Abstract:
Joint replacement and reconstruction is one of the most rewarding surgery done by Orthopaedic surgeons worldwide, and various researches are constantly being done to improve the outcomes of this already rewarding surgery. Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed surgery and has seen numerous advances in terms of implant design, surgical approaches and surgical methods over the past years. Patient specific instrumentation uses preoperative 3D model, constructed using preoperative radiographs of the lower limbs, CT scans and MRI. These 3D models are used to create disposable cutting blocks or positioning templates which are specific to the patient and take into account patient’s specific anatomical landmarks, deformities and osteophytes. Robotic assisted TKA is another step towards improving accuracy of the surgical procedure. Along with the accurate bone cuts it also aids in assessing the soft tissues balance and appropriate positioning of the implant components. Sensors in TKA helps in improving a vital component of total knee arthroplasty, namely ligament balancing. Though the other technologies can assess the ligament and soft tissue tension, but still the mainstay remains the assessment by the surgeon, which relies on the BMI, the inherent laxity, joint contractures etc.
