Kinematic Analysis of a Posterior-stabilized Knee Prosthesis
Chinese Medical Journal, 2015 Background: The goal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to restore knee kinematics. Knee prosthesis design plays a very important role in successful restoration.

Modeling and Control of Knee-Ankle-Toe Active Transfemoral Prosthesis
IEEE Access, 2020 The main joints of lower limb are hip, knee, ankle, and toe. Because of accidents or diseases, some people have to amputate. Wearing prosthesis can help them return to normal life.

The Warwick patellofemoral arthroplasty trial : a randomised clinical trial of total knee arthroplasty versus patellofemoral arthroplasty in patients with severe arthritis of the patellofemoral joint [PDF]
, 2011 Background Severe arthritis of the knee is a disabling condition, with over 50,000 knee replacements performed each year in the UK. Isolated patellofemoral joint arthritis occurs in over 10% of these patients with the treatment options being ...

Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: One Mobile-Bearing and One Fixed-Bearing
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2001 We compared the early results of mobile-bearing knee prosthesis with fixed-bearing knee prosthesis in 16 patients who had one-stage, sequential, bilateral replacements.

Sex-specific versus standard posterior cruciate-substituting total knee prosthesis [PDF]
The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2021 BackgroundThe introduction of sex-specific (SS) knee prosthesis designs was an approach to offer more sizing options and is based on the anatomic sex differences. These SS components were though to provide better fitting to female femora and consequently

Treatment of the exposed knee prosthesis [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1987 Ten knees with early tissue breakdown after knee arthroplasty resulting in exposed prostheses were treated with different plastic surgical techniques. Six knees were successfully covered: four using a gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flap, one using a fasciocutaneous flap, and one using split-skin grafts. Four knees failed: two using local skin flaps and

The mechanics of the knee and prosthesis design [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1978 The mechanisms controlling and limiting movement and serving to transmit load between the femur and the tibia are discussed. Having accounted for the transmission of all components of force and couple across the joint and noted the load-bearing role of the menisci, some principles which might guide the design of knee prostheses are deduced.
