Patient preferences in knee prostheses.
نویسنده
چکیده
A total of 344 patients underwent bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) using a different prosthesis on each side. Four knee prostheses were used: anterior and posterior cruciate-retaining (ACL-PCL), posterior cruciate-retaining (PCL), medial or lateral pivot (MLP), and posterior cruciate-substituting (PS). All patients had good or excellent results. The range of movement, relief from pain, alignment, and stability did not vary among any of the prostheses. Forty-one of 46 patients (89%) preferred the ACL-PCL to the PS knee and 27 of 35 patients (77%) the MLP knee to the PS knee. Of the patients with an ACL-PCL knee on one side and a MLP on the other, an equal number preferred each type. The MLP knee was preferred to the PCL by 34 (79%) patients. PS and PCL knees were preferred equally. Patients with bilateral TKRs preferred retention of both their cruciate ligaments or substitution with a medial or lateral pivot prosthesis.

Investigating the Impact of Knee Prosthesis in Patients’ Body on Radiation Dose Distribution: A Monte Carlo Approach
Introduction: Metal prostheses in patients affect the radiotherapy dose distribution. Metal prostheses with high density and atomic number cause major changes in scattering and attenuation of radiation. The present study aims to assess the impact of metal knee prosthesis with various dimensions and materials on radiotherapy dose distribution. Material and Methods: In this research, the Varian L...
متن کاملPreservation of kinematics with posterior cruciate-, bicruciate- and patient-specific bicruciate-retaining prostheses in total knee arthroplasty by using computational simulation with normal knee model
OBJECTIVES Preservation of both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to near-normal post-operative joint mechanics and improved knee function. We hypothesised that a patient-specific bicruciate-retaining prosthesis preserves near-normal kinematics better than standard off-the-shelf posterior cruciate-retaining and bicruciate-retaining prostheses in...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no consensus regarding the clinical relevance of gender-specific prostheses in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We summarize the current best evidence in a comparison of clinical and radiographic outcomes between gender-specific prostheses and standard unisex prostheses in female patients. METHODS We used the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Science Citation Index, and Sc...
