Bi‐cruciate retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) design preserves both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments with the potential to restore normal posterior femoral rollback and joint kinematics. Abnormal knee kinematics and “paradoxical” anterior femoral translation in conventional TKA designs have been suggested as potential causes of patient dissatisfaction. However, there is a paucity of data on the in vivo kinematics and articular contact behavior of BCR‐TKA. This study aimed to investigate in vivo kinematics, articular contact position, and pivot point location of the BCR‐TKA during gait. In vivo kinematics of 30 patients with unilateral BCR‐TKA during treadmill walking was determined using validated dual fluoroscopic imaging tracking technique. The BCR‐TKA exhibited less extension than the normal healthy knee between heel strike and 48% of gait cycle. Although the average external rotation trend observed for BCR TKA was similar to the normal healthy knee, the range of motion was not fully comparable. The lowest point of the medial condyle showed longer anteroposterior translation excursion than the lateral condyle, leading to a lateral‐pivoting pattern in 60% of BCR TKA patients during stance phase. BCR‐TKA demonstrated no statistical significant differences in anterior–posterior translation as well as varus rotation, when compared to normal healthy knees during the stance phase. However, sagittal plane motion and tibiofemoral articular contact characteristics including pivoting patterns were not fully restored in BCR TKA patients during gait, suggesting that BCR TKA does not restore native tibiofemoral articular contact kinematics. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and change in perception of physical discomfort, including musculoskeletal discomfort, during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine associations of demographic factors, telework activity, and home office characteristics with the highest prevalence of discomfort. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced a substantial increase in telework in many countries. The sudden change from a regular workplace to an improvised “home office” may have an impact on working conditions and physical symptoms of office workers. However, investigations in this area remain limited. Method: A cross-sectional study design was used to compare self-reported complaints of physical discomfort perceived from before with those during the pandemic. Associations between complaints and home office characteristics were investigated from 150 faculty and 51 administrative staff of an academic institution with an age range of 41.16 ± 10.20 (59% female). Results: A significant increase of physical discomfort was found during the pandemic period for head, eyes, hand, and upper back for both staff and faculty and neck, shoulders, elbows, and lower back for faculty only. Logistic regression analyses point to associations with the lack of a laptop stand, uncomfortable desk, poor lighting, and sitting time, among others. Conclusion: A high prevalence of physical discomfort was reported by teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some home office characteristics were associated with these discomforts. Application: Some telework characteristics seem to be risk factors for physical discomfort. Consideration should be given to teaching best practices for workstation setup and/or conducting other preventive interventions in the work environment.
