Adaptation to prosthesis is important for occupation, quality of life, and participation in social life, so it needs to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) in lower limb amputees. The FJS-12 was applied to 80 amputees. Criterion-referenced validity was assessed using the activity restriction subparameter of Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale (TAPES). The internal consistency of the FJS-12 was high (Cronbach's α = .943). A statistically significant very good negative correlation was determined between the FJS-12 and the activity restriction subparameter of TAPES ( = -.641; < .001). The results of this study showed that FJS-12 is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to assess the adaptation to prosthesis in amputees. Evaluation of prosthesis awareness in daily living activities of amputees is important in terms of establishing occupational therapy and rehabilitation programs.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine if using automated femoral rotation planning in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was associated with differences in functional outcomes compared to patients who underwent manually set femoral rotation in RA-TKA or conventional TKA (C-TKA).
Methods: This was a retrospective, multi-center study of patients who underwent TKA utilizing conventional methods with femoral component rotation set to three degrees externally (C-TKA) [n = 108 knees], RA-TKA with automated femoral rotation planning intrinsic to the system (A-RA-TKA) [n = 111], and RA-TKA with femoral rotation manually set by the surgeon (M-RA-TKA) [n = 152], at least one year before follow-up. Outcome measures included the range of motion (ROM), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes 2 years following surgery between robotic-arm assisted bi-unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (bi-UKA) compared with conventional mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: This is a single-centre, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial comparing bi-UKA and TKA. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were collected from 60 patients (27 bi-UKA and 33 TKA patients) 2 years following surgery, including Oxford Knee Score (OKS), New Knee Society Score (NKSS), Forgotten Joint Score, EQ-5D-3L, UCLA activity scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Pain and Stiffness Visual Analogue Scales, Satisfaction and Range of Motion.

Background And Purpose: Periprosthetic knee fractures (PPKFs) can be a serious complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to compare patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores reported between 1 and 4 years after PPKF with a matched uncomplicated TKA control group.
Methods: This nationwide cross-sectional matched cohort study included 372 TKA patients with a PPKF occurring from 2019 to 2022 and a control group of 878 uncomplicated TKA patients matched by age, time since TKA, and sex.

Introduction: Mechanically aligned (MA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is regarded as a gold standard; however, some patients report dissatisfaction post-surgery. Functional alignment (FA) is a potential alternative, integrating kinematic alignment (KA) principles with pre-resection bone balancing within defined boundaries. The use of FA aims to improve outcomes by restoring native joint lines and optimizing soft-tissue balance.

Introduction: Alternative strategies in total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) have been developed to obtain improved outcomes utilizing implant realignment and positioning to balance the soft tissues while accepting a non-neutral mechanical alignment. The purpose of our study was to compare two-year outcomes of a matched set of TKAs with soft-tissue gaps either "functional" balanced via robotic-arm-assisted changes to implant position and alignment prior to bone cuts (R-TKA) or manual instrument-adjusted mechanical alignment (M-TKA). We hypothesized that the R-TKA cohort would have superior patient outcomes.
