EC ORTHOPAEDICS Mini Review Role of Computer Navigation in Total Knee Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The number of total knee replacements is going to increase in coming decades. Hence there is a need for proper and accurate method of surgical techniques to avoid the complications such as instability and malalignment which leads to a secondary procedure. Use of Computer Navigation provides a more reliable source of intra operative measurement and corrections of deformity. Robotic and hand held computer navigation systems, computer-guided cutting instruments, and patient-specific cutting blocks are the rapid advancements seen recently into the field of knee replacements.

A Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis
The surgical management of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), so far, mainly revolved around arthroscopic procedures,arthroplasty (total: TKA and unicompartmental: UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Recently, another minimallyinvasive surgical treatment of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed for the management of KOA. ThePFO has been found to be useful in the manageme...
متن کاملUse of the Cusum technique for evaluation of a CT-based navigation system for total knee replacement.
Most of the early failures of total knee replacements are related to technical flaws. Conventional ancillary devices achieve good alignment in the frontal plane in only an average of 75% of total knee replacements. Computer-assisted surgery may improve the technical quality of implantation surgery. The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of computer-assisted surgery using a quality control...
متن کاملInnovations in total knee replacement: new trends in operative treatment and changes in peri-operative management
The human knee joint can sustain damage due to injury, or more usually osteoarthritis, to one, two or all three of the knee compartments: the medial femorotibial, the lateral femorotibial and the patellofemoral compartments. When pain associated with this damage is unmanageable using nonsurgical techniques, knee replacement surgery might be the most appropriate course of action. This procedure ...

INTRODUCTION Computer assisted surgery was pioneered in early 1990s. The first computer assisted surgery (CAS) total knee replacement with an imageless system was carried out in 1997. In the past 25 years, CAS has progressed from experimental in vitro studies to established in vivo surgical procedures. METHODS A comprehensive body of evidence establishing the advantages of computer assisted s...

Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery was born in the 1990s. Nowadays, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery is used for transpedicular screw fixation and for total knee arthroplasty.Patient-specific instrumentation is one type of computer-assisted surgery based on volumetric images, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.In this article, possible applications of patient-spec...
