Integrating preoperative gait kinematics into total knee arthroplasty planning: Associations with intraoperative robotic laxities and prediction of postoperative function [PDF]
Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is evolving from static measures towards function‐focused, robotic‐assisted personalisation. Integrating knee kinematics captured under weight‐bearing conditions may add clinically relevant information, but remains ...

How reliable are surgeons at assessing soft-tissue laxities in robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty?: a prospective, multicentre surgeon-blinded study [PDF]
Aims: Regardless of one’s alignment philosophy and belief in ligament releases, the precise estimation of soft-tissue laxities is crucial in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Functional knee positioning in patients with valgus deformity undergoing image-based robotic total knee arthroplasty: Surgical technique [PDF]
Background: Functional knee positioning (FKP) represents an innovative personalized approach for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that reconstructs a three-dimensional alignment based on the optimal balance of soft tissue and bony structures, but it has ...

Total knee arthroplasty after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of image-based robotic technology and functional alignment [PDF]
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with prior anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) presents unique challenges due to altered knee kinematics, residual instability, and fixation implants that may interfere with implant ...

Addressing sagittal plane imbalance in primary total knee arthroplasty: functional alignment outperforms kinematic and mechanical alignment techniques [PDF]
Aims: Sagittal plane imbalance (SPI), or asymmetry between extension and flexion gaps, is an important issue in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare SPI between kinematic alignment (KA), mechanical alignment (MA), and ...

Valgus knee deserves personalized total knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Valgus accounts for 18.5% of patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Following a mechanical alignment (MA) surgical technique, these patients have historically been more challenging than their varus counterparts.

Ultrasound can assess soft tissue laxity in osteoarthritic knees and after total knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Purpose Peripheral knee laxity is commonly assessed through clinical examination and stress radiographs, both before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Which tibial implantation site for the deep medial collateral ligament should be chosen to control anteromedial rotatory instability of the knee? [PDF]
Purpose Conventional techniques (medial collateral ligament + posterior oblique ligament reconstructions), such as those by Lind and LaPrade, do not fully restore native knee stability in severe medial injuries.

Robotic quantification of the mechanical effect of corrective manoeuvres for intraoperative extension deficiency in total knee arthroplasty: A cadaveric study [PDF]
Purpose Intraoperative extension deficiency (IED) may arise after trial component implantation during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a condition conceptually distinct from preoperative fixed flexion contracture (FFC). This study utilised a robotic system
