Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition affecting the whole joint with the underlying bone, representing a major source of pain, disability, and socioeconomic cost worldwide. Age is considered the strongest risk factor, albeit abnormal biomechanics, morphology, congenital abnormality, deformity, malalignment, limb-length discrepancy, lifestyle, and injury may further increase the risk of the development and progression of osteoarthritis as well. Pain and loss of function are the main clinical features that lead to treatment. Although early manifestations of osteoarthritis are amenable to lifestyle modification, adequate pain management, and physical therapy, disease advancement frequently requires surgical treatment. The symptomatic progression of osteoarthritis with radiographical confirmation can be addressed either with arthroscopic interventions, (joint) preservation techniques, or bone fusion procedures, whereas (joint) replacement is preferentially reserved for severe and end-stage disease. The surgical treatment aims at alleviating pain and disability while restoring native biomechanics. Miscellaneous surgical techniques for addressing osteoarthritis exist. Advanced computer-integrated surgical concepts allow for patient personalization and optimization of surgical treatment. The scope of this article is to present an overview of the fundamentals of conventional surgical treatment options for osteoarthritis of the human skeleton, with emphasis on arthroscopy, preservation, arthrodesis, and replacement. Contemporary computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery concepts are further elucidated.

Introduction: The role of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been widely discussed in the orthopedic literature. It has been suggested that PCLretaining can produce femoral rollback, which increases the range of exion and prevents posterior translation. This in effect, reduces loosening and excessive polyethylene wear by decreasing the shear stresses at the xation surfaces. With consideration proper selection of patients, adequate attention to surgical technique and asepsis, proper Intra-operative soft tissue balancing, correct alignment of prosthesis and postoperative rehabilitation of patients, cruciate retaining total knee replacement has yielded excellent results Aim: The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinic-radiological outcome of PCL retaining total knee arthroplasty in severe varus deformity Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study in which patients were randomly selected, and PCL retaining surgery was done for those knees with severe varus deformity and assessed the functional outcome using functional knee scores and oxford knee score and WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) questionnaires during the period between July 2016 to June 2018. Conclusion: PCL-retaining total knee arthroplasty appears to provide better range of motion and stair-climbing ability similar to anatomical knee.
