Virtual Geometric Constraint of Total Knee Arthroplasty Designs: Addressing Patient Needs

Virtual Geometric Constraint of Total Knee Arthroplasty Designs: Addressing Patient Needs

by ARC | Apr 7, 2016 | Knee

Restoration of normal knee joint function through surgical reconstruction is dependent upon load sharing between the implant and surrounding ligamentous and other supporting structures. Pathological weakening or surgical excision of these structures imposes an...
The Influence of Contemporary Knee Design on High Flexion IV: A Kinematic Comparison with the Healthy Intact Knee

The Influence of Contemporary Knee Design on High Flexion IV: A Kinematic Comparison with the Healthy Intact Knee

by ARC | Mar 8, 2015 | Knee

Although Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgery enjoys 90% of outcomes with good to excellent results, some patients are uncomfortable adjusting their gait to accommodate the new articulations inherent in many contemporary implant designs. Paradoxical motions,...
Femoral Stem Modularity: Do the Testing Standards Address the Clinical Concerns?

Femoral Stem Modularity: Do the Testing Standards Address the Clinical Concerns?

by ARC | Nov 8, 2014 | Hip

Femoral head modularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA) design emerged in the 1970’s as an alternative to monolithic stem designs to overcome the disadvantages of limited head size and offset availability. Through the use of tapers, modularity has evolved and includes...
