Abstract:
We investigated a new revision total knee arthroplasty device and associated instrumentation to determine if it could reduce intraoperative complexity and restore the joint line through the arc of motion. In a prospective multicenter study, a total of 95 consecutive patients undergoing a revision knee arthroplasty were evaluated. Medical history, functional health scores, and intraoperative data were collected. The joint line was restored to 28 mm ± 5 mm in full extension and 90-degree flexion. Significant improvements were noted in all functional and general health scores. The anatomic boss position may allow for a reduction in instrumentation, as the need for femoral offset adapters was limited. Joint line restoration with proper posterior condylar offset correlated with positive functional outcomes.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
