INTRODUCTION. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective technique to treat end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. One important goal of the procedure is to restore physiological knee kinematics. However, fluoroscopy studies have consistently shown abnormal knee kinematics after TKA, which may lead to suboptimal clinical outcomes.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective technique to treat end-stage knee osteoarthritis, targeting the restore a physiological knee kinematics. However, studies have shown abnormal knee kinematics after TKA which may lead to suboptimal clinical outcomes.
This study was designed to emphasise the need for strict rotational alignment whilst performing a
Introduction. Pre-clinical assessment of total knee replacements (TKR) can provide useful information about the constraint provided by an implant, and therefore help the surgeon decide the most appropriate configurations. For example, increasing the

PURPOSE:. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is becoming more commonly performed and is more technically challenging than total knee replacement. Retention of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments requires more accurate re-creation of the patient's normal anatomic
Conventional proximal tibial osteotomy is a widely successful joint-preserving treatment for osteoarthritis; however, conventional procedures do not adequately control the
Coronal alignment is an important factor in long-term survival of TKA. Many implant systems are available and most aim to produce a
Introduction. Optimal alignment of the tibial component in TKA is an important consideration. General agreement exists on the appropriate coronal alignment. However there is no consensus on sagittal alignment (posterior slope). Some surgeons target a fixed
