replacements using the cemented and cementless press-fit condylar posterior cruciate ligament-retaining prosthesis. They found a significant sex difference, where males had a significantly increased risk for failure with cemented fixation compared with females (hazard ratio, 2.48; P =.004). Females demonstrated similar failure rates

Replacement pathway, researchers found that prior knee arthroscopy was a significant predictor of chronic pain after total knee replacement.8 It is important to ask patients about type and timing of any prior knee surgeries as part of the preoperative discussion. The surgeon should

ankles to improve flexibility and minimize abnormal forces on the knee. Corrections to core/trunk control, posture, and gait have been shown to improve symptoms in those with anterior knee pain and improved biomechanics in the coronal plane.27-29 Activity modification can be offered to patients

arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures performed worldwide. There are more than 1 million THAs performed yearly, and that number is increasing as the population ages. In the United States alone, more than 300,000 THAs are performed annually.1 The prevalence
