Computerised measurement of tibiofemoral alignment.
Tibiofemoral alignment has a direct correlation with the survival of total knee arthroplasty. Traditionally, it has been measured using a goniometer on radiographs. We describe new software which measures this alignment on scanned radiographs by automatically detecting bones in the image. Two surgeons used conventional methods and two clerical officers used the computerised routine to assess 58...
متن کاملHow tibiofemoral alignment and contact locations affect predictions of medial and lateral tibiofemoral contact forces.
Understanding degeneration of biological and prosthetic knee joints requires knowledge of the in-vivo loading environment during activities of daily living. Musculoskeletal models can estimate medial/lateral tibiofemoral compartment contact forces, yet anthropometric differences between individuals make accurate predictions challenging. We developed a full-body OpenSim musculoskeletal model wit...
متن کاملCoronal tibiofemoral subluxation: a new measurement method.
BACKGROUND Coronal tibiofemoral (CTF) subluxation is a common finding in knee osteoarthritis (OA) which can be related to poor pain scores and tibial spine impingement. In this study we describe a new method for measuring CTF subluxation and present validation of the method using cadaveric knees. METHODS A prototype software code based on the ICP mathematical algorithm was developed to measur...
متن کاملTibiofemoral alignment and the results of knee replacement.
We examine the hypothesis that a knee replacement is most likely to survive successfully if it is stable with a coronal tibiofemoral angle close to 7 degrees of valgus, the accepted normal. The records of 428 knee replacements followed up for one to nine years were analysed. The highest success rate was indeed found in those so aligned at operation and such knees were most likely to remain stab...
متن کاملMeasurement of tibiofemoral kinematics using highly accelerated 3D radial sampling.
This study investigated the use of dynamic, volumetric MRI to measure 3D skeletal motion. Ten healthy subjects were positioned on a MR-compatible knee loading device and instructed to harmonically flex and extend their knee at 0.5 Hz. The device induced active quadriceps loading with knee flexion, similar to the load acceptance phase of gait. Volumetric images were continuously acquired for 5 m...
