Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive disease involving the degeneration of cartilage and joint tissue, resulting in pain and disability. Bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is is an effective intervention that improves quality of life, reduces pain and increases functional capability. This study was performed to compare the functional outcomes between staged and simultaneous total knee arthroplasty. This prospective interventional study was carried out in Arthroscopic and Arthroplasty unit of BSMMU, Dhaka from January 2017 to December 2018. A total of 60 OA patients underwent TKA were included in this study. Thirty patients underwent simultaneous TKA procedure and 30 patients underwent staged TKA procedures performed with 1-6 months between stages were included. Pre-operative and post operative data were collected. Data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Numerical data were analyzed using unpaired t test and categorical data were analyzed using Chi-Square test. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Mean age of the study subjects was 60.47±10.13 years in staged group and 59.30±9.90 years in simultaneous group. Male to female ratio was 1:1.5 in staged group and 1:2 in simultaneous group. Mean BMI of the study subjects was 30.70±4.91kg/m² in staged group and 30.06±4.79kg/m² in simultaneous group (p>0.05). In both groups, maximum study subjects were housewife (33.3% vs. 33.3%). In staged group 13.3% and 16.7% in simultaneous group were heavy worker; 20.0% in staged group and 16.7% in simultaneous group were medium worker (p>0.05). Pain, motion, stability and function were significantly changed after surgery comparing before surgery.Infection was observed in 10.0% cases in both groups. Stiffness was observed in 10.0% cases in staged group but in 6.7% cases in simultaneous group. Even final outcome showed better in simultaneous procedure, there was no significant difference between two procedures. The outcome of both simultaneous andstaged procedure of bilateral total knee replacement in Advanced Osteoarthritis is similar.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.

Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.

Background: Precise and accurate glenoid preparation is important for the success of shoulder arthroplasty. Despite advancements in preoperative planning software and enabling technologies, most surgeons execute the procedure manually. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) facilitates accurate glenoid guide pin placement for cannulated reaming; however, few commercially available systems offer depth of reaming control.

Background: This study investigated the influence of surgical alignment techniques on knee joint biomechanics during stair negotiation tasks. Our hypothesis was that a more personalized joint alignment would result in reduced medial knee loading biomechanics to negotiate the stairs.

Methods: There were 28 adults (14 mechanical alignments [MA], 14 kinematic alignment [KA]) who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at least one year post-operatively and performed five stair ascent and descent trials at their preferred velocities.

Introduction: As the number of revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKA) continues to rise, there is increasing interest in the use of contemporary rotating hinge prostheses. These devices often incorporate porous cones to fill bone defects and enhance long-term fixation. This study evaluated the clinical and functional outcomes and survivorship in rTKA patients utilizing a rotating hinge prosthesis with flexible titanium (FT) cones, porous tantalum (PT) cones, or no cones.

Introduction: Flexion instability (FI) is increasingly being recognized as a common reason for failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the diagnosis remains loosely defined and is often described by a constellation of symptoms and findings with the exclusion of other clinical entities. The purpose of this study was to examine the definition and diagnostic criteria of FI used in the current peer-reviewed literature.
