Journal ArticleDOI
The role of bone void fillers in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: a systematic review
Omer Slevin,Olufemi R. Ayeni,Stefan Hinterwimmer,Thomas Tischer,Matthias J. Feucht,Michael T. Hirschmann +5 more
TL;DR: This systematic review showed no definitive advantages for OWHTO with any bone void filler in terms of union rates and loss of correction, and when bone grafting is needed, autograft bone provides higher rates of clinical and radiographic union.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral alignment leads to higher knee society scores after total knee arthroplasty in preoperatively non-varus patients: a prospective clinical study using 3D-CT
Omer Slevin,Anna Hirschmann,Filippo Schiapparelli,Felix Amsler,Rolf W. Huegli,Michael T. Hirschmann +5 more
TL;DR: A significant correlation was found between neutral limb alignment and higher KSS only in patients with preoperative non-varus alignment, suggesting that one should aim for a more individualized, alignment target based on the individual knee morphotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
No correlation between coronal alignment of total knee arthroplasty and clinical outcomes: a prospective clinical study using 3D-CT
TL;DR: The postoperative outcome was not influenced by coronal TKA component position as well as the whole leg alignment and the findings challenge the current target of neutral coronal alignment and point towards a more individualized mechanical alignment target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronal femoral TKA position significantly influences in vivo patellar loading in unresurfaced patellae after primary total knee arthroplasty.
Omer Slevin,Florian A. Schmid,Filippo-Franco Schiapparelli,Helmut Rasch,Felix Amsler,Michael T. Hirschmann +5 more
TL;DR: Findings highlight the importance of femoral TKA position in coronal plane with regard to post-operative patellar tracking and explain anterior knee pain in unhappy TKA with femoral valgus alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased in vivo patellofemoral loading after total knee arthroplasty in resurfaced patellae.
TL;DR: Patellar resurfacing is related to significantly higher BTU in the anterior parts of the patella and lower clinical outcomes, and SPECT/CT might be considered as the ideal imaging modality for evaluation and investigate of patellofemoral disorders after TKA.
