Background: A contemporary trend favours a restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) strategy, incorporating safe boundaries to restore a variable percentage of a patient's natural alignment.This study aims to compare preoperative and postoperative coronal plane knee alignment (CPAK) in patients undergoing bilateral TKA with SAIPH implants (MatOrtho, UK). The concept was to control the implant (same prosthesis both sides), patient (bilateral model) and assess what effect any surgical alteration in alignment had on patient's outcomes measured by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) and patient satisfaction.

It is also a toxic air contaminant considered to pose a potentially significant cancer risk at comparatively low concentrations in urban air. However, very limited data currently exist to quantify risk at low-concentration occupational or environmental exposures.

- The study investigates the importance of three-dimensional (3D) alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) beyond just coronal alignment, emphasizing the impact of tibial, femoral, and tibiofemoral measurements on knee outcomes.
- A retrospective analysis of CT scans from 7450 osteoarthritic knees revealed weak yet significant relationships between various anatomical measurements and key alignment angles (aHKA and JLO), with some rotations showing larger effect sizes.
- The findings suggest that while current CPAK approaches describe coronal anatomy, they do not adequately account for critical 3D factors in surgical planning, indicating a need for more comprehensive phenotyping methods in TKA alignment strategies.
Background: We aimed to compare tibial soft tissue and bony slopes in patients with failed and non-failed ACL reconstructions (ACLR). We hypothesized that patients with failed ACLR have increased slopes compared to non-failed ACLR, and unexplained failures have higher slopes than failures with clear technical errors and failed synthetic ligaments.
Methods: Between 2015 and 2022, 130 patients with failed ACLR were retrospectively identified; 79 knees with adequate MRI scans were analyzed.
