Background The functional and clinical basis on which to choose whether or not to retain the
posterior cruciate ligament during total knee arthroplasty surgery remained unclear after a …

Results of total knee arthroplasty have demonstrated excellent pain relief and increased
patient function, particularly in activities such as walking. This procedure has not always met …

Background: One long-held tenet of total knee arthroplasty is that implant durability is
maximized when postoperative limb alignment is corrected to 0±3 relative to the mechanical …

Purpose Our study sought to address four issues:(1) the relationship between postoperative
overall anatomical knee alignment and the survival of total knee prostheses;(2) the …

We performed a prospective, randomised trial of 44 patients to compare the functional
outcomes of a posterior-cruciate-ligament-retaining and posterior-cruciate-ligament …

Background: Unicompartmental replacement can be an alternative to tibial osteotomy in
younger, active patients with unicompartmental knee disease. In unicompartmental …

Fluoroscopic evaluation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has reported sudden anterior
translation of the femur relative to the tibia (paradoxical anterior motion) for some cruciate …

Accurate knowledge of knee joint motion is needed to evaluate the effects of implant design
on functional performance and component wear. We conducted a randomized controlled …

An instrumented tibial tray was developed that enables the measurement of six load
components in a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The design is fully compatible with a …

Knee kinematics is an analysis of motion pattern that is utilized to assess a comparative,
biomechanical performance of healthy nonimplanted knees, injured nonimplanted knees …
