Ideal post‐TKA radiographs comprise whole lower extremity anteroposterior and lateral views taken under weight bearing conditions along with a skyline view of the patellofemoral joint. Among other things, weight bearing exposes the true alignment, …

2024年12月7日 · Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total knee replacement (TKR), or tricompartmental knee replacement is an orthopedic procedure whereby the three articular surfaces of the knee (femoral, tibial, and patellar) are replaced by prosthetic components.

While JOURNEY II TKA has been shown to restore anatomical shape, position and motion, 1-4 the JOURNEY II XR system goes a step further by allowing the ACL to be retained. An anatomical design is intended to help a smoother recovery, improved …

2017年3月18日 · Almost every patient gets x-rays in the PACU after a TKA. Examine the femoral and tibial component, knee alignment, to determine if the technique was successful.

In this review article, the authors looked at 12 common clinical scenarios of a post op TKA patient with the imaging recommendations rated by appropriateness by the American College of Radiology (4). Rating = American college of radiology appropriateness scale: 1,2,3 usually not appropriate; 4,5,6 may be appropriate; 7,8,9 usually appropriate. (4)

2022年6月4日 · Radiological assessment of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the diagnostic standard of care after surgery and during follow-up. Post-operative evaluation of TKA is essential for the surgeon to assess the adequacy of the procedure and to ensure ideal component positioning and alignment.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), primarily used to treat pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis, is the most commonly performed joint replacement procedure in the United States [1,2].

Postoperative alignment of total knee replacement. Its effect on survival. Alignment and long-term clinical results of a semiconstrained knee prosthesis. Effect of knee component alignment on tibial load distribution with clinical correlation

Real-time video x-ray or fluoroscopy can help identify the abnormal motion of the knee joint. CT without contrast can also assess for loosening, inflammation, bone loss, or small fracture around the prosthesis. Additionally, CT can also help evaluate whether the parts of the joint replacement have rotated from the initial placement.

2014年9月1日 · Today, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide. The purpose of this article is to review the appearance of normal post-TKA roentgenographs and describe the correct sequence for their interpretation.
