Aims. The purpose of this study is to determine an individual’s age-specific prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after cruciate
Aims. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a highly congruent condylar-stabilized (CS) articulation may be advantageous due to increased stability versus cruciate-retaining (CR) designs, while mitigating the limitations of a posterior-stabilized construct. The aim was to assess ten-year implant survival and functional outcomes of a cemented single-radius TKA with a CS insert, performed without posterior cruciate
Aims. Options for the treatment of intra-articular ligament injuries are limited, and insufficient
Aims. A significant percentage of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to determine whether the sequential addition of accelerometer-based navigation for femoral component preparation and sensor-guided

There have been differing descriptions of the
anterolateral structures of the knee, and not all have been named
or described clearly. The aim of this study was to provide a clear
anatomical interpretation of these structures. We dissected 40 fresh-frozen
cadaveric knees to view the relevant anatomy and identified a consistent
structure in 33 knees (83%); we termed this the anterolateral ligament
of the knee. This structure passes antero-distally from an attachment
proximal and posterior to the lateral femoral epicondyle to the
margin of the lateral tibial plateau, approximately midway between
Gerdy’s tubercle and the head of the fibula. The
Objectives. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is one surgical option for treating symptomatic medial osteoarthritis. Clinical studies have shown the functional benefits of UKA; however, the optimal alignment of the tibial component is still debated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of tibial coronal and sagittal plane alignment in UKA on knee kinematics and cruciate

We designed an experimental study to prove the existence of the popliteofibular
We carried out a prospective study of 71 patients who had undergone reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with the ABC scaffold. Their mean age was 28 years (18 to 50). All had either sub-acute or chronic traumatic deficiency of the

We present the operative technique and clinical results of concomitant reconstruction of the medial collateral
We report the results of a prospective randomised trial which assessed the role of the posterior cruciate
We have undertaken a randomized clinical trial comparing two methods of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in patients with chronic instability. We used an ipsilateral bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft in 27 patients and the
We have examined the relationship between the size of the flexion gap and the anterior translation of the tibia in flexion during implantation of a posterior cruciate
We report a retrospective analysis of the results of combined arthroscopically-assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and open reconstruction of the posterolateral corner in 19 patients with chronic (three or more months) symptomatic instability and pain in the knee. All the operations were performed between 1996 and 2003 and all the patients were assessed pre- and post-operatively by physical examination and by applying three different
The management of traumatic dislocation of the knee in 40 patients (41 knees) with a mean age of 26.3 years is described. They were treated by primary repair and reconstruction with autologous grafting of the anterior (ACL) and posterior cruciate

We investigated the role of a functional brace worn for four months in the treatment of patients with an acute isolated tear of the posterior cruciate
