INTRODUCTION Several cases of tibial post breakage are reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of NexGen knee prosthesis (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana, USA) tibial post failure have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION In November 1999, a 63-year-old Caucasian woman from Italy with a history of symptomatic left knee osteoarthritis underwent a total knee arthroplasty....

Objectives: Coronal and sagittal malalignment of the knee are well-recognized risk factors for failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, effect axial on ACLR graft survival is yet to be determined. This study aimed evaluate whether increased tibiofemoral rotational malalignment, namely rotation angle (TFA) tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, associa...

BACKGROUND Clinical consequences of alignment errors in total knee replacement (TKR) have led to the rigorous evaluation of surgical alignment techniques. Rotational alignment in the transverse plane has proven particularly problematic, with errors due to component malalignment relative to bone anatomic landmarks and an overall mismatch between the femoral and tibial components' relative positi...

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of suprapatellar (SP)-nailing versus infrapatellar (IP)-nailing tibia fractures in anterior knee pain, complications (retropatellar chondropathy, infection, and malalignment) physical functioning quality life. A clinical question-driven thorough systematic review current literature is provided. Data source: PubMed Embase databases were searched for studie...

  Background: There are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. In the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. Methods: Forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal nu...

BACKGROUND For persons with unicompartment knee osteoarthritis (OA), off-unloader braces are a mechanical intervention designed to reduce pain, improve physical function, and possibly slow disease progression. Pain relief is thought to be mediated by distracting the involved compartment via external varus or valgus forces applied to the knee. In so doing, tibiofemoral alignment is improved, and...

Adults with spinal deformity (ASD) are known to have postural malalignment affecting their quality of life. Classical evaluation and follow-up usually based on full-body static radiographs health related life questionnaires. Despite being an essential daily activity, formal gait assessment lacks in clinical practice. What the main alterations kinematics ASD radiological determinants? 52 63 cont...
