Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is undertaken in patients with a passively correctable varus deformity. Our hypothesis was that restoration of natural soft tissue tension would result in a comparable lower limb alignment with the contralateral normal lower limb after mobile-bearing medial UKA. In this retrospective study, hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, position of the weight-bearing axis (WBA) and knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) after mobile-bearing medial UKA was compared with the normal (clinically and radiologically) contralateral lower limb in 123 patients.Aims

Introduction.
Aims. This systematic review aims to compare the precision of component positioning, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), complications, survivorship, cost-effectiveness, and learning curves of MAKO robotic arm-assisted
Aims. The aim of this study was to conduct a cross-sectional, observational cohort study of patients presenting for revision of a total hip, or total or
Introduction. A key outcome measured by national joint registries are revision events. This informs best practice and identifies poor-performing surgical devices. Although registry data often record reasons for revision arthroplasty, interpretation is limited by lack of standardised definitions of revision reasons and objective assessment of radiologic and laboratory parameters. Our study aim was to compare reasons for
Introduction. This study assessed outcomes of total knee joint replacements (TKJR) in patients who had undergone previous periarticular osteotomy compared with

Objectives.
Abstract. Aims. The association between body mass index (BMI) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is well studied, but remains unclear in the literature. We aimed to determine whether morbid obesity (BMI≥40) was associated with increased risk of VTE following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or
