Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for severe osteoarthritis. Despite good survival rates, up to 20% of TKA patients remain dissatisfied. Recently, promising new technologies have been developed in knee arthroplasty, and could improve the functional outcomes. The aim of this paper was to present some new technologies in TKA, their current concepts, their advantages, and limitations. The patient-specific instrumentations can allow an improvement of implant positioning and limb alignment, but no difference is found for functional outcomes. The customized implants are conceived to reproduce the native knee anatomy and to reproduce its biomechanics. The sensors have to aim to give objective data on ligaments balancing during TKA. Few studies are published on the results at mid-term of these two devices currently. The accelerometers are smart tools developed to improve the TKA alignment. Their benefits remain yet controversial. The robotic-assisted systems allow an accurate and reproducible bone preparation due to a robotic interface, with a 3D surgical planning, based on preoperative 3D imaging or not. This promising system, nevertheless, has some limits. The new technologies in TKA are very attractive and have constantly evolved. Nevertheless, some limitations persist and could be improved by artificial intelligence and predictive modeling.

Department of Orthopedic Trauma, The Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 730020 Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes and complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using posterior-stabilized (PS) and cruciate-retaining (CR) prosthesis in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and valgus knee deformity.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients with OA and valgus knee deformity who underwent TKA between February 2021 and November 2023. The cohort was divided into the PS group (n = 108) and the CR group (n = 92).
Is Patella Resurfacing Associated with Postoperative Extensor Mechanism Disruption After Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Arthroplasty
March 2025
University of Florida Health, Gainesville, FL.
Background: Patella resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) involves surgical manipulation of the extensor mechanism, which can weaken or devascularize the patellar bone, quadriceps, and patellar tendon. Patella resurfacing may, in theory, increase the risk of postoperative extensor mechanism disruption (EMD).
Methods: We systematically searched the Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed databases to identify randomized controlled trials that reported the overall incidence of complications and surgery for EMD for resurfaced and unresurfaced patellae in patients who underwent primary TKA with a 2-year follow-up.
Non-Opioid Analgesics for Postoperative Pain Management Following Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

McMaster University, Department of Surgery, Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: Hip and knee arthroplasty are a fundamental part of modern orthopaedic practice. These procedures often require extensive postoperative analgesia, including opiate painkillers that are frequently associated with adverse side effects and risk of abuse. This review, therefore, investigated how postoperative administration of non-opioid co-analgesics (e.

Compared to the hip, where investigators associate metal release with adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs), metal related complications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain controversial and underexplored. Primary TKA systems use monobloc components, limiting corrosion and subsequent concern. However, like the joints they replace, metal components degrade in vivo.
