Arthroplastyis an orthopedic procedure to partially or completely resurface, remodel, rebuild, or replace an arthritic, dysfunctional, or necrotic joint. We focus on the hip and knee joints in this article. The components of arthroplasty are held in position using a cemented, noncemented, or hybri...
For the final assessment the knee was placed in extension, and the patient was instructed to flex the knee as far as possible using only muscle power, leaving the heel on the surface. The fulcrum of the goniometer was placed at the medial joint line, with the lateral malleolus of the ...
Although large forces cross the shoulder during activity, the fact that the shoulder is not a weight-bearing joint accounts for many of these differences. In total hip arthroplasty, femoral stem loosening has been a problem. Innovations in implants and in insertion techniques have minimized many ...

The kinematic implantation of a TKA is physiological, in the sense that its objective is to restore the anatomy, gap balance and kinematics of the pre-arthritic knee [3], [39], [40]. The implant must resurface the joint, i.e. replace the estimated thickness of the bone and cartilage pr...
The advantage of unicompartmental arthroplasty compared with total knee arthroplasty is smaller incision and more rapid recovery, but more importantly loss of less than 75% of bone and cartilage.2 By retaining all the undamaged parts, the joint bends and functions more naturally. UKA is commonly ...
Simultaneous osteoarthritis (OA) of the ankle joint complicates primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In such cases, rehabilitation of TKA is limited by debilitating ankle pain, but varus or valgus ankle arthritis may even compromise placement of knee prosthetic components. Case presentation We prese...
