Distal femoral osteotomy versus lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty for isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis with intra-articular and extra-articular deformity: a propensity score-matched analysis
PurposeLateral unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) and distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) represent surgical solutions in cases of valgus malalignment...
-
Radiographic findings involved in knee osteoarthritis progression are associated with pain symptom frequency and baseline disease severity: a population-level analysis using deep learning
PurposeTo (1) develop a deep-learning (DL) algorithm capable of producing limb-length and knee-alignment measurements, and (2) determine the...

Mesenchymal stem cell implantation provides short-term clinical improvement and satisfactory cartilage restoration in patients with knee osteoarthritis but the evidence is limited: a systematic review performed by the early-osteoarthritis group of ESSKA-European knee associates section
PurposeImplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a potential cell-based modality for cartilage repair. Currently, its clinical use largely...

Osteoporosis is associated with varus deformity in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study
BackgroundVarus deformity of the knee is a common pathological characteristic in knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and not enough attention has been given...

Coronal tibiofemoral subluxation under valgus stress force radiography is useful for evaluating postoperative coronal tibiofemoral subluxation in mobile-bearing UKA
PurposeCoronal tibiofemoral subluxation (CTFS) is considered a controversial and potential contraindication to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty...
-
Small change in the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty improves early postoperative functional outcomes
IntroductionThe optimal lower-limb alignment after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate...

Comparison of different degrees of varus deformity correction with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: a retrospective study over 5 years
ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and complications associated with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) in the...
-
Preserving coronal knee alignment of the knee (CPAK) in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty correlates with superior patient-reported outcomes
BackgroundThe optimal alignment target for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remains controversial, and literature suggests that its impact on...
-
Comparison of the plantar pressure distribution and mechanical alignment in patients with varus knee osteoarthritis following high tibial osteotomy
PurposeThe changes in the lower limb alignment were vitally important after high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Therefore, the purpose of present study was...
-
Constitutional alignment predicts medial ligament balancing in mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty for varus knees
PurposeThe aim of this study was to identify if constitutional alignment and preoperative radiologic parameters determined whether medial gap...
-
Gender-specific distribution of knee morphology according to CPAK and functional phenotype classification: analysis of 8739 osteoarthritic knees prior to total knee arthroplasty using artificial intelligence
PurposeOsteoarthritis of the knee is commonly associated with malalignment of the lower limb. Recent classifications, as the Coronal Plane Alignment...

Predictive factors for recurrence after lower limb deformity correction in hypophosphatemic rickets
BackgroundSurgical treatment for severe lower limb deformities in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets has shown satisfactory outcomes. However,...
-
Using sequential bone cutting to titrate soft tissue balance in total knee arthroplasty effectively minimizes soft tissue release
BackgroundAchieving soft tissue balance while maintaining limb alignment within acceptable boundaries is crucial for successful total knee...
