A total of 14 articles from 8 Randomized Control Trials met the inclusion criteria. Multiple articles from the same RCT were included where they reported on different outcomes.1 No differences in patient satisfaction, functional outcomes and PROMs were observed...
Characterised by a pronounced varus intra-articular deformity and associated insufficiency of the lateral ligamentous structures, high grade varus OA can be treated with a minimally constrained TKR in a procedure requiring an extensive medial release.1 However, “an...
Analyses of native limb alignment in non-osteoarthritic populations have revealed significant variations from the neutral/mechanical alignment (MA), which until now has been considered the ‘gold standard’ in TKR. 1 These observations, coupled with the inconsistent...
Although Partial and Total Knee Replacement (TKR) are both considered to be successful in the treatment of end stage osteoarthritis, they may not be routinely offered to the very elderly over fears of increased mortality and complication rates.1 This retrospective...
Recent years have seen rapid adoption of robotic-assisted TKR intended to improve patient satisfaction and implant survivorship by increasing the accuracy and reproducibility of component placement.1 Despite the success of robotics to date, there have been some...
An increasing number of younger patients are now receiving a TKR2. According to one study, TKR utilization in persons younger than 60 years of age has increased more than 20-fold in 20 years2. Cemented TKR provides excellent early fixation, and has generally been...
