Background: Robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) improves implant accuracy, however whether this translates to patient function is less clear. Various outcomes have been reported but muscle recovery has not been previously investigated.
Objective: To explore sequential change in lower limb muscle strength following robotic-assisted UKA with isokinetic dynamometry.
Aims: The aims of this systematic review were to assess the learning curve of semi-active robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), and to compare the accuracy, patient-reported functional outcomes, complications, and survivorship between rTHA and manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA).
Methods: Searches of PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar were performed in April 2020 in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. Search terms included "robotic", "hip", and "arthroplasty".
Article Synopsis
- A study was done to compare robotic-arm knee surgery (RATKA) with regular manual knee surgery (mTKA) to see which one worked better and if there were any complications.
- They found 16 studies that looked at things like how accurate the placement of knee components was and how patients felt after surgery.
- The results showed that RATKA had better accuracy in placing parts of the knee and gave patients a better score in how well their knees worked afterward compared to mTKA.
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate differences in implant requirement, outcomes, and re-revision when total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was performed following unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKAs) with metal-backed (MB) compared to all-polyethylene (AP) tibial components.
Methods: Retrospective study of 60 UKAs converted to 60 TKAs at mean 7.3 years (0.
Background: Patient function is poorly characterized following revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), although is generally accepted to be inferior to that following primary procedures.
Methods: Fifty-three consecutive aseptic revisions to total stabilizer devices were prospectively evaluated, preoperatively and at 6, 26, 52, and 104 weeks postoperatively, using the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), range of motion, pain rating scale, and timed functional performance battery. Data were assessed longitudinally and in comparison to primary TKA data with identical outcome assessments at equivalent time points.
Bleeding-related wound complications cause significant morbidity in lower limb arthroplasty surgery. Patients who require therapeutic anticoagulation in the perioperative period are potentially at higher risk for these complications. This is a retrospective case-control study reviewing all primary total hip arthroplasties performed in a single center during a 5-year period and comparing outcomes of the patients on warfarin with a double-matched control group of patients not on warfarin.

The mean magnification factor for the radiology department was determined (119.8%; range, 117%-123.

Patients And Methods: Nineteen patients with upper extremity Ewing's sarcoma were identified using the Scottish Bone Tumour Registry over the past 40 years.
Results: With increasing tumour Enneking stage at presentation there was a significantly higher mortality (P=0.
Background: Several factors can affect the viscosity of a cement and therefore its handling characteristics. We performed an in vitro study to ascertain whether anecdotal observations of differences in handling between batches of the same brand of cement actually existed.
Methods: 3 batches of Simplex P Tobramycin (SPT), Refobacin Bone Cement (RBC), SmartSet GHV (SSG) and Palacos R+G (PRG) were tested.
Background: Refobacin Palacos R (RPR) is no longer produced and Palacos R + G (PRG) and Refobacin Bone Cement R (RBC) have been introduced to supersede it. We performed an in vitro study to ascertain whether the handling and mechanical properties of the more recent cement preparations are different to those of their predecessor.
Methods: The 3 cements were tested to ISO 5833 and German DIN 53435 standards.
