From a radiographic survey of Japanese knee patients, the South East Asia Pacific (SEAP) total knee prosthesis and surgical instruments were designed for the needs of somewhat smaller patients in Japan and other Oriental countries. The SEAP total knee arthroplasty has been performed in 43 cases, on 67 joints, and follow-up study was made by a clinical knee scoring system and radiological and joint biomechanical evaluation. Furthermore, the joint tension meter was developed to measure soft tissue tension for knee replacement surgery. |
