Range of motion predictability after total knee arthroplasty with medial pivot prosthesis

Range of motion predictability after total knee arthroplasty with medial pivot prosthesis☆

OBJECTIVE To assess whether there the final range of motion (ROM) results achieved by patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with prosthesis using Medial Pivot design are predictable. METHODS Between January and August of 2014, 155 patients with primary osteoarthritis of knee who underwent TKA using the prosthesis ADVANCE® Medial Pivot were prospectively assessed. All ROM measures ...

factors influencing range of motion after total knee arthroplasty

Medial pivot knee in primary total knee arthroplasty.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a medial pivot design was developed in order to mimic normal knee kinematics; the highly congruent medial compartment implant should improve clinical results and decrease contact stresses. Clinical and radiographic mid-term outcomes are satisfactory, but we need other studies to evaluate long-term results and indications for unusual cases.

Factors Influencing Range of Motion after Total Knee Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND The range of motion after a total knee arthroplasty is an important clinical outcome affecting the life of the patient. The aim of this study was to determine the most important factors influencing the postoperative knee flexion in Tehran, Iran. METHODS Between July 2007 and January 2009, on 95 cases of total knee joint replacement (89 patients), who were followed for 1 year postop...

Target range of motion for rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty

Objective: Postoperative knee range of motion (ROM) is among the most important factors influencing patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to clarify the time course of improvement in knee ROM up to 12 months after TKA, including intraoperative knee ROM after implantation, and to clarify a target ROM for rehabilitation after TKA. Patients and Met...
