The Effects of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents in Soft Tissue Balancing During Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of elective total knee arthroplasty where the surgical procedure was affected by the neuromuscular blocking agent administered at induction of general anaesthesia. Recognition of this effect was vital to avoid additional bone resection at the soft tissue balancing stage of the procedure.

Study of knee range of motion after soft tissue repair in both flexion and extension during total knee arthroplasty: a randomized clinical trial
Background: The patient's position during the recovery time after arthroplasty surgery can be a factor in reducing complications and improving patients’ condition. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the knee range of motion after soft tissue repair in both flexion and extension positions of total knee arthroplasty. Methods: This study is a double-blind clinical trial. The study pop...

Accurate soft tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty has a direct effect on patellofemoral tracking and knee range of motion. Numerous instruments and methods are available to balance knee prostheses. The eLIBRA Dynamic Knee Balancing System (Synvasive Technology, Inc, Reno, Nevada) is an electronic device that establishes femoral component rotation using ligamentous tone. The eLIBRA i...
متن کاملSoft-tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty in the varus knee.
Soft-tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty is an important step in optimizing the mechanical balance of the knee joint. Soft-tissue contractures that result from varus coronal plane deformity can pose a difficult problem, and the surgeon should have a standard procedure for managing such situations in the operating room. Balance may be assessed intraoperatively with the use of spacer ...
متن کاملA Computational Modeling Approach for Investigating Soft Tissue Balancing in Bicruciate Retaining Knee Arthroplasty
Bicruciate retaining knee arthroplasty, although has shown improved functions and patient satisfaction compared to other designs of total knee replacement, remains a technically demanding option for treating severe cases of arthritic knees. One of the main challenges in bicruciate retaining arthroplasty is proper balancing of the soft tissue during the surgery. In this study biomechanics of sof...
متن کاملSoft-tissue balancing in primary total knee arthroplasty.
The surgical goal of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to provide a well-balanced soft-tissue envelope surrounding a well-aligned, well-fixed implant. Some knee surgeons have emphasized that a good outcome in primary TKA is more dependent on soft-tissue management than bone management. Thus, it is imperative that the surgeon is familiar with knee soft-tissue balancing techniques to addre...
