This book offers a comprehensive guide to total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) that will assist in achieving excellent outcomes based on a
sound understanding and technique. After an introductory section on
the native knee that covers the anatomy, physiology, biomechanics,
and patterns of disease, all aspects of primary knee arthroplasty
are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to topics
such as acute pain management, the role of technological aids,
prosthetic kinematics, alignment targets, unicompartmental
arthroplasty, patellar resurfacing, outcome measures, and
cost-effectiveness. An extensive section explains the causes and
management of potential complications, including aseptic failure,
infections, and periprosthetic fracture. The surgical techniques
appropriate for revision knee arthroplasty are described
separately, and guidelines on how to deal with bone loss,
instability, and extensor mechanism failure are provided. The
authors are all respected experts from the United Kingdom, United
States, Australia and Europe.
Degenerative conditions of the knee place an increasing burden on
health economies and lead to pain and functional loss for
sufferers. Although arthroplasty may not offer a level of
functional restoration that meets all patients' expectations, joint
preservation through osteotomy is a viable option in younger, more
physically active patients. This volume is a comprehensive
technical guide to performing knee-preserving surgery to treat
degenerative conditions and malalignment-associated knee
instability. Drawing on their extensive experience of these
procedures, the authors provide valuable insights into identifying
patients who may benefit, as well as planning and performing the
procedures with a high degree of precision, and explaining the
results that can be achieved. This book both initiates novices and
provides technical tips for experienced surgeons, and as such is an
indispensible resource for all clinicians who treat patients with
knee conditions.
