It is probable that some forms of pathoanatomy might affect longer-term clinical outcomes of KA TKA and make the rKA technique or additional surgical corrections (realignment osteotomy, retinacular ligament reconstruction etc).
Refinements included trimming, removal of truncated and other defective sequences, recruitment of additional sequences, and realignment as necessary to create representative seed alignments.
Perhaps the most often needed additional procedure is distal realignment in the case of excess tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance.
This additional smoothing was applied during the realignment process only in order to obtain the realignment matrix.
Movement parameters from realignment corrections were entered as additional covariates of no interest to account for residual movement artifacts after realignment.
Do you combine additional surgical procedures, such as a distal realignment and/or lateral retinacular release, when you find an abnormal Q angle (> 10°), or a great tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance (> 20 mm), or a flattened trochlea?
Along with the construction of Stanton Middle School, several changes were made to the campus between 1997 and 2000, including additional sports facilities and practice fields and the realignment of Roosevelt Drive.
While current navigation techniques can assist the surgeon with the technically demanding placement of osteotomes (Langlotz et al. 1998), additional means to plan and achieve ideal joint realignment are desirable.
The movement and rotations estimated during the realignment step were used to create six additional regressors of no interest.
To compensate for the distortion, spatial re-mapping correction was applied following spatial realignment; this required the acquisition of an additional scan with the participant at rest, consisting of 20 volumes of interleaved dual direction phase encoding (10 left-to-right phase encoding, KL, and 10 right-to-left phase encoding, KR).
