What is the current medical trend in knee transplant surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better success: The success of total knee arthroplasty (tka) over the past two decades of use has resulted in the implantation of tka into younger patients who have increased functional requirements and demand increased implant longevity. Improved functional performance requires enhanced range of motion, increased motor performance, and creation of kinematic patterns that more closely resemble the normal knee.
