Unrestricted kinematic alignment for total knee arthroplasty: a mid- to long-term follow-up non-designer single surgeon study with survival analysis [PDF]
Bone & Joint OpenAims: Kinematic alignment (KA) offers a personalized approach by restoring each patient’s pre-arthritic joint lines. Unrestricted KA (urKA) removes alignment boundaries defined by restricted KA concept, but concerns regarding reproducibility and clinical

Cement mantle thickness in total knee arthroplasty more closely associated with tibial bone density than cement viscosity: findings from a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Bone & Joint OpenAims: The aims were to assess the influence of tibial bone mineral density (BMD) and cement viscosity on cement mantle thickness in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine whether BMD is a more dominant factor than cement viscosity in achieving ...

Bi-unicondylar arthroplasty: a biomechanics and clinical outcomes study
Bone & Joint Research, 2021 Aims: Bi-unicondylar arthroplasty (Bi-UKA) is a bone and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-preserving alternative to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when the patellofemoral joint is preserved.

Impact of the diaphyseal femoral deformity on the lower limb alignment in osteoarthritic varus knees
Bone & Joint Open, 2023 Aims: The impact of a diaphyseal femoral deformity on knee alignment varies according to its severity and localization. The aims of this study were to determine a method of assessing the impact of diaphyseal femoral deformities on knee alignment for the ...

Existence of parameterized BV-solutions for rate-independent systems with discontinuous loads. [PDF]
, 2021 We study a rate-independent system with non-convex energy in the case of a time-discontinuous loading. We prove existence of the rate-dependent viscous regularization by time-incremental problems, while the existence of the so called parameterized $BV$

Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection: a validation study of blood cell ratio combinations
Bone & Joint Open, 2023 Aims: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be challenging as the symptoms are similar to other conditions, and the markers used for diagnosis have limited sensitivity and specificity.

Balanced viscosity solutions to a rate-independent system for damage [PDF]
, 2019 This article is the third one in a series of papers by the authors on vanishing-viscosity solutions to rate-independent damage systems. While in the first two papers (Knees, D. et al. 2013 Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci.23(4), 565–616; Knees, D.
