Preface



Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is one of the most beneficial procedures for both patients and society




The tibial component should be routinely modular and metal-backed rather than all poluethylene




The use of prosthetic augments is the optimal way for correcting bone defects during TKR




The posterior cruciate should routinely be salvaged during TKR




Femoral rollback is obtainable and beneficial in the total knee patient




The optimal treatment for an infected TKR is a two stage exchange revision




Acrylic cement is the method of choice for fixation of total knee implants




The patella need not be resurfaced during TKR




The optimal way to balance the flexion space is to externally rotate the femoral component




Aspirin is sufficient prophylaxis for DVT for most total knee patients




Unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee is best treated by an osteotomy rather than unicompartmental arthroplasty




Range of motion after TKR can best be obtained using a CPM machine




Proximal release procedures are the optimal way of increasing exposure during TKR




A fixed bearing implant is optimal for most TKRs




Outcome measurement in TKR
