Medial Unicompartmental Osteoarthritis (MUO) of the Knee: Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR) or Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
The aim of this review article is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of total knee replacement (TKR) compared to unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in patients with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis (MUO) in terms of survival rates, revision rates and postoperative complications. The search engine was MedLine. The keywords used were: medial knee osteoarthritis. Three thousand and n...
متن کاملAnalysis of biomechanical effectiveness of valgus-inducing knee brace for osteoarthritis of knee.
The biomechanical effectiveness of a valgus-inducing knee brace was investigated for 16 patients with knee osteoarthritis (mean +/- standard deviation age 56 +/- 10 yr, height 172 +/- 9 cm, mass 83 +/- 7 kg, body mass index 27.6 +/- 4.5 kg/m(2)). At the time of investigation, all subjects had been wearing the brace for at least 4 weeks. In addition to conducting standard gait analysis, we calcu...
متن کاملAnkle rotation changes and its influences in knee osteoarthritis
Background : Biomechanical factors are known to be important in knee osteoarthritis (OA) development and progression. This study was designed to determine changes of hamstrings muscle activation, knee adduction moment and ankle rotation angle in two knee osteoarthritis (mild and moderate) and a healthy control group. Methods: 16 females (10 with mild and 6 with moderate medial knee osteoart...
متن کاملThe Effects of an Unloading Knee Brace and Insole with Subtalar Strapping for Medial Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Objectives: We evaluated whether a valgus knee brace and an insole with subtalar strapping could reduce pain and improve functional scores over 12 months in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: OA was confirmed by radiography in all patients, who were divided into three groups: exercise (n = 44), insole (n = 55), and brace (n = 19). Clinical knee functions and gait analyses w...
متن کاملClinical Data Summary Physiological Stability and Mobility for the Active Knee Without Compromise Medial Rotation Knee
Sagittal stability of the knee is believed to be of significant importance following a total knee arthroplasty. We examine three different knee designs at a minimum of twenty-four months postoperatively. Sagittal stability was measured at four degrees of flexion; 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° to examine the effect of design on mid-flexion stability. The knee designs included the rotating platform LCS de...
