Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure is a complication of ACL reconstruction (ALCR). Smaller autograft diameter may be a contributing factor. Our aim was to determine if hamstring autograft diameter influences graft rupture and patient-reported outcome scores.This study included 786 consecutive patients undergoing primary, single bundle, autograft hamstring ACLR. The primary outcome was...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can result in significant blood loss, leading to a need for blood transfusion. The major indication of transfusion is post-operative hemoglobin (Hb) levels in association with symptomatic anemia. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of eliminating routine post-operative Hb tests in patients undergoing TKA with intra-articular tranexamic acid (TXA) use...
Patient specific guides (PSG) have been reported to improve overall component alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). With more surgeons likely to consider this method of TKA in the future, this study was performed to establish whether there is a learning curve with use of PSG in TKA.Eighty-six consecutive PSG TKAs performed by one surgeon were retrospectively analyzed in two groups. The first...
Patient specific guides (PSG's) were developed to improve overall component alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to undertake a comparative radiographic study of two commonly used PSG and determine whether the radiographic technique used to construct the PSG had a significant effect on overall alignment.This prospective cohort study examined the accuracy of limb-based...
Patient specific guides (PSG) have been introduced as a tool in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in an attempt to improve limb alignment and reduce operative time compared to other established surgical techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the post-operative radiographic alignment and operative time in patients who underwent TKA surgery with PSG, conventional instrumentation or computer-assisted...
