Can a high-flexion total knee arthroplasty relieve pain and restore function without premature failure?
Our data were similar to those reported in patients implanted with traditional and other designs of high-flexion TKA. We found no increased incidence of premature failure, although a higher than expected incidence of posterior femoral radiolucent lines merit continued observation. Patients with less preoperative motion were more likely to benefit from a high-flexion TKA.
Mild hypothermia of either 36 or 34 degrees C prolongs the survival time during lethal UHS in rats.
