Aims. A significant percentage of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to determine whether the sequential addition of accelerometer-based navigation for femoral component preparation and sensor-guided

There have been differing descriptions of the
anterolateral structures of the knee, and not all have been named
or described clearly. The aim of this study was to provide a clear
anatomical interpretation of these structures. We dissected 40 fresh-frozen
cadaveric knees to view the relevant anatomy and identified a consistent
structure in 33 knees (83%); we termed this the anterolateral ligament
of the knee. This structure passes antero-distally from an attachment
proximal and posterior to the lateral femoral epicondyle to the
margin of the lateral tibial plateau, approximately midway between
Gerdy’s tubercle and the head of the fibula. The
Objectives. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is one surgical option for treating symptomatic medial osteoarthritis. Clinical studies have shown the functional benefits of UKA; however, the optimal alignment of the tibial component is still debated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of tibial coronal and sagittal plane alignment in UKA on knee kinematics and cruciate

is similar to skin wound healing. Menopause impairs skin wound healing

We carried out a prospective study of 71 patients who had undergone reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with the ABC scaffold. Their mean age was 28 years (18 to 50). All had either sub-acute or chronic traumatic deficiency of the
