Total joint arthroplasty. The knee.

L F Peterson, R H Fitzgerald, E W Johnson

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |September 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Total knee replacement effectively treats gonarthrosis, but prosthetic fixation, especially in the tibia, can fail. Resurfacing offers better options for revision surgery, emphasizing realistic surgical goals.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering

    Background:

    • Total knee replacement (TKR) is a standard treatment for gonarthrosis, typically restoring pain relief, motion, and stability.
    • Achieving optimal outcomes requires addressing limitations in anatomical stability with prosthetic solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the stability and revision potential of total knee replacement prosthetics.
    • To highlight factors influencing prosthetic fixation and long-term success.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established total knee replacement techniques and outcomes.
    • Analysis of prosthetic fixation challenges, particularly in the tibia.
    • Evaluation of resurfacing techniques for revision surgery.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • TKR generally provides excellent pain relief and functional recovery.
    • Prosthetic fixation, especially tibial fixation, is a critical factor and can be compromised by poor bone quality or increased shear stress.
    • Resurfacing techniques offer superior options for managing surgical revisions.

    Conclusions:

    • While TKR is effective, prosthetic fixation remains a challenge, particularly in compromised bone or with malalignment.
    • Realistic surgical goals and consideration of future revision options, such as resurfacing, are crucial for long-term patient management.
