Purpose: Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is performed to reduce pain and improve the function of lower limb. Most current literature focuses on kinematics pre post-TKR, compared healthy controls. However, there limited research exploring hip ankle before after TKR comparing them non-pathological subjects (NP). This study aims explore differences in hip, sagittal frontal planes post-TKR inv...

INTRODUCTION Considerable evidence suggests that patients with more advantaged Socio-Economic Positions undergo Total Hip and Knee Replacement (THR/TKR) more often, despite having a lower need. We questioned whether more disadvantaged Socio-Economic Position is associated with an lower improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and a lower patient satisfaction after THR/TKR. METHOD...

Abstract Aim Kinesiophobia, the fear of physical movement and activity related to injury vulnerability, has been linked sub-optimal outcomes following total knee replacement (TKR). This systematic review two aims: define relationship between kinesiophobia functional outcomes, pain range motion TKR, evaluate published treatments for TKR. Method A primary search was performed in March 2020. Engli...

Background: Understanding the femorotibial mechanical axis (FTMA) of leg is a necessary requirement to assess outcome total knee replacement (TKR). Short radiographs, which only capture joint and do not include center femoral head ankle, provide us anatomical (FTAA), FTMA. The purpose this study was compare FTMA FTAA before after navigated TKR. Methods: In 130 patients undergoing surgery implan...

Total Knee replacement (TKR) is one of the commonest arthroplasty surgeries performed. Various techniques of closures in TKR are described. This technical note describes an useful technique of achieving water tight closure in TKR. An optimal tension watertight closure also reduces the chances of dead space hematomas and infection. The author has described his technique where the soft tissues ar...

Objective Tourniquet use in total knee replacement (TKR) is believed to improve the bone-cement interface by reducing bleeding, potentially prolonging implant survival. This study aimed compare risk of revision for primary cemented TKR performed with or without a tourniquet. Design We analysed data from National Joint Registry (NJR) all TKRs England and Wales between April 2003 December 2003. K...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) and body weight on theatre utilisation time during primary total hip (THR) and knee replacements (TKR). METHODS A total of 1859 cases were included (820 THR and 1039 TKR). Patients were divided into groups based on BMI and body weight. The time interval from 'starting anaesthesia' to 'transfer back to recovery...

OBJECTIVE Cost-effectiveness analysis of apixaban vs. dabigatran in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in total knee (TKR) or hip (THR) replacement. METHODS Model with two periods: post-prophylaxis period of 90 days (short term) and 5 years (Markov). VTE complications (distal and proximal deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding and post-thrombotic syndrome) were included. The ...

background: modern knee designs have popularized its use in younger patients due to its better performance. there remains uncertainty whether higher demands of these patients can affect implant survivorship.    purpose: to assess whether modern knee designs have provided similar results in patients younger than 70 years versus older patients. methods: we included 203 consecutive patients (236 k...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated tyrosine kinase receptor (TKR) expression and activation in canine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (cpAC) biospecimens. As histological similarities exist between human and cpAC, we hypothesized that cpACs will have increased TKR mRNA and protein expression as well as TKR phosphorylation. The molecular profile of cpAC has not been well characterized making the selection...
