    The New Zealand Medical Journal
    |July 23, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Geometric total knee replacement offers significant functional improvement and pain relief for advanced arthritis patients. Early results are encouraging, though a rare complication of component fracture was noted.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Review of two years' experience with geometric total knee replacement.
    • Analysis of 23 arthroplasties in 22 patients.

    Observation:

    • Consistent and dramatic pain relief observed.
    • Postoperative movement increase in only three patients.
    • Overall functional improvement in 20 of 22 patients.

    Findings:

    • One case of medial tibial condyle collapse and polyethylene tibial component fracture, a previously unreported complication.
    • Encouraging early results for the geometric total knee replacement procedure.

    Implications:

    • Geometric total knee replacement is a viable option for advanced arthritis, especially when arthrodesis is the alternative.
