• Better survival of hybrid total knee arthroplasty compared to cemented arthroplasty. 

      Petursson, Gunnar; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Havelin, Leif Ivar; Gøthesen, Øystein; Lygre, Stein Håkon Låstad; Röhrl, Stephan Maximillian; Furnes, Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Background and purpose — There have been few comparative studies on total knee replacement (TKR) with cemented tibia and uncemented femur (hybrid TKR). Previous studies have not shown any difference in revision rate between ...
    • Computerized navigation: A useful tool in total knee replacement. 

      Gøthesen, Øystein; Skåden, Øystein; Dyrhovden, Gro Sævik; Petursson, Gunnar; Furnes, Ove (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: The purpose of computer assistance in a total knee replacement is to achieve optimal alignment, size, and positioning of the implant. The method is safe and accurate and may be particularly useful in cases ...
    • Decreased survival of medial pivot designs compared with cruciate-retaining designs in TKA without patellar resurfacing. 

      Øhrn, Frank-David; Gøthesen, Øystein; Lygre, Stein Håkon Låstad; Peng, Yi; Lian, Øystein Bjerkestrand; Lewis, Peter L; Furnes, Ove; Röhrl, Stephan Maximillian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background The medial pivot TKA design was introduced in the 1990s. These are fixed-bearing, medial-conforming implants with virtually no translation in the medial part of the knee, in contrast to the flat lateral part ...
    • Early aseptic loosening of a mobile-bearing total knee replacement 

      Kutzner, Ines; Halland, Geir; Høl, Paul Johan; Furnes, Ove; Gøthesen, Øystein; Figved, Wender; Ellison, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Background and purpose - Registry-based studies have reported an increased risk of aseptic tibial loosening for the cemented Low Contact Stress (LCS) total knee replacement compared with other cemented designs; however, ...
    • Similar migration in computer-assisted and conventional total knee arthroplasty 

      Petursson, Gunnar; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Gøthesen, Øystein; Haugan, Kristin; Dyrhovden, Gro Sævik; Halland, Geir; Röhrl, Stephan Maximillian; Aamodt, Arild; Nilsson, Kjell G.; Furnes, Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Background and purpose — Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been used in recent years in the hope of improving the alignment and positioning of the implant, thereby achieving a better ...
