Knee replacement can be regarded as the inevitable sequel to hip replacements, the child so to speak, of a brilliant father. As with other children, there were growing pains and a somewhat troubled adolescence, but the mature adult can now stand, proud and unashamed, alongside its distinguished forebear.

Due to the absence of a unique center of rotation, the knee requires more complex geometry in its prosthetic replacement. The relative motions of the components are a combination of rolling and sliding, so causing a much more complex wear, whose debris remain trapped between articulating surfaces, producing three-body wear.

The Quest for the Replacement Knee
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1971Summary The polycentric knee arthroplasty, developed by Gunston and modified by us, has given excellent early results in 44 of 49 patients with 59 knees operated upon. Only five complications developed. The details of the operation are given. It is stressed, however, that this is a preliminary report only, since we have not followed the results of ...

Knee biomechanics and total knee replacement
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 1986The biomechanics of the knee joint provide an important basis for the rationale in the design and selection of appropriate total knee arthroplasty. This article examines knee biomechanics in terms of patient function, prosthesis design, cruciate ligament retention, alignment, and fixation of the tibial component. While design and surgical technique for

Revision of failed unicompartmental knee replacement to total knee replacement
The Knee, 2012Recent reports suggest good outcome results following unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). However, a number of authors have commented on the problem of osseous defects requiring technically difficult revision surgery. We reviewed clinical outcomes following revision total knee replacement (TKR) for failed UKR and analysed the reasons for failure ...

Revision of unicondylar knee replacements to total knee replacement
The Knee, 1995Abstract The outcome of 23 Oxford unicondylar knee replacements revised to total knee replacements was assessed with an average follow up of 4.1 years. At revision, 30% of the cases had required reconstruction for bone deficiency. Bone graft, when needed, was obtained from the revision cuts. One patient required re-revision for recurrent sepsis.

Unicompartmental knee replacement
The Knee, 2000Osteoarthritis can affect any or all of the three compartments of the knee joint. During the early stages of the disease a single compartment is frew x quently affected. Hemborg 1 has shown that the disease usually remains confined to the initially afw x fected compartment and White 2 has suggested that medial component osteoarthritis does not progress

Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2005Because of the resurgence in popularity of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, primarily as a result of the mini-incision technique, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure compared with total knee arthroplasty and upper tibial osteotomy, as well as the indications and contraindications for this procedure.

Arthrodesis of the knee after failed knee replacement
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1984Arthrodesis of the knee is sometimes needed for failed total knee replacement, but fusion can be difficult to obtain. We describe a method of arthrodesis that uses the simple, inexpensive, Portsmouth external fixator. Bony union was obtained in all six patients treated with this technique.

Total knee replacement for patients with ankylosed knees
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 2008The purpose of this study was to determine objectively the outcome of total knee replacement in patients with ankylosed knees. There were 82 patients (99 knees) with ankylosed knees who underwent total knee replacement with a condylar constrained or a posterior stabilised prosthesis. Their mean age was 41.9 years (23 to 60) and the mean follow-up was
