A total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, involves removing damaged portions of the knee, and capping the bony surfaces with man-made prosthetic implants. A total knee replacement repositions the knee into ...
A series of 19 cases of simultaneous bilateral Attenborough Total Knee Replacement is presented. This semi-constrained prosthesis is ideal for this procedure as early mobilization is possible. In comparison to the available series of unilateral replacement, there has been no indication of an increase ...
We have analyzed the operation of knee arthroplasty using the Whiteside Mark II prosthesis, and found that it could be broken down into 42 steps, some of which are more important than others and can be considered as critical. We have identified 4 criteria to evaluate a critical step: 1) it...
Total knee replacementFEM simulationContact analysisAim of this work is to compare two different total knee prostheses that differ mainly in the shape of the polyethylene (PE) component inserted between the femoral and tibial plates. The best solution between them has been originally reshaped in ...
Eighty-eight consecutive patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were reviewed retrospectively and divided into two groups. Group 1 (64 patients) had both knees replaced simultaneously by one team in a single procedure while Group II (24 patients) had 2 operations staged about 7 days apa...
In performing primary constrained total knee arthroplasties (TKA) to imbalanced knees, the offset stem is sometimes compelled to use, although this is associated with surgical difficulties. We developed a modified procedure which might be able to fit the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) po...

At late stages (KL = 4), however, no noninvasive option exists9; here, the only option is total knee replacement (TKR). TKR is an elective procedure in which the knee joint is resurfaced with a metal or plastic implant intended to restore function, provide pain relief, and improve...
Objectives:To evaluate opportunity gaps and set outcome goals in knee replacement (KR) between a primary care group taking financial risk for managing its patients and 6 fee-for-service (FFS) orthopedic groups that serve their patients.
