Background: This study aimed to investigate postoperative developments of sagittal knee gait in a population of knee arthroplasty patients randomized to either unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty. We hypothesized that knee arthroplasty patients develop greater walking speeds, range of motion, sagittal knee angle velocities, and sagittal knee angle accelerations.
Methods: Thirty-two patients were recruited from a randomized trial comparing the two implant types.
Background: Periprosthetic knee fracture (PPKF) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be difficult to treat. A PPKF can be treated both operatively and nonoperatively, and the treatment varies between fracture sites. This study aimed to assess the risk of reoperation according to the fracture site and treatment of the PPKF.

- prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are difficult to treat and can arise after joint replacements, necessitating better treatment approaches and relevant animal models for research.
- The study developed a surgical protocol for hip hemiarthroplasty in Göttingen minipigs and conducted careful post-surgery evaluations, identifying challenges such as the risk of joint dislocation.
- The findings established the minipig model as a suitable option for future experiments on PJIs, showing that one pig developed a PJI linked to immune cell issues at the bone-prosthesis interface.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence of hip displacement and dislocation in Danish children with cerebral palsy (CP), focusing on differences between ambulant and non-ambulant children and their prevalence across regions.
- Data analyzed from 2008 to 2021 included 1,388 children, revealing a cumulative incidence of hip dislocation significantly higher in non-ambulators (22%) compared to ambulators (0.3%) and a notable difference in hip displacement rates (76.7% for non-ambulators vs. 21.1% for ambulators).
- The findings suggest that non-ambulant children with CP face a greater risk of hip migration, highlighting the need for targeted interventions
Purpose: The primary aim of our study was to identify the absolute incidence and implant survival of multiply revised knee arthroplasties based on nationwide register data. The secondary aim was to determine the change in the absolute incidence and implant survival of multiply revised knee arthroplasties Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of primary knee arthroplasties using several nationwide Danish registers. All primary knee arthroplasties performed in Denmark from 1998 to 2021 were identified.
