Conservative Bone Cuts and Technical Hints Incruciate Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty, a 20 Years Experience

Authors

Abstract:

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 more advanced techniques of arthroplasty and apply their experience to improve the outcome of the operation and achieving better results. Understanding of the knee biomechanics , introduction of better techniques together with more modern prosthesis design and instrumentation plus good experience are reasons for success and popularity of this surgery. In this paper we aim to share our experience of total knee arthroplasty patients with other knee surgeons.

Comparing cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty and cruciate-substituting total knee arthroplasty: a prospective clinical study.

BACKGROUND This prospective clinical study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic changes between patients with cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (CS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS From 1997 through 1998, 228 patients (183 females and 45 males) with a total of 267 knees with an average age of 55 years (range, 20 to 83 years) were enrolled in t...

Complete anterior knee dislocation 16 years after cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty.

Anterior dislocation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rare; 9 cases have been reported in the English literature. Five patients sustained subluxation, with recurvatum as the clinical manifestation, and 4 patients sustained complete dislocation, usually accompanying other serious complications.This article describes a case of complete dislocation that developed atraumatically 16 years afte...

The Kinemax total knee arthroplasty. Nine years' experience.

We reviewed the outcome of 422 primary cemented Kinemax total knee arthroplasties implanted into 369 patients over a period of five years, from January 1989. The operations were carried out at two NHS district general hospitals and one teaching hospital by 31 surgeons. During the period of review, 49 patients died and ten knees were lost to follow-up (68 knees). The mean Knee Society score impr...

Technical considerations in total knee arthroplasty.

Results with total knee arthroplasty as published in this issue show few mechanical failures in knees correctly aligned. If the principles of technique are respected, the narrow limits for margin of error can be met. To provide optimal results, the following measures are recommended. The tibia should be cut no more than 5 mm from the medial subchondral bone, if the posterior cruciate ligament i...

The utility of bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty

BACKGROUND We describe the features of modern and historical bicruciate-retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants compared with other TKA implant designs, reviewing kinematics, proprioception, operative technique, and clinical results. METHODS We performed a review based on PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Plus, and Cochrane databases from January 1990 to April 2016 using combinations of t...

Posterior Tibial Polyethylene Fracture in Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty

Introduction One of the common prostheses for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cruciate-retaining (CR) design. The tibial polyethylene inserts commonly used in TKA are made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The CR TKA design retains the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which is believed to provide increased stability, promote femoral roll back, improve propriocep...
