Anomalie de torsion du squelette
La torsion du squelette se définit comme une déformation de l’os autour de son axe longitudinal ;ceci est à opposer à la rotation qui représente le mouvement possible de cet os autour de cet axe.On parlera d’anomalies de torsion lorsque les valeurs mesurées...
Equivalent results of medial and lateral parapatellar approach for total knee arthroplasty in mild valgus deformities
Abstract Purpose: When performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in valgus knee deformities, a medial or lateral parapatellar approach can be performed, but the lateral approach is often considered technically more difficult. The purpose of this study was to...
Metallosis-associated prosthetic joint infection
Total joint replacement is the standard treatment of advanced osteoarthritis. Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip resurfacing and hip arthroplasty are associated with long durability and low rates of dislocations and used to be the standard surgical treatments. Complications...
Results and complications of single-stage total knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy
Abstract Purpose: Long-term survival in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) depends on multiple factors, including restoration of mechanical alignment and obtaining optimal ligament balance. The aim of this study was to document the results of single-stage TKA...
Factors influencing posterior tibial slope and tibial rotation in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy
Abstract Purpose: Opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an accepted treatment option for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis with associated varus lower limb axis in younger, more active patients. A concern with the use of this technique is that...
Total knee arthroplasty of the stiff knee: three hundred and four cases
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in stiff knees (flexion ≤90° and/or flexion contracture ≥20°). Our hypothesis was that despite having poorer results than those obtained in a "standard"...
