Aim: This study aims to assess the suitability of the Göttingen Mini-pig (G-MP) as a large animal model for preclinical research on articular cartilage treatment procedures. Additionally, this study compares the G-MP to the domestic pig (DP) reg...
Background: The comparison between the mini-midvastus (mini-MV) and mini-parapatellar (mini-MPP) approach in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a subject of debate. The present study compared quadriceps activation, pain levels, and clinical outcom...
Aims: Total knee arthroplasty in patients with fixed valgus deformity is a demanding procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of using the lateral approach [LA] versus the medial approach [MA] in the treatment of fixed val...
To assess the clinical course of a sheep stifle joint model for osteochondral (OC) defects, medial femoral condyles (MFC) were exposed without patella luxation using medial parapatellar skin (3–4 cm) and deep incisions (2–3 cm). Two defec...
Background: Tibial shaft fractures are frequently treated with intramedullary nailing; however, malalignment remains a concern, particularly in proximal metaphyseal fractures. The surgical approach influenced the nail entry point; however, the three-...
The number of performed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) operations is constantly growing. This study proposes an evaluation of a series of patients undergoing medial pivot (MP) TKA surgery from a subjective, clinical and biomechanical point of view. A...
Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an effective treatment for isolated compartment knee osteoarthritis, but it is associated with a higher risk of revisions. UKA-to-TKA conversions remain surgically challenging. In particular, th...
Introduction: The potential of autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) to restore unipolar focal chondral defects of the knee is promising. However, the outcome compared to microfracturing (MFx) for certain defect sizes (2–3 cm2) is still unc...
Background and Objectives: Neglected patellar dislocation in the presence of end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) is a rare condition characterized by the patella remaining laterally dislocated without reduction. Due to the scarcity of reported cases, the o...
Purpose: There is lack of intraoperative consensus on the distal femur anterior resected surface shape that allows reliable rotational alignment assessment during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to evaluate the ratio and prevalence of anterio...
Background/Objectives: Gait abnormalities in advanced knee osteoarthritis (KOA) are characterized by decreased stride length, walking speed, and cadence. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is intended to improve temporal–spatial gait parameters; how...
