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 ...

The Bi-Unicompartmental Knee Prosthesis
2013The bi-unicompartmental knee prosthesis [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] is a system that uses two independent components, femoral and tibial, to preserve the tibial eminentia with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Although in the majority of prosthetic knee systems the cruciate ligaments are sacrificed or only the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is preserved, a ...

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.

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

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.

Parametric Modelling of a Knee Joint Prosthesis
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 1993This paper presents an approach for the establishment of a parametric model of knee joint prosthesis. Four different sizes of a commercial prosthesis are used as an example in the study. A reverse engineering technique was employed to reconstruct the prosthesis on CATIA, a CAD (computer aided design) system.
