Morphology and transverse alignment of the patella have no effect on knee gait characteristics in healthy Chinese adults over the age of 40 years.

The influence of patella morphology and horizontal alignment on knee joint kinematics and kinetics remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess patella morphology and transverse alignment in relation to knee kinetics and kinematics in individuals without knee conditions. A secondary objective was to investigate the impact of femur and tibia alignment and shape on knee gait within this population.

The global magnitude and temporal trend of rheumatoid arthritis burden attributable to smoking from 1990 to 2019.

Objectives: The relationship between smoking and RA has been confirmed. Most nations have ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. However, there are considerable regional differences in how effectively tobacco control measures were implemented.

Total knee arthroplasty and femoral osteotomy with a patient-specific cutting guide to treat haemophilic arthritis with severe extra-articular deformity: A case report and review of literatures.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is recommended for haemophilic patients with end-stage arthritis. TKA combined with a one-stage extraarticular osteotomy is uncommon in the treatment of haemophilic arthritis (HA) with severe extra-articular deformities (EADs) and a history of inhibitors under the guidance of a patient-specific cutting guide (PSI).

Case Presentation: We reported a 20-year-old male patient with severe haemophilia, limited knee functionality, a 30° sagittal deformity on the femoral side and a history of inhibitors.

Assessment of the effectiveness and satisfaction of platelet-rich plasma compared with hyaluronic acid in knee osteoarthritis at minimum 7-year follow-up: A analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) can be effectively treated conservatively using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into the affected joints. While the short-term therapeutic clinical benefits were well documented, the mid-term results remain undetermined. To clarify its efficacy, the mid-term clinical outcomes of intra-articular injections of either PRP or hyaluronic acid (HA) in KOA were compared.
