primary knee osteoarthritis (oa) is one of the degenerative diseases that destroy auricular cartilage within knee joint and cause pain, varies deformity, decrease knee function. total knee arthroplasty (tka) is an effective intervention in order to relieve pain, improve function and qol (quality of life) in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knees that have different degrees of varus de...

We describe a unique, utilitarian reconstructive treatment option known as tibial "spackling" for chronic, localized medial joint line pain corresponding with progressive radiographic peripheral medial tibial bone loss beneath a well-fixed revision total knee arthroplasty tibial baseplate. It is believed that this localized pain is due to chronic irritation of the medial capsule and collateral ...

PURPOSE To understand the relationship between tibial bone defect and extent of medial release in total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 32 knees in 22 patients with variable degrees of tibial bone defect on medial plateau has undergone total knee arthroplasty. In this study, 31 cases had been diagnosed as degenerative osteoarthritis and 1 case was osteonecrosis. We exclu...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of autologous morselised bone grafting for a medial tibial defect of ≥10 mm deep in 45 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). METHODS 38 patients aged 46 to 85 (mean, 73) years underwent 45 TKAs and autologous morselised bone grafting for a medial tibial defect of ≥10 (range, 10-25) mm in depth by a single surgeon. In the first 19 TKAs, 2 resected subchondral bone p...

BACKGROUND Although there are many surgical treatments for covering the skin defect of the fore-mid foot, how to reconstruct the weight-bearing region remains a challenge. The weight-bearing region of the sole needs to withstand the pressure and shearing stresses of walking, so the plantar skin is anatomically different from other skins in the areas of texture, thickness, subcutaneous tissue, e...

Tumor resection causes damage in the head and neck which creates problems in swallowing, chewing, articulation, and vision, all of which seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this work, we evaluated the application of a free medial tibial flap in reconstruction of head and neck defects after tumor resection. We discussed the anatomy, surgical technique, and the advantages and disadvant...
