Slight undercorrection following total knee arthroplasty results in superior clinical outcomes in varus knees KU Leuven
Purpose: Restoration of correct alignment is one of the main objectives of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the influence of residual malalignment on clinical and functional outcomes is currently uncertain. This study was therefore undertaken to ascertain its influence in patients undergoing TKA for varus osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods: A cohort of 132 consecutive patients (143 knees) with pre-operative varus alignment was evaluated ...
Total knee arthroplasty after failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty Universiteit Gent
The importance of joint line obliquity: a radiological analysis of restricted boundaries in normal knee phenotypes to inform surgical decision making in kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty Universiteit Hasselt
Purpose Restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore native soft tissue laxities while limiting alignment extremes that risk prosthetic failure. However, there is no consensus where restricted boundaries (RB) should be set. This study aims to determine the proportion of limbs in which constitutional alignment and joint line obliquity (JLO) would be restored with various RB scenarios, to inform decision ...
Knee kinematics during staircase descent : native, after bi-cruciate retaining and bi-cruciate stabilized total knee arthroplasty Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Total knee arthroplasty in patients with substantial deformities using primary knee components Universiteit Gent
The initial learning curve for the ROSA® Knee System can be achieved in 6-11 cases for operative time and has similar 90-day complication rates with improved implant alignment compared to manual instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty Universiteit Hasselt
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the learning curve for total operative time using a novel cutting guide positioning robotic assistant for total knee arthroplasty (raTKA). Additionally, we compared complications and final limb alignment between raTKA and manual TKA (mTKA), as well as accuracy to plan for raTKA cases. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study on a series of patients (n = 180) that underwent raTKA (n = ...
Effects of total knee arthroplasty on ankle alignment in patients with varus gonarthrosis : do we sacrifice ankle to the knee? Universiteit Gent
Identification of Metabolic Factors and Inflammatory Markers Predictive of Outcome after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
OBJECTIVE: To identify metabolic factors and inflammatory markers that are predictive of postoperative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcome.
METHOD: A systematic search of the existing literature was performed using the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science and Embase until the 1st of August 2022. Studies that evaluated the influence of metabolic or inflammatory markers (I) on postsurgical outcome (O) in end-stage knee ...
Evaluation of predicted knee function for component malrotation in total knee arthroplasty KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Soft-tissue balancing for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains subjective and highly dependent on surgical expertise. Pre-operative planning may support the clinician in taking decisions by integrating subject-specific computer models that predict functional outcome. However, validation of these models is essential before they can be applied in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate a knee modelling workflow by comparing ...
