Radiosynovectomy is a local and minimally invasive radiotherapy for treating various chronic inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and haemophilic arthropathy. In haemophilic arthropathy, it reduces the frequency of haemarthrosis and delays the development of severe joint destruction, which ultimately requires surgical intervention. Its role in warfarin-related hae...

We describe a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS), who developed recurrent dislocations after total knee arthroplasty. She had both knees replaced using similar mobile-bearing knee prostheses, but the outcome was worse in the leg which was more severely affected with MS.

Patellar instability is a common occurrence in the skeletally immature patient population, and multiple treatment options exist. Nonoperative treatment is appropriate for patients without osteochondral injuries and includes bracing and physical therapy focusing on strengthening of the gluteals as well as the vastus medialis obliquus muscles. Risk factors for recurrent instability include patell...

prosthetic joint infection (pji) is a serious complication of total knee arthroplasty (tka). control of infection after a failed two-stage tka is not always possible, and the resolution of infection may require an above-knee amputation (aka) or a the-knee (kf). the purpose of this review is to determine which treatment method (aka or kf) yields better function and ambulatory status for patients...

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic, commonly utilized in orthopedic procedures for the purpose of reducing perioperative bleeding and need transfusion. The this double-blinded randomized controlled trial was to evaluate use TXA patients undergoing TTO reduce post-operative intra-articular hemarthrosis. A double-blind conducted who underwent TTO. Fifty were equally control experimental...

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 1150 computer-assisted total knee replacements and analysed the clinical and radiological outcomes of 45 knees that had arthritis with a pre-operative recurvatum deformity. The mean pre-operative hyperextension deformity of 11° (6° to 15°), as measured by navigation at the start of the operation, improved to a mean flexion deformity of 3.1° (0° to 7°) ...

AIMS Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, locally aggressive and potentially recurrent synovial disease. We present the largest single-centre experience of knee PVNS. Our aim was to evaluate our tertiary hospital's experience in the management of knee PVNS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective data collection of consecutive cases of knee PVNS from 2002 to 2015. RESULTS In total,...
