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.

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
