Journal ArticleDOI

Total knee arthroplasty in morbidly obese patients.

TL;DR: It is concluded that total knee arthroplasty in morbidly obese patients can be successful but is associated with an increased rate of perioperative complications, including problems with wound-healing, infection, and avulsion of the medial collateral ligament.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stiffness after total knee arthroplasty. Prevalence of the complication and outcomes of revision.

TL;DR: Revision surgery was a satisfactory treatment option for stiffness, as the Knee Society scores improved, the flexion contractures diminished, and 93% of the knees had an increased arc of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ximelagatran versus warfarin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty. A randomized, double-blind trial.

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled trial compared ximelagatran with warfarin in 680 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and found that xIMelag atran was at least as effective as warfar in the prevention of venous thromboembolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

The results of spacer block technique in revision of infected total knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: An antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate spacer block functions in the delayed exchange approach to chronic deep infection of total knee arthroplasty and provides antibiotic delivery, greater patient comfort and mobility, temporized reimplantation or other surgical options, and improved soft-tissue healing and tension.
