This multicenter, retrospective study evaluates the radiographic results of achieving optimal tibial alignment in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a single modular CoCr cemented or cementless stemmed implant design. Stem size and length also were evaluated. The hundred ninety-nine revision TKAs were performed between January 1993 and January 1996 by 13 experienced revision knee surgeons. The cases were subdivided into 5 comparative groups: (1) cemented stems, (2) 140-mm length canal-filling stems, (3) 140-mm length non-canal-filling stems, (4) 95-mm length canal-filling stems, and (5) 95-mm length non-canal-filling stems. The anteroposterior (AP) tibial alignment angle was measured. The canal-filling ratio (CFR) was determined by dividing the stem diameter by the endosteal diameter at the stem tip. Overall, the ability to achieve tibial alignment in the AP plane was more predictable when canal-filling (CFR >/= 0.85) cementless stems were used. This was further enhanced when long canal-filling cementless stems were selected. The least-predictable results and the highest probability of varus malalignment were achieved with cemented stems.

Background: Understanding optimal prosthesis alignment in TKA remains crucial despite ongoing debate. While current research focuses on osteoarthritic knees, a gap exists in characterizing healthy young adult knees in Asians. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying the distribution of CPAK phenotypes in this population, including potential gender variations and individual differences.

Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) procedures have become much more common in the United States in recent years, with >40,000 UKAs performed annually. However, it is estimated that 10% to 40% of UKAs fail and thus require conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the field of total joint arthroplasty, robotic-assisted surgeries have demonstrated advantages such as better accuracy and precision of implant positioning and improved restoration of a neutral mechanical axis.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and imaging outcomes of a domestically produced orthopedic surgical robot for total knee arthroplasty and to explore its applicability in patients with varying degrees of deformity.
Methods: This study retrospectively included 120 patients who underwent TKA at our hospital between February 2023 and June 2024. The patients were divided into a control group (conventional TKA surgery) and an observation group (robot-assisted TKA surgery), with 60 patients in each group.

Background: Studies investigating constitutional alignment across various grades of osteoarthritis (OA) are limited. This study explored the distribution of Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) types and associated radiographic parameters with increasing OA severity.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 17,365 knees were analyzed using deep learning software for radiographic measurements.
A new tibial insert design with ball-in-socket medial conformity and posterior cruciate ligament retention has low tibial baseplate migration after unrestricted kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty: a cohort study using radiostereometric analysis.

Background And Purpose: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), an insert with ball-in-socket (BS) medial conformity (MC) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention restores kinematics closer to native than an insert with intermediate (I) MC. However, high medial conformity might compromise baseplate stability as indicated by maximum total point motion (MTPM). Using the BS MC insert with PCL retention, we aimed to determine whether (i) the baseplate is stable as indicated by mean MTPM < 0.
