Author Dr. Ormonde Mahoney, et al. Journal Journal of Orthopaedics, Volume 69 Summary This study found that 3D-printed metal-backed patellar components in cementless knee replacements had lower revision rates than other cementless designs and comparable durability to cemented components in patients over 65, suggesting the 3D-printed design is a reliable option for total knee arthroplasty.
Author Dr. Ormonde Mahoney, et al. Journal The Journal of Arthroplasty, Volume 38 – Issue 6 Summary This study investigates the impact of posterior osteophytes on alignment correction during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Using imaging and robotic-assisted measurements, it quantifies osteophyte volume and examines how their removal influences joint-line restoration and deformity correction, offering insights…
Author Dr. Ormonde Mahoney, et al. Journal The Journal of Knee Surgery Summary This study compares early outcomes following robotic-arm-assisted versus manual total knee arthroplasty, assessing patient-reported symptoms, satisfaction, expectations, and functional activities over a three-month period. Using standardized scoring systems, it evaluates differences in recovery progress between the two surgical methods, providing insights into…
Author Dr. Ormonde Mahoney, et al. Journal The Journal of Arthroplasty, Volume 33 – Issue 4 Summary This study looked at how the knee moves during total knee replacement surgery and how that movement can affect surgical measurements. Researchers found that when the knee is bent and tested for balance during surgery, the shinbone (tibia)…
Author Dr. Ormonde Mahoney, et al. Journal Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, Volume 472 – Issue 1 Summary This study examines knee joint moments during stair ascent in patients with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), comparing the operated limb to the nondiseased contralateral limb. It analyzes differences in knee kinetics for patients with medial and lateral UKAs and…
