Introduction. Regional anesthesia is commonly utilized to minimize postoperative pain, improve function, and allow earlier rehabilitation following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The adductor canal block (ACB) provides effective analgesia of the anterior knee. However, patients will often experience posterior pain not covered by the ACB requiring supplemental opioid medications. A technique involving infiltration of local anesthetic between the
Introduction The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence, in Australia, of
Locking after total knee replacement is uncommon and is generally caused by the formation of fibrous tissue around the patella. We report an unusual cause of locking resulting from intermittent occlusion of the
The February 2014 Knee Roundup. 360 . looks at: whether sham surgery is as good as arthroscopic meniscectomy; distraction in knee osteoarthritis; whether trans-tibial tunnel placement increases the risk of graft failure in ACL surgery; whether joint replacements prevent cardiac events; the size of the pulmonary embolism problem; tranexamic acid and knee replacement haemostasis; matching the demand for knee replacement and follow-up; predicting the length of stay after knee replacement; and
1. A case of traumatic aneurysm in the popliteal fossa after a lateral meniscectomy is described. 2. Relevant factors in the surgical anatomy of the inferior genicular artery are discussed. 3. The value and limitations of angiography of the
Orthopaedic problems are common in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Articular hypermobility can be particularly disabling leading to instability in the appendicular skeleton. We present a case of an EDS patient presenting with knee pain and instability. It highlights important lessons to be learned when considering joint replacement in this patient group. A 51 year old lady with EDS underwent a posterior cruciate retaining total knee replacement for pain and instability. She dislocated her knee replacement three months post-operatively after a fall. Her knee was reduced at her local emergency department causing injury to the
