Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) can be challenging surgery, due to exposure difficulties and limited access to portions of the anatomy.
If Computer-Assisted Surgery is More Accurate, Why Isn’t it More Prevalent?
There are two things that all total knee surgeons can agree on when it comes to imageless computer navigation: It is more accurate than mechanical instrumentation in obtaining coronal alignment of the limb, and it is painful to adopt into one’s practice.
A New Perspective in Total Ankle Arthroplasty
As a group, arguably we have unparalleled clinical and research experience with TAA. Each of us has formulated potential improvements to the existing body of knowledge of TAA and has had some hand in the improvement of existing total ankle systems or development of potential new systems.
Additive Manufacturing Technology for Orthopaedic Implants
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process that creates a three-dimensional object by building successive layers of raw material, such as metal, plastic, tissue scaffolds, concrete and even food.
Fit of Modern Femoral Knee Implant Design to Native Trochlear Groove
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a mature surgical procedure for the treatment of endstage knee arthritis. Despite its overall high clinical success, many patients still report pain and discomfort after TKA, with approximately 20% of the patients not satisfied with the clinical outcomes.
Truliant® Femoral Component Fit in Medium to Small Sized Knees
In the modern era of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), comprehensive consideration of an individual’s bone and soft tissue characteristics has gained more focus.
Distal Femoral Morphology and its Correlation With Two Contemporary TKA Designs
Morphological fit of the femoral component is important for the success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
An Outpatient Approach and Protocol for Total Hip Arthroplasty
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has been a successful, increasing practice for caring for hip arthritis in the aging and active population.
Performing Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in an Outpatient Setting
Although considered cutting edge only a few years ago, outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has now become routine at some facilities.
