Is proprioception after bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty comparable to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?
This study found superior static balance ability after preservation of both cruciate ligaments in arthroplasty of the knee, indicating superior proprioceptive function. Hence, BCR implants could provide improved functional properties. Superior proprioceptive function of bicruciate-retaining implants can be an important factor in implant selection. Further prospective, randomized studies to investigate kinematics and long-term survivorship of bicruciate-retaining implants are needed.
Screening based on PSA identifies some men with prostate cancer who have a significantly increased proportion of organ-confined tumors compared with those detected through evaluation for an abnormal DRE alone.
