This book focuses on two major areas in the field of computer assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS): hip and knee surgery. It reviews the current clinical status of the various CAOS tools for hip and knee arthroplasty, osteotomy, ligament reconstruction, spine surgery, trauma surgery, and tumour surgery that have become available in recent years and discusses future applications based on fundamental research and continuously developing computer technology / devices. Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery for Hip and Knee highlights three areas – total knee arthroplasty (TKA); total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip osteotomy; and statistical shape modelling. It is a valuable resource for orthopaedic surgeons, clinical technologists and computer scientists and other specialists interested in this technology.

The techniques of computer and robotic assisted surgery are making a major impact on the practice of orthopaedics. This book provides a complete overview of the technical and clinical aspects of computer-assisted surgery with extensive coverage of the use of robotic and navigation technologies in the surgical setting. The first part of the book presents the clinical problems and describes the basic technological components. The second part of the book describes specific applications in hip and knee reconstructive surgery.

This open access book describes and illustrates the surgical techniques, implants, and technologies used for the purpose of personalized implantation of hip and knee components. This new and flourishing treatment philosophy offers important benefits over conventional systematic techniques, including component positioning appropriate to individual anatomy, improved surgical reproducibility and prosthetic performance, and a reduction in complications. The techniques described in the book aim to reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, thereby improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes in the quest of the forgotten joint. They include kinematically aligned total knee/total hip arthroplasty, partial knee replacement, and hip resurfacing. The relevance of available and emerging technological tools for these personalized approaches is also explained, with coverage of, for example, robotics, computer-assisted surgery, and augmented reality. Contributions from surgeons who are considered world leaders in diverse fields of this novel surgical philosophy make this open access book will invaluable to a wide readership, from trainees at all levels to consultants practicing lower limb surgery

This state-of-the-art book focuses specifically on the current and emerging uses of robotics for knee and hip arthroplasty, with an expanding market anticipated, particularly as costs drop, data emerges and surgical efficiencies improve. It is divided into four main sections. Part one covers the background and basic principles of robotics in orthopedic surgery, discussing its history and evolution, current concepts and available technologies, perioperative protocols for recovery and pain management, economic considerations, and risks and complications. The second and third parts focus on the techniques themselves for the knee and hip respectively, including unicompartmental and bicompartmental knee arthroplasty, patellofemoral arthroplasty, and total knee and hip arthroplasty utilizing Navio, Mako, iThink, Omni and ROSA Knee robots. The final section presents the emerging use of robotics in spine surgery as well as for hospital process improvement. Presenting the most current techniques, technology and evidence, Robotics in Knee and Hip Arthroplasty will be a valuable resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents and fellows looking to implement and utilize these developing management strategies in their clinical practice.

Written by leading experts from the Mayo Clinic, this volume of our Orthopaedic Surgery Essentials Series presents all the information residents need on hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow reconstruction in adults. It can easily be read cover to cover during a rotation or used for quick reference before a patient workup or operation. The user-friendly, visually stimulating format features ample illustrations, algorithms, bulleted lists, charts, and tables. Coverage of each region includes physical evaluation and imaging, evaluation and treatment of disorders, and operative treatment methods. The extensive coverage of operative treatment includes primary and revision arthroplasty and alternatives to arthroplasty.

This comprehensive reference on total knee arthroplasty describes all surgical techniques and prosthetic designs for primary and revision arthroplasty, discusses every aspect of patient selection, preoperative planning, and intraoperative and postoperative care.

Explore the many changes in hip and knee arthroplasty in recent years with completely new chapters on thromboprophylaxis, outpatient surgery, pain management, retrieval—hip and knee, medical and biologic treatment of arthritis, nonarthroplasty management, infection, periprosthetic fracture, anatomy and surgical approaches, and dual-mobility cups and large-diameter heads for primary and revision total hip arthroplasty. Expand your knowledge with the standard in adult hip and knee reconstruction, while you advance patient care with the best practices available. Developed in partnership with The Hip Society and The Knee Society, OKU® Hip and Knee Reconstruction 6 examines current research and reviews of the most relevant topics chosen by recognized authorities. Find a wealth of information on cutting-edge developments and approaches for surgically challenging conditions. Orthopaedic surgeons with a specialty interest in hip and knee reconstruction, and physicians and allied health interested in staying up to date on best practices will benefit from this edition. Residents in training can review key topics paired with helpful guidelines and images.
