When faced with knee pain or instability, understanding your diagnosis and treatment options is crucial. Two common knee injuries that sometimes require surgery involve the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). A question many patients ask is, “Is MPFL surgery worse than ACL surgery?” The answer isn’t simple, as “worse” is…

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), commonly known as knee replacement surgery, is a life-changing procedure for patients suffering from severe arthritis or knee joint damage. With advancements in medical technology, robotic-assisted knee replacement has emerged as a highly precise alternative to traditional manual knee replacement. But how does the accuracy of robotic TKA compare to manual TKA? Which method offers…

Introduction Knee replacement surgery, or total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is a life-changing procedure for patients suffering from chronic joint pain. However, obese patients undergoing knee replacement surgery face a higher risk of wound healing complications, such as wound dehiscence, delayed healing, and surgical site infections. To address these challenges, a pioneering technique known as retention…

Advancements in orthopaedic surgery continue to revolutionize how joint disorders are treated, particularly in the field of knee arthroplasty. One such innovation—Postero-Central Slice Osteotomy (PCSO) of the proximal tibia—is proving to be a significant milestone in improving surgical outcomes, especially in cases where tight extension gaps challenge total knee replacement procedures. In this article,…
