This is multifactorial with ongoing knee pain, limited function, and failure to meet preoperative expectations being the issues most likely to result in dissatisfaction. A systematic approach to evaluating problematic knees is essential to ascertain whether a revision surgery, a major undertaking, would...
TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY M.A. Cacko, PT, MPT, OCS, and J.D. Keener, MD, PT 1. Is the patella typically resurfaced at the time of total knee arthroplasty (TKA)? What are the outcome differences? Most surgeons advocate resurfacing the patella, especially in the presence of patellar ...
Total knee replacement (TKR), also referred to as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is one of the most common surgical procedures performed for patients with severe arthritis of the knee (Mahomed et al., 2005). Between 1991 and 2010, annual primary TKA increased 161% from 93 230 to 243 802...
ObjectiveTo review the current situation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) used in young patients with osteoarthritis.MethodsThe recent literature in the treatment of osteoarthritis with TKA in young patients was extensively reviewed. The characteristics, curative effect, and postoperative satisfaction degree...

A roentgenographic knee evaluation system endorsed by The Knee Society is included in this year's proceedings to encourage uniform reporting of the results of total knee arthroplasty. No rating system is ideal, but if many surgeons and centers use the same reporting system, then relative compariso...
Varus deformity of the knee is the most common angular deformity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) . It is typically characterized by a mechanical axis of less than 180°at the long-leg x-rays, with a medial joint line narrowing and a proximal tibial deformity. In some cases, there may be...
Evidence for selecting the same total knee arthroplasty prosthesis whether the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is retained or resected is rarely documented. This study reports prospective midterm clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes of a fixed-bearing design implanted using two different surgic...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a safe, cost-effective treatment for alleviating pain and restoring function in patients with knee arthritis who do not respond to conservative treatment. It is a commonly performed procedure worldwide with a high rate of patient satisfaction. Despite this, complicat...
In cases of poor bone quality, intraoperative torque measurement might be an alternative to preoperative dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess bone quality in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Trabecular peak torque measurement was applied in 14 p
