Anteroposterior radiographs of a sixty-five-year-old man made eleven years after bilateral total knee arthroplasty with NexGen LPS fixed-bearing knee implants show that the implants appear well-fixed, with no evidence of loosening. The right patella was not resurfaced.

Incidence of arthroplasty in patients with HIV/AIDS over time in the United States. The national estimates were calculated from the NIS with use of discharge weights. THA = total hip arthroplasty, and TKA = total knee arthroplasty.

Representative images from MMP-13 staining of the native, native/immobilized, and repaired/immobilized groups at two and four weeks (×20). A, Native tendon at two weeks. B, Native/immobilized tendon at two weeks. C, Repaired/immobilized tendon at two weeks. D, Native tendon at four weeks. E, Native/immobilized tendon at four weeks. F, Repaired/immobilized tendon at four weeks.

Anteroposterior standing radiograph of a knee that had late failure due to polyethylene wear nineteen years after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Schematic block diagram illustrating the ACL Clinical Pathway with perioperative steps for patients and guidelines for providers. NMCSD = Naval Medical Center San Diego, ACLR = anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, ASA = American Society of Anesthesiologists, d/c = discharge, OR = operating room, PT = physical therapy, rehab = rehabilitation, PACU = post-anesthesia care unit, POD = postoperative day, s/p = status post, H&P = history and physical, Rx = prescription, and abx = antibiotics.

Flowchart showing the identification of the study cohort. OA = osteoarthritis.

To determine the posterior tibial slope, a line is drawn down the longitudinal axis of the tibia on a true lateral radiograph. Then a line is drawn from the peak anterior and posterior points on the medial tibial plateau. The posterior tibial slope is defined as the angle between the line joining the tibial plateau and the line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Estimated prevalence of total knee replacement (TKR) in the U.S. by age and sex. Each bar represents the percent of the population with total knee replacement, stratified by age group (increasing from left to right) and sex (blue for male and orange for female). The error bars around each prevalence estimate represent 95% confidence intervals.
