A lateral skin incision reduces peripatellar dysaesthesia after knee surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a series of 64 ligamentous injuries of the knee, 33 were explored through a medial incision and 31 through a long lateral incision. Sensibility of the skin, the occurrence of neuromas, and discomfort during kneeling were evaluated three and six years postoperatively. The lateral incisions produced less dysaesthesia, fewer neuromas and less discomfort on kneeling.

متن کاملA lateral approach defect closure technique with deep fascia flap for valgus knee TKA
BACKGROUND Routinely, we use a midline skin incision and lateral parapatellar approach of the knee to perform valgus knee TKA (total knee arthroplasty). It is generally very difficult to close the lateral capsular defect after valgus knee TKA, especially for severe valgus and flexion knee deformity. METHODS We describe a new surgical technique to close the lateral capsular defect with a deep ...
