compared the performance of different imaging techniques for diagnosing PJI. Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies published in PubMed and Embase (1 January 2000 to 1 March 2024) was ...

Reduced length of stay and improved perioperative outcomes in robotic‐arm‐assisted TKA: A real‐world evidence study of 63,931 cases from German hospitals

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Robotic‐arm‐assisted surgery is increasingly used in orthopaedics due to its potential clinical benefits. This real‐world data analysis evaluated the impact of image‐based, robotic‐arm‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (raTKA) over non‐robotic‐arm‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (nraTKA) on perioperative outcomes in Germany based on a ...

Restoration of CPAK type in total knee arthroplasty does not lead to superior clinical outcome: A study based on arthroplasty registry data

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the pre‐ and post‐operative distribution of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty among the nine categories of the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee—CPAK classification (Aim 1). Another goal was to assess whether the clinical outcome (patient‐reported outcome and implant survival) differed between those whose CPAK ...

Preoperative age, BMI and KL grade predict long‐term functional outcome of knee arthroplasty better than CPAK‐classification

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess whether coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) is associated with functional outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and identify factors predicting functional outcomes during 10 years of follow‐up in a prospective cohort. Methods In total, 250 patients aged 65 or younger were enrolled.

Design of an efficient back-drivable semi-active above knee prosthesis

, 2011
This paper presents the design and development of an electrical above knee prosthesis, which works as a passive knee prosthesis in part of gait cycle phases and as an active knee prosthesis during other portions. During the passive mode, the system works
