This study aimed to identify the effect of anatomical tibial component (ATC) design on load distribution in the periprosthetic tibial bone of Koreans using finite element analysis (FEA). 3D finite element models of 30 tibiae in Korean women were created. A symmetric tibial component (STC, NexGen LPS-Flex) and an ATC (Persona) were used in surgical simulation. We compared the FEA measurements (von Mises stress and principal strains) around the stem tip and in the medial half of the proximal tibial bone, as well as the distance from the distal stem tip to the shortest anteromedial cortical bone. Correlations between this distance and FEA measurements were then analyzed.Aims

Aims. This study investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI)
on patients’ function and quality of life ten years after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and Methods. A total of 126 patients who underwent unilateral TKA in 2006
were prospectively included in this retrospective study. They were
categorized into two groups based on BMI: < 30 kg/m. 2. (control)
and ≥ 30 kg/m. 2. (obese). Functional outcome was assessed
using the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), Knee Society Knee
Score (KSKS), and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). Quality of life was assessed
using the Physical (PCS) and Mental Component Scores (MCS) of the 36-Item
Short-Form Health Survey. Results. Patients in the obese group underwent
