Objectives. Throughout the 20th Century, it has been postulated that the knee moves on the basis of a four-bar link mechanism composed of the cruciate ligaments, the femur and the tibia. As a consequence, the femur has been thought to roll back with flexion, and

Aims. The number of revision total knee arthroplasties (TKA) that are
performed is expected to increase. However, previous reports of
the causes of failure after
Aims.
During the last ten years, greater attention
has been given to the management of peri-operative blood loss after
total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as it is a modifiable outcome that has
a significant effect on the rate of complications, the recovery,
and the economic burden. Blood loss after
The aim of this study was to compare the results in patients having a quadriceps sparing

Aims. This study investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI)
on the post-operative fall in the level of haemoglobin (Hb), length
of hospital stay (LOS), 30-day re-admission rate, functional outcome
and quality of life, two years after
Aims. The primary aim of the study was to compare the knee-specific functional outcome of robotic unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (rUKA) with manual
Aims. The aims of this study were to compare the efficacy and safety
of intra-articular and intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) in
controlling perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) using a randomized, double-blinded equivalence trial. Patients and Methods. A total of 182 patients aged between 45 and 75 years undergoing

Between 1989 and 1992 we had 102 knees suitable for unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). They were randomised to receive either a St Georg Sled UKR or a Kinematic modular
