Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable
procedure with reproducible long-term results. Nevertheless, there
are conditions related to the type of patient or local conditions
of the knee that can make it a difficult procedure. The most common
scenarios that make it difficult are discussed in this review. These
include patients with many previous operations and incisions, and
those with severe coronal deformities, genu recurvatum, a stiff knee,
extra-articular deformities and those who have previously undergone
osteotomy around the knee and those with chronic dislocation of
the patella. Each condition is analysed according to the characteristics of
the patient, the pre-operative planning and the reported outcomes. When approaching the difficult primary TKA surgeons should use
a systematic approach, which begins with the review of the existing
literature for each specific clinical situation. Cite this article:
Accurate quantitative measurements of micromovement immediately after operation would be a reliable indicator of the stability of an individual component. We have therefore developed a system for measuring micromovement of the tibial component using three non-contact displacement transducers attached to the tibial cortex during

The purpose of the present study was to examine the long-term
fixation of a cemented fixed-bearing polished titanium tibial baseplate
(Genesis ll). Patients enrolled in a previous two-year prospective trial (n
= 35) were recalled at ten years. Available patients (n = 15) underwent
radiostereometric analysis (RSA) imaging in a supine position using
a conventional RSA protocol. Migration of the tibial component in
all planes was compared between initial and ten-year follow-up.
Outcome scores including the Knee Society Score, Western Ontario
and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, 12-item Short Form Health
