Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Knee arthrodesis with modular megaprosthesis as salvage procedure for the limb following in a patient with an infected knee tumor prosthesis: A case report

Trauma Case Reports
Introduction: The management of periprosthetic knee infections is a complex event, especially in the context of megaprostheses. An accepted option in these cases is knee arthrodesis, aiming to salvage the limb with acceptable and pain-free functionality.

Step‐by‐step insight into gait analysis: A narrative review unlocking knee biomechanics

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Gait analysis offers a powerful tool for clinical and orthopaedic decision‐making. By quantifying spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters during walking, it provides a dynamic window into joint function that static imaging cannot capture.

Walking kinematics in young children with limb loss using early versus traditional prosthetic knee prescription protocols.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The traditional treatment protocol for young children with congenital or acquired amputations at or proximal to the knee prescribes a prosthesis without a working knee joint, based in part on the assumption that a child learning to walk cannot properly ...

Unrestricted kinematic alignment on the sagittal plane: Posterior tibial slope and combined flexion do not have boundaries to respect in terms of short‐term clinical outcomes and safety

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining traction as a surgical philosophy. True personalization, however, must encompass not only the coronal plane but also the sagittal and axial planes. This study evaluates influence of the Tibial Slope (PTS) and combined flexion (CF) on outcomes in TKA performed using ...

Efficacy of functional alignment in total knee arthroplasty in restoring in vivo cruciate ligament forces and knee kinematics compared with mechanical alignment

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The impact of coronal alignment on cruciate ligament forces in bicruciate‐retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unclear. We aimed to clarify in vivo cruciate ligament forces and knee kinematics among mechanically aligned (MA) and functionally aligned (FA) TKAs and normal knees.

Acute, recurrent total knee dislocation: Polyethylene dislocation and malreduction

Arthroplasty Today, 2015
A 62-year-old man underwent total knee arthroplasty using a mobile-bearing prosthesis. Four days post-operatively the patient experienced the first of several acute knee dislocations. Closed reduction was performed at an outside hospital a total of three

Development and Examination of a Knee Prosthesis Geometry [PDF]

, 2019
The necessity for the knee prosthesis is confirmed by the large increase in the number of patients suffering from arthrosis, which is a present-day disease. Despite this need, there doesn’t exist an optimal knee prosthesis.

Dynamic coronal plane knee alignment: Femoral anatomy determines kinematic curve morphology, tibial anatomy determines curve position

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A single hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) angle does not reflect the biomechanics of native, arthritic or prosthetic knees. Since HKA varies throughout flexion, dynamic coronal alignment is best represented by a kinematic curve plotting HKA against the range of motion.
