Navigation knee replacement [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Orthopaedics, 2008
Total knee replacement (TKR) achieves an immediate and exceptional restoration in the quality of life that is comparable only to a few other procedures. It has been suggested that the most common cause of revision TKR is error in surgical technique, from malpositioning of the components which results in a poorer post-operative outcome.

Increases in the rates of primary and revision knee replacement are reducing: a 15-year registry study across 3 continents

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica, 2020
Background and purpose — Rates of knee replacement (KR) are increasing worldwide. Based on population and practice changes, there are forecasts of a further exponential increase in primary knee replacement through to 2030, and a corresponding increase in

Variation and trends in reasons for knee replacement revision: a multi-registry study of revision burden

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica, 2021
Background and purpose — Studies describing time-related change in reasons for knee replacement revision have been limited to single regions or institutions, commonly analyze only 1st revisions, and may not reflect true caseloads or findings from other ...
