Introduction

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a complex procedure that can be quite challenging to perform successfully. The key to successful TKR is balanced gap alignment and deformity correction. Traditionally, surgeons have used spacer blocks to estimate the correction of deformity and joint balance during TKR. But do these spacer blocks provide an accurate estimate? Dr. Anoop Jhurani, MD, Ph.D. has been researching this question for many years and has published several studies on the subject. In this blog post, we will examine his findings and explore how spacer blocks compare to other methods of obtaining pre-operative estimates of deformity correction and gap balance in TKR surgery.

Dr. Jhurani has written and published several research articles.

Dr. Jhurani has written and published several research articles on the accuracy of spacer blocks in estimating deformity correction and gap balance in total knee Replacement. His research has shown that spacer blocks are a reliable and accurate tool for estimating these parameters.

Dr. Anoop Jhurani is a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon and researcher. He has dedicated his career to studying and improving the outcomes of total knee Replacement (TKR). In particular, he has conducted extensive research on the use of spacer blocks in TKR.

Spacer blocks are commonly used in TKR to estimate the amount of deformity correction that is required. However, there is significant variability in the accuracy of spacer blocks. This can lead to inaccuracies in deformity correction and gap balance, which can ultimately impact the clinical outcomes of TKR.
