Sports After Total Knee Prosthesis
2014Sports Injuries: Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment and Rehabilitation covers the whole field of sports injuries and is an up-to-date guide for the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of sports injuries. The work pays detailed attention to biomechanics and injury prevention, examines the emerging treatment role of current strategies and evaluates ...

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

Instrumented Knee Prosthesis for Force and Kinematics Measurements
IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2013In this work, we present the general concept of an instrumented smart knee prosthesis for in-vivo measurement of forces and kinematics. This system can be used for early monitoring of the patient after implantation and prevent possible damage to the ...

Infection of a Knee Prosthesis With Tsukamurella Species
Southern Medical Journal, 1999A 69-year-old woman with a history of multiple infections of a postoperative wound from a knee replacement was diagnosed with an infection with Tsukamurella sp. The infection was treated with a course of vancomycin and pipercillin/tazobactam, followed by a course of clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and ethambutol. The patient responded well.

Total Knee Replacement with the Kodama-Yamamoto Knee Prosthesis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979Since 1970, 170 knees have been operated upon using the Kodama-Yamamoto knee prosthesis. Of these 127 had the revised Mark-II prosthesis and of this group 91 cases have been followed for more than a year. Interim results suggest that the total knee score has improved. on the average, from 38 points preoperatively to 74 points after one year.
