Investigating the biomechanical outcomes of a robotic-assisted versus conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its perceived benefits over total knee arthroplasty (TKA), such as greater bone preservation, reduced operating-room time, better post-operative range of motion and improved gait. However there have been …

Development of novel unicondylar knee implants for use with robotic orthopaedic tools
Knee arthroplasty surgeries have become an increasingly common procedure in orthopaedics, especially for younger patients. New robotic technology has been introduced into the orthopaedic surgery with good results. The robotic technology is versatile to use and it then opens up the development of …

Design and development of autonomous robotic machine for knee arthroplasty
… Two systems have been developed to assist unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. One of these systems is the Blue Belt system which is a hand-held robotic tool designed to remove the damaged surfaces of the patient's knee to aid the surgeon during knee replacement surgery. Another more …

Long-term results after partial knee arthroplasty with the Oxford Knee
Introduction Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most common reasons for disability, especially in elderly people. Surgical treatment is still controversial. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, i.e. partial knee arthroplasty, using the Oxford Knee has been available since 1983. The aims of the …

Investigation of the differences in foot and ankle characteristics of patients with lower limb osteoarthritis : implications for clinical practice
… with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee (MCOA) and 60 healthy volunteers using an observational study. A significant difference in foot characteristics was demonstrated. Patients with hip OA demonstrated a lack of dorsiflexion and a greater degree of calcaneal inversion, presenting …
