Fabellar joint causing pain after total knee replacement.

Case report. A 68-year-old man presented in October 1988 with a four-year history of increasing pain in the right knee. The clinical and radiological signs were consistent with osteoarthritis and the symptoms did not respond to conservative measures.

Risk factors for renal dysfunction after total knee joint replacement.

Renal injury and dysfunction are serious complications after major surgery, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The objective of our study was to identify the possible risk factors for renal dysfunction after total knee joint replacement. A retrospective study was conducted among 702 consecutive primary knee joint replacements performed between January 2009 and December 2012 in...

Ligament Strains Predict Knee Motion After Total Joint Replacement

A passive forward kinematics knee model was used to predict knee motion of a total joint replacement. Given ajoint angle, maps of articular surfaces, and patient-specific ligament properties, this model predicted femorotibial contact locations based on the principle of ligament-strain minimization. The model was validated by physical experiments on a commonly implanted knee prosthesis, showing ...
