There are concerns that trainee performed knee arthroplasty (KA) may adversely affect patient outcomes. Demand for KA is projected to increase, and trainees must therefore be competent to perform it.

Mashup Score: 1Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for the management of knee prosthetic joint infection - 4 year(s) ago
While two-stage revision arthroplasty is viewed as the gold standard for the treatment of knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in terms of infection eradication, it is associated with significant cost along with patient morbidity and mortality. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is an attractive option as it has demonstrated better patient outcomes, comparable implant…

Mashup Score: 1Diagnosis of knee periprosthetic joint infection - 4 year(s) ago
The first step in the management of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is clinical suspicion and making an accurate and timely diagnosis. Despite significant progress in the development of diagnostic techniques for PJI, no single gold standard test has yet been identified.

There has been significant improvement in the approach to the assessment of outcome following primary arthroplasty surgery over the last 10 years [1]. This in turn has enhanced the approach to measuring outcome in patients after revision knee replacement (KR), who in general are a more complex and diverse group of patients. Accurately assessing outcome is firstly most important at the individual…

The Medacta GMK-Sphere total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is designed to mimic the movements and stabilimidty of a natural knee for optimal post-operative function and mobility. This study aimed to quantify the early functional outcome of patients with this implant.

The function of the popliteus muscle is largely treated as a static stabilizer and has a lack of basic muscular architectural data to enable study of its dynamic function. A large volume of literature supports its static function and the essential need for reconstruction in the posterolateral knee when injured to restore knee stability.
