The accuracy of implantation is an accepted prognostic factor for the long-term survival of unicompartmental knee prostheses (UKP). We developed a non-image-guided navigation system for UKP… (More)
We studied a consecutive series of 40 patients presenting a septic knee arthritis, with a mean age of 49 ± 20 (range 19–81) years. The aetiologies were: 18 postoperative arthritis, 12 haematogenous… (More)
Dear Editors, I would like to comment on the paper by Lingaraj and Bartlett, ‘‘The femoral sulcus in total knee arthroplasty’’[1]. As far as I understood, the location of the femoral sulcus was… (More)

BACKGROUND
Self-administered quality-of-life questionnaires are now crucial to the evaluation of orthopaedic surgical patient-reported outcomes, as they reflect patient satisfaction. The Oxford Knee… (More)
The tested hypothesis was following: the High Activity Arthroplasty Score has a significant lower ceiling effect than American Knee Society Score and Oxford Knee Score after total knee arthroplasty.… (More)
The present study was designed to evaluate the mid-term (5- to 8-year) survival rate of a new total knee replacement (TKR) with a single-radius femoral component and a multidirectional, highly… (More)
The use of a keel in the tibial component during modern primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become common, and its cementation may affect the future performance of the prosthesis. Although… (More)
Monitoring internal crude oil exposure can assist the understanding of associated risks and impacts, as well as the effectiveness of restoration efforts. Under the auspices of a long-term monitoring… (More)
We hypothesized that a routine one-stage exchange for treatment of chronically infected total hip replacement (THR) will lead to (1) a higher rate of infection recurrence and (2) a poorer hip outcome… (More)
The following hypothesis was tested: the location of the tibial and femoral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) attachments will differ according to the measurement technique (plain radiographs or… (More)
