Aseptic lymphocytic vasculitis-associated lesion in a well-fixed total knee arthroplasty: a case report.

Adverse reactions to metal debris in relation to metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty has been heavily discussed in the literature. In contrast, few cases have been reported in the context of total knee arthroplasty. A 77-year-old woman presented with a painful total knee arthroplasty.

Tibial alignment technique and its influence on clinical and functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Restoration of neutral mechanical axis is thought to influence implant survival and function in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). There is no consensus whether Intramedullary (IM) or Extramedullary (EM) tibial alignment technique is superior to achieve this outcome. Study aims to evaluate functional and radiological outcome of TKA using the EM and IM technique.

A Patient-Focused Technology-Enabled Program Improves Outcomes in Primary Total Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery.

Background: A patient-engagement and pathway-management program for patients undergoing primary total hip and knee replacement was evaluated. Health-service and multimedia features supported by technology were integrated with existing enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) practices. The primary objective was to demonstrate the impact on length of stay.

Anterior cruciate ligament injury and radiologic progression of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has previously been reported. However, there has been no meta-analysis reporting the development and progression of osteoarthritis.

Purpose: We present the first meta-analysis reporting on the development and progression of osteoarthritis after ACL injury at a minimum mean follow-up of 10 years, using a single and widely accepted radiologic classification, the Kellgren & Lawrence classification.

Publication trends in knee surgery: a review of the last 16 years.

The trends in the publication of articles regarding knee arthroplasty and soft tissue surgery were analysed with regard to geographical authorship, institutional funding and number of authors. Over 7500 articles from relevant journals with the highest impact factors according to the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report (2010) were evaluated from 1995 to 2010. The rate of publication increased by 16.
