Principles of Knee Replacement

The orthopedic teaching session is about total knee replacement, presented by Mr. Jehangir Mahaluxmivala, a consultant orthopedic surgeon.

- Mr. Jehangir Mahaluxmivala has special interest in lower limb joint arthroplasty, including revision surgery, and completed his training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore.

- The presentation is interactive, with case discussions and MCQs to test the attendees' focus.

- The mechanical axis of the femur is important in knee replacements because it helps calculate the valgus angle and restore the mechanical axis of the knee.

- The resurfacing of the patella is a setting question with no true marks, and while there is no true patient-reported outcome on whether to resurface or not, the patella is important for quadriceps function.
