The methodology to develop a subject-specific total knee replacement finite element (TKR FE) model. The subject-specific modeling includes the segmentation and aligning processes as well as geometry processing and volumetric meshing.

Predictive modeling promises to improve our understanding of what variables influence patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this article was to systematically review the relevant literature using predictive models of clinical outcomes after TKA.

The use of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in treatment of chronic degenerative pathologies of the knee boasts of an experience of 50 years. During this period the collaboration between surgeons and engineers produced many developments in the design ...

The training model where a trainee performs the first TKA, followed by the trainer surgeon performing the second TKA, is a unique model to our institution. This study aims to analyze the functional and clinical outcomes of bilateral simultaneous TKA when performed by a trainee or a supervising surgeon, and also to assess these outcomes based on ...

This study set out to test the efficacy of different techniques used to manage to class imbalance, a type of data bias, in application of a large language model (LLM) to predict patient selection for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Sep 23, 2011 · Preoperative planning is essential to total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, TKA templating is historically inaccurate. To improve on templating accuracy and streamline preoperative planning, we set out to predict component sizes based on patient characteristics without radiographs.

May 29, 2020 · We propose a novel precision medicine approach to improving patient-centered TKA outcomes through the development of a multivariate machine-learning model. The primary aim of this model is to predict individual postoperative recovery trajectories.

A total knee replacement (also called total knee arthroplasty) might be more accurately termed a knee "resurfacing" because only the surfaces of the bones are replaced. There are four basic steps to a knee replacement procedure:

Objective: The purpose of our study was to estimate the future incidence rate (IR) and volume of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the United States from 2015 to 2050 using a conservative projection model that assumes a maximum IR of procedures.

In this paper, we present and validate a patient-specific multi-body musculoskeletal TKA model based on sparse input data to address these limitations.
