Accurate alignment of knee implants is essential for the success total replacement. Although mechanical guides have been designed to improve accuracy, there are several fundamental limitations this technology that will inhibit additional improvements. Various computer assisted techniques developed examine potential instal more accurately and consistently than can be done with guides. For example, integrated instrumentation incorporates highly accurate measurement devices locate joint...
Surgical robotics has been shown to improve the accuracy of bone preparation and soft tissue balance in unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, although extensive data have emerged with regard a CT scan-based haptically constrained robotic arm, little is known about newer alternative, an imageless system.We assessed novel semiautonomous freehand sculpting system performing resection UKA using cadaveric specimens.In this controlled study, we compared planned final implant placement 25...
Controlled laboratory study.Varus knee instability arising from lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury increases stress on cruciate grafts, potentially leading to failure of reconstructed ligaments. In contrast the medial (MCL), little is known about structural properties LCL.To compare tensile LCL and MCL complex human joint.Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric knees (mean ± SD age, 81 11 years), free gross musculoskeletal pathology, were obtained. Following dissection, length, width, thickness...
The purpose of this randomized, prospective study was to compare accuracy in runnel placement as performed with a traditional arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction technique and KneeNav™ ACL, computer-assisted surgical navigation technique. Two surgeons experienced ACL reconstruction, but inexperienced technique, each randomly used guides or drill tunnel twenty identical foam knees. Placement the resulting tibial femoral tunnels measured digitizing method compared...

Function and satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are partially linked to postoperative range of motion (ROM). Fixed flexion contracture is a recognized complication TKA that reduces ROM source morbidity for patients. This study aimed identify preoperative risk factors developing fixed following quantify the effect on outcomes (Oxford score 12-60 patient satisfaction) at 2 years. Pre-, intra-, data 811 TKAs were retrospectively reviewed. At years postoperatively, incidence was...
The restoration of a normal mechanical axis the lower limb following total knee prosthesis (TKP) depends on accuracy intra-operative measurement femoro-tibial angle. We have studied reproducibility coronal with OrthoPilot (Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) non-image-based navigation system.A consecutive series 20 TKP (Aesculap SEARCH Evolution prosthesis) implanted by same surgical team two senior orthopedic surgeons was analyzed. They used system that allows axes femur and tibia to be defined...
The learning curve for computer navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not well defined. We collected data prospectively on a consultant surgeon's first 50 TKAs. Over the same period, matching was taken from consecutive cases performed by an expert who has over 1000 From case, novice navigator able to achieve standard as in terms of post-implant mechanical alignment coronal and sagittal planes. Equally, at 6 weeks one year post-surgery there no significant difference mean Oxford score,...
