This study presents a semi-automatic framework to create subject-specific total knee replacement finite element models, which can be used to analyze locomotion patterns and evaluate knee dynamics. In recent years, much scientific attention was ...

The use of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in treatment of chronic degenerative pathologies of the knee boasts of an experience of 50 years. During this period the collaboration between surgeons and engineers produced many developments in the design ...

This study presents a semi-automatic framework to create subject-specific total knee replacement finite element models, which can be used to analyze locomotion patterns and evaluate knee dynamics.

Results: Logistic regression modelling suggests the IR of TKA is expected to increase 69% by 2050 compared to 2012, from 429 (95%CI 374-453) procedures/100,000 in 2012 to 725 (95%PI 121-1041) in 2050. This translates into a 143% projected increase in TKA volume.

We conducted a systematic review to assess the scope and quality of all current TKA cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) studies, identify trends, and identify areas for improvement. An electronic database search of MEDLINE, Embase, the CEA registry and Scopus was used to identify all CEA studies where TKA was used with a comparator.

2023年10月6日 · Therefore, this project investigated the sensitivity of model-based predictions of post-TKA tibiofemoral (TF) kinematics to residual errors in US-based collateral ligament strain estimations. In addition, the resulting sensitivity in terms of tibiofemoral kinematics was compared to the effect of the current clinical variability in terms of ...

2017年11月1日 · The purpose of our study was to estimate the future incidence rate (IR) and volume of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the United States from 2015 to 2050 using a conservative projection model that assumes a maximum IR of procedures.

2020年10月28日 · Can a novel, versatile mathematical model of the knee joint shed light on the effects of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) design and surgical conditions on TKA outcomes? A team from the University of Tennessee put a promising 12-point mathematical modeling to the test.

2025年2月2日 · In this study, a multi-body simulation model able to predict TKA mechanics using sparse input data was validated using in vivo force measurements. The model’s prediction accuracy varied between the different GCCs, with accurate predictions for GCC3 and GCC5 and larger deviations for GCC2 and GCC6.

Preoperative planning is essential to total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, TKA templating is historically inaccurate. To improve on templating accuracy and streamline preoperative planning, we set out to predict component sizes based on patient characteristics without radiographs.
