Researchers found that a preoperative measurement of a patient’s femoral valgus angle could help them reduce the number of outliers of femoral component positioning in total knee arthroplasty and may ...

Total knee arthroplasty is a successful surgical procedure that relieves pain and restores function. However, TKA has not had the same reported patient satisfaction rates as total hip arthroplasty.

A recent study determined that African-Americans were less likely to have a varus thrust, but more likely to have valgus thrust than Caucasians. Varus thrust is visualized during gait as the worsening ...

When performing a knee replacement surgery or total knee arthroplasty, doctors traditionally try to align the hip, knee, and ankle in a straight line, forming a neutral alignment, rather than ...

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis (OA). This procedure aims to relieve pain and restore function by replacing the ...

Mechanics and kinematics of the knee joint following total knee replacement are related to the mechanics and kinematics of the normal knee. Some of the important new variables introduced include the ...

Background Previous studies have suggested that increased valgus knee motion and decreased hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) ratios can be risk factors of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Objective ...
