Knee and Hip Joint Replacement Surgery in a Patient with Ochronotic Arthropathy: Surgical Tips

Ochronosis or black joints disorder is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of homogentisic acidoxidase. Orthopaedic manifestations are common and mostly involve spine and large joints such as knee and hip.Arthropathy is progressive and will eventually leads to arthroplasty. Not being familiar with this disorder might lead todevastating complications. We present a 57 year-ol...

Mechanics of the knee and problems in reconstructive surgery.

Static force transmission at the knee is analysed using measurements from radiographs showing the position of the line of body weight and also the bones of the knee in their correct orientation during function. With this technique it is possible to suggest values for a variety of forces acting at the knee. During function the degree of knee flexion is not as important as the angle that the thig...

Three-dimensional pattern of knee movement in patients with gonarthrosis.

BACKGROUND The main goal of this study was to estimate the variability of gait parameters in patients diagnosed with arthroplasty of the knee joint. Angular changes of the knee joint in three planes, and spatio-temporal parameters of gait were analysed. MATERIALS AND METHODS A three-dimensional analysis of locomotion patterns was carried out using the Vicon 250 system in 33 patients aged 48-7...
