Abstract. Background. Autologous chondrocyte implantation is a NICE approved intervention however it involves the morbidity of two operations, a prolonged rehabilitation and substantial healthcare costs. This study describes a novel, one-step,
Aims. The objective of this study is to assess the use of ultrasound (US) as a radiation-free imaging modality to reconstruct 3D anatomy of the knee for use in preoperative templating in knee arthroplasty. Methods. Using an US system, which is fitted with an electromagnetic (EM) tracker that is integrated into the US probe, allows 3D tracking of the probe, femur, and tibia. The raw US radiofrequency (RF) signals are acquired and, using real-time signal processing,

Failing total knee replacement management has included isotope bone scan to identify infection or loosening. BASK guidance suggests bone scans have a poor positive predictive value and are not advised. We assessed isotope bone scanning as a negative predictor to exclude loosening or infection in failing total knee replacement. Retrospective review of consecutive bone scans performed to investigate painful total knee replacements for a one-year period (June 2017 to June 2018). 166 bone scans performed. 33 excluded (no notes or scan for other reasons). Demographic information, age of prosthesis, clinic review date, serological markers, results of aspiration and subsequent intraoperative findings also recorded.Abstract

The role of the (PCL) in modulating knee kinematics has been well documented. We asked whether function of the (PCL) would be better preserved by incorporating a three-dimensional model for planning and placement. We evaluated patients (n=59) enrolled into a, prospective, study of conventional instrumentation (25) vs. 3D modeling (34) for (CR) TKA from July 2016 to Feb 2018. Follow-up included clinical exams, PROMs, and serial radiographs up to 24 months after surgery. We measured kinematic patterns radiographically at two years postoperatively. Variables were compared using simple linear regression, one-way ANOVA, and Fisher's exact test. We hypothesized that: 1. well-preserved PCL would demonstrate a more normal kinematic pattern of increasing rollback with increasing knee flexion without paradoxical movement, and 2. this pattern would be associated with improved intra- and post-operative motion and function.Introduction
