IV, retrospective and prospective cohort study.

The lower extremity skeletal landmarks precision relates to the quality of the corresponding 3D reconstructions. Except for tibial rotation, all the translation and rotation parameters were estimated within a mean error margin inferior to 1.2 mm and 1.3 degrees, respectively. Making the reconstruction algorithms more robust would render certain anatomic zones even more precise. Biplanar low-dose EOS X-ray system is a tool of the future to generate 3D knee X-rays that can improve the evaluation and follow-up of total knee arthroplasty patients.

IV, prospective multicenter study.

Acetylcysteine and ischaemic preconditioning do not decrease the extent of rhabdomyolysis related to the use of a pneumatic tourniquet and do not improve the postoperative muscle recovery. On the other hand, they allow a significant reduction in the postoperative morphine consumption.
