Component loosening and instability are common causes of dysfunction after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and it is generally assumed that such complications are due to tibio-femoral misalignment or ligamentous imbalance. During the surgery, the ligamentous ...
Correct positioning of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) must take into account both an optimal bone coverage (defined by a maximal cortical bearing with posteromedial and anterolateral support) and satisfactory patellofemoral tracking. ...
Ligament balancing in total knee arthroplasty is believed to have an important influence on the joint stability and prosthesis lifetime. In order to provide quantitative information and assistance during the ligament balancing phase, a device that intraope ...
A force-sensing device to intraoperatively measure knee joint forces and moments to improve the ligament balancing procedure during total knee arthroplasty has been developed. It consists of two sensitive plates, one for each condyle, a tibial base plate a ...
