Book excerpt: The modern field of total knee arthroplasty began over 50 years ago in the 1970s when the FDA approved cement for implant fixation, and durable plastic that replaced the meniscus became available. Simultaneously, alignment evolved into two opposing and contentious philosophies, the anatomic approach (forefather of kinematic alignment, ) and the 'cookie-cutter' or mechanical alignment. In 2006, the concept of personalized surgery initiated a paradigm shift away from the philosophy of mechanical alignment to calipered kinematic alignment total knee replacement. Dr. Howell, a professor of biomedical engineering and a sports medicine surgeon, developed the kinematic alignment technique. To perform the surgery, he created the first commercially made patient-specific guides designed to assist the surgeon in setting the components coincident to the patient's pre-arthritic joint lines, which is the kinematic alignment target.In 2007, early adopters' clinical experience, particularly Dr. Meade, persuaded over 300 surgeons to perform more than 20,000 kinematically aligned total knee replacements by 2011. Between 2011 and 2020, many worldwide studies reported that kinematic alignment improves patient satisfaction, function, ease of recovery, soft tissue balance, flexion, and joint-line and limb alignment compared with mechanical alignment. It is a winning approach.This primer uses the familiar concept of the Ten Commandments and selects ten topics for the surgeon to follow. The success of kinematic alignment requires caliper measurements of bone resections and intraoperative recording of verification steps. These recommendations reduce the risk of complications, a topic of great interest to the patient! Patients that research options in total knee replacement surgery will come across the kinematic and mechanical alignment philosophies. The mechanical alignment technique is a 'cookie-cutter' approach that places the components the same way in everybody regardless of their legs' shape. Because the method changes the patient's joint lines, the healthy ligaments are released, making the replaced knee feel unnatural. Kinematic alignment restores the patient's knee alignment before arthritis developed and preserves healthy ligaments, promoting patient satisfaction and high function.We hope this primer is useful for those investigating knee replacement surgery. Those who chose kinematic alignment, ask your surgeon whether they use the caliper and intraoperative verifications to position your new knee optimally!
Book Synopsis Calipered Kinematically aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty by : Stephen M. Howell
Download or read book Calipered Kinematically aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty written by Stephen M. Howell and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calipered kinematic alignment was proposed by Dr. Stephen M. Howell to enable the accurate and individualized placement of total knee components coincident within ± 0.5 mm of the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment. The aim was to restore the patient's native joint kinematics and thereby address the well documented 20% dissatisfaction when total knee replacement is performed using traditional, or mechanical alignment techniques. With Dr. Stefano A. Bini and Dr. G. Daxton Steele as co-editors, Dr. Howell has curated an international team of expert surgeons and engineers to discuss various aspects of the calipered knee alignment technique in short, concise, and well-illustrated chapters. Each author provides clear, practical guidance for adopting and implementing calipered kinematic alignment covering manual, patient-specific, navigated, and robotic techniques. Chapters on component design tailored explicitly for kinematic alignment and showing the close relationship between knee biomechanics and the kinematically aligned TKA help the surgeon manage complex challenges associated with deformity and post-operative complications. Following the introduction of the calipered kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty, many international studies have shown consistently better patient satisfaction than the traditional mechanical alignment technique. Better function and high long-term implant survival have catalyzed a paradigm shift in total knee replacement philosophy that is being embraced by orthopedic surgeons and innovative implant companies around the world with excellent results. Calipered Kinematically Aligned Knee Arthroplasty is the definitive textbook on the subject and features: Thorough explanations of how the calipered kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty accurately sets total knee components coincident with the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment and coaligned with the three rotational axes of the native knee. A personalized approach to total knee surgery designed to reconstitute the patient’s native biomechanics in contrast with mechanical alignment that place all patients in the same standard alignment regardless of their constitutional anatomy. Detailed and well-illustrated descriptions of manual, navigated, robotic and patient-specific guide techniques that confirm kinematic alignment with a caliper. Clinical photos, radiographs, and line art throughout the book as well as helpful online technique videos. Key focus topics such as managing complex deformities, the expected post-operative recovery, and future trends in kinematic alignment. The shared experience and knowledge of international pioneers in the field. An emphasis on a personalized surgical philosophy which enables same-day discharge, reduces pain and opioid use, and promotes quicker recovery, better function, and a more natural feeling knee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilkes-Barre PA is a dying city. It is time to pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and begin our return to glory. In the middle of the last century, Wilkes-Barre’s population was approaching 90,000. Today it is 43,000. This did not happen overnight. Over the years, many of the city’s kind benefactors, such as the Kirby family, helped keep the city vibrant. Whenever it needed a boost, they were there to rejuvenate. Having had half the population move out of town, Wilkes-Barre no longer could count on a local family to be there at the right time with the right answer. Wilkes-Barre saw its population declining with the mines no longer sustaining the City. We noticed stores, even the best of the best shutting down or moving out from necessity. We all noticed that other businesses that once provided hundreds of jobs not being able to continue. Mark Twain once said that “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Wilkes-Barre officials and residents over the years have heard the death knell for the City and instead of contesting it fiercely, allowed it to happen. Like Twain, our demise has been greatly exaggerated. Those times are in the past. Wilkes-Barre can and must find its way out of the mire and return to glory. May good leadership help Wilkes-Barre find a way to reclaim its future. Those who grew up in this City, as well as those who love our Diamond City, will enjoy this book. Few books are a must-read but Brian Kelly’s Wilkes-Barre, PA: Return to Glory! will melt your heart as your author recounts some great stories from the past and points out how to stop the decline and move this city back to Glory. This book needs to be at the top of your reading list, especially for those who have lived or now live in Wilkes-Barre.

Download or read book The Greatest Man In Our Time written by Brian W. Kelly and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern pundits give Donald Trump little credit for anything even though he is clearly The Greatest Man in Our Time. I would say it is because the bulk of the news media simply do not like him as he does not want to have anything to do with a Marxist agenda. Before Trump set the world on fire from 2017 to 2020, the five highest rated presidents, according to a C-SPAN survey, for example were Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower. I do not contest the fact that they showed greatness in office but when you look at all of Trump’s accomplishments and the complexity of our times, the 45th president deserves much more consideration. That’s why I wrote this book. You may never choose to invite Donald John Trump over the house for breakfast or even a holiday gathering, but looking back at his four years in office, whether you like him or not, most Americans admit those were some of the most prosperous and warless years we have had in our lifetimes. We have the chance again to have the Greatest Man in Our Time as President in a few more years. Let’s do our best to assure it. . After you read this book, I hope you feel as comfortable as I do to place Donald J. Trump on the top of this venerable stack of great presidents. With all of the flack Trump received as president, there are clearly a number of Americans who would not cast their vote for Best President his way under any circumstance. But there are a lot who would. I am glad you are reading this book as it will help you know what a great man and a great president we can have again as our leader.
Book Synopsis The Great Story of Georgia Bulldogs Football Ii by : Brian Kelly
Download or read book The Great Story of Georgia Bulldogs Football Ii written by Brian Kelly and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for those of us who love Georgia Bulldogs Football and who cannot wait until our next win. There is no need to be impatient because as of 2022, Georgia is now at the top of the pack and the Bulldogs win big games all the time. Ask the others! In 2022, of course we all know, Georgia became the College Football Champions. The founding of the University was in 1785 and before Georgia eventually played its first football game, the first book was read at UGA right after Abraham Baldwin of the University of Georgia drafted legislation that became the charter of the university. Georgia student life moved quickly as the first student organization was founded as the Demosthenian Literary Society was founded. The first commencement was held with Josiah Miggs, President presiding in 1804. For its first 50 years the school was known as Franklin College. Soon after being established, Charles Herty got football going on campus in the fall of 1886 and UGA played its first intercollegiate football game. It took a while but in 1929, the school built its first stadium Sanford Stadium. The rest of the college football is not necessarily thrilled that Georgia became so good, so fast, and now they are recognized as the best team in the nation. Georgia won its first National Championship in 1942. In 1980, Georgia repeated its national championship with freshman Herschel Walker leading the way. The Bulldogs remained a national powerhouse with a lot of close calls to greatness until 2022 when it again won another National Championship with a coach who was a great Georgia graduate. Go Bulldogs! This book captures the whole great story of Georgia football. It takes the reader through stories about Georgia’s great immortal coaches and great players over the years. You will not be able to put this book down.

Book Synopsis How Well Does Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty Prevent Clinically Important Changes in Passive Knee Function? by : Joshua Daniel Roth
Download or read book How Well Does Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty Prevent Clinically Important Changes in Passive Knee Function? written by Joshua Daniel Roth and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the current standard of care for patients with severe osteoarthritis in their knee. In TKA, the damaged articular surfaces of the femur and tibia are replaced with orthopedic implants (i.e. the femoral and tibial components respectively). However, 20-25% of these patients report dissatisfaction after TKA using the traditional method of TKA, mechanically aligned TKA. By 2030, the prevalence of dissatisfaction could be 700,000 patients/year based on projected estimate of 3.5 million TKAs/year in the United States alone.The primary determinant of the clinical outcome of TKA is the alignment of the femoral and tibial components relative to their respective bones. The mechanically aligned TKA references anatomic landmarks that are unrelated to the function of the knee. A relatively new method for aligning the components, kinematically aligned TKA (KA TKA), references the articular surfaces with the goal of restoring the alignments of the limb, knee, and joint lines, and hence native knee function.Although patients report higher satisfaction and function at 6 months to 6 years after KA TKA, two unavoidable changes may prevent KA TKA from restoring passive knee function. The first is the replacement of the articular surfaces with implants of discrete sizes and average shapes. The second is resection of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Accordingly, the overreaching aim of this research was to provide objective evidence using controlled in vitro experiments to evaluate passive joint function before and after KA TKA. Four metrics were determined to evaluate passive joint function: (1) the laxities (relative displacement of the tibia to the femur in a degree of freedom under an applied load), (2) the neutral positions (relative position/orientation of the tibia to the femur in a degree of freedom with no loads applied), (3) the contact force balance (difference between the contact forces in the medial and lateral compartments), and (4) contact kinematics (i.e. motion of the contact locations of the femoral component on the tibial component during flexion). Aim 1: Laxities and Neutral PositionsTo determine whether either or both of these unavoidable changes prevent KA TKA from restoring to native the laxities and neutral positions, the primary objectives were to determine how well KA TKA prevents clinically important (1) changes in the laxities and (2) shifts in the neutral positions in varus-valgus rotation, internal-external rotation, anterior-posterior translation, and compression-distraction relative to those of the native knee. The eight laxities and four neutral positions were measured from 0° to 120° of flexion in 30° increments in 13 native human cadaveric knees before and after KA TKA using a six degree-of-freedom load application system. The prevalence of clinically important changes in the 65 measured values (13 knees x 5 flexion angles) of each laxity after KA TKA was relatively low for all eight laxities. The highest prevalence occurred in external rotation laxity (21% exceeded 3.6°) and the lowest occurred in compression laxity (0% exceeded 1 mm). The prevalence of clinically important shifts in the 65 measured values of each neutral position after KA TKA was relatively low for internal-external rotation (20% exceeded 5°) and varus-valgus rotation (5% exceeded 1.5°), but was relatively high for the anterior-posterior (69% exceeded 1.1 mm) and compression-distraction (38% exceeded 1 mm). Aim 2: Laxities and Neutral Positions Imbalanced contact forces (> 67 N) and abnormal contact kinematics (i.e. anterior translation of the contact locations) of the femur on the tibia during passive flexion are associated with reduced satisfaction and limited flexion respectively after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although high satisfaction and function have been reported after kinematically aligned TKA (KA TKA) at 6 months to 6 years, no study has determined how well KA TKA prevents clinically important imbalances and abnormal contact kinematics during passive flexion. Accordingly, the objectives were to determine in vitro how well KA TKA prevents (1) imbalances between the contact forces in the medial and lateral compartments greater than 67 N, and (2) anterior translation of the contact locations in the medial and lateral compartments over an arc of flexion from 0° to 120°. The contact forces and contact locations were determined in both the medial and lateral compartments from 0° to 120° of flexion in 30°increments in six human cadaveric knees following KA TKA using a tibial contact force sensor implanted in place of the standard cruciate-retaining tibial component. The average contact forces remained balanced within 18 N, and the prevalence of clinically important imbalances in the 30 measured values (6 knees x 5 flexion angles) was 7%. The contact locations in both compartments translated posteriorly in all six KA TKA (i.e. prevalence of anterior translation = 0%) by an average of 16 mm and 18 mm in the medial and lateral compartments respectively from 0° to 120° of flexion. Conclusions KA TKA prevented clinically important changes/shifts in >̲ 79% of the measured values in ten of the twelve laxities/neutral positions, prevented clinically important contact force imbalances in 93% of the measured values, and prevented abnormal contact kinematics 100% of the knees despite the two unavoidable changes. These findings also help to explain the previously published clinical results that show KA TKA has a low risk of failure at 6 years and leads to high patient satisfaction and function at 6 months to 6 years which adds to the ever-growing compilation of evidence that justifies KA TKA as an acceptable alternative to the traditional alignment goals for TKA.
Book Synopsis Essentials in Total Knee Arthroplasty by : Zain Ritchie
Download or read book Essentials in Total Knee Arthroplasty written by Zain Ritchie and published by Foster Academics. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement surgery is a procedure that is performed in a severely damaged knee joint to restore function and relieve pain. It involves replacing the damaged bone and cartilage from the kneecap, shinbone and thighbone with an artificial joint. The assessment of whether knee arthroplasty is required for a particular condition is determined by assessing the range of motion, strength and stability of the knee. X-ray imaging can offer visual insights to determine the extent of damage. The most common condition that causes knee pain and disability is osteoarthritis. The rate of complication post-surgery is generally low. Most people who have undergone total knee arthroplasty experience a good quality of life, substantial reduction in pain and better mobility. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on total knee arthroplasty have been included in this book. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied techniques and procedures of total knee arthroplasty. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying orthopedic surgery as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.

Book Synopsis Total Knee Arthroplasty: Modern Techniques in Orthopedic Surgery by : Jasper Max
Download or read book Total Knee Arthroplasty: Modern Techniques in Orthopedic Surgery written by Jasper Max and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knee arthroplasty or knee replacement surgery is a procedure which is aimed at the replacement of the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with an artificial prosthesis to relieve pain and disability. It is performed when the knee joint is affected by osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Knee arthroplasty can be total or partial. Total knee arthroplasty is intended to correct bone and knee joint trauma, or correct varus deformity or mild valgus. Obesity is often seen to present complications in total knee arthroscopy, and therefore bariatric surgery is recommended in morbidly obese patients. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around the techniques of total knee arthroplasty. It strives to provide a fair idea about this operative procedure and to help develop a better understanding of the complications involved in this surgery, and their management strategies. For all readers who are interested in orthopedics and orthopedic surgery, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
