This review article provides an overview of techniques used to determine human knee joint contact forces during squatting. The main two approaches are experimental and theoretical. Thigh calf contact has a significant effect on knee forces and should not be neglected. In this study, data were searched electronically and organized by techniques to find knee joint contact force during squatting theoretically and experimentally. There was a large variation in peak tibiofemoral (CV = 0.45) and patellofemoral (CV = 0.38) contact forces predicted theoretically. However, very little variation was observed between peak tibiofemoral contact forces (CV = 0.12) measured in vivo experimentally but measured knee joint force is available up to a limited knee flexion angle. There was a reduction in knee joint contact forces due to thigh calf contact. Literature of knee joint contact force prediction theoretically during squatting incorporating thigh calf contact force is very limited.

Introduction: Cruciate retaining and posterior stabilizing knee systems are frequently used in total knee replacements. Most researchers compare the results of Cruciate Retaining (CR) and Posterior Stabilizing (PS) knees with those of a control group. The results of using both knee systems in a single patient in simultaneous Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) have been studied less.

Background/objective: Adequate postoperative analgesics are an essential element in the recovery and rehabilitation of large joint lower-limb arthroplasty patients in their acute postoperative phase. In this study, we will establish that strong opioids like morphine should be included as postoperative analgesics to improve patient satisfaction. Material: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Arthroplasty Ward, Trauma, and Orthopaedics Department in a district general hospital of the United Kingdom.
