In a prospective multicentre study we investigated
variations in pain management used by knee arthroplasty surgeons
in order to compare the differences in pain levels among patients
undergoing
We have previously reported the short-term radiological
results of a randomised controlled trial comparing kinematically
aligned
We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the effect of femoral bowing on the placement of components in
Aims. Multimodal infiltration of local anaesthetic provides effective
control of pain in patients undergoing
Collateral ligament release is advocated in total
knee arthroplasty (TKA) to deal with significant coronal plane deformities,
but is also associated with significant disadvantages. We describe steps to avoid release of the collateral (superficial
medial and lateral collateral) ligaments during
Objectives. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a potential treatment
for isolated bone on bone osteoarthritis when limited to a single
compartment. The risk for revision of UKA is three times higher
than for
