» Inflammatory changes in osteoarthritis knees undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a prospective clinical and histopathological study
22/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is classically a degenerative joint disease; however, subclinical inflammation may coexist in a subset of patients, contributing to pain and poor outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Identify...

» Revision and re-revision after mobile- and fixed-bearing lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
21/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Background Limited information is available about revision after lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) due to infrequency of this procedure. The purpose of this study is to examine reason for failure, time to failure, patient ...

» Three dimensional printing in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: current evidence and future directions
20/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Background Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is increasingly used in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), including patient-specific instrumentation (PSI)/cutting guides, additively manufactured cementless implants, and fully pat...

» Greater knee flexion and patient-reported function after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty than after total knee arthroplasty: a propensity score–matched study
20/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare knee range of motion and 2011 Knee Society Score (2011KSS) after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in background–matched cohort. Methods UKA and TK...

» Distribution and changes in lower limb alignment using the coronal plane alignment of the knee classification system before and after total hip arthroplasty
18/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the standard treatment for hip osteoarthritis, yet its effects on lower limb alignment remain unclear. The coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification system, widely used in knee surg...

» Quantifying the environmental footprint of primary hip and knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and pooled-analysis of waste generation and carbon emissions
17/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Background Operating rooms contribute disproportionately to healthcare-related greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation. Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) are high-volume procedures with increasing globa...

» Hofmann articulating spacer vs preformed cement spacer two stage revision in native septic knee arthritis: a comparative study
15/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Purpose Septic arthritis (SA) of the native knee is a severe and increasingly prevalent condition, particularly among elderly and comorbid patients. When associated with end-stage degenerative joint disease, a two-stage total knee arthro...

» Association of oxidized regenerated cellulose powder and tranexamic acid during total knee arthroplasty: clinical outcomes
14/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the association of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) powder in perioperative blood management during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a subvastus approach with limited tourniquet use. Methods We...

» Posterior tibial plateau fractures: distinguishing valgus and varus patterns to guide surgical management
07/05/26 00:00 from Latest Results for International Orthopaedics
Background Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) remain challenging injuries due to their complex three-dimensional morphology, frequent posterior column involvement, and high incidence of associated soft-tissue lesions. Purpose Flexion-type f...

» Benefits of implementation of preoperative education classes for hip and knee arthroplasty
01/03/21 06:00 from Current Orthopaedic Practice - Current Issue
Introduction: Optimal patient outcomes after orthopaedic surgery rely on cooperative efforts of patients as well as performance of the care team. The purpose of this project was to design and implement a preoperative education class for ...

» Outcome of single radius constrained condylar device in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study
01/03/21 06:00 from Current Orthopaedic Practice - Current Issue
Background: Instability is a common cause of failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It can be reduced with constrained condylar knee (CCK) devices. Our aims were to evaluate survivorship and functional outcomes of CCK implants in p...
