Abstract. Objectives. Unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty (UKA and TKA) are successful treatments for osteoarthritis, but monolithic implants disrupt the natural homeostasis of bone which leads to bone loss over time. This can cause problems if the implant needs to be revised. This study aimed to demonstrate that tibial implants made from titanium lattice could replace the tibial condyle surface while minimising disruption of the bone's natural mechanical loading environment. A secondary aim was to determine whether implants perform better if they replicate more closely bone's mechanical modulus, anisotropy and spatial heterogeneity. This study was conducted in a human cadaveric model. Methods. In a cadaveric model, UKA and TKA procedures were performed on 8 fresh-frozen knee specimens by a board-certified consultant orthopaedic surgeon, using tibial implants made from conventional monolithic material and titanium lattice structures. Stress at the bone-implant interfaces was measured with pressure film and compared to the native knee. Results. Titanium lattice implants were able to restore the mechanical environment seen in the native
Introduction. Correction of multiplanar bone deformities in children is indicated for prevention of secondary orthopaedic complications. Different problems related to surgical intervention were reported: non-union, delayed union, recurrent deformity, refracture, nerve palsy and pin tract infection. The aim of this study was to show the results of children femur and
