Revision of tumor prosthesis of the knee joint [PDF]
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2011 BACKGROUND: Among 40 patients with primary malignant tumors of the knee joint who underwent reconstruction of the affected limb with tumor prosthesis, revision was required in 7 due to stem breakage or loosening. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In the 7 cases undergoing revision, conditions and background factors at the time of breakage, the breakage site, time

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2023 Researchers have proposed various linkage mechanisms to connect knee and ankle joints for above-knee prostheses, but most of them only offer natural walking. However, studies have shown that people assume a squatting posture during daily activities. This

ARTHROPLASTY OF THE KNEE BY THE WALLDLUS PROSTHESIS [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1968 1. Forty-five arthroplasties of the knee with the Walldius prosthesis are reported in forty-two patients, thirty-seven with rheumatoid arthritis and five with osteoarthritis. 2. There has been no structural failure of the prosthesis. 3. Sepsis required removal of the prosthesis in three cases, but arthrodesis was obtained in two of the three.

Cosmetic effect of knee joint in a knee disarticulation prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 2014 Despite numerous advantages, knee disarticulations (KDs) are rarely performed because of the anticipated KD prosthesis fitting problems that include the positioning of the knee joint distally from the KD socket. This results in lengthening of the thigh and subsequent shortening of the shank. The objective of this study was to assess the cosmetic effect
