PURPOSE: The restoration of the physiological femoro-tibial joint line (JL) is important to obtain a good outcome in revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). However, its assessment is challenging. The ratio of the distance between the adductor tubercle (AT) JL (ATJL) and the trans-epicondylar femoral width (FW) was proposed as a reliable method. The purpose of this study was to check whether this ratio is a reliable tool to restore the prosthetic JL height in challenging prosthetic revision cases...

INTRODUCTION: Restoring the joint line (JL) in primary as well as revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) influences clinical results as well as long-term survival rates. Whereas studies agree about the negative effect of JL alteration, the reference system of choice is unclear. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of JL allocation comparing a ratio to a distance method on clinical outcome following revision TKA. MATERIALS: After a miminum follow-up of 2 years JL reconstruction was evaluated in 69 consecutive patients after revision TKA...

PURPOSE: Distal humeral fractures are rare, but severe injuries, the treatment of which is often accompanied by serious complications and its outcome strongly depends on the quality of surgical therapy. Non-union is a common entity, compromising clinical results and requiring revision surgery. Osteonecrosis is an underestimated etiologic factor in the development of non-union. The present study aims to display the distribution patterns of the arterial vessels at the distal humerus, to correlate the displayed vessels with local nutrient foramina and to disclose an endangerment of these structures by common osteosynthetic implants...

INTRODUCTION: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique used to measure tissue oxygenation. In this study we describe oxyneurography (ONG), a novel application of the NIRS technique in non-invasive surface measurement of oxygenation in ulnar nerve. METHODS: NIRS sensors were applied directly over the ulnar epicondylar groove to measure the ulnar nerve ONG index, a ratio of oxygenated over total hemoglobin content. Ulnar motor conduction studies were obtained in all subjects...

Restoration of the position of the prosthetic joint line (JL) to the same level as the original JL is a challenging problem in primary adn revision knee arthroplasty, and there is no reliable method for achieving this objective. We hypothesized that there is a constant ratio between the interepicondylar distance (IED) and the perpendicular distance from this interepicondylar line to the JL and analyzed 100 computed tomography scans of the knee to study this relationship. The IED and the perpendicular distance from this interepicondylar line to the JL was measured using both the clinical epicondylar axis (CEA) and the surgical epicondylar axis (SEA)...

The ovine stifle has been increasingly used as a large animal model for the human knee. Still, comparative anatomical measurements of the knee in sheep and humans are missing. Thus, the purpose of this study was to describe and measure the osseous anatomy of the ovine stifle in comparison to the human knee. Twenty-four stifles of skeletal-mature merino-sheep and 24 human cadaver knees were obtained and distances between selected anatomical structures of the distal femur, the proximal tibia, and the patella were measured digitally and documented...

The percutaneous placement of lateral distal humeral pins risks injury to the radial nerve. We aimed to provide a reliable and safe parameter for the insertion of lateral distal humeral pins. A secondary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pin/screw placement in the intended zone of fixation at the lateral distal humerus. We dissected 70 fresh cadaveric upper limbs and the radial nerve was identified and its course followed into the anterior compartment. The point where the radial nerve crosses humerus in mid lateral plane was identified and the distance between this point and lateral epicondyle was measured, as was the maximum trans-epicondylar distance, along with the olecranon fossa height...

Cartilage lesion of the patellofemoral joint is a common and challenging disease of the knee and an important cause of anterior knee pain. There are many naturally occurring variations in the anatomy and congruence of the patella and femoral trochlea. The purpose of this study was to identify the variations in patellofemoral anatomy and congruency that predispose to cartilage lesions. Among patients who underwent knee arthroscopy in our center from January 2005 to December 2006, 111 patients with chronic patellofemoral cartilage lesions and anterior knee pain were selected as the lesion group, while 124 patients with isolated meniscus rupture without anterior knee pain were selected as the control group...

This study aims to calculate a clinically relevant and intra-operatively accessible measure of olecranon length that could be reliably applied by the operating surgeon to optimise fixation of comminuted olecranon fractures. One hundred normal adult antero-posterior and lateral radiographs of the elbow were studied with respect to the proximal olecranon height (OH), trochlear notch width (TW) on lateral views, and trans-epicondylar distance (TED) and trochlear width distance (TWD) on AP views. Three mean ratios were then derived: TWD/TW, TED/TW and OH/TW...

Forty-five consecutive knee replacement revision operations done in 44 patients with a revision indication of instability were reviewed. In more than 1/2 of these patients, the prosthetic joint line was malpositioned proximally. At surgery, the joint line was restored through the use of distal femoral augments and balancing of the flexion and extension spaces. The fibular styloid and medial epicondylar reference points were used to determine proper position of the joint line. Scarring or laxity of the patellar tendon rendered the use of the Insall-Salvati ratio for determining joint line position inapplicable in these patients having revision knee replacement...
