A systematic review of the evidence for single stage and two stage revision of infected knee replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic infection about the knee is a devastating complication that may affect between 1% and 5% of knee replacement. With over 79 000 knee replacements being implanted each year in the UK, periprosthetic infection (PJI) is set to ...

A ‘two-staged retention coverage reconstruction protocol’ for early exposed septic knee prosthesis with patellar ligament disruption [PDF]

open access: yesThe Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2014
BackgroundThe worst scenario in total knee arthroplasty is early wound breakdown causing prosthesis exposure and necrosis of the patellar ligament. We describe a new protocol for the salvage of early exposed septic knee prosthesis with patellar ligament ...

Two-stage Operations for Treating Floating Knee Periprosthetic Fractures: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesFormosan Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are challenging for orthopedic surgeons. A floating knee injury around TKA, especially with component loosening, attributes more complexities in management for the joint reconstruction ...

Structural Simulation of a Bone-Prosthesis System of the Knee Joint

open access: yesSensors, 2008
In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical operations and to reduce the ...
