Short-term clinical outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty with a new-type kinematic retaining implant: A comparison with preexisting cruciate retaining prosthesis.

Despite the success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), current implant designs could not consistently restore the physiological knee kinematics, especially in cruciate-retaining (CR) implants. This study aimed to investigate the short-term clinical outcomes, particularly patient satisfaction, of primary TKA employing a new-type kinematic retaining (KR) implant. We analyzed 149 cases applied the KR implant at our institutions during June 2017 to May 2019.

Short- to Mid-Term Clinical Outcomes of Posterior-Stabilized Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty with Trabecular Metal Components.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the short- to mid-term clinical results of posterior-stabilized trabecular metal total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cementless fixation of all components and investigate the radiographic changes of tibial and patellar components and cut bone surfaces over time.

Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of 128 knees from 88 consecutive patients who had undergone initial TKA with NexGen LPS-Flex TM implants. A total of 66 knees from 45 patients (mean ± standard deviation age: 70.

The incidence and risk factor of deep venous thrombosis after arthroscopically assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the incidence and risk factors of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) detected by ultrasonography after arthroscopically assisted Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of arthroscopically assisted ACLR surgery performed at our institution between 2012 and 2015. Revision ACLR, bone patella tendon bone (BTB) graft reconstruction, and concomitant multiple ligament reconstructions were excluded.

Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, using CT-based navigation and fiducial markers.

Purpose: Accurate placement of separate anteromedial and posterolateral bundle bone tunnels is crucial for anatomic, double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, identifying the anatomic footprint at which to make the tibial and femoral bone tunnels is not a straightforward procedure. To overcome this problem, we used a CT-based navigation technique with a registration procedure based on fiducial markers (FMs).
