Specialized surgical techniques and knee replacement technology have been developed specifically to address the complexities of revision total knee replacement. Prior to surgery, a thorough understanding of the mechanism of failure and evaluation for possible periprosthetic sepsis is essential in order to ...
Revision Knee Replacement means that part or all of your previous knee replacement needs to be revised. This operation varies from very minor adjustments to massive operations replacing significant amounts of bone. The typical knee replacement replaces the ends of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia ...
The clinical outcomes of revision surgery for failed UKR are thought to be equivalent to conversion of high tibial osteotomy to TKR and possibly superior to primary TKR revisions [8], [9]. The purpose of this study was to review patients who had a revision total knee replacement for failed ...
Evidence that robotic procedures have advantages over manual knee replacement surgery has supported a shift in practice. By the end of last year, 60% of Stryker knee procedures in the U.S. were performed using its Mako robotic system, the company told investors on its quarterly results conferenc...
The management of bone loss in revision replacement of the knee remains a challenge despite an array of options available to the surgeon. Bone loss may occur as a result of the original disease, the design of the prosthesis, the mechanism of failure or technical error at initial surgery. The...
Implant manufacturers offer a wide array of stem and augment options for reconstruction in revision total knee replacement (TKR). Revisions performed with stems have been shown to outperform revisions without stems and thus are widely accepted as standard; however if those stems should be fully cemen...
We classified revision knee replacement procedures as "unplanned" (for acute admissions via the Emergency Department, and inpatient transfers from other centres) or "elective" (for patients undergoing planned surgery after assessment in the outpatient department). 展开 ...
Stiffness afterknee replacement surgery, or total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is a rare but frustrating complication, affecting between 1% and 7% of patients who receive the artificial joints. "Why some people and not others experience limited range of motion after TKA is unknown," said Ioannis Gki...
Patients who are younger than about 40, male, or Black are among those most at risk for revision surgery after having had a total knee replacement, according to researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The study, published in the Archives of Orthop
Peri-prosthetic infection is amongst the mostcommon causes of failure following total knee replacement (TKR).In the presence of established infection, thorough joint debridementand removal of all components is necessary following which new componentsmay be implanted. This can be performed in one or tw...
