Optimal rotational positioning of tibial component in total knee arthroplasty: determined by linker surgical technique using a high definition CT
The rotational alignment of femoral and tibial components is an important determinant of the success of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The optimal rotational position of the tibial component is still unclear. ...

Temporal Value of C-Reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Elevated Preoperative C-Reactive Protein: A Matched-Pair Analysis
We aimed to determine whether temporal values of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) differ between patients with and without elevated preopera...

Safety of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty using an extramedullary referencing system: results from 2098 consecutive patients
Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. The orthopedic surgeon must, therefore, decide whether bilateral simultaneous TKA is a safe...

Prevention of pseudo-patella baja during total knee arthroplasty
Pseudo-patella baja (PPB) is a surgical complication that can arise from total knee arthroplasty and occurs when the patella tendon is not shortened but the level of the femorotibial joint line is elevated. Th...

Infrapatellar fat pad preservation reduces wound complications after minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty
The aim of this study was to determine whether pain intensity and wound complication rates differ between patients with and without preservation of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) after minimally invasive tot...

Open AccessDesign modifications of high-flexion TKA do not improve short term clinical and radiographic outcomes
The prosthesis of contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been modified to provide a more familiar environment for higher flexion angle of the replaced knee. The design modifications continue based on e...

Soft tissue laxity should be considered to achieve a constant polyethylene thickness during total knee arthroplasty
In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the gap expansion effect by soft tissue laxity and bone resection amount influence directly on the proper gap size and ideal polyethylene insert thickness. In this study, we h...

Physiologic bone remodeling in medial aspect of proximal tibia after under-release of medial soft tissue during total knee arthroplasty
This study was undertaken to investigate the incidence and to identify predictors of physiologic remodeling in the medial aspect of the proximal tibia in varus knees after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Outcomes of long retrograde intramedullary nailing for periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fractures following total knee arthroplasty
The treatment of periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fractures following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is challenging because of osteopenia and the limited bone available for distal fixation. The purpose of t...

The comparative efficacies of intra-articular and IV tranexamic acid for reducing blood loss during total knee arthroplasty
Reduction in blood loss during surgery stabilizes hemodynamic status and aids in recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this study, the authors examined whether different administration routes of tra...

An alternative method to create extramedullary references in total knee arthroplasty
Historically, extramedullary techniques have focused on finding the femoral head center and referred mainly to the anterosuperior iliac spine (the FHC method) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of t...

Mechanical axis-derived femoral component rotation in extramedullary total knee arthroplasty: a comparison between femoral transverse axis and transepicondylar axis
Correct rotational alignment of the femoral component is paramount to the success of total knee arthroplasty, but debate continues as to which method is the most reliable. The purpose of this study was to eval...

Ankle morbidity after autogenous Achilles tendon harvesting for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Although several alternative autografts with reduced morbidity of harvest site have been introduced, no donor site is free of morbidity concerns. The authors report on ankle status after autogenous Achilles te...

Synchronisation of tibial rotational alignment with femoral component in total knee arthroplasty
The rotational axis of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty described by Insall is generally accepted, but rotational mismatch between the femoral and the tibial components can occur because the al...
