Varus-Valgus Constrained Prostheses in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study of Mid- to Long-Term Outcomes.

Introduction Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established treatment for end-stage knee arthritis, providing substantial pain relief and functional improvement. However, the increasing need for revision TKA (RTKA) due to factors such as polyethylene wear, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic infection, and instability presents significant challenges. This study aimed to assess the mid- to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes, implant survival rates, and complications associated with RTKA using a varus-valgus constrained (VVC) prosthesis.

Evaluation of Results of Ponseti Technique in Idiopathic Clubfoot using Clinical Evaluation and Radiological Assessment.

Background: Congenital clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus) occurs in approximately one in 1000 live births and is one of the most common congenital birth defects. The Ponseti method is at present a well-established method of treatment for idiopathic clubfoot deformities.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of serial casting in clubfoot deformity with Ponseti method on the basis of Pirani's scoring and radiological findings before and after completion of treatment.
