Spanning both the history and future of knee replacement, this
unique book recounts how artificial knees have reached the stage
they are today, and whether their performance can be further
improved. The author, who has been designing artificial knees for
50 years, starts the story in the late 1960's with the early
pioneers; during the 1970's, the principles for successful
artificial knees were established. While many different types were
designed, a small number have become by far the most widely
utilized. Yet other types of designs, so far little used, along
with new materials and the application of computer-assisted
surgery, could result in significant advancements in the treatment
of knee arthritis. Each chapter provides a detailed description of
the origins of the ideas and principles and their rationale,
followed by the latest information and evidence. The book begins
with an overview of the history and background of the artificial
knee, in terms of design and implementation and the thought leaders
involved. Fixation, biomechanics, and the types of designs are
discussed in detail, both what has worked and what has not, and
why. Instrumentation, testing and tribology, and functional
evaluation methods are also covered. The book concludes with a look
toward the future possibilities for the field of artificial knees.
An illustrated glossary of terms, is included for quick reference.
The Artificial Knee: An Ongoing Evolution will appeal to orthopedic
surgeons and researchers, medical academics and orthopedic
companies, and to those with a general interest in artificial
knees.
