Pal B, Puthumanapully PK, Amis AA, 2013, (ii) Biomechanics of implant fixation, Orthopaedics and Trauma, Vol: 27, Pages: 76-84, ISSN: 1877-1327
In joint replacement, stability of the implant is provided by a combination of the techniques adopted to fix the implant to the surrounding bone and the geometric features of the implant. Fixation techniques can either use cement or be cementless. Cemented fixation uses PMMA bone cement to grout the implant and bone together, while cementless fixation involves either a press-fit between the implant and bone, or specific design features that encourage bone growth into or onto the implant. Although both of these fixation techniques perform well in terms of longevity, each method functions better than the other in certain patient groups, and each has some positives and negatives. This article reports an overview of the fundamental aspects of the fixation techniques, their clinical advantages and disadvantages, associated clinical concerns and recent trends of fixation in clinical practice. This will be coupled with specific examples on how certain geometric features of an implant help in achieving initial and long-term stability and fixation. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Van Arkel R, Amis A, 2013, (i) Basics of orthopaedic biomechanics, Orthopaedics and Trauma, Vol: 27, Pages: 67-75, ISSN: 1877-1327
An outline of the basic principles of orthopaedic biomechanics is presented. Joint moments, muscle moment arms, in vivo forces, contact stresses and joint stability are all discussed with recent clinical examples to demonstrate their importance. These clinical examples focus on the hip and the knee and include: the effects of femoral offset and reducing the abductor moment arm on hip arthroplasty, how the knee adduction moment causes an asymmetric load distribution between the condyles, the magnitude of in vivo forces and their implications for wear, the consequences of meniscectomy on cartilage contact stresses, extreme contact stresses caused by edge loading in hip replacements, the effect of femoral head size and capsular repair in total hip replacement stability, knee medial rotation and the role of the anterior cruciate ligament in joint stability. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

During total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) has a tendency to be considered as an afterthought despite the fact that the patella and trochlea of the femur are frequently involved in certain patterns of knee osteoarthritis and deformity. Indeed, the PFJ in arthroplasty is a well-documented source of complications including subluxations, dislocations, tilts and impingements which are associated with pain and poor function [8, 30]. Such issues should therefore not be dismissed lightly (Fig. 15.1). Archibeck et al. [3] found that patellar tilt or subluxation occurred in 45 % of primary TKAs. Baldini et al. [4] reported high rates of pain and fracture when patellar issues were ignored.

Amis AA, Robinson JR, 2012, The anatomy and biomechanics of the medial collateral ligament and posteromedial corner of the knee, The Knee Joint: Surgical Techniques and Strategies, Pages: 23-30, ISBN: 9782287993527
The medial and posteromedial aspect of the knee has been studied much less than the posterolateral aspect. The underling reason for that relates to the greater healing potential of the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which means that medial injuries are often treated conservatively, so there has been less pressure to develop sophisticated methods to treat these structures surgically. A further contributor to this situation is the difference in the mechanical environment, which means that injuries may have differing impacts on function. However, because the clinician is always alert to the possibility of damage to the posterolateral structures, it may be the case that medial side injuries are not looked for, or that changes in rotational laxity are misdiagnosed.
Amis AA, Edwards A, Apsingi S, 2012, Graft tunnel positioning during PCL reconstruction, The Knee Joint: Surgical Techniques and Strategies, Pages: 387-393, ISBN: 9782287993527
This chapter will review the scientific and surgical literature relating to PCL reconstruction, which is a subject that has received relatively little attention and that remains a subject for debate. In order for a PCL reconstruction to be classed as successful objectively, it has to reduce the pathological posterior translation laxity at least close to 'normal'. Because of variability between people, normal is usually defi ned as being a match to the laxity measured on the contralateral knee, with the proviso that the other knee should itself not have a history of injury that could have aff ected its anterior-posterior (AP) translation laxity (1). Methods for objective measurement of tibial resting position and laxity with respect to the femur are beyond the scope of this chapter, but the reader should note the probability that PCL damage will aff ect the neutral resting position of the tibia, which usually drops posteriorly.

Raphael BS, Maak T, Cross MB, et al., 2011, From wall graft to roof graft: reassessment of femoral posterior cruciate ligament positioning., Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ), Vol: 40, Pages: 479-484
In many technique guides for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, the PCL is depicted on the wall of the medial femoral condyle (MFC). We hypothesized that most of the anterolateral (AL) bundle originates on the roof of the intercondylar notch (ICN), not on the wall. Using a surgical navigation system, we delineated and morphed in the computer the entire PCL footprint-the AL bundle, the posteromedial (PM) bundle, and the Humphrey ligament (HL)-of 7 fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens. A clock face was defined in the en face view, with the 12-o'clock axis pointing anteriorly through the top of the notch and the roof being the region between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. The AL-bundle, PM-bundle, and HL positions were calculated in terms of this clock-face definition. Mean centroids (o'clock position) over all specimens of AL bundle, PM bundle, and HL were, respectively, 10:49, 9:43, and 9:00 on the left knee and 1:11, 2:17, and 3:00 on the right knee. Mean areas were 63 mm(2) (AL bundle), 63 mm(2) (PM bundle), and 45 mm(2) (HL). In 5 of the 7 specimens tested, 100% of the AL bundle originated on the roof of the ICN. Conversely, 66% of the PM bundle and 100% of the HL inserted on the wall of the MFC rather than on the intercondylar roof. Using computer navigation software, we determined that most of the AL bundle originates on the roof of the ICN and that the PM bundle is centered near the transition between the roof and the wall of the MFC. These findings contradict the depiction in most technique guides for PCL reconstruction. Implant companies and surgeons should modify their techniques to shift PCL graft tunnels from the wall of the MFC to the roof of the ICN.
