The long-term success of prosthetics greatly relies on the biomechanical/medical properties
of the implanted material. Inadequate biocompatibility or poor wear resistance can lead to …

Introduction Hinged total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants are a commonly used option
during revision or even primary surgery, but their complications are not as well known, due …

Introduction Knee surgery makes up a large share of the orthopedic surgery practice. Data
on how this activity has changed over time is not available in France, thus we wanted to do a …

Diamond-like carbon coatings may decrease implant wear, therefore, they are helping to
reduce aseptic loosening and increase service life of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). This …

This contribution is aimed at the detailed understanding of lubrication mechanisms within
total knee replacement. While Part I is focused on the experimental investigation, Part II …

Aims To determine the trajectories of patient reported pain and functional disability over five
years following total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A …

Aims Surgeons commonly resect additional distal femur during primary total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) to correct a flexion contracture, which leads to femoral joint line elevation …

Introduction The use of a sliding prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with increased
stress is an intermediate solution in primary surgery, between posteriorly stabilized …

Introduction The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be challenging and rests
on several principles. The use of diagnostic biomarkers, such as the synovial C-Reactive …

Background: Patellar complications are a consequential cause of failure of primary total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of …
