Significant controversy exists in the literature regarding the pitfalls and benefits of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Regardless, most surgeons today use smaller exposures than in previous years. Although more difficult, rigid adherence to classical gap balancing techniques can allow a surgeon to achieve ideal ligament and flexion/extension gap balance in TKA through a minim...

Background: Nowadays combined high tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction is accepted as a safe and effectivesurgery for patients with symptomatic varus osteoarthritis and anterior knee instability; however, the source of varusdeformity is sometimes the femoral bone. No studies have reported concomitant ACL reconstruction and distal femoralosteotomy in ACL-deficient knees wit...

Press-fit component fixation is one of the primary goals in uncemented total hip arthroplasty. When aiming at proximal load transfer, the stem size has to be selected with regard to the shape of the proximal femoral canal. This can be challenging in patients with 'champagne flute' femurs with a relatively narrow diaphysis, especially when a long stem femoral component is used. The present case ...

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 numb...

background fractures of the knee account for about 6% of all trauma admissions. while its management is mostly focused on fracture treatment, it is not the only factor that defines the final outcome. objectives this study aimed to study objective and subjective outcomes after proximal tibial versus distal femoral fractures in terms of knee instability and health-related quality of life. patient...
