Comparable accuracy of femoral joint line reconstruction in different kinematic and functional alignment techniques
A key part of kinematic alignment (KA) and functional alignment (FA) is to restore the natural femoral joint line, in particular the medial joint line. KA is known to reproduce the femoral joint line accuratel...

Open AccessRobotic-assisted TKA reduces surgery duration, length of stay and 90-day complication rate of complex TKA to the level of noncomplex TKA
Complex primary total knee arthroplasties (TKA) are reported to be associated with excessive episode of care (EOC) costs as compared to noncomplex procedures. The impact of robotic assistance (rTKA) on economi...

Open AccessRobotics improves alignment accuracy and reduces early revision rates for UKA in the hands of low-volume UKA surgeons
It is known that in uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) low-volume surgeons have a higher complication and revision rate than high-volume surgeons. Further, robotic-assisted UKA leads to lower early revi...

Higher revision rate for posterior cruciate-retaining than posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty for the treatment of valgus osteoarthritis
Determining the point at which a valgus deformity requires a more invasive therapy—in this case PS TKA—is surgically challenging. Retaining the posterior cruciate ligament has both advantages and disadvantages...

Improved diagnostic accuracy with the classification tree method for diagnosing low-grade periprosthetic joint infections by quantitative measurement of synovial fluid alpha-defensin and C-reactive protein
The diagnosis of low-grade periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) is challenging, because patients may present with unspecific symptoms, false-negative cultures, or marginally elevated values of serum biomarke...
