BACKGROUND Surgical simulation has become increasingly relevant to orthopaedic surgery education and could translate to improved operating room proficiency in orthopaedic surgery trainees. PURPOSE To compare the arthroscopic performance of junior orthopaedic surgery residents who received training with a knee and shoulder arthroscopy surgical simulator with those who received didactic trainin...

BACKGROUND The formation of intraarticular adhesion is a common complication after total knee arthroplasty or anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Previously, little research was reported regarding whether the local application of rapamycin (RAPA) could reduce intraarticular adhesion following knee surgery. In our present study, we determined the therapeutic effect of RAPA by local applic...

Abstract Arthroscopic surgery in the knee most commonly addresses ligament, meniscal, or articular cartilage abnormalities. Similarly, arthroscopic of shoulder tendon and labral The expected postoperative MRI findings depend on both procedure performed time since surgery. Identifying complications failed procedures relies clinical imaging evaluations.

BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis is a postoperative complication of intra-articular knee surgery that can be difficult to treat. Evidence suggests that maximizing knee range of motion may improve outcomes in patients with arthrofibrosis who undergo arthroscopic debridement. HYPOTHESIS Patients who achieve greater knee range of motion will have better subjective scores. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective c...

The Korean Knee Society has grown to be one of the largest societies in the Korean Orthopedic Association since the foundation of in 1983. It is our great pleasure to launch Knee Surgery and Related Research. The journal covers all fi elds of clinical orthopedic knee surgery and basic research related to orthopedic knee surgery. Th is journal is the product of long and patient planning by many ...

AIM Knee arthroplasties are an increasingly common treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) and the main indication is pain. Previous research states, however, that 15-20% of the operated patients are dissatisfied and 20-30% have persistent pain after surgery. This study is aimed at describing patients' experiences of living with knee OA when scheduled for surgery and further their expectations for fu...

BACKGROUND Quantitative sensory testing (QST) allows precise characterization of sensory deficits and painful symptoms and may offer additional information on the pathophysiology of postoperative pain. METHODS We evaluated 20 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty clinically and with QST before surgery, at 1 and 4 days after surgery, and at 1 and 4 mo after surgery. The clinical evalu...

Adequate operative field space minimises potential complications during revision knee arthroplasty. The colonisation rate of pneumatic re-useable devices reported to be 68-78%, other devices should be considered in the revision knee surgery setting. Sterile single use tourniquets devices (Heamaclear® /S-MARTTM, OHK Medical Devices, Haifa, Israel) have colonisation rates of 0%. This study assess...
