Purpose: The purpose was to estimate the prevalence of popliteus tendon impingement following TKA, and to describe the characteristics and the differential diagnosis protocol for this rare condition. The hypothesis was that arthroscopic popliteal tenotomy in TKA patients with suspected popliteus tendon impingement would relieve pain and improve satisfaction.

Methods: Of 741 TKAs performed over three years, eight (1.

Introduction: Pre-operative templating for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains inaccurate due to improper magnification and alignment. We aimed to describe an improved templating strategy using computed tomography (CT) to predict component sizes and offsets with greater accuracy.

Materials And Methods: We analysed 184 CT images acquired for pre-operative templating of primary THA.

Introduction: Few studies evaluated clinical benefits of pre-operative templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We investigated whether mismatch between planned and real implant sizes and medio-lateral offsets compromises THA outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed records of 184 primary THAs with pre-operative CT scans used for templating.
