This is the first curated AI literature review on primary and revision total knee arthroplasty technique and technology. Selected and introduced by experts in knee surgery, it provides a sound summary of the current knowledge base on implant design, kinematics, imaging, surgical approaches and procedures, and outcomes. The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the editors of this book. The editors, who provide introductions to each chapter, selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are extractive auto-summaries, which consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Also note that only published SN content is represented here, and that machine-generated books are still at an experimental stage.
The knee joint is one of the largest and most powerful joints of the human body since it supports enormous loads and pressures while offering stable and flexible movements. For this reason, the lower limb is vulnerable to the appearance of degenerative diseases, such as femoro-tibial osteoarthritis (OA) that dramatically reduces the quality of life in a patient. Knee osteoarthritis represents an enormous public health problem for patients and imposes a significant economic burden. Knee OA leads to annual healthcare expenses of more than $ 27 billion with gross knee arthroplasty budgets reaching $ 11 billion annually. Developing new prognostic technology and methodology could contribute to the detection of this disease and reduce human and economic losses. The objective of this research topic is to collect recent studies on the development of new techniques for the prognosis, prediction, diagnosis, and modeling of human knee diseases, in particular osteoarthritis. The change of biomechanics induced by a knee arthroplasty and its effect on knee performance is also part of the research project proposal.
Essentials in Total Knee Arthroplasty is a succinct, yet comprehensive book that provides a unique look into the world of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), beginning with an in-depth history of this common procedure, and then progressing to strategies that will manage, treat, and prevent complications. Inside the pages of Essentials in Total Knee Arthroplasty, Dr. Javad Parvizi and Dr. Brian Klatt, along with more than 40 contributors, cover a wide-range of topics, including: Knee biomechanics and biomaterials Surgical approaches to TKA Postoperative Analgesia Options for the Total Knee Arthroplasty Patient Controversies in TKA Mechanisms of failure in TKA Complex primary total TKA TKA revision TKA rehabilitation With over 100 color images, clear & descriptive text, and a forward thinking approach to clinical and basic research in the reconstruction of the knee, Essentials in Total Knee Arthroplasty will become the "go-to" book for orthopedic residents, fellows, junior attendings, medical students, and physical therapists involved with all matters related to total knee arthroplasty.
"Take away my knee pain and give me better motion". This is what the arthritic patient expects from a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). By virtue of standardization of the TKA procedure, surgeons can nowadays solve the pain issue for the majority of the patients. Restoration of function is a goal of a different order and forms the scope of this book. The editors confronted today's leading knee surgeons with the limitations of current surgical techniques and technology. They challenged them to define new thresholds of functional capacity after Total Knee Arthroplasty. "A Guide to Get Better Performance in TKA" describes the cutting edge in surgical techniques, prosthetic design and achievement of excellent function for these patients.
In this rapidly changing health care environment, a challenge today’s physical therapist faces is finding, evaluating, and implementing current best evidence into practicce, an integral part of health care professional educational programs. With that goal in mind, Physical Therapy Management of Patients With Spinal Pain: An Evidence-Based Approach provides a comprehensive research-based overview of the examination and physical therapy interventions of the spine. Inside Physical Therapy Management of Patients With Spinal Pain, Drs. Deborah M. Stetts and J. Gray Carpenter evaluate the current evidence related to spinal pain and present it in a format that allows for an easy transition to the...
This book describes in full detail the surgical principles and technology of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), providing evidence-based data on the biomechanics of the knee joint and biomaterials in arthroplasty. Starting the chapters with the history and anatomy, the book expands its focus on important issues such as implant designs of articular geometry and ligament substitution. It describes the thorough procedures of surgery from planning, operation, discussion on how to improve the range of motion, postoperative rehabilitation and also patient satisfaction. In chapters describing the surgical procedures, and approaches, step-by-step surgical techniques are shown to manage various severe de...
This comprehensive reference on total knee arthroplasty describes all surgical techniques and prosthetic designs for primary and revision arthroplasty, discusses every aspect of patient selection, preoperative planning, and intraoperative and postoperative care.
