Analysis of the morphology of the distal femur, and by extension
of the femoral components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), has
largely been related to the aspect ratio, which represents the width
of the femur. Little is known about variations in trapezoidicity
(i.e. whether the femur is more rectangular or more trapezoidal).
This study aimed to quantify additional morphological characteristics
of the distal femur and identify anatomical features associated
with higher risks of over- or under-sizing of components in TKA. We analysed the shape of 114 arthritic knees at the time of primary
TKA using the pre-operative CT scans. The aspect ratio and trapezoidicity
ratio were quantified, and the post-operative prosthetic overhang
was calculated. We compared the morphological characteristics with
those of 12 TKA models.Aims

A postal questionnaire was sent to 10 000 patients more than one year after their total knee replacement (TKR). They were assessed using the Oxford knee score and were asked whether they were satisfied, unsure or unsatisfied with their TKR. The response rate was 87.4% (8231 of 9417 eligible questionnaires) and a total of 81.8% (6625 of 8095) of patients were satisfied. Multivariable regression modelling showed that patients with higher scores relating to the

Between January 1990 and December 2000 we carried out 226 SB Charité III disc replacements for lumbar disc degeneration in 160 patients. They were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 79 months (31 to 161) to determine the clinical and radiological outcome. The clinical results were collected by an independent observer, who was not involved in patient selection, treatment or follow-up, using a combination of outcome measures, including the Oswestry Disability Index.
