The objective of this study was to perform a systematic literature review to describe patient outcome after total knee arthroplasty revision procedures using various global knee score ratings. English language articles published from 1966 through 2000 were identified through a computerized literature search and bibliography review. A multistage assessment was used to determine the articles containing data that could meet our objective. Meta-analyses of global knee scores were undertaken using a fixed effects model with the assumption that the variances of each individual measurement were identical across studies. The initial inclusion criteria were met by 58 articles with a total of 1965 patients. There were 42 articles comprising 45 unique patient cohorts and a total of 1515 patients that had sufficient global knee score data for analysis and were used in the meta-analyses. Revision total knee arthroplasty is an effective procedure for failed knee arthroplasties based on global knee rating scales.

Knee joint disorders pose a significant and growing challenge to global healthcare systems. Recent advancements in robotics, sensing technologies, and artificial intelligence have driven the development of robot-assisted therapies, reducing the physical burden on therapists and improving rehabilitation outcomes. This study presents a novel knee exoskeleton designed for safe and adaptive rehabilitation, specifically targeting bed-bound stroke patients to enable early intervention.

Osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in the knee and hip, poses a significant global health challenge due to limited therapeutic options. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of OA and identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, we utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and cis-miRNA expression quantitative trait loci (cis-miR-eQTL) datasets to identify miRNAs associated with OA, revealing 16 that were linked to knee OA and 21 to hip OA. Among these, hsa-miR-1303 was significantly upregulated in both knee and hip OA (IVW: = 6.

The diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis is challenging due to its complex nature and various contributing factors. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, some computer vision-based methods have been developed to address this task. However, when applied in practice, these methods encounter numerous challenges.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease globally, causing pain, stiffness, and disability. Intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) has been used for chronic pain and musculoskeletal disease. However, evidence on the clinical benefits and serum biomarkers post-ILIB therapy in knee OA is insufficient.

Objective: Gap balancing is a vital process during mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA). However, this process commonly depends on the surgeon's experience and lacks specific unified standards. This study aimed to propose and evaluate a novel "measured resection" method for gap balance in MB-UKA.
