The Stanmore Knee Arthrodesis Prosthesis
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2011Knee arthrodesis is most commonly performed for failed total knee arthroplasty. Conventional arthrodesis techniques are associated with a high incidence of complications and are unsuitable in cases with extensive bone loss. We report our medium-term results using a custom-made cemented knee arthrodesis prosthesis in 10 patients with a mean follow-up of

Design and Preliminary Assessment of Lightweight Swing-Assist Knee Prosthesis
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2018This paper presents the design and control of a lightweight swing assist (SA) knee prosthesis. The SA knee relies on passive stability to provide support during the stance phase of walking and incorporates a small motor and battery to actively assist the

Design of a Knee Mechanism for a Knee Disarticulation Prosthesis [PDF]
23rd Biennial Mechanisms Conference: Machine Elements and Machine Dynamics, 1994 Abstract A new knee mechanism has been designed which is a significant improvement over existing designs used in knee disarticulation (K/D) prostheses. These are prostheses used when the amputation is performed through the knee joint as opposed to amputation performed above the knee.

The human knee is a complex joint (the largest joint of the human body). During the different daily activities, this joint is exposed to significant loads and movements, may in some cases exceed the limit of the mechanical capacities of its components ...

Deep infections are among the most severe complications in total knee arthroplasty; infection rates described in recent articles range between 1 and 2%. The most important infection risk prevention measures are skin preparation, antibiotic prophylaxis, and screening and management for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

The ???Caviar??? Madreporic Knee Prosthesis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979The madreporic ("caviar") prosthesis is a hinged knee prosthesis that can be inserted without the use of cement. The surfaces of the intramedullary stems are constructed with contiguous spheres one mm in diameter. These spaces are filled by bone trabeculae and haversian bone, providing permanent biologic fixation.

An alternative bent-knee prosthesis. [PDF]
Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 1992 Prosthetic fitting in patients with below-knee amputations and concurrent knee flexion contractures poses inherent difficulties to the prosthetic rehabilitation team. The standard bent-knee prosthesis is bulky and awkward. It treats the patient functionally as a knee disarticulation and yields no potential for improving the patient's degree of ...

Knee prosthesis: biomechanics and design
2022Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total knee replacement (TKR) is, along with total hip arthroplasty, the most common prosthesis implanted by orthopedic surgeons; suffice it to say that both cover nearly 90% of orthopedic implants used. Nowadays, the global demand for TKA is increasing at an impressive rate due to the increasing prevalence of knee ...

Experience with the Variable Axis Knee Prosthesis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986In an evaluation of 245 variable axis total knee arthroplasties, no significant deterioration of results were found five to nine years after implantation. The patellar problems originally reported diminished with the use of a patellar button, widening of the flange on the femoral component and the increased use of lateral retinacular release. The local
