Introduction Over the past two decades, fluoroscopy has been used as a tool to perform in vivo analysis of postoperative total joint replacement (TJR) results, primarily knees. The fluoroscope digital images frames when computationally combined with three-dimensional (3D) graphical models…
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has evolved to be a very successful and reliable procedure reducing pain because of osteoarthritis, correcting deformities, and improving disability associated with other pathologic knee conditions. The excellent outcomes of TKA, strong marketing by implant companies…
Analysis Methods The ongoing goal of improving the outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) yields the continuing need for accurate in vivo kinematic analyses. Popular kinematic study techniques include in vivo fluoroscopic analyses, in vitro analyses using cadavers, noninvasive analyses…
