Background Severe arthritis of the knee is a disabling condition, with over 50,000 knee replacements performed each year in the UK. Isolated patellofemoral joint arthritis occurs in over 10% of these patients with the treatment options being ...

Two cases of deliberate implant mismatch in knee arthroplasty
Cases: Knee arthroplasty is increasingly common with good clinical results. However, there is a cohort of patients whose native knee anatomy may not marry well with standard implants.

Influence of Rotator Cuff Integrity on Loading and Kinematics Before and After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty [PDF]
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has become a very common procedure for shoulder joint replacement, even for scenarios where an anatomical reconstruction would traditionally be used. In this study, we investigate joint reaction forces and scapular kinematics for rotator cuff tears of different tendons with and without a reverse prosthesis. Available

Do Adults Undergoing Minimally Invasive Quadriceps-Sparing Total Knee Arthroplasty Have Less of a Risk of Developing a Postoperative Deep Venous Thrombosis as Compared to Patients Undergoing a Standard Medial Parapatellar Total Knee Arthroplasty? [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this selective EBM review is to determine whether or not “Do adults undergoing minimally invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee arthroplasty have less of a risk of developing a postoperative deep venous thrombosis as compared ...

Abstract Purpose Alignment strategies in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have predominantly emphasized coronal alignment in extension, with minimal focus on dynamic alignment during flexion. This study aims to identify the predictors of the intraoperative robotic hip–knee–ankle angle at 90° of flexion (rHKA‐90F) and assess its clinical significance in ...

Fracture of the tibial baseplate in bicompartmental knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Introduction. Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) addresses combined medial and patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis, which is relatively common, and has been proposed as a bridge between unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Abstract Purpose Robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and new alignment principles are transforming traditional implant positioning, not only in the coronal plane but also in the sagittal and axial planes. The impact of differences between a patient's native tibial slope (TS) and distal femoral flexion (DFF) compared to the final implant ...

Tibial Implant Fixation in TKA Worth A Revision? -- How to Avoid Stress-Shielding Even for Stiff Metallic Implants [PDF]
In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) force is transmitted into the tibia by a combined plate-stem device along with cemented or cementless stem fixation. The present work analyzes this force transmission in finite element simulations with the main aim to avoid reported postsurgical bone density reduction as a consequence of a reduced tibial bone loading ...

Pain Coping Skills Training for Patients Who Catastrophize About Pain Prior to Knee Arthroplasty: A Multisite Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pain catastrophizing has been identified as a prognostic indicator of poor outcome following knee arthroplasty. Interventions to address pain catastrophizing, to our knowledge, have not been tested in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
