Proprioception after unicondylar knee arthroplasty versus total knee arthroplasty.
Proprioception was measured in 2 groups of patients after successful knee arthroplasty. Twenty-eight patients had total knee arthroplasty and their results were compared with an age matched group of 10 subjects who had undergone unicondylar knee arthroplasty. The threshold to detection of passive motion was quantified as a measure of proprioception. The degree of preoperative arthritis was obje...
متن کاملTotal knee arthroplasty in patients with a previous patellectomy.
Post-patellectomy patients represent a specific subgroup of patients that may develop arthritis and persistent knee pain and potentially require treatment with total knee arthroplasty. This article reviews the treatment and functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty in patients with prior patellectomy.

متن کاملRevision of Unicondylar to Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
Isolated unicompartmental osteoarthritis in the young patient is a difficult problem to treat; they may be too young to consider total knee arthroplasty due to difficulties with inevitable future revision. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is one possible solution as it is perceived by some as being a smaller surgical insult than total knee arthroplasty, with easier revision to total knee arth...
متن کاملPatient-specific guide for revision of medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty to total knee arthroplasty
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unicompartmental to total knee arthroplasty revision surgery can be technically demanding. Joint line restoration, rotation, and augmentations can cause difficulties. We describe a new technique in which single-way fitting guides serve to position the knee system cutting blocks. METHOD Preoperatively, images of the distal femur and proximal tibia are taken using CT scan...
متن کاملTotal Knee Arthroplasty in a Patient with an Ankylosing Knee after Previous Patellectomy
Patellectomized patients may have less satisfactory clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to a decreased extensor mechanism efficiency and potential instability. Furthermore, the existing literature does not provide concrete guidance on the expected results of TKA or the type of implant that should be used in patellectomized patients. We present a case of a patient with ...
