Download or read book Reconstruction of the Knee Joint written by S. Niwa and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-04 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 20 years have passed since the International Symposium on Total Knee Replacement was held in London in 1974. Prosthetic design and operative technique have been greatly improved since then, and there is now an accepted standard concept of total knee arthroplasty. Thirteen years after the London symposium, another international symposium on total knee replacement was held, this time in Nagoya, Japan, in 1987. Its ambitious objective was to push forward the frontiers of continuous investigation and improve ment of total knee replacement. The fruits of the individual efforts presented at the Nagoya symposium were published in a volume of proceedings entitled Total Knee Replacement. In the years since 1987, further investigations have been conducted in various parts of the world regarding prosthetic design, fixation, long-term radiological follow-up, biomechanical evaluation, and biomaterials research. In knee ligament reconstruc tion, rapid progress has been made in the past five years in clinical practice and fundamental research by means of arthroscopic surgery and tissue transplantation, and we have come close to establishing a standard treatment. Under these circumstances, an international symposium on knee joint reconstruc tion was planned for 1994, again to be held in Nagoya, to provide ample opportunity for exchanging information and sharing clinical experience from around the world.

Download or read book Dr Knee written by Shaw-Ruey Lyu and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's practice has identified a common but little recognised cause of knee osteoarthritis (knee OA), and in 2004 he devised an arthroscopic treatment option called arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure (ACRFP) that has, without using artificial knees, (1) relieved thousands of patients of their knee pain without using analgesics, (2) helped open up the joint space in their knees, and (3) improved their mobility. The ACRFP has debunked the myth that cartilage in the knee naturally degenerates and proved that "degenerative arthritis of the knee" is a misnomer. Since 2007, his practice has further expanded the ACRFP into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management protocol-the knee health promotion option (KHPO)-to treat patients with knee OA. The result shows the effectiveness of the KHPO in treating knee OA. Thousands of people have therefore kept their knees under this KHPO. This common but little recognised cause of knee OA is based on the work of his research team that has spanned 15 years. They have published 12 scientific papers on this research. The KHPO has been built on their knowledge about this disease process. Knowing how knee OA originates, evolves, and deteriorates has given them a solid foundation upon which to design and improve a focused treatment protocol that has field-proven to halt that deterioration process. Contents: * Terminology * The KHPO in a nutshell * What has ACRFP done for patients * The hidden hazards of ineffective conservative treatment * Why is the ACRFP better for the knees? * The conventional protocol vs the KHPO protocol * Patient activism * A concerned surgeon and his thoughts * Patient's choices * Physician's clinical experiences * The best scientific evidence * The making of an ideal KHPO surgeon

Download or read book Joint Arthroplasty written by Shinichi Imura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of total joint arthroplasty throughout the world has contributed manifold benefits to patients who suffer from joint diseases. Concurrently, however, there has been an increase in revision surgery. Many orthopedic surgeons agree that durability of prostheses is an eternal problem. In particular, periprosthetic osteolysis recently has been identified as one of the serious problems affecting prosthetic dura bility. To improve durability, osteolysis and many other problems must be investi gated and solved both experimentally and clinically with respect to such aspects as prosthetic material, design, and biological and biomechanical behavior. This book comprises 37 papers that were presented by orthopedic surgeons and biomedical engineers at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Replace ment Arthroplasty, held in March 1998 in Kanazawa, Japan. The volume is thus a compilation of the latest knowledge about the pathogenesis and reduction of osteolysis and wear, newly developed total hip prostheses, and other current topics of total knee arthroplasty. We earnestly hope that this book will be of benefit to clinicians and researchers, and that it will contribute to the creation of more durable total joint prostheses in the future.

Download or read book Principles of Human Joint Replacement written by Frederick F. Buechel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drs. Buechel, an orthopaedic surgeon, and Pappas, a professor of Mechanical Engineering, are the designers of several successful joint replacement systems. The most well-known of these is the pioneering LCS knee replacement. They have written this book for the users and designers of joint replacements. It is an attempt to convey to the reader the knowledge accumulated by the authors during their thirty five year effort on the development of replacement devices for the lower limb for the purpose of aiding the reader in their design and evaluation of joint replacement devices. The early chapters describe the engineering, scientific and medical principles needed for replacement joint evaluation. One must understand the nature and performance of the materials involved and their characteristics in vivo, i.e. the response of the body to implant materials. It is also essential to understand the response of the implants to applied loading and motion, particularly in the hostile physiological environment. A chapter describes the design methodology now required for joint replacement in the USA and EU countries. The remaining chapters provide a history of joint replacement, an evaluation of earlier and current devices and description of the design rationale for some of the authors devices with which the authors are, of course, quite familiar.
