Background Most TKA prostheses are designed based on the anatomy of white patients.
Individual studies have identified key anthropometric differences between the knees of the …

Introduction Considerable anatomic variations of sagittal femoral condylar shape have been
reported, with a continuum between spherical (or single-radius) and ovoid (or multi-radius) …

Background Historically, knee arthroplasties have been designed using average patient
anatomy. Recent advances in imaging and manufacturing have facilitated the development …

Background Morphological differences between female and male knees have been reported
in the literature, which led to the development of so-called gender-specific implants …

Normative tibiofemoral data of Chinese or Asian subjects during gait is rarely reported. This
study is aimed at investigating the six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) knee kinematics of adult …

Purpose The objective of this study was to provide a morphologic description of the distal
femur and to determine whether there are any gender differences in the shape that might …

Background Restoration of posterior condylar offset during TKA is believed to be important
to improving knee kinematics, maximizing ROM, and minimizing flexion instability. However …

Background Objects that manifest in several characteristic shapes, or morphotypes, are
typically caused by some hidden variable. For example, the gender of a person influences …

• More anatomic surgical procedures and implants may better reproduce native joint
kinematics.• Improving perioperative care and reducing adverse events will remain major …

Background: Contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) provides remarkable clinical
benefits. However, the normal function of the knee is not fully restored. Recent …
