Provider volume and other predictors of outcome after total knee arthroplasty: a population study in Ontario.

In so doing, men and women with comparable levels of arthritis will be sent to physicians to establish their recommendations for total knee arthroplasty.

"We therefore postulated that early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty could accelerate the capacity of patients for daily life activities, and reduce their hospital stay."

Current concepts in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty (Lippincott-Raven, 1996)

Patellar component positioning in total knee arthroplasty.

However, there is mounting evidence of disparities in the use of total hip and total knee arthroplasty between men and women.

Patient-specific Approach in Total Knee Arthroplasty.

The only competitive reduced-wear option for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is metal-on-cross-linked polyethylene.

Total knee replacement (also known as total knee arthroplasty) is generally performed in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to correct valgus deformity is surgically difficult and requires specialized implants called constrained condylar knees.

Total Knee Arthroplasty was first re-designed in England and developed in the USA during the early seventies of the previous Century.

"Obesity does not negate good surgical outcome in total knee arthroplasty," said lead study author Chin Tat Lim , MD.

Various surgical models (hemorrhoidectomy, herniorrhaphy, bunionectomy or total knee arthroplasty) and routes of administration (wound infiltration, subcutaneous, epidural or nerve block) were studied.

The OrthoSensor Knee Trial is an intelligent trial that provides quantitative, intra-operative feedback to surgeons to optimize joint balance during total knee arthroplasty.

Henricson, A., Dalen, T., and Nilsson, K. G. Mobile bearings do not improve fixation in cemented total knee arthroplasty.

In the Phase 3 program, an Adlea concentration of 0.25 mg/mL (1 mg instillation in bunionectomy and 15 mg in total knee arthroplasty) will be evaluated.

"Overall, total knee arthroplasty in elderly patients resulted in significant gains in their quality of life, which was reflected in both health- and social-related quality of life score dimensions."

Abstract: Clinical observations indicate that following total knee arthroplasty, a large proportion of patients in the early post-operative period is either reluctant or unable to actively perform voluntary quadriceps muscle contractions.

A randomised, controlled clinical trial was therefore used to provide some preliminary data on the efficacy of a defined protocol of electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscles following total knee arthroplasty.

Knee manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is indicated for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who have not obtained at least 90 of flexion by the 6th postoperative week.

The study found that patients in their 80s can benefit both physically and socially from knee replacement surgery, also called total knee arthroplasty (TKA), once thought too risky for the very elderly.
