چکیده

Mechanical alignment with conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) instruments often requires collateral ligament releases, which result in a high prevalence of adduction and reverse axial rotation (external rotation) of the tibial component during knee flexion with a variety of component designs. We used a radiographic image-matching technique to determine the contact kinematics during standing and kneeling at 90 degrees and maximum flexion in a series of 35 patients in which a new image-guided, custom cutting block system was used to kinematically align a cruciate-retaining prosthesis with the intent of restoring the 3 kinematic axes of the knee. The kinematically aligned prosthesis had a minimal prevalence of adduction (3%) and reverse axial rotation (8.5%). The anteroposterior contact positions of the lateral and medial femoral condyles did not edge load the tibial liner. The moderate association between abduction and internal rotation, the degree of knee flexion, and the contact position of the medial femoral condyle suggest that abduction was not a sign of lift-off of the medial femoral condyle, but the result of the medial femoral condyle moving up the anterior slope of the tibial liner. These more normal contact kinematics were achieved without release of the collateral ligaments or lateral retinaculum. In contrast to mechanical alignment with conventional surgical techniques, the use of kinematic alignment with custom-fit cutting guides and a cruciate-retaining, symmetric medial and lateral femoral-tibial bearing surface minimizes the undesirable consequences of adduction and reverse axial rotation (external rotation).

Objective Alteration of scapular position and motion is called scapular dyskinesis. Scapular dyskinesis is a common clinical problem. Strength of shoulder girdle muscles is important in shoulder motions and stability, so their weakness may lead to scapular dyskinesis. The aim of this study was to compare the maximum voluntary isometric force of shoulder girdle movements in subjects with and wit...

Appropriateness of Tibial Rotation for Isolation of the Medial and Lateral Hamstrings

Background. It is unclear whether the clinical use of tibial rotation to measure the strength of the medial hamstrings and lateral hamstrings in isolation is based on sound scientific evidence or is simply based on anatomical features. Objectives. To verify the appropriateness of tibial rotation for isolation of the medial hamstrings and lateral hamstrings, the participants performed neutral r...

BACKGROUND Clinical consequences of alignment errors in total knee replacement (TKR) have led to the rigorous evaluation of surgical alignment techniques. Rotational alignment in the transverse plane has proven particularly problematic, with errors due to component malalignment relative to bone anatomic landmarks and an overall mismatch between the femoral and tibial components' relative positi...
