The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between femoral torsion and morphology of the distal femoral condyle in patients with trochlear dysplasia and lateral patellar instability. A total of 90 patients (64 female, 26 male; mean age 22.1 years (SD 7.2)) with lateral patellar dislocation and trochlear dysplasia who were awaiting surgical treatment between January 2015 and June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent CT scans of the lower limb to assess the femoral torsion and morphology of the distal femur. The femoral torsion at various levels was assessed using the a) femoral anteversion angle (FAA), b) proximal and distal anteversion angle, c) angle of the proximal femoral axis-anatomical epicondylar axis (PFA-AEA), and d) angle of the AEA–posterior condylar line (AEA-PCL). Representative measurements of distal condylar length were taken and parameters using the ratios of the bianterior condyle, biposterior condyle, bicondyle, anterolateral condyle, and anteromedial condyle were calculated and correlated with reference to the AEA, using the Pearson Correlation coefficient.Aims

Minimally invasive total knee replacement (MIS-TKR)
has been reported to have better early recovery than conventional
TKR. Quadriceps-sparing (QS) TKR is the least invasive MIS procedure,
but it is technically demanding with higher reported rates of complications
and outliers. This study was designed to compare the early clinical
and radiological outcomes of TKR performed by an experienced surgeon
using the QS approach with or without navigational assistance (NA),
or using a mini-medial parapatellar (MP) approach. In all, 100 patients
completed a minimum two-year follow-up: 30 in the NA-QS group, 35
in the QS group, and 35 in the MP group. There were no significant
differences in clinical outcome in terms of ability to perform a

Aims. The aim of this prospective randomised study was to compare the
time course of clinical improvement during the first two years following
a closing or opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). It was hypothesised
that there would be no differences in clinical outcome between the
two techniques. Patients and Methods. Between 2007 and 2013, 70 consecutive patients were randomly
allocated to undergo either a closing or opening wedge HTO. All
patients had medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA), and were aged
between 30 years and 60 years. They were evaluated by independent
investigators pre-operatively and at three and six months, and one
and two years post-operatively using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis
