Study: Knee replacement techniques may require some alignment

A study revealed that orthopedic surgeons could cause unwanted results for patients unintentionally during the replacement of the knee joint, and note that it may be useful to approach an approach for the condition of each patient. During these operations, surgeons usually try to place hip, knee and ankle in a straight line, and a study published in the Bon & Ginnal (Bones and Joint Magazine) has concluded that this idea is bad if this body parts are not in a straight line from the beginning. The study, which includes 231 patients undergoing knee replacement operations due to osteoporosis, has shown that those who changed the knee alignment complained of significantly worse results when they were asked on average after four years after four years. People who have undergone a change in alignment as X -Rays appear before and after surgery, and are measured by a system to classify the knee alignment, they talked about their suffering for more problems and less ability to adapt to their artificial knees during daily activities in the questionnaires aimed at judging their condition after years. In the future, the researchers demand the incorporation of the knee alignment with measuring classification in the steps of planning before surgery and that the original alignment of each patient is the purpose of surgery using a technique using robot. “In future clinical practices, our results can help surgeons before surgery … and follow an approach that takes into account the knee alignment of each case that can become the new standard of quality in orthopedics.”
