Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has a long history, but has not been established as a treatment at the same level with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The professional societies play a major role in advocating improving practices and surgical behaviour that...
To relieve pain and improve patient satisfaction with the TKA procedure, arthroscopic popliteal tenotomy can be performed. However, very little data exists to suggest that following TKA, any pain experienced may be associated with popliteus tendon impingement. A study...
A medial congruent (MC) tibial component has been introduced for the cemented Persona total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that that is designed to closely resembles the functional anatomy of a natural knee in order to provide increased stability and better kinematics. This...
Data from a large national registry was used to study patient and prosthesis characteristics of 2,605 total knee arthroplasty revisions for instability. The study showed that instability increased from 6% of all first revision procedures in 2003 to 13% in 2019. The...
The results showed that the MC-bearing design provides a greater congruency area between the tibial bearing and femoral implant, more native knee kinematics, and improved patient-reported outcomes (not statistically significant) compared to the CR-bearing design. No...
Music is frequently played in operating theatres; however, the impact of music on surgeons is contentious. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of music genre and amplitude on laparoscopic surgery. The speed and accuracy of novice surgeons performing...
