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 ...

Knee arthrodesis using circular external fixator in the treatment of infected knee prosthesis: case report

, 2005
A patient (68 years old and male) underwent total knee replacement because of arthrosis, but he subsequently had infection due to a wound problem. Although he underwent early debridement, antibiotherapy, and soft-tissue operation, treatment failed ...

Targeting ligament boundaries rather than alignment boundaries in augmented‐reality‐assisted total knee arthroplasty ensures comparable gait patterns between operated and contralateral limbs

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Modern personalised total knee arthroplasty (TKA) techniques aim to mimic natural knee kinematics by focusing on soft‐tissue dynamics rather than static alignment. However, a consistent definition of the optimal ligamentous balance has not yet been established.

Single‐stage revision for chronic fistulized infected total knee arthroplasty achieves infection‐free survival comparable to non‐fistulized cases

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The presence of a sinus tract in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has traditionally been considered a contraindication to single‐stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision. However, an increasing number of surgeons are now performing single‐stage revisions in this context, despite limited comparative data.

Numerical Study of the Effect of Elastomer and Cement of Stress Absorbers on the Reduction of Stresses in Tibia and Tibial Bone Analysed by Finite Element Method

Nano Biomedicine and Engineering, 2018
Metal alloys have been the materials of choice since the start of orthopaedic surgery. Orthopedic materials must fulfill the mechanical, biological and physical necessities of their proposed utilization. Knee joint is the most complex joint in human body,

The unstable knee prosthesis

Revista Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (English Edition), 2009
Abstract Prosthetic instability is the third most frequent cause for the failure of total knee replacement (TKR), which leads to between 10% and 22% of surgical revisions. In addition to individual factors such as previous instabilities or deformities, an associated neuromuscular condition, rheumatoid arthritis or obesity, the main causes for ...

A standardized surgical technique for DAIR improves treatment success rates in acute periprosthetic knee infection

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Results after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic knee joint infections (PJIs) vary widely. Although data are limited, surgeon expertise and surgical technique likely influence outcomes. Standardized DAIR performed by surgeons within a multidisciplinary team (MDT) dedicated to the treatment of

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
