Background: Knee arthroplasty has emerged as an effective treatment for end-stage gonarthrosis. Although total knee arthroplasty remains the gold standard, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is an appropriate alternative for select patients. We sought to use a large, heterogeneous national database to identify differences in thirty-day complication rates between unicompartmental and total knee ...

The demand for revision knee arthroplasty is increasing daily with the increase in number of patients undergoing primary arthroplasty. aim therefore should be restoration mechanical alignment limb joint line and biomechanics these goals accomplished least possible use constrained implants which otherwise depends on degree bone defects integrity collateral ligaments. We have hereby reported a ca...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate whether intensity of state anxiety before operation depends on knee function. MATERIAL AND METHOD The study was conducted among 81 patients qualified to knee arthroplasty because of severe arthrosis. A knee function was evaluated with Knee Society score and Oxford questionnaires, and level of anxiety - with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by C.D. Spielb...

BACKGROUND The number of hip and knee arthroplasties completed is expected to double over the next decade. In public hospitals, regular post-arthroplasty orthopaedic review has commonly occurred for the duration of a patient's life, which requires substantial outpatient resources. However, there is limited evidence regarding the utility of these reviews for identifying complications. The curren...

OBJECTIVES To test whether bisphosphonate use is related to improved implant survival after total arthroplasty of the knee or hip. DESIGN Population based retrospective cohort study. SETTING Primary care data from the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS All patients undergoing primary total arthroplasty of the knee (n = 18,726) or hip (n = 23,269) in 1986-2006 within the United Kingdom's General...

BACKGROUND Trade-offs between upfront benefits and later risk of revision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty compared with those of total knee arthroplasty are poorly understood. The purpose of our study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with that of total knee arthroplasty across the age spectrum of patients undergoing knee replacement. METHODS Us...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of three-dimensional printing patient-specific instrumentation(PSI) versus conventional instrumentation(CI) in the total knee arthroplasty. Methods: According to "patient-specific" , "patient-matched" , "custom" , "Instrumentation" , "Guide Instrumentation" , "cutting blocks" , "total knee arthroplasty" , "total knee replacement" , "TKA" and "TKR" , the litera...

BACKGROUND Knee arthroplasty is increasing exponentially due to the aging of the population and to the broadening of indications. We aimed to compare physical disability and its evolution over two years in people with knee arthroplasty to that in the general population. A secondary objective was to compare the level of disabilities of people with knee to people with hip arthroplasty. METHODOL...

Abstract Introduction Total knee and hip arthroplasty significantly improve quality of life in people suffering from end-stage & arthritides. Enhanced recovery programs have shown improved outcomes following elective by decreasing patients anxiety, postoperative pain reducing the length hospital stay (LOS). The aim our study is to evaluate impact preoperative education on undergoing arthrop...
