Abstract:Knee pain is a common reason for medical consultations. A thorough history and clinical examination often provide sufficient information to narrow down the diagnosis before advanced imaging is required. Incorporating classical orthopedic differential diagnoses is particularly useful in this process. Elderly individuals, especially women over 65, are disproportionately affected.

Abstract:In recent years, patient specific alignment (PSA) philosophies have emerged as a promising approach to enhance patient satisfaction following knee replacement. PSA requires a detailed preoperative 3D analysis of the leg geometry as well as precise and accurate intraoperative implementation of the patient-specific planning. Technical support, such as navigation-based or robot-assisted systems, is essential for the success of this complex challenge.
