Patients under 65 face nearly double the risk of revision surgery after total knee arthroplasty compared to those aged 65–79, according to a nationwide French registry of nearly 6,000 knees. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Knee #KSSTA

Kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty keeps the ankle joint's natural position intact, while mechanical alignment significantly shifts talar and tibial plafond inclination one year after surgery. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Knee #KSSTA

Microfracture isn’t dead yet: Even in elite athletes, it still can be a viable option, according to this newKSSTA study. #knee #cartilage #microfracture #clinicaltrials #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Tranexamic acid successfully reduces transfusions and readmissions in high-risk knee replacement patients, though neurologic complications warrant caution in those with seizure histories or pre-existing visual disturbances. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Knee #KSSTA

Despite biomechanical advantages suggesting otherwise, polyether ether ketone and all-suture anchors perform identically in all-inside meniscal repair, with comparable failure rates at 3 years in a cohort of over 2,250 patients.. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Knee #KSSTA

Personalized TKA planning needs a 3D mindset: posterior tibial slope appears phenotype-specific, but might not captured by CPAK categories. #knee #arthroplasty #planning #alignment #CPAK #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

Applying Lean and Lean Six Sigma principles to total knee arthroplasty pathways can cut length of stay by up to 36%, reduce cancellations, and lower sterilisation costs, all without compromising patient outcomes. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

Younger knee arthroplasty patients need implants built for the long run. Cementless Oxford UKA may deliver, according to this new KSSTA study. #knee #arthroplasty #uniknee #clinicaltrials #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

One in four patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction present with a cartilage injury, and how it gets treated depends heavily on who operates and where. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Multi-ligament knee injuries in elite football players are career-threatening injuries. But how exactly do they occur? #knee #injury #videoanalysis #football #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

A novel dynamic CT protocol captures real-time patellofemoral and tibiofemoral motion before and after total knee arthroplasty, overcoming the metal artefact and single-plane limitations that have long hampered in vivo kinematic imaging. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

This in vivo fluoroscopic study examined whether functional alignment in bicruciate-retaining TKA can restore cruciate ligament forces closer to those of the native knee than mechanical alignment. #knee #arthroplasty #alignment #kinematics Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

A recent exchange in KSSTA debates whether increased contralateral knee valgus after ACL reconstruction reflects a neuromuscular risk factor. At KSSTA, we value open scientific discussion. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… and here doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Knee #KSSTA

Patients with greater self-efficacy and a more optimistic outlook score better on shoulder function after AC joint stabilization, while kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing and neuroticism predict worse outcomes. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70… #Shoulder #KSSTA
