Unicompartmental4
- Considered initially as a niche solution, the unicompartmental prosthesis is increasingly used by surgeons, when the arthritis damage involves only a part of the knee. (lezeto.com)
- Furthermore, in selected cases in which the damage includes two of the three compartments of the knee, and the ligaments are intact, it is also possible to implant a bi-monocompartmental prosthesis (i.e., two unicompartmental prostheses in the same knee). (lezeto.com)
- One of the advantages of the unicompartmental prosthesis is that, by replacing only one part of the knee, the movement of physiological sliding of the articular surfaces between them is not altered. (lezeto.com)
- If the joint between the shin and thigh is damaged on only one side (inside or outside), the smallest prostheses (called unicompartmental) can be used to replace the damaged part. (hickeysolution.com)
Implant5
- However, if you know for sure that you have an Exactech Optetrak or Truliant implant, review our Exactech knee lawsuit page for more information. (youhavealawyer.com)
- Although most of the surgeons implant a total knee prosthesis, the mono-compartmental knee prosthesis is increasingly taking hold. (lezeto.com)
- If the knee joint does not have good stability, the surgeon can implant a guided prosthesis, that is, with a pen that guides the movement. (hickeysolution.com)
- Fixed-bearing knee implant with a polyethylene articulating surface (plastic tray) sandwiched between the metal tibial implant and metal femoral implant. (hss.edu)

Preoperative3
- a) Preoperative plain radiograph shows bilateral rheumatoid arthritis of the knee categorized as Larsen grade 4. (hindawi.com)
- While the preoperative left knee Oxford score of the patients was 16.9â ±â 2.3, the mean left knee Oxford score improved to 43.4â ±â 2.2 postoperatively. (bvsalud.org)
- While the preoperative mean left knee KSS score of the patients was 46.5â ±â 4.3, the mean KSS score improved to 89.8â ±â 3.2 postoperatively. (bvsalud.org)
Arthritis3
- It may also be performed for other knee diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. (wikipedia.org)
- Because of its major role in supporting the body's weight during ambulation, the knee is susceptible to several pathologies, particularly osteoarthritis due to ageing and overuse or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. (lexmedicus.com.au)
- Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease affecting joints, including the knee. (vannistrigelli.com)
Zimmer Biomet3
- The revision prosthesis (LCCK, Zimmer-Biomet) was implanted uneventfully. (hindawi.com)
- Selon U.S. Food and Drug Administration , ce/cet/cette rappel concerne un dispositif en/au/aux/à United States qui a été fabriqué par Zimmer Biomet, Inc. . (icij.org)
- METHODS: A total of 46 patients (66 knees) who were operated for knee osteoarthritis with Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA, Zimmer-Biomet, Warshaw, Indiana, USA) between 2021 and 2023 were included in the study. (bvsalud.org)

Surgical2
- Unfortunately, there are many different ways to injure the knee and each different condition requires a different type of surgical treatment. (rothmanortho.com)
- Knee prosthesis implantation requires a specialized surgical approach. (vannistrigelli.com)
Complex2
- Based upon its complex anatomy and function, the examination of the knee relies on specific anatomical landmarks used as reference points to detect morphological changes. (lexmedicus.com.au)
- The knee is perhaps the most complex joint in the human body, playing a fundamental role in ensuring mobility and stability during daily activities. (vannistrigelli.com)
Incidence2
- The incidence of knee osteoarthritis in Australia is reflected by the high number of total knee replacements, which were over 55,000 in 2017 alone, a number increasing each year. (lexmedicus.com.au)
- As the proportion of elderly people in the global population rises, the incidence of knee osteoarthritis is increasing. (springer.com)
Joint14
- Pain often is noted when performing physical activities requiring a wide range of motion in the knee joint. (wikipedia.org)
- Hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), which is an angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the center of the ankle joint. (wikipedia.org)
- The knee is the largest joint in the human body. (balgrist.ch)
- If magnetic resonance imaging shows that the entire joint is severely damaged, the surgeon may recommend a tricompartmental knee prosthesis. (hickeysolution.com)
- Several ligaments support the shoulder joint. (christopherowensmd.com)
- What are the Ligaments that Support the Knee Joint? (christopherowensmd.com)
- An arthroscope, a small video camera, is inserted through one incision to see the inside of the knee joint. (christopherowensmd.com)
- Along with the arthroscope, a sterile solution is pumped into the knee to expand it and enable your surgeon to have a clear view of the inside of the joint. (christopherowensmd.com)
- The arthroscope is reinserted into the knee joint through one of the small incisions. (christopherowensmd.com)
