Relevant changes of leg alignment after customised individually made bicompartmental knee arthroplasty due to overstuffing.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the change in knee alignment after customised individually made (CIM) bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) and the subsequent consequences for patellar tracking. ⋯ IV, case series.

Recommendations for resuming elective hip and knee arthroplasty in the setting of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: the European Hip Society and European Knee Associates Survey of Members.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the health care system around the entire globe. A consensus is needed about resuming total hip and knee procedures. The European Hip Society (EHS) and the European Knee Association (EKA) formed a panel of experts that have produced a consensus statement on how the safe re-introduction of elective hip and knee arthroplasty should be undertaken. ⋯ The survey has shown good-to-excellent agreement of the participants with regards to the statements made in the recommendations for the safe return to elective arthroplasty following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do the increment of femoral condyle curvature and the change of tibia shape improve clinical outcome in total knee arthroplasty? A propensity score matching analysis.
Recently, the Persona total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system with more anatomical features and a similarly high flexion to the previous version, LPS-Flex, was introduced and is widely used. This study aimed to compare the early outcomes obtained using Persona versus an LPS-Flex fixed PS implant. ⋯ III.

Observational StudyPreoperative soft tissue laxity around knee was associated with less accurate alignment correction after hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy.
This study aimed to assess the effect of soft tissue correction due to knee joint laxity, which induces alignment error after hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO). In addition, to verify whether postoperative soft tissue correction can be predicted from preoperative radiographic parameters. ⋯ Preoperative values for JLCA and JLCA under valgus stress are associated with soft tissue correction. Surgeons should, therefore, consider these measurements to achieve postoperative limb alignment.
