An Objective Functional Assessment of Knee Using Flexible Electrogoniometry and the Strathclyde University Data Logging System (sudals) for Use in Total Knee Arthroplasty (tka)
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Among the various commercially available data collecting system for use with a flexible electrogoniometer, there is currently a paucity of a user friendly system. What is required is a system where by clicking a single button a user can remotely record and transmit the information pertaining to the flexion/extension of the knee during activities of daily living (ADL) via a Bluetooth wireless connection. Such a device could be used to quantify the knee joint motion outside the gait laboratory, efficiently, by clinical staff at low cost and hence would be suitable for use in multi-centre clinical trials of TKA.

INTRODUCTION The rationale for a user-friendly system of flexible electrogoniometers has been previously established and the Strathclyde University data logging system (SUDALS) together with flexible electrogoniometers has been reported to be an accurate and reliable system for measuring the functional outcomes of the knee during various activities of daily living (ADL) [1]. However, prior to r...
متن کاملKnee Fusion or Above-The-Knee Amputation after Failed Two-Stage Reimplantation Total Knee Arthroplasty
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Control of infection after a failed two-stage TKA is not always possible, and the resolution of infection may require an above-knee amputation (AKA) or a the-knee (KF). The purpose of this review is to determine which treatment method (AKA or KF) yields better function and ambulatory status for patients...

Background: Due to the obvious differences in the natural course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA),different functional outcomes might be expected after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in these distinct patients. Althoughseveral studies have reported the objective outcome of TKA in RA and OA patients, few studies have compared postoperativepatient-satisfaction levels.Methods: I...
متن کاملComparison of Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional and Patient-Specific Instrumentation
Background: Recently, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems have been developed in order to increase theaccuracy of component positioning during total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the findings of previous studies arecontroversial in this regard. In the current randomized clinical study, the outcomes of computer tomography (CT)-basedPS (patient specific)-guided TK...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopedic surgery, providing high patient satisfaction rate. As a result, the number of patients undergoing TKA is increasing in number every year and more patients would be inclined to have the operation in near future . The demand for TKA is expected to grow 673% between 2005 and 2030. Knee surgeons are using mo...
