Open AccessChange of joint-line convergence angle should be considered for accurate alignment correction in high tibial osteotomy
The alignment correction after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is made both by bony correction and soft-tissue correction around the knee. Change of the joint-line convergence angle (JLCA) represents the soft-tiss...

Open AccessIs lower tourniquet pressure during total knee arthroplasty effective? A prospective randomized controlled trial
Higher tourniquet pressures may be associated with an increased risk of complications. We aimed to determine (1) whether a lower tourniquet pressure [systolic blood pressure (SBP) + 120 mmHg] is as effective a...

After early release of tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty, should it be reinflated or kept deflated? A randomized trial
This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of reinflation of the tourniquet after its early release in TKA compared to early release alone, in terms of surgical field visualization and operative time....

The use of navigation in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy can improve tibial slope maintenance and reduce radiation exposure
We sought to determine the usefulness and the disadvantages of the navigation in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) compared to the conventional technique, in terms of target coronal alignment...
