Background With increasing functional demands of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, mobile-bearing (MB) implants were developed in an attempt to increase the functional outcome of such patients. In theory, with MB implants, the self-alignment should reduce the rate of lateral release of th...
The rule of no thumb test was compared with the towel clip test in determining the need for lateral retinacular release in 200 consecutive primary total knee replacements. The towel clip test was positive in 13 knees (6.5%) and the rule of no thumb test was positive in 78 knees (39%)....

Besides implanting components in the correct position and rotation, balancing parapatellar soft tissues is also important...
In a prospective study of 51 patients (61 cases) with primary total knee arthroplasty (valgus knees and/or knees that had undergone previous nonarthroplasty surgery), a lateral approach with osteotomy of the tibial tubercle was performed. In a lateral approach, lateral release techniques form part...
A 70-year-old male underwent elective total knee replacement for osteoarthritis. At initial review six weeks after surgery the prosthesis was functioning well and he was asymptomatic. He reattended clinic four months postoperatively having developed worsening pain on the lateral aspect of the knee bu...
Lateral skin flap numbness will have been noted by all surgeons performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients also notice it; occasionally this causes concern and in a few cases a significant problem [1]. We have defined lateral skin flap numbness as altered sensation lateral to the scar ...
Total knee arthroplastyLateral approachLateral arthrotomyTibial tubercle osteotomyPurpose When performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in valgus knee deformities, a medial or lateral parapatellar approach can be performed, but the lateral approach is often considered technically more difficult. The purpose...

Objective To investigate the sequelae and relative factors of sensation disorders of lateral skin of the incision after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to explore its effect on knee function.Methods Thirty-six patients (53 knees) who underwent TKA were continuously selected in this study.The ...
