New Findings from Graduate School Yields New Data on Tissue Engineering [Published NewsRX - May 17 2013]

"Balancing ligament tension during TKA surgery is complicated by the fact that the natural knee does not operate like a hinge moving about a single axis. The knee exhibits dynamic external rotation of the tibia relative to the femur as the knee moves from its flexed to its fully extended position. This automatic rotation of the tibia occurs in the opposite direction when the knee is flexed from its fully extended position to produce an internal rotation of the tibia relative to the femur. Thus, the natural knee exhibits a rotary laxity that allows the tibia to rotate through a limited internal and external arc during knee flexion. In addition, the femur translates anteriorly and posteriorly as the tibia is being flexed about it, bringing yet another movement variable into the equation. Thus, the ligaments of the knee, along with the femur, tibia and patella, create a truly dynamic bio-mechanism, making ligament tension balancing in TKA surgery extremely challenging. This challenge is even greater in minimally invasive TKA procedures, in which incisions are smaller than those made in 'open' TKA surgeries. Additionally, the incision made during minimally invasive TKA surgery is biased to the medial side, leaving the lateral side of specifically the distal femur 'closed' to access of front or end loaded surgical instruments"
