A femoral attachment misplaced too proximal will result in excess graft tension in deep flexion as the graft tries to stretch across the long anterior to posterior dimension of the femoral condyles.

Abstract The new P.F.C. Sigma RP-F (rotating-platform high-flexion) knee has been designed to permit 155° of flexion after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without compromising wear, polyethylene ...

Dr. Michael Ries, of the University of California in San Francisco, discussed externally rotating the femoral component in total knee replacements. Although external rotation of the femoral ...

Pure valgus stress may also result in an ACL tear, with imaging findings often demonstrating a contusion on the lateral femoral condyle (from direct impact), as well as an ACL tear, medial ...

The rates of clostridium infection were 0.12 percent among patients who received sports-medicine tissues (i.e., tendons, femoral condyles, menisci) from Tissue Bank A and 0.36 percent among those ...

Isolated femoral condyle lesions account for 75% of the cartilage repair procedures performed in the knee joint, and physicians have a variety of techniques to consider as part of surgical treatment.

Mohamed Morsy, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, is an author of a recently published article titled “Reconstruction of a Pediatric Lateral Femoral Condyle After ...

An arthroscope is inserted into the knee and large chondral defects are trimmed from the weight-bearing surfaces of the femoral condyles, using instruments such as a blunt hook or an electric shaver.
