TL;DR: Real improvements in the outcome of TKA must address prevention of residual pain, stiffness and swelling, and each patient's preoperative concept of the likely outcome of these procedures.

TL;DR: Increasing clinical evidence suggests that distal filling of the femur also is necessary to minimize the incidence of postoperative symptoms, particularly in revision procedures, so that stable fixation may be achieved regardless of variations in bone geometry.

TL;DR: Arthroscopic and anatomic observations support the concept that labral disruption and degenerative joint disease are frequently part of a continuum of joint disease.

TL;DR: The new Knee Society Knee Scoring System has been developed and validated, in part, to better characterize the expectations, satisfaction, and physical activities of the younger and more diverse population of current patients undergoing TKA.

TL;DR: The data show that patients who had total knee replacements still experienced substantial functional impairment compared with their age- and gender-matched peers, especially when doing biomechanically demanding activities, which suggests that significant improvements in the procedure and prosthetic designs are needed to restore normal knee function after a total knee arthroplasties.
