Controversies in Total Knee Replacement
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-263072-8 (ISBN)
In the 35 years since the first knee replacement surgery was attempted, there have been numerous changes in the way the prostheses are designed and the manner in which they are implanted. We are now in the fortunate position of being able to report that 95% of patients undergoing a knee replacement report extraordinary relief of pain and the ability to return to an active and productive life. However, the field is not static and there remain areas of controversy.
This book examines many of the unresolved issues in total knee replacement surgery. Each controversial issue is addressed in the format of a debate, with authors from either side of the controversy putting their points of view and then responding to a series of questions, posed by the editor, who acts as the moderator of the discussion. In addition, there are two non-debate chapters, one covering the value of knee replacement to society and the patient, and the other on the precise methodology of collecting and expressing outcome data.
All of the contributors are international experts in their fields and have lectured and written extensively. This book will ensure that the knowledge of today can help to further improve the surgical results of tommorrow.
Preface ; 1. Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is one of the most beneficial procedures for both patients and society ; 2. The tibial component should be routinely modular and metal-backed rather than all polyethylene ; 3. The use of prosthetic augments is the optimal way for correcting bone defects during TKR ; 4. The posterior cruciate should routinely be salvaged during TKR ; 5. Femoral rollback is obtainable and beneficial in the total knee patient ; 6. The optimal treatment for an infected TKR is a two-stage exchange revision ; 7. Acrylic cement is the method of choice for fixation of total knee implants ; 8. The patella need not be resurfaced during TKR ; 9. The optimal way to balance the flexion space is to externally rotate the femoral component ; 10. Aspirin is sufficient prophylaxis for DVT for most total knee patients ; 11. Unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee is best treated by an osteotomy rather than unicompartmental arthroplasty ; 12. Range of motion after TKR can best be obtained using a CPM machine ; Epilogue
