The aim of this prospective multicentre study was to report the patient satisfaction after total knee replacement (TKR), undertaken with the aid of intra-operative sensors, and to compare these results with previous studies. A total of 135 patients undergoing TKR were included in the study. The soft-tissue balance of each TKR was quantified intra-operatively by the sensor, and 18 (13%) were fou...

The identification of the make and model a total knee replacement (TKR) is necessary step prior to revision surgery for periprosthetic fracture, loosening, wear or infection. Current methods may fail correctly identify implant up 10% time. This study presents training Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) automatically seven TKR implants absence on plain-film radiographs. Our dataset consists 588 ...

The aim of this review article is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of total knee replacement (TKR) compared to unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in patients with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis (MUO) in terms of survival rates, revision rates and postoperative complications. The search engine was MedLine. The keywords used were: medial knee osteoarthritis. Three thousand and n...

Functional dissatisfaction following total knee replacement (TKR) is recorded as high 20%. The majority of these patients report anterior pain (AKP) the main source dissatisfaction. Elevated patellofemoral compression forces and soft tissue extensor hood strain have been implicated in generation significant AKP. A novel method assessing measuring dynamically native resurfaced patella for TKR fo...

This paper present a new developed technique for robotic surgical model with high flexibility used in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. The proposed model used robot arm assisted technique to play the role of computer assisted surgery (CAS). Most famous type’s orthopedic surgery equipments used navigation system. The system provide surgeon with extra support, as it help optimizing the impla...

BACKGROUND Neighborhood sociodemographic characteristics are associated with health care utilization across many conditions. There has been little study of whether total knee replacement (TKR) recipients from vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, the elderly, and the less well educated, are more likely to use low-volume hospitals (LVHs). METHODS We used Med...

OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with having total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis in the AGES-Reykjavik Study, a large population based study of elderly Icelanders. METHODS Information about total knee and hip joint replacements (TKR,THR) and hand OA (HOA) severity was available in 2195 males and 2975 females, mean age 76±6 years. The prevalence of TKR was 223 (4.3%) and THR 3...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with osteoarthritis (OA) would be willing to pay for joint replacement and whether patient characteristics or health outcomes, including pain, physical function and health-related quality of life, were related to willingness to pay (WTP). METHODS Patients who had undergone primary total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) for OA compl...

AIM This study aimed to estimate the demand for total hip (THR) and knee replacements (TKR) by 2026 within New Zealand (NZ) and show how demographic factors are likely to influence this projection. METHOD Yearly population data from the NZ Census was compared to the NZ Joint Register from 2001-2011 and ethnic and gender specific data was organised into 5 year age groups from 35 years to calcu...

INTRODUCTION Management of infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenge to patient and surgeon alike. Two-stage exchange is the universally acclaimed method to tackle this problem. Various spacer devices are available for the first stage surgery for local delivery of antibiotics. Here, we report our experience with management of infected TKA patients with our indigenously designed and ...
