Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Today, knee and hip surgery are among the most successful surgical procedures. Nonetheless, the number and severity of associated complications are still of clinical concern, with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) being a disastrous complication after hip and knee replacement surgery.

The design and implementation of surgery, as well as the overall diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infectious complications, material failure, prosthetic loosening, and joint instability, etc., have been the subject of intensive research to understand, prevent and treat the diseases associated therewith. Rehabilitation training also has very important clinical significance for the postoperative functional recovery of patients.

This Special Issue aims to invite authors to submit original papers or review articles on specific and novel approaches to knee and hip problems, providing readers with the latest research results.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of bone cuts and implant placements, simultaneously, for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed using a system with an active robotic arm. Methods: Two experienced orthopaedic surgeons performed TKA on ten cadaveric legs. Computed tomography scans were performed to compare the bone cuts and implant placements with the preoperative planning. The differences between the planned and actual bone cuts and implant placements were assessed using positional and angular errors in the three anatomical planes. Additionally, the cut–implant deviations were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed to detect systematic errors in the bone cuts and implant placements and to quantify the correlations between these errors. Results: The root-mean-square (RMS) errors of the bone cuts (with respect to the planning) were between 0.7–1.5 mm and 0.6–1.7°. The RMS implant placement errors (with respect to the planning) varied between 0.6–1.6 mm and 0.4–1.5°, except for the femur and tibia in the sagittal plane (2.9°). Systematic errors in the bone cuts and implant placements were observed, respectively, in three and two degrees of freedom. For cut–implant deviations, the RMS values ranged between 0.3–2.0 mm and 0.6–1.9°. The bone cut and implant placement errors were significantly correlated in eight degrees-of-freedom (ρ ≥ 0.67, p < 0.05). Conclusions: With most of the errors below 2 mm or 2°, this study supported the value of active robotic TKA in achieving accurate bone cuts and implant placements. The findings also highlighted the need for both accurate bone cuts and proper implantation technique to achieve accurate implant placements. Full article
