Decreased Femoral Trochlear Length Associated With Increased Anterior Knee Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A New Anatomical Perspective.

Background: Anterior knee pain (AKP) and patello-femoral crepitus (PFCr) continue to plague total knee arthroplasty patients despite advances and modifications to implant design and surgical techniques. We present our study of the femoral trochlear length measurement preimplantation and postimplantation and its association with AKP/PFCr and clinical scores.

Methods: Using computer navigation, we obtained several measurements in 263 total knee arthroplasty (posterior-stabilized) patients, which included femoral native trochlear measurement (NTM) and difference in trochlear length between implant and native trochlea.

Does Postoperative Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose Hasten the Recovery of Hemoglobin in Patients Post Total Knee Arthroplasty?

Background: Timely and effective iron supplementation may help reduce the incidence of postoperative anemia and its associated problems. In this study, we aim to assess the efficacy of intravenous ferric carboxy maltose (FCM) on improving hemoglobin(Hb) level posttotal knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 263 patients who had undergone unilateral TKA with 157 patients in the study group (year 2019) and 106 in the control group (year 2016).

Where have all the diseases gone during the COVID-19 pandemic?

This article focuses on a marked drop in volumes in the lockdown period during the COVID-19 pandemic across all modalities X-ray, sonography, CT scan and MRI scans and compares the volumes of data between a private and public hospital in Mumbai. This trend has been witnessed globally also. Even with easing of lockdown this has not reflected in an increase in numbers.
