Especially in the lower extremities, this results in an early handicap. Therefore, timely diagnosis is necessary in cases with clinical and radiological progressive joint destructions.doi:10.1007/978-3-642-18240-2_7L. HovyS. MüllerI. ScharrerSpringer Berlin Heidelberg...
BACKGROUND: after total knee replacement is experienced by around 20% of patients in the UK. Ensuring that services are designed to best meet the needs of patients requires a foundation of empirical work. The present study sought to describe healthcare professionals' experiences and views on the...
"As a research team we wanted to do something that would help. We found that our new STAR care pathway had a positive impact on people's pain. People who had long-term pain after their knee replacement and who were given STAR had less pain and the pain interfered less with their lives...
Clinical, radiographic, lanalyses and survivorship were done on the initial cementless series of 309 posterior cruciate-retaining meniscal-bearing and rotating-platform New Jersey LCS total knee replacements followed up for 10 to 20 years (mean, 12.4 years). Clinical results in patients surviving at...

Cemented total knee arthroplasty has evolved over the decades from simple surface replacements to highly technical designs affording the orthopaedic surgeon the ability to correct deformities of the knee, maintain motion, and relieve pain. The results represent the work of many investigators with ...
Early development of total knee replacement included hinged-type knee prostheses and interposition arthroplasty. These implants had high failure rates due to loosening, infection, or inadequate pain relief. The total condylar prosthesis was a tricompartmental, posterior cruciate sacrificing implant that was...
Cemented fixation has resulted in satisfactory long term outcome with low revision rates (Fig. 16.1) [2-5]. However, osteolysis often appears and the long term durability of the interface is questionable, especially in young patients [6, 7]....
BackgroundLong-term results of Genesis I modular total knee system are not well known.MethodsWe analyzed data from 345 patients with 393 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKA) using the Genesis I prosthesis. In all cases, the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was retained, and the patella was...
Using data from two large population cohorts with repeated measures of pain severity and several years of follow-up we sought to identify empirically distinct and reproducible long-term symptom trajectories. Methods: Participants were members of the Clinical Assessment Study of the Knee (CAS-K) - ...
