Abstract:
Blade design can have a large effect on the surgical wear debris produced during TKA, and has quantified the weight of debris lost from the blades and cutting blocks. In the effort to address this metal debris generation, an oscillating-tip blade such as the Precision blade can significantly reduce the amount of debris produced.
