Introduction: This retrospective comparative study was to define the validity and reliability of a translated, culturally adapted Chinese version questionnaire of the New Knee Society Knee Scoring System (NKSS). This study is aim to investigate the validity and reliability of the translated Chinese version of the NKSS and assess its feasibility of measuring the scale on Chinese patients by performing its cross-cultural adaptation for patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in Hong Kong. Methods: A total of 104 knees from 64 Chinese patients performed TKA were included in the study

Resumen

As the number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures increases annually, the patient demographic is shifting to include younger patients with higher expectations for post-operative function. The aim of this study was to compare movement patterns during activities of daily living among TKA patients and a healthy, age-matched group using 3D motion analysis. Specifically, this analysis looked at walking on level and inclined surfaces, as well as sitting up and down from a chair. It was predicted that (1) TKA patients would exhibit reduced knee extension moments at the operated limb and incre

Introduction: Studies show that Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is successful for the majority of patients however some continue to experience some functional limitations and anecdotal evidence indicates that stiffness is a common complaint. Some studies have suggested an association between stiffness and functional limitations however there has been no previous work which has attempted to objectively quantify knee joint stiffness following TKA. The purpose of this study was to pilot and evaluate a method for the quantitative evaluation in joint stiffness in replaced knees, OA knees and healthy

Resumen

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) - the replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee joint - is an increasingly used intervention for osteoarthritis. Younger, more active patients are undergoing TKA due to the clinical success of the implants. Surgeons must make recommendations on the suitability of post-surgery sporting activities; a balance must be struck between the health-promoting nature of the activity and the risk involved to the implant. Golf has been identified as a sport with a large number of participants that is recommended by the majority of knee surgeons. Despite golf being c

Resumen

Total knee replacement (TKR) continues to increase in popularity, but satisfying patients who remain active for longer is a major challenge. Outcomes from TKR remain suboptimal, with as many as 20% gaining little benefit. An alternative approach to TKR is the use of partial or unicompartmental knee replacements (UKR). These are smaller and safer operations, but are arguably more difficult to perform and have been associated with a higher rate of revision surgery. Whilst a great deal is understood about medial UKR, relatively little is known about lateral UKR and this procedure forms the basis

Resumen

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common complex disorder. Although previously believed to be degenerative, KOA is in fact a regenerative condition, compensating against insults sustained at the joint. However, a failure of this compensatory repair process, especially in the presence of constitutional and local joint factors, increases the risk of KOA and inevitably leads to joint-failure (Dieppe and Lohmander, 2005, Arden and Nevitt, 2006, Sandell, 2012). Diagnosis of KOA may be made via clinical presentation, imaging, or using clinical algorithms, which may be a combination both i

It sustains very high forces and is susceptible to injury and disease. Osteoarthritis is a common disease prevalent among the elderly and causes softening or degradation of the cartilage and subcondral bone in the joint, which leads to a loss of function and pain. This problem can be alleviated through a surgical intervention commonly termed a “knee replacement”. The aim of a knee replacement procedure is to relieve pain and restore normal f

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful surgery for the clinical management of OA. The procedure has been demonstrated to alleviate pain due to degeneration of articulating surface of the joint, restore function and mobility and increase the quality of life for recipients. Well-balanced post-operative knee joints are often based on subjective ‘feel’ of experienced surgeons rather than quantifiable references. Most alignment strategies are still referencing the bone despite the complexity in anatomical variations and presence of deformity. This dissertation aims to investigate the contrib

The growing prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is fuelled by the rising obesity epidemic and an ageing population. The lack of a KOA cure drives the need to identify prevention strategies with alternative treatments to surgery a priority. This requires careful investigation of risk factors and their interaction. Knee mal-alignment and excess body mass are KOA risk factors but their combined effect is less understood.

Introduction: Patellofemoral dysfunction following total knee replacement (TKR) is significant. Due to the intimate relationship of the femoral component and patella, aspects of knee arthroplasty such as femoral component malrotation and patellofemoral overstuff have been sited as predisposing factors to such complications. The principal structures of the extensor retinaculum act as a checkrein for the patella as it tracks over the femur. Little biomechanical information is available on the behaviour of these structures, or the effects of TKR on them. Aim: The aim of this thesis was to measure

The aim of this thesis was to investigate how to construct a system to measure load in a mobile unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) bearing. In vivo loads have been measured in a total knee replacement (TKR), but with TKR the kinematics are different from those of the normal knee, whereas they are close to normal in a mobile UKR, so the loads measured by an instrumented UKR would be more representative of the normal knee. On the principle of measuring compression of an object under load, the load may be estimated. Compression measurement using a capacitive sensor was the optimal solution t

Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is the principal alternative to total knee replacement (TKR) in the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. It involves less tissue resection, resulting in lower rates of morbidity and faster recoveries compared to TKR. However, UKR has a significantly higher revision rate compared to TKR. As a result, whilst over a third of patients are eligible for UKR, only around 8% receive it.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the world, and it has been estimated that about one tenth of the world's population, aged over 60, have symptoms that can be attributed to OA. Despite the size of the global impact of OA, there is a significant unmet need for effective treatments. Knee replacement surgery is commonly used in patients with moderate to severe knee OA, in order to reduce pain. However, 10-34% of patients report an unfavourable long-term outcome with persistent pain after surgery. The neural mechanisms for the generation of pain in knee OA are not fully u

There is increasing use of Unicondylar or Unicompartmental Knee Replacements (UKR), especially following publication of good survival data and a trend towards ‘minimally invasive surgery’. The UKR preserves one of the femoral condyles and its meniscus, plus both of the cruciate ligaments. Therefore, the knee functions more normally following UKR than after Total Knee Replacement (TKR). However, the odds for failure of the UKR are higher than the TKR, and a principal reason is loosening of the tibial and femoral components. There is a need for the development of more reliable UKR fixation desig
