Unrestricted kinematic alignment in varus total knee arthroplasty outperforms mechanical alignment in CPAK I phenotype, but yields comparable outcomes in CPAK IV: A retrospective analysis from the FP‐UCBM Knee Study Group

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare clinical outcomes in varus‐aligned patients undergoing cruciate‐retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with mechanical alignment (MA) versus unrestricted kinematic alignment (KA). The hypothesis was that KA would yield superior outcomes, and that preserving joint line obliquity—regardless of alignment technique—would be ...

Current Concepts of Local Antibiotic Delivery in Bone and Joint Infections—A Narrative Review of Techniques and Clinical Experiences

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Prophylactic measures and treatment strategies of implant-related bone and joint infections frequently involve the local delivery of high doses of antimicrobial drugs into the affected bone tissue or articular space in addition to the use of systemic ...

Comparative diagnostic accuracy of next‐generation sequencing in different specimen types for periprosthetic joint infection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis suggests that NGS of sonicate fluid demonstrates higher sensitivity compared to NGS of synovial fluid or periprosthetic tissue, while maintaining strong specificity, making it valuable for detecting infection. Periprosthetic tissue NGS demonstrated exceptional specificity and acceptable sensitivity, making it valuable for confirming ...

Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty reduces patellar tilt: A retrospective study

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral kinematics is crucial for patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A postoperative patellar tilt greater than 5° has been associated with inferior clinical outcomes. While a femoral component external rotation beyond 3° is generally protective against patellar tilt, personalized alignment may not ...

Bacterial biofilm associated with a case of capsular contracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications of implant-based breast augmentation. Despite its prevalence, the etiology of capsular contracture remains controversial although the surface texture of the breast implant, the anatomical ...

Unrestricted kinematic alignment on the sagittal plane: Posterior tibial slope and combined flexion do not have boundaries to respect in terms of short‐term clinical outcomes and safety

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining traction as a surgical philosophy. True personalization, however, must encompass not only the coronal plane but also the sagittal and axial planes. This study evaluates influence of the Tibial Slope (PTS) and combined flexion (CF) on outcomes in TKA performed using ...

Prior osteosynthesis—unlike osteotomy—raises revision risk after total knee arthroplasty, predominantly via periprosthetic infection

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Previous knee surgery is discussed as a risk factor for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet most reports do not distinguish between osteotomy and osteosynthesis. The German Operationen‐ und Prozedurenschlüssel (OPS)‐based classification was used to compare the impact of these procedures on implant survival, mortality and complications ...
