Comparative StudySurgical options for chronic patellar tendon rupture in total knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study was to compare mid-term results of three different reconstructive techniques for chronic patellar tendon disruption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several surgical techniques have been proposed, but to date it is still unclear which is the best solution. The hypothesis was that allografts provide better functional results than autografts in restoring a correct joint function. ⋯ IV.

Revision total knee arthroplasty with porous-coated metaphyseal sleeves provides radiographic ingrowth and stable fixation.
Porous-coated metaphyseal sleeves are designed to fill bone defects and facilitate osseointegration when bone loss in encountered during revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate short-term results of porous-coated metaphyseal sleeves with regards to implant fixation and clinical outcomes. ⋯ IV.

Does final component alignment correlate with alignment of the bone resection surfaces in cemented total knee arthroplasty?
To examine, with a navigation, whether the final component alignments correlate with alignment of the bone resection surfaces in cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to evaluate the factors affecting alignment deviation. ⋯ IV.

Anterior cruciate ligament graft fixation first in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction best restores knee kinematics.
To evaluate the effect of different graft fixation sequences in one-stage anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction on (1) knee biomechanics and (2) tibiofemoral alignment. ⋯ Fixation of the ACL graft at 30° of knee flexion followed by fixation of the PCL graft can best restore the tibiofemoral position of the intact knee. This study has clinical relevance in regard to the effect of graft fixation sequence on the position of the tibia relative to the femur in one-stage ACL and PCL reconstruction.

Both isolated and multi-ligament posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction results in improved subjective outcome: results from the Danish Knee Ligament Reconstruction Registry.
There are few descriptions of outcomes after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction in the literature due to the rarity of this type of knee injury. Since 2005, the Danish Knee Ligament Reconstruction Registry (DKRR) has monitored outcomes of PCL reconstructions. This study describes the epidemiology of PCL reconstruction and subsequent outcomes in a Danish population. ⋯ III.
