The ‘over‐the‐top’ technique allows for accurate and reproducible restoration of the native tibial slope in kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty: A retrospective comparative analysis from the FP‐UCBM Knee Study Group

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A critical challenge in kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA TKA) is achieving accurate sagittal alignment of the tibial component. Correct reproduction of the native posterior tibial slope (PTS) is essential for proper posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tensioning, minimising wear of the polyethylene insert while ensuring ...

Use of Tekscan pressure sensors for measuring contact pressures in the human knee joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Tekscan pressure sensor is a common instrument to quantify in vitro tibiofemoral and patellofemoral contact pressures, which helps to understand the impact of surgical intervention such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesKnee Surgery & Related Research, 2015
It has been suggested that in the majority of patellar dislocation cases, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is disrupted with a high recurrence rate especially in female patients. Although MPFL tear is not the primary cause of instability, MPFL reconstruction is effective for stabilizing the knee and may alone prevent lateral patellar ...

Does patellar resurfacing matter in robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty with functional alignment principles?

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose While new philosophies in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aim to optimize alignment and ligament balancing, restoring the anterior compartment and understanding the consequences of patella resurfacing remain challenging. This study evaluates the functional consequences of anterior compartment restoration, with a specific focus on patella

Predicting two-year return-to-sport failure after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in patellar dislocation patients with bone abnormalities

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Purpose To develop a comprehensive and validated personalized scoring system based on anatomical characteristics to predict the probability of failure to return to sport after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in patients with patellar ...

Medial Quadriceps Tendon Femoral Ligament Reconstruction for Anatomic Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Complex

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques
The medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) refers to the primary static restraint to lateral patellar translation. Originally thought of as the medial patellofemoral ligament, anatomic studies over the past 10 years have identified the additional fibers ...

The Effects of Total Knee Replacement on the Extensor Retinaculum of the Knee

open access: yes, 2009
INTRODUCTION: Patellofemoral dysfunction following total knee replacement (TKR) is significant. Due to the intimate relationship of the femoral component and patella, aspects of knee arthroplasty such as femoral component malrotation and ...

Traumatic patellar dislocation in children : epidemiology, risk factors, the MPFL and treatment outcome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The knee joint is one of the most common injury sites in children, with the spectrum of injuries differing from those in adults. Traumatic lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is the most common serious injury; the incidence is approximately 1/1000 in ...

The biomechanics of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

open access: yes, 2014
Injury of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) occurs during patellofemoral joint (PFJ) dislocation. Reconstruction of this ligament is a common treatment for this patient population. This thesis is composed of a series of cadaveric experiments examining the MPFL.

Restoration of the trochlear peaks is unnecessary with a kinematic alignment‐optimized femoral component as under‐stuffing results in equivalent or better patient‐reported outcome scores

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Kinematic alignment (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aligns the femoral component to restore the pre‐arthritic posterior joint line, potentially altering the heights of the medial and lateral trochlear peaks. It remains unclear whether the femoral component should be adjusted to correct deviations in peak height.
