In the treatment of degenerative knee arthritis, total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed surgery. After knee replacement, stress fractures at lower extremity may rarely occur due to changes in lower extremity alignment and biomechanical axis. We report an 82-year-old woman with a bilateral femoral neck stress fracture 3 years after bilateral total knee replacement. Physicians should be aware of this rare complication and these fractures should be treated without any surgical delay.

5-year migration and inducible displacement of the uncemented LCS and ATTUNE rotating platform knee systems: a secondary report of a randomized controlled RSA trial.

Department of Orthopaedics, Spaarne Gasthuis, Hoofddorp; Department of Oral Cell Biology, Academic Centre for Dentistry (ACTA), University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background And Purpose: Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.

Background And Purpose: Measuring patient satisfaction after total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important. We aimed to cross-culturally adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the self-reported Goodman Satisfaction Score (GSS) in a sample of Norwegian patients following primary THA and TKA.
Methods: The GSS was translated and adapted into Norwegian (GSS-NO) following standard guidelines.
Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty With Multiple Sclerosis Demonstrate Similar Functional Outcome Measures: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (Lim, Sayeed, Bedair, and Melnic), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, MA (Lim, Sayeed, Bedair, and Melnic).
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) may negatively influence the patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) when undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, functional outcomes in this select population remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and rate of achieving Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Improvement (MCID-I) and Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Worsening (MCID-W) between MS and non-MS TKAs.

Objectives: Home assessment and modification are crucial to prevent fall and fall-related injuries, especially in vulnerable subjects. This study assessed the need for home modifications and investigated risk factors associated with home injuries in post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.
Methods: This study was conducted at the university hospital from July 2022 to July 2023.

Introduction: Extraarticular deformity (EAD) with knee arthritis is a complex condition involving tri-planar bone deformity with pathological malalignment and chronic soft tissue contracture or laxity in the knee joint. Intraarticular correction by TKA, which was previously performed with conventional manual jig by mechanical alignment technique, had its limits and difficulties especially extensive soft tissue release and risk of jeopardizing the collateral ligaments. Robotic technology allows for reproducible and precise execution of surgical plan and allows adjustment to various new personalised alignment philosophy including functional alignment (FA).
