Postoperative Activity and Knee Function of Patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Sensor-Based Monitoring Study

open access: yes, 2023
Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are increasingly being used to assess knee function. The aim of the study was to record patients’ activity levels and to detect new parameters for knee function in the early postoperative phase after TKA.

Understanding the development of and theory behind the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee classification: Important concepts for contemporary total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesJournal of Joint Surgery and Research
The Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification provides a standardized framework for characterizing constitutional knee alignment and joint line obliquity, independent of arthritic deformity.

Prior anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Comparable outcomes but reduced knee flexion after robotic functionally aligned total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is technically demanding and has been associated with higher complication rates. This study aimed to evaluate whether patients with prior ACLR undergoing image‐based robotic‐assisted TKA performed under functional alignment (FA) principles achieve ...

Patients return to work sooner after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty than after total knee arthroplasty

open access: yes, 2020
Purpose: It is not yet known if unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) patients are more likely to return to work sooner or have improved ability to work (i.e., workability) than total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.

Joint‐specific measures improve risk adjustment in total knee arthroplasty: A machine learning approach

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Accurate risk adjustment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential for outcome prediction and quality assessment. Most existing prediction models rely solely on patient demographics and comorbidities and do not account for joint‐specific pathology.

Tibia‐first, gap‐balanced patient‐specific alignment in total knee arthroplasty achieves better ligament balance than mechanical, kinematic and functional alignment strategies

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study evaluates four different alignment techniques to assess total knee arthroplasty (TKA) balance. Methods A prospective cohort of 400 patients undergoing primary robotic‐assisted cruciate‐retaining TKA was analysed. The Velys TKA robotic system collects a balance curve that enables the surgeon to intraoperatively analyse the ...

Functional positioning in robotic patello-femoral arthroplasty: a step-by-step technique

open access: yesSICOT-J
Patello-femoral arthroplasty (PFA) is an effective treatment option for isolated patello-femoral osteoarthritis. However, challenges remain regarding implant positioning and patellar tracking.

The Application of Telemedicine in Surgery

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
This figure provides an overview of the content presented in this article. Telemedicine is integrated throughout the entire surgical workflow, with distinct applications across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. These applications are enabled by a suite of supporting technologies, while the associated implementation challenges ...

Kinematic alignment technique for total hip and knee arthroplasty

open access: yes, 2018
Conventional techniques for hip and knee arthroplasty have led to good long-term clinical outcomes, but complications remain despite better surgical precision and improvements in implant design and quality.

Coronal native limb alignment: establishing reporting standards and aligning measurements of key angles

open access: yesEFORT Open Reviews
The main goal of a successful total knee arthroplasty is to relieve pain and restore function. While mechanical alignment provides excellent long-term implant survivorship, clinical and functional outcomes remain less than ideal.
