Posterior cruciate ligament removal contributes to abnormal knee motion during posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

30 Oct 2008 Abnormal anterior translation of the femur on the tibia has been observed in mid flexion (20-60 degrees ) following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. The underlying biomechanical causes of this abnormal motion remain unknown. The ... Read more...

Men versus women: does size matter in total knee arthroplasty?

30 Oct 2008 The role played by femoral component sizing in the clinical outcome of primary TKA is currently debated. Oversizing the femur in patients with smaller knees could lead to overstuffing the knee capsule with resulting pain and reduced range of ... Read more...

Management of the deficient patella in revision total knee arthroplasty.

30 Oct 2008 There are a number of options available to manage the patella when revising a failed total knee arthroplasty. If the previous patellar component is well-fixed, undamaged, not worn, and compatible with the femoral revision component, then it can be ... Read more...
