Abstract Purpose of Review To describe the (1) indications,(2) preoperative precautions,
and (3) stepwise technical details of modern femoral stem cemented fixation. Recent …

Background and purpose—The optimal cementing technique for primary total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) remains unclear. We therefore performed a scoping review based on …

Restoration of neutral mechanical alignment is one of the prerequisites for long-term TKA
survival. This study aimed to investigate the effect of deviations from neutral alignment on …

When a stemmed TKA is needed in a femur in which a THA is already present, choosing an
appropriate length for the TKA stem is crucial. Many surgeons intuitively fear that the …

Purpose Most total knee arthroplasty tibial components are metal-backed, but an alternative
tibial component made entirely of polyethylene (all-polyethylene design) exists. While …

Augments are a common solution for treating bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) and industry is providing to surgeons several options, in terms of material, thickness …

Hydraulic presses are widely applied in various forming processes to manufacture products
with complex shapes, however, they are energy-intensive. In order to lower the energy …

Despite suggestions that tourniquet inflation during total knee replacement reduces
bleeding and hence improves cement penetration, no studies exist supporting this widely …

Bone-cement interface has been investigated under selected loading conditions, utilising
experimental techniques such as in situ mechanical testing and digital image correlation …

Background: Aseptic loosening is the most common cause for revision unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty and is associated with failure of the bone-cement or cement-implant …
