Calipered Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty : Theory , Surgical Techniques And Perspectives 1th Edition (EPUB)

Written by Stephen M. Howell

Dr. Stephen M. Howell proposed calipered kinematic alignment, which allows total knee components to be placed precisely and individually within ± 0.5 mm of the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment.

The objective was to rectify the well-documented 20% unhappiness that arises from total knee replacement procedures carried out using conventional or mechanical alignment approaches, by restoring the patient’s native joint kinematics. Dr. Howell has together an international team of skilled surgeons and engineers to address several facets of the calipered knee alignment procedure in succinct, well-illustrated chapters, with co-editors Drs. Stefano A. Bini and G. Daxton Steele.

For the purpose of adopting and putting into practice calipered kinematic alignment, each author offers concise, helpful advice on manual , patient-specific, guided and robotic approaches. Surgeons can better manage complicated difficulties related to deformity and post-operative complications by consulting chapters on component design specifically optimized for kinematic alignment and demonstrating the intimate relationship between knee biomechanics and the kinematically aligned TKA.

Numerous international studies have demonstrated that the calipered kinematic alignment technique, as opposed to the conventional mechanical alignment technique, consistently results in higher patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty. An new paradigm shift in the theory of total knee replacement is being accepted by orthopedic surgeons and forward-thinking implant firms worldwide, with great outcomes, due to improved function and high long-term implant survival.

The gold standard in the field, Caliperered Kinematically Aligned Knee Arthroplasty has the following features: Detailed descriptions of how the three rotational axes of the native knee are aligned and the complete knee components are precisely set using the calipered kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty, coinciding with the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment. A customized method of total knee replacement that restores the patient’s natural biomechanics as opposed to mechanical alignment, which aligns all patients uniformly regardless of their anatomical composition.

comprehensive and beautifully illustrated explanations of robotic, manual, navigational, and patient-specific guide approaches that use calipers to verify kinematic alignment. There are line drawings, radiographs, and clinical photographs all across the book in addition to practical online technique videos. Important focal points are how to manage difficult abnormalities, what to expect after surgery and potential developments in kinematic alignment. the combined expertise and experience of global leaders in the field. a focus on a customized surgical approach that facilitates same-day discharge, lowers pain and opioid consumption, and encourages a quicker recovery, improved function, and a knee that feels more natural.
