Improved knee flexion following high-flexion total knee arthroplasty
BACKGROUND The application of new techniques and materials in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continue to be a primary focus in orthopedic surgery. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate post TKA total range of motion (ROM) among a group of patients who received a gender specific high-flexion design modification implant compared to a control group of patients who received non-gender ...
متن کاملMeasured flexion following total knee arthroplasty.
Postoperative flexion is an important factor in the outcome of total knee arthroplasty. Although normal activities of daily living require a minimum of 105° to 110° of flexion, patients from non-Western cultures often engage in activities such as kneeling and squatting that require higher flexion. The desire to achieve greater flexion serves as the driving force for prosthetic modifications, in...
متن کاملKnee flexion after total knee arthroplasty.
PURPOSE To identify factors related to knee flexion after total knee arthroplasty in a Chinese population. METHODS Records of 242 total knee arthroplasties were retrospectively reviewed. The parameters evaluated were age, gender, diagnosis, preoperative knee flexion and extension, preoperative flexion arc, tibiofemoral angle, Knee Society knee score and functional score, and implant design. ...
متن کاملHigh flexion knee arthroplasty: the relationship between rotational angles and flexion angle after total knee arthroplasty
The current patients required high flexion total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized the patients who would get the high rotational angle just after TKA could gain high flexion knee 1 year after TKA. Sixty-three patients (average age: 70.6 years) were examined. In order to examine between the intraoperative rotational angles and the gained flexion angles after TKA, the patients were divide...
متن کاملReview article: knee flexion after total knee arthroplasty.
Many factors affect or predict the flexion range achieved after total knee arthroplasty. While the knees that have good preoperative flexion have better final flexion, knees with good preoperative flexion do lose some flexion whereas those with poor preoperative flexion can gain flexion. Although studies of different prosthetic designs have produced conflicting results, recent studies appear to...
