Purpose: While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported on the long-term survivorship and function.
Methods: One hundred four consecutive cemented cruciate retaining TKAs implanted using computer navigation and following the rKA principles proposed by Vendittoli were reviewed at a minimum of 10 years after surgery. Implant revisions, reoperations and clinical outcomes were assessed using knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), forgotten joint score (FJS), patients' satisfaction and joint perception questionnaires.
Challenges of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With Osteopetrosis.

Article Synopsis
- Osteopetrosis is a rare bone disease that leads to increased bone density due to malfunctioning osteoclasts, which makes bones more brittle and prone to fractures and deformities.
- Joint problems, specifically hip and knee osteoarthritis, often develop as long-term complications in patients with osteopetrosis, making joint replacement surgery a common treatment for advanced cases.
- However, performing joint arthroplasty in osteopetrosis patients carries a higher risk of complications, requiring careful preoperative and surgical planning to address the unique challenges posed by the disease.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered the gold standard treatment for patients who have advanced hemophilic knee arthropathy. However, special considerations are required for these patients. This prospective study reports on the need for soft-tissue procedures, implant types, complication rates, mean 53.

In the presence of extra-articular deformities, performing personalized TKA can be more challenging and specific considerations are required, since one has to deal with an acquired pathological anatomy. Performing personalized TKA surgery in patients with extra-articular deformities, the surgeon can: (1) resurface the joint, omitting the extra-articular deformity; (2) partially compensate the extra-articular deformity with intra-articular correction (hybrid technique), or (3) correct the extra-articular deformity combined with a joint resurfacing TKA (single stage or two-stage procedure).

Methods: Of the 276 THAs included in this study, there were eleven deaths and 27 patients lost to follow up (11%) during the follow-up, leaving 237 (85%) hips available for review at a mean of 10.5 years (range, 10 to 12) postoperatively.
