Varus Knee Deformity Classification Based on Degree and Extra- or Intra-Articular Location of Coronal Deformity and Osteoarthritis Grade.

Background: Medial coronal plane malalignment, also known as varus alignment, is commonly reported in osteoarthritic knees. Although the degree of deformity provides some insight regarding the severity of the disease, it does not always reflect the potential complexity of the surgical treatment.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted by analyzing the radiographs of 100 consecutive knees in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Arthroplasty (RAKA): The Technique, the Technology and the Transition.

Background: There has been an exponential increase in knee arthroplasty over the past 20 years. This has led to a quest for improvement in outcomes and patient satisfaction. While the last decade of last century proved to be the decade for Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) or Computer Navigation wherein the technology demonstrated a clear benefit in terms of improving mechanical axis alignment and component positioning, this decade is likely to belong to Robotics.

Resuming arthroplasty: A well aligned and a balanced approach in the COVID-19 era.

Returning to Arthroplasty amidst the COVID-19 pandemic requires a well aligned and a balanced approach. Following a set protocol and staged measures are the need of the hour. This article details the specifics for resumption of arthroplasty in the era of COVID19.
