Abstract
Purpose According to a previous study, asymmetrical kneeling, such as sitting sideways, does not exhibit asymmetrical movements. Rotational analyses of each femur and tibia help explain why rotational knee kinematics while sitting sideways do not exhibit asymmetrical movement. We aimed to assess the rotation of the femur and tibia in normal knees while sitting sideways. Methods Each volunteer sat sideways under fluoroscopy. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional registration techniques were used. After evaluating the femoral rotation angle relative to the tibia at each flexion angle, the femoral and tibial sole rotation angles at each flexion angle were compared between the ipsilateral and contralateral knees. Results While sitting sideways, both knees showed femoral external rotation relative to the tibia with flexion. In the ipsilateral knees, the femurs exhibited an external rotation of 26.3 ± 8.0°, from 110° to 150° of flexion. Conversely, the tibia exhibited an external rotation of 12.2 ± 7.8°, from 110° to 150° of flexion. From 110° to 150° of flexion, femoral external rotation was significantly larger than tibial external rotation. In the contralateral knees, the femurs exhibited an internal rotation of 23.8 ± 6.3°, from 110° to 150° of flexion (110°, p < 0.001; 120°, p < 0.001; 130°, p < 0.001; 140°, p < 0.001; and 150°, p < 0.001). Contrastingly, the tibia exhibited an internal rotation of 30.4 ± 8.8°, from 110° to 150° of flexion, which was significantly larger than femoral internal rotation (110°, p = 0.002; 120°, p < 0.001; 130°, p < 0.001; 140°, p < 0.001; and 150°, p < 0.001). Conclusions Although bilateral knees exhibited femoral external rotation relative to the tibia while sitting sideways, the ipsilateral and contralateral knees showed femoral and tibial sole rotations in opposite directions. In particular, the contralateral knees might show a strained movement because both femurs and tibias exhibited internal rotation with flexion. Patients who have undergone guided-motion total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or medial-pivot TKAs might be advised to avoid sitting sideways.

Abstract
Robotic surgery has expanded globally across various medical specialties since its inception more than 20 years ago. Accompanying this expansion were significant technological improvements, providing tremendous benefits to patients and allowing the surgeon to perform with more precision and accuracy. This review lists some of the different types of platforms available for use in various clinical applications. We performed a literature review of PubMed and Web of Science databases in May 2023, searching for all available articles describing surgical robotic platforms from January 2000 (the year of the first approved surgical robot, da Vinci® System, by Intuitive Surgical) until May 1st, 2023. All retrieved robotic platforms were then divided according to their clinical application into four distinct groups: soft tissue robotic platforms, orthopedic robotic platforms, neurosurgery and spine platforms, and endoluminal robotic platforms. Robotic surgical technology has undergone a rapid expansion over the last few years. Currently, multiple robotic platforms with specialty-specific applications are entering the market. Many of the fields of surgery are now embracing robotic surgical technology. We review some of the most important systems in clinical practice at this time.

Abstract
Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty implants are designed to function in a similar manner to that of the native knee with a relatively fixed medial center of rotation and a less conforming lateral compartment that follows an arcuate path. Medial pivot implants in total knee arthroplasty have increased in popularity with many companies offering medial pivot or retrofitted medial congruent implants, and there are variations between the various medial pivot and medial congruent implants. Existing literature on medial pivot implants have demonstrated high survivorship and patient outcomes. More studies are needed to compare newer medial pivot implants with each other and with retrofitted medial congruent implants.

Arthroplast Today 2023; 24:101239. [PMID: 37964917 PMCID: PMC10641080 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2023.101239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) is a 12-question patient-reported outcomes measure created to measure a patient's awareness of their artificial joint. The FJS has attained wide usage, though it is not without weaknesses. Our patients report that the semantics of the English translation are flawed and that the 5 answer options for each question are poorly differentiated. Additionally, the FJS will result in no score if 3 or more questions are unanswered. This prompted the development of an alternative patient-reported outcomes measure, the Joint Awareness Score (JAS), that builds upon the core concept of joint awareness underlying the FJS, but that is easier to understand and shorter to complete. We completed an exploratory, pilot study to evaluate this outcomes instrument. Our hypothesis is that the JAS will correlate strongly with the FJS and could be used as a substitute. Methods Knee arthroplasty patients in a prospective registry were administered the FJS and the JAS. Internal consistency and correlation were calculated with Cronbach's alpha and Pearson's correlation coefficient, respectively. Results This study included 174 patients. Cronbach's alpha for FJS was 0.97 for 6 months and 0.97 for 12 months, whereas JAS was 0.89 at 6 months and 0.85 at 12 months. Pearson correlation comparing FJS and JAS at 6 months was 0.88 (95% confidence interval: 0.83, 0.92) and 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.78, 0.92) at 12 months. Conclusions The Joint Awareness Score is a new patient-reported outcomes measure that is a substitute for the FJS, with half the number of questions, improved semantics, and simplified answers.

Equivalence of clinical and radiological outcomes in cruciate-retaining and cruciate-substituting total knee arthroplasty with medial pivot knee: A comparative study. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22741. [PMID: 38213584 PMCID: PMC10782168 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been recognized as the most efficacious surgical intervention for individuals suffering from advanced arthritis; however, there is ongoing debate on the technical details of the procedure. It remains unknown whether preservation of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) significantly affects the mid-to long-term performance of ADVANCE® medial-pivotal (AMP) knee implants to enhance patient satisfaction. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate whether the preservation of the PCL has a substantial impact on the functional outcomes of medial pivot (MP) implants in patients undergoing TKA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes of cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (CS) TKA using MP prostheses. Methods We included 376 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral TKA between January 2011 and April 2014. Follow-up evaluations were conducted in April 2021. After propensity score matching analysis, clinical and radiological outcomes and complication rates were compared between patients in the CR and CS groups. Results The postoperative outcomes in the two groups significantly improved the preoperative conditions of the patients (all p > 0.05). The postoperative outcomes (WOMAC score, p = 0.517; KSS, p = 0.107; KSFS, p = 0.240; ROM, p = 0.795; FJS, p = 0.822) and radiographic outcomes (preoperative FTA, p = 0.997; postoperative FTA, p = 0.646; aLDFA, p = 0.094; aMPTA, p = 0.970; PTS, p = 0.243) were comparable between the two groups. The complication and revision rates between the groups were not statistically significant (p = 0.34). The Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival of patients in the CRTKA and CSTKA groups was 100 % and 98.6 %, respectively. Conclusions This study supports the hypothesis that when MP prostheses are used, both CR and CS procedures achieve equally good mid-to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes and complication rates. These findings suggest that PCL preservation may not significantly affect the overall performance of MP implants in patients undergoing TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies comparing outcomes in patients with posterior cruciate ligament-sacrificing single-radius (SR) versus medial-stabilized (MS) knee devices. Both types of implants are designed to maximize deep-flexion and to maintain stability throughout the knee flexion arc. The aim of this study was to determine whether two-year outcomes differ between these two implant groups. METHODS Two-hundred and ten patients took part in this retrospective cohort single center study. The SR patients (n = 109) were enrolled in one randomized trial, and the MS knees (n = 101) in another. Patient consent and Investigative Review Board approval was obtained. Radiographs and clinical outcomes were gathered preoperatively and at six weeks, six months, one year and two years. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups in terms of preoperative demographic characteristics. The MS group had significantly better knee flexion starting at six months postoperative through two years postoperatively (p < 0.05 - p< 0.001). The Knee Society Pain/Motion score was better in the MS group at one year (95.41 vs 90.86, p < 0.002). The Knee Society Pain score was also better in the MS group starting at six weeks through one year (six weeks: 35.3 vs 30, p = 0.007; one year: 46.4 vs 42.4, p = 0.005, respectively). CONCLUSION The MS group had better clinical outcomes than the SR group, with significantly greater knee flexion from six months through two years, better Knee Society Pain scores at six weeks through one year, and higher Knee Society Pain/Motion scores at six weeks and one year postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The newly-designed alumina ceramic medial pivot total knee prosthesis was introduced to reduce polyethylene wear and better fit the anatomical morphology of the Asian population. This study aimed to clarify the long-term clinical results of alumina medial pivot total knee arthroplasty over a minimum follow-up period of 10 years. METHODS The data of 135 consecutive patients who underwent primary alumina medial pivot total knee arthroplasty were analyzed in this retrospective cohort study. Patients were examined over a minimum 10-year follow-up period. The knee range of motion, Knee Society Score (KSS) knee score, Knee Society Score function score, and radiological parameters were assessed. The survival rate was also evaluated by using reoperation and revision as endpoints. RESULTS The mean follow-up period lasted 11.8 ± 1.4 years. Patients who were not followed accounted for 7.4% of the total cohort. Knee and function scores of KSS improved significantly following total knee arthroplasty (P < 0.001). In 27 individuals (28.1%), a radiolucent line was observed. Aseptic loosening occurred in three cases (3.1%). The survival rates for reoperation and revision were 94.8% and 95.8% 10 years after the operation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS During a minimum 10-year follow-up period, the present model of alumina medial pivot total knee arthroplasty showed good clinical outcomes and survival rates.

Abstract
UPDATE This article was updated on January 4, 2023, because of a previous error, which was discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. On page 16, in Figure 5, the x-axis that had read "P<0.0086" now reads "KSS Pain (p=0.02)," and the value for the MS group that had read "48.9" now reads "48.8."This article was updated on January 6, 2022, because of a previous error. On page 13, in the section entitled "Results," the sentence that had read "However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the MS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008)." now reads "However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the PS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008)." BACKGROUND Stability in mid-flexion is important for satisfactory clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the present study was to compare the anteroposterior stability of knees that had been treated with a posterior-stabilized (PS) device or a medial-stabilized (MS) device. We hypothesized that mid-flexion laxity would be greater in the PS group and that clinical outcome scores would be better for the group with lower laxity. METHODS Sixty-three patients who had been randomly selected from a larger randomized, prospective, blinded clinical trial underwent primary TKA with either a PS implant (n = 30) or an MS implant (n = 33). Range of motion, the Knee Society Score (KSS), and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were collected, and anteroposterior laxity with the knee in 45° and 90° of flexion was evaluated with stress radiographs. RESULTS In 45° of flexion, the MS group demonstrated significantly less total anteroposterior displacement than the PS group (mean, 3.6 versus 16.5 mm; p ≤ 0.0001). In 90° of flexion, the total anteroposterior displacement was not significantly different for the 2 groups when both male and female patients were included (mean, 3.9 versus 5.9; p = 0.07). However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the PS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008). The groups did not differ significantly in terms of preoperative age, body mass index, sex distribution, FJS, KSS, or range of motion, and they also did not differ in terms of postoperative FJS or range of motion. However, all 33 patients in the MS group returned to sports as indicated in question 12 of the FJS, compared with 19 subjects in the PS group (p = 0.0001). The postoperative KSS Pain, Pain/Motion, and Function scores were all significantly higher in the MS group than the PS; specifically, the mean KSS Pain score was 48.8 in the MS group, compared with 44.8 in the PS group (p = 0.02); the mean KSS Pain/Motion score was 98.4 in the MS group, compared with 89.5 in the PS group (p < 0.0001); and the mean KSS Function score was 95.5 in the MS group, compared with 85.7 in the PS group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Mid-flexion laxity was greater in patients with PS implants than in those with MS implants, and laxity in 90° was greater in the subset of female patients in the PS group. The decreased laxity observed in the MS group correlated with higher KSS Pain, Pain/Motion, and Function scores as well as with a higher rate of return to sports activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vivo three-dimensional (3D) motion under weight-bearing conditions was analyzed postoperatively in medial pivot cruciate-substituting (CS) knee systems with fixed and mobile inserts. METHODS Tibiofemoral knee kinematics during squatting were captured with X-ray fluoroscopy for 4 patients in each cohort. The 3D motion of implants was analyzed with KneeMotion motion analysis software (LEXI Corporation; Tokyo, Japan). In addition, anterior-posterior (AP) movement of the distal-most points and the angle of axial rotation of the femoral component on the tibial component were assessed in both cohorts. RESULTS Mean AP movement of the femoral component on the tibial component was 3.8±0.5 mm on the medial side and 9.5±0.5 mm on the lateral side in the cohort with fixed prostheses and 5.9±2.1 mm on the medial side and 10.0±2.5 mm on the lateral side in the cohort with mobile prostheses. The mean angle of axial rotation of the femoral component on the tibial component was 14.4±1.1 degrees and 8.2±2.7 degrees of external rotation for fixed knees and mobile knees, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative motion analysis confirmed that fixed and mobile CS implants, which have a similar design, guided medial pivot motion under weight-bearing conditions. However, motion differed between these implant types after mid-flexion: bicondylar rollback after medial pivot motion was noted in the mobile cohort.

METHODS This prospective, multicentre cohort study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent rotating-platform posterior-stabilised (PS) TKA (Vanguard PSRP). After excluding dropouts, 93 patients were analysed. The objective Knee Society Score (KSS)-2011, subjective KSS-2011, knee range of motion, EuroQol 5 Dimension index, complications, and survival rates were assessed before TKA and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. The scores at each time-point were compared, and the survival rate was assessed with revision as the endpoint. To demonstrate non-inferiority, the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent rotating-platform PS TKA were compared with those collected retrospectively from 50 patients who underwent fixed-PS TKA (Vanguard PS), defined as the control group. RESULTS All clinical outcomes at the final follow up significantly improved compared with their preoperative values (P < 0.001). The objective KSS-2011 was 90.0 ± 8.2 points, subjective KSS-2011 satisfaction was 30.7 ± 8.6 points, expectation was 10.4 ± 2.1 points, and functional activity was 74.0 ± 18.5 points at 2 years postoperatively. Complications included knee dislocation in one patient and surgical site infection in one patient. The survival rate was 99% at 2 years postoperatively. Clinical outcomes, complications, and survival rates of newly designed TKA were not statistically different compared with the control group. CONCLUSION The newly designed rotating-platform PS TKA showed good clinical results and suitable safety during the early postoperative phase in this prospective multicentre cohort study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus whether a posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee device is superior to a more congruent, cruciate-substituting, medial-stabilized device (MS). This study compared the clinical outcomes of these devices. The primary hypothesis was that the clinical outcomes would be better in the MS group implanted with kinematic alignment. METHODS This prospective, randomized, single-center Level 1 study compared the outcomes of 99 patients who received a PS device and 101 patients who received an MS device implanted with kinematic alignment. Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent were obtained. Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed preoperatively, 6 weeks, 6 months, and annually. RESULTS All subjects reached the minimum follow-up of 2 years. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics, preoperative scores, or alignment (preoperative or postoperative). Tourniquet time was 7.24% longer for the PS group (40.28 min vs 37.56 min, P < .0086). There were significant differences between groups for the 1-year and 2-year Knee Society scores, Forgotten Joint Score, and ROM; in every case favoring the MS group. The FJS was 68.3 in the MS group at 2 years and 58.3 in the PS group (P = .02). The maximum flexion at 2 years was 132° in the MS group and 124° in the PS group (P < .0001). CONCLUSION The clinical outcomes of the MS group at 1 and 2 years were better. At the minimum 2-year follow-up, the results demonstrate the superiority of the medial-stabilized device in terms of multiple clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I.

Comparison of postoperative knee flexion and patient satisfaction between newly and conventionally designed medial pivot total knee arthroplasty: a 5-year follow-up matched cohort study. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:2057-2064. [PMID: 34390387 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04121-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The medial pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has good patients' satisfaction; however, there is likely the restriction of postoperative knee flexion. The 2nd generation medial pivot TKA prosthesis was designed to improve postoperative knee flexion. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction between the 2nd generation and 1st generation medial pivot TKA prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 472 consecutive TKAs, performed using either the 2nd generation (EVOLUTION™), having smaller posterior femoral condyle and asymmetrical tibial tray, or 1st generation (ADVANCE™) prosthesis. The use of each system was historically determined. Patient age, sex and body mass index were matched between the two groups, with 157 cases ultimately included in each group. Measured clinical outcomes included: knee range of motion, the Knee Society Score, the rate of re-operation, and radiological parameters. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using the 12-item Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12). RESULTS The average follow-up period was 5.0 (3.7-6.3) years for the 2nd generation group and 8.7 (6.1-12.8) years for the 1st generation group (p < 0.01). The postoperative knee flexion range was 127° (80°-140°) for the 2nd generation and 118° (90°-135°) for the 1st generation at final follow-up (p < 0.01). On multivariate regression analysis, use of the 2nd generation prosthesis predicted greater postoperative knee flexion. The average FJS-12 score was 64 (0-100) for the 2nd generation and mean 57 (0-100) for the 1st generation (p < 0.01). Other clinical outcomes were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the 1st generation, the 2nd generation medial pivot prosthesis provides greater postoperative knee flexion and patient satisfaction.

Evaluation of double-high insert mid-term outcomes in cruciate-retaining medial-pivotal total knee arthroplasty - a propensity score-matched analysis with averaged 8-year follow-up. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:571.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes between medial-pivotal (MP) insert and double-high (DH) insert used under the cruciate-retaining condition in ADVANCE® total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS The follow-up was conducted for 158 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral ADVANCE® TKA from January 2011 to April 2014. Eighty-four MP inserts and 74 DH inserts were used under cruciate-retaining conditions. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed between MP inserts and DH inserts to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes. RESULTS After a 1:1 PSM, 120 patients (60 pairs) were matched between the MP and DH inserts groups. The baseline demographic parameters and clinical scores were comparable between the two groups. The postoperative clinical outcomes at an averaged 8-year follow-up of both groups were significantly improved. The range of motion (ROM) of the DH group was better than that of the MP group, and equivalent Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) between the two groups was found. However, the Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) of the MP group were found to be significantly superior to those of the DH group. Comparable complication and revision rates were observed between the two groups. The radiographic results were also equally good between MP and DH groups. CONCLUSIONS Although the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the DH inserts are fairly good, the clinical scores of the DH group were worse than those of the MP group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial-pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is designed with high articular conformity in the medial compartment in order to achieve stability. The subjective outcome of patients has been reported to be good postoperatively; however, the association between the objective and subjective knee stability and the influence of subjective stability on the overall outcomes of TKA remained unknown. Our hypothesis was that postoperative flexion joint-gap imbalance could affect subjective knee instability following TKA in medial-pivot prostheses. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between the joint gap in flexion and subjective knee instability and between subjective knee instability and outcomes following medial-pivot TKA. METHODS A total of 769 patients who underwent primary TKA with use of medial-pivot prostheses were enrolled. Clinical outcomes included knee range of motion, Knee Society Score-2011 (KSS-2011), Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), patient-reported subjective knee instability, and axial knee radiography to assess flexion joint-gap balance measured at the final follow-up. Clinical outcomes were compared between patients with and without subjective knee instability. Moreover, associated factors were analyzed for postoperative subjective knee instability. RESULTS Overall, 177 patients (23%) reported experiencing postoperative subjective knee instability. Knee flexion (p = 0.04); KSS-2011 symptom (p<0.001), satisfaction (p<0.001), expectation (p=0.008), and activity (p<0.001) subscales; and FJS-12 (p < 0.001) were significantly worse in patients with subjective knee instability. The KSS-2011 subjective score differences were greater than the minimal clinically important difference. Older age at the time of surgery (odds ratio, 1.04; p = 0.04) and a wider postoperative joint gap in flexion on the medial side (odds ratio, 1.21; p = 0.001) were significant risk factors for subjective knee instability. A gap angle of -2.9° (i.e., medial laxity) was the threshold to predict postoperative knee instability (sensitivity, 0.29; specificity, 0.91). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative flexion joint-gap laxity on the medial side following medial-pivot TKA affected the patient-reported subjective knee instability scores. Postoperative KSS-2011 subjective scores following medial-pivot TKA were poorer in patients with subjective knee instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There have been many attempts to use variations in tibial polyethylene design to better recreate normal knee kinematics in the total knee arthroplasty. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the various types of tibial inserts that exist and review the theoretical mechanics versus what was demonstrated in vivo. RECENT FINDINGS Many polyethylene inserts have been attempted to re-create normal knee kinematics, but none have been able to successfully do so. Previously the only two types of inserts were posterior stabilized (PS) and cruciate retaining (CR) polyethylene inserts. Both of these have shown excellent long-term survival but neither has demonstrated native kinematics. Initially, it was thought that retention of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) would allow for more native kinematics, but fluoroscopic evidence has shown that the PCL alone cannot accomplish this. Newer inserts try to restore femoral roll back and the screw home mechanism. The bicruciate retaining total knee inserts are having the most "normal" kinematics, suggesting the importance of both the ACL and PCL in knee biomechanics. Modern polyethylene inserts show favorable short-term data with bicruciate retaining inserts having the best kinematics; however, long-term studies are still needed to determine if survivorship and patient outcomes remain favorable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to clarify differences in clinical results, including in patients' joint awareness, between cruciate-substituting (CS) and cruciate-retaining (CR) medial pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over a 10-year follow-up. METHODS A total of 333 TKAs were included in this study. There were 257 cases of CS and 76 cases of CR TKAs. Knee range of motion, Knee Society Score, and radiological outcomes were assessed. The patients' joint awareness was evaluated using the Forgotten Joint Score-12 at the final follow-up. The survival rate with respect to reoperation or revision was analyzed. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 10 ± 1.7 years, and the loss to follow-up was 5.4%. All clinical outcomes improved significantly after surgery in both groups (P < .001). Postoperative knee flexion was 118° ± 13° in the CS group and 116° ± 10° in the CR group (P = .10). The mean Forgotten Joint Score-12 scores were 57 ± 27 points in the CS group and 56 ± 28 points in the CR group (P = .59). Ten years after the operation, the survival rates for reoperation were 96.3% in the CS group and 94.2% in the CR group (P = .61), and those for revision were 98.4% and 98.7% in the CS and CR groups, respectively (P = .87). Other postoperative clinical results did not differ between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION In this 10-year follow-up study, medial pivot TKA, regardless of polyethylene insert type, showed a high survival rate and good patient awareness of the prosthetic joint.

Abstract
Background Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty aims to restore native knee kinematics through highly conforming medial tibiofemoral articulation with survival comparable to contemporary knee designs. The aim of this study was to report preliminary clinical results of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty in an Indian population. Methods A retrospective analysis of 45 patients (average age, 62 years; 40 women and 5 men) with end-stage arthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 4) operated with a medial pivot prosthesis was done. All patients were assessed using Knee Society Score (satisfaction, expectation, and functional scores) and Oxford Knee Score, and range of motion was recorded at the end of 5-year postoperative follow-up. In addition, all patients underwent standardized radiological assessment. Results At the final follow-up, patients reported significant improvement in mean Knee Society Score (satisfaction, expectation, and functional scores) and Oxford Knee Score (p < 0.05). The mean range of motion achieved at the end of 5 years ranged from 0° (extension) to 118.4° (further flexion). There was no evidence of loosening or osteolysis at a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Conclusions These results demonstrated satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes at 5 years after total knee arthroplasty with a medial pivot design, which may be related to better replication of natural knee kinematics with the medial pivot knee and inherent advantages of this design.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical and patient-reported outcome measures of medially stabilised (MS) TKA when compared to other TKA designs. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses algorithm was used. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and EMCARE databases were searched to June 2020. Studies with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up comparing an MS TKA design to any other TKA design were included. The statistical analysis was completed using Review Manager (RevMan), Version 5.3. RESULTS The 22 studies meeting the inclusion criteria included 3011 patients and 4102 TKAs. Overall Oxford Knee Scores were significantly better (p = 0.0007) for MS TKA, but there was no difference in the Forgotten Joint Scores (FJS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Society Score (KSS)-Knee, KSS-Function, and range of motion between MS and non-MS TKA designs. Significant differences were noted for sub-group analyses; MS TKA showed significantly worse KSS-Knee (p = 0.02) and WOMAC (p = 0.03) scores when compared to Rotating Platform (RP) TKA while significantly better FJS (p = 0.002) and KSS-knee scores (p = 0.0001) when compared to cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA. CONCLUSION This review and meta-analysis show that MS TKA designs result in both patient and clinical outcomes that are comparable to non-MS implants. These results suggest implant design alone may not provide further improvement in patient outcome following TKA, surgeons must consider other factors, such as alignment to achieve superior outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty is a reliable procedure able to reduce pain and disability in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. However, a considerable percentage of patients still experiences unsatisfactory results. Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty has been introduced in the clinical practice to overcome problems related with classic design implants and better mimic native knee kinematics. The aim of this study was to analyze survivorship and clinical and radiographic outcomes of medial pivot implants. METHODS A systematic research was conducted in eight different databases. Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Data on objective and patients-reported outcomes, radiographic alignment, and survivorship were collected and analyzed. Revision rate was expressed as revision per 100 components years. RESULT A total of 3377 procedures were included. Mean follow-up was 85.7 months (range, 12-182). The revision per 100 components years was 0.19, which corresponds to a revision rate of 1.9% after 10 years. Mean post-operative range of motion was 117.3 ± 0.4°. Mean clinical and functional Knee Society Score were, respectively, 85.9 ± 1.1 and 84.7 ± 3.5 at final follow-up. Post-operative femorotibial alignment was 177.1 ± 0.5°. Alfa and beta angles were 95.7 ± 0.1° and 89.2 ± 0.1°, respectively. Gamma and delta angles were 2.3 ± 0.6° and 86.7 ± 0.4°. CONCLUSION Medial pivoting implants provided excellent survivorship and low revision rate, as well as good-to-excellent results in term of objective and patient-reported clinical outcomes, and reliable correction of radiographic parameters. More high-quality studies with long-term follow-up are needed to clarify the role of medial pivoting implants.

Abstract
In the current literature, there is no consensus as to whether the medial pivot (MP) or posterior-stabilised (PS) knee provides the best result for the patient in the context of post-operative range of motion (ROM) and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). The aim of this systematic review is to provide this equipoise with some clarity. We conducted this study following both the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Statement (PRISMA) and the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Studies comparing the MP and PS knees from all regions and written in any language were included. Twenty- one studies were included in this meta-analysis. They were prepared and analysed using Review Manager V5.0 [Computer Program] (RevMan5). We calculated the risk ratio to measure the treatment effect, taking the heterogeneity of the studies into consideration. Random-effect models were also utilised. MP knees were found to have a significant advantage over PS knees in terms of WOMAC score at the midterm follow up, and insignificant advantages over PS knees in terms of ROM and FJS at one and two years follow- up. Additionally, the PS knees demonstrated an in significantly higher Knee Society Score (KSS) at short and midterm follow up. In terms of ROM, KSS, OKS and FJS this meta-analysis suggests a non-significant advantages for the MP knee compared with the PS prothesis in the short term. The MP implant also showed a significantly superior WOMAC score at short-term follow-up. An extended follow-up period is required to evaluate whether the MP knee is superior than the PS in the long-term.

[PMID: 34652515 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04173-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Technology that enables the orthopaedic surgeon to deliver a surgical plan with precision and reproducibility continues to evolve. Robotic TKA represents the next phase of technological development in knee arthroplasty. Multiple propriety robotic platforms are now available for use in TKA, and one such system is the OMNIBotics platform. We conducted a review of this system, reporting its history and principles of use, published outcomes and our own personal experience performing OMNI robotic-assisted TKAs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines. Thirteen papers were included for the final review. RESULTS The OMNIBot is an accurate and consistent delivery tool in TKA surgery and compares favourably to instrumented, navigation-assisted and patient-specific cutting guides. The OMNIBot has been shown to be a reliable tool for delivering different alignment philosophies as well as planning and achieving tibio-femoral coronal balancing. The utility of the system is increased when the robot is used in conjunction with a soft-tissue tensioning device-the BalanceBot. Data regarding PROM's are limited, however results to date show reliable outcomes. Survival analysis of RATKA using the OMNIBot is limited to one study which reported 99.26% survivorship at 3 years. We report our own outcomes using the OMNIBot, having performed 766 TKA's using the OMNIBot, since 2014 with 99.48% survivorship at 6 year follow-up. CONCLUSION The OMNIBot platform is an imageless, passive robotic system available since 2007, with over 30,000 TKA's being performed with its assistance. It has a small physical footprint, is relatively inexpensive and time efficient. Our review demonstrates a high level of precision of the surgical planning, with a modestly improved accuracy compared to conventional and navigation technology. Published outcomes are limited, however demonstrate good short-term PROM's and survivorship data that compare favourably to other robotic TKA cohorts.

Superior patient satisfaction in medial pivot as compared to posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty: a prospective randomized study. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2021; 29:3633-3640. [PMID: 33155090 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-020-06343-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Medial pivot (MP) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore native knee kinematics due to highly conforming medial tibio-femoral articulation with survival comparable to contemporary knee designs. Posterior stabilized (PS) TKAs use cam-post mechanism to restore native femoral rollback. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the reported patient satisfaction with MP TKA designs when compared to PS TKAs. The primary aim of this study is to compare the patient satisfaction between MP and PS TKA and the secondary aim is to establish potential reasons behind any differences in the outcomes noted between these two design philosophies. METHODS In this IRB-approved single surgeon, single centre prospective RCT, 53 patients (mean age 62 years, 42 women) with comparable bilateral end-stage knee arthritis undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA were randomized to receive MP TKA in one knee and PS TKA in the contralateral knee. At 4 years post-surgery, all patients were assessed using Knee Society Score (KSS)-Satisfaction and -Expectation scores, and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). In addition, all the patients underwent standardized radiological and in vivo kinematic assessment. RESULTS Patients were more satisfied with the MP TKA as compared to PS TKA: mean KSS-Satisfaction [34.5 ± 3.05 in MP and 31.7 ± 3.16 in PS TKAs (p < 0.0001)] and mean KSS-Expectation scores [12.5 ± 1.39 in MP TKAs and 11.2 ± 1.41 in PS TKAs (p < 0.0001)]. No significant difference was noted in any other clinical outcomes. The in vivo kinematics of MP TKAs was significantly better than those of PS TKAs. CONCLUSION MP TKAs provide superior patient satisfaction and patient expectations as compared to PS TKA. This may be related to better replication of natural knee kinematics with MP TKA.

Abstract
Aims Medial pivot (MP) total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were designed to mimic native knee kinematics with their deep medial congruent fitting of the tibia to the femur almost like a ball-on-socket, and a flat lateral part. GMK Sphere is a novel MP implant. Our primary aim was to study the migration pattern of the tibial tray of this TKA. Methods A total of 31 patients were recruited to this single-group radiostereometric analysis (RSA) study and received a medial pivot GMK Sphere TKA. The distributions of male patients versus female patients and right versus left knees were 21:10 and 17:14, respectively. Mean BMI was 29 kg/m2 (95% confidence interval (CI) 27 to 30) and mean age at surgery was 63 years (95% CI 61 to 66). Maximum total point motions (MTPMs), medial, proximal, and anterior translations and transversal, internal, and varus rotations were calculated at three, 12, and 24 months. Patient-reported outcome measure data were also retrieved. Results MTPMs at three, 12, and 24 months were 1.0 mm (95% CI 0.8 to 1.2), 1.3 mm (95% CI 0.9 to 1.7), and 1.4 mm (0.8 to 2.0), respectively. The Forgotten Joint Score was 79 (95% CI 39 to 95) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score obtained at two years was 94 (95% CI 81 to 100), 86 (95% CI 75 to 93), 94 (95% CI 88 to 100), 69 (95% CI 48 to 88), and 81 (95% CI59 to 100) for Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sport & Recreation, and Quality of Life, respectively. Conclusion In conclusion, we found that the mean increase in MTPM was lower than 0.2 mm between 12 and 24 months and thus apparently stable. Yet the GMK Sphere had higher migration at one and two years than anticipated. Based on current RSA data, we therefore cannot conclude on the long-term performance of the implant, pending further assessment. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(9):737–744.

Abstract
Over the last three decades, there have been significant advancements in knee and hip replacement technology. The implants and the surgical technology we now have to aid in their implantation are advancing and improving functional outcomes and survivorship. Despite these advancements, there are still issues with patient satisfaction, functional limitations, and early revisions due to instability and aseptic loosening. This article reviews the state of current technology in hip and knee replacement implant design and surgical technique, and reviews some of the current implant designs and surgical technologies that may be able to solve some of the most common issues in the knee and hip replacement surgery.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2771-2778. [PMID: 33771400 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patella-friendly femoral components were developed in order to reduce anterior knee pain and patellofemoral complications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but their effect on long-term outcome is still unclear. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated prospectively collected data from 3 groups consisting of 100 patients (100 knees in each). In group A, the constant radius a-MP, in group B the multiradius cruciate-retaining Genesis II, and in group C the nonanatomic, multiradius, cruciate-retaining AGC TKA was implanted. Patients of all groups were matched for age, gender, side, body mass index, and length of follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative clinical outcome data in the form of Knee Society System (KSS), Short Form-12, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, and Oxford Knee Score were available at regular intervals for groups A and B. For patients of group C, KSS score data were available at the same time intervals. In all groups, the patellofemoral compartment was assessed using the Clinical Patella Score scale. Anterior knee pain, secondary patella resurfacing, implant failure, and radiological outcome were assessed in patients of all groups. RESULTS At 10-year and 15-year follow-up, patients of group A showed statistically significant (s.s.) higher (all P = .000) KSS values as compared to those of groups B and C. At 15-year follow-up, patients of group B showed s.s. higher (P = .001) KSS values as compared to those of group C. At 10-year and 15-year follow up, patients of group A showed s.s. higher (all P = .00) Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index and Oxford Knee Score values as compared to those of group B. At 15-year follow-up only, patients of group A showed s.s. higher (P = .00) Short Form-12 (physical) values as compared to those of group B. In terms of Clinical Patella Score, patients in group A had s.s. higher values (P = .05) when compared to those of groups B and C. Anterior knee pain was recorded in 4.4% of TKAs in group A, 7.5% in group B, and 17.2% in group C. One (1.1%) patient in group A, 3 (3.25%) in group B, and 7 (8%) in group C underwent secondary resurfacing. CONCLUSION Anatomical, patella-friendly, constant radius femoral components outperform others in reducing anterior knee pain and patella complications in TKA in which the patellae are left nonresurfaced.

Abstract
Background Although a successful operation, almost 20% of patients are dissatisfied with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to see if a medial congruent (MC) polyethylene would offer satisfactory early outcomes and patient satisfaction after TKA. Methods We reviewed prospectively collected data on 327 TKAs using multiple bearings within the same implant system. Ninety-six received an MC bearing, 70 received a cruciate-retaining (CR) bearing, and 161 received a posterior-stabilized (PS) bearing. We evaluated the visual analog scale pain scores and range of motion (ROM) at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year; Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-10) score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at 3 months and 1 year; and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) at 1 year. Results All groups had similar KOOS and PROMIS-10 scores. MC knees had lower visual analog scale scores than PS knees at all time points (P < .05) and a higher ROM than PS at 2 weeks (98.6 vs 93.7, P = .002). MC knees had a significantly higher FJS-12 than CR knees (71.6 vs 58.7, P = .02). More MC knees were “very satisfied” than CR (92.6% vs 81.5%, P = .04). Fewer MC knees were “not at all satisfied” than CR (1.2% vs 9.2%, P = .04). There were similar satisfaction ratings with MC and PS. Conclusions An MC bearing provided similar or improved early pain, ROM, KOOS, PROMIS-10, FJS-12, and patient satisfaction as compared with standard bearings in TKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The unique medial-pivot (MP) design of ADVANCE® system largely simulates the movement of a normal knee joint and a high mid- and long-term success rate has been reported in limited populations. The aims of this study are to investigate the mid-term clinical outcomes and survivorship based on a large cohort with 1128 cases. METHODS One thousand seven patients received 1276 ADVANCE® MP TKAs from January 2011 to April 2016 in our institution were retrospectively investigated. The range of motion (ROM), the Knee Society Score (KSS), the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to calculate the survivorship. RESULTS In an averaged five year follow-up, the results of 879 patients (1128 knees) were successfully obtained and the clinical outcomes of 1107 knees were recorded. One hundred forty-eight knees (11.6%) were lost to follow-up. Excellent mid-term ROM, KSS, KSFS, and WOMAC score were recorded. A total of 53 complications were identified and most complications were related to the discordance of femoropatellar joint. Taking revision for any reason as end point, the overall survivorship was 99.2% at seven years. When taking all cases lost to follow-up as failures, the survivorship was 83.8% at five years and 50.6% at seven years. CONCLUSION For MP designs, the intermediate clinical outcomes are good to excellent and the mid-term survivorship related to reasons other than infection is also satisfactory.

Abstract
Introduction Medial Pivot Total Knee Arthroplasty was introduced in clinical practice in 1990s to reproduce the in vivo-natural knee kinematics. This design is characterized by an asymmetric constraint profile, with aa highly congruent medial compartment, and a less congruent lateral compartment. Short-term outcomes of the medial pivot systems in primary knee arthroplasty have been widely reported in the current literature, however, only few studies have described results beyond 5-year follow-up. Objectives The primary objectives of this systematic review of the literature is to analyze the mid-term studies on medial pivot total knee arthroplasty focusing on the reoperation rate, survivorship and clinical outcome scores. Methods The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications from January 1980 to December 2019 utilizing the following keywords: "medial pivot", "medial stabilized", "medial rotating", "medial congruent", medial ball and socket", "arthroplasty", "TKA", "TKR", and "knee surgery". Results 18 articles met the inclusion criteria for the present study. The average quality was 11.4 for non-comparative studies and 21.7 for comparative studies based on MINORS criteria. A total 2832 knee arthroplasties were included for the final analysis with an average age of 69 years, and an average follow-up of 8.1 years (minimum 5 years). The overall reoperation rate was 2.4%, with periprosthetic joint infection as the leading cause of revision in 0.9% of cases, followed by aseptic loosening in 0.4% of cases. The average Knee Society Score improved to a mean preoperative score of 40.1 to a mean postoperative score of 89.2. The functional knee society score improved from a mean preoperative score of 44.8 to an average postoperative score of 82.9. The global range of motion improved from 104.8° preoperatively to 115.6° postoperatively. Conclusion We found that medial pivot system in primary total knee arthroplasty provide overall mid-term survivorship comparable to other standard implasnts. In addition, medial pivot system is associated with better high-end function compared to standard implants.

No difference in patient preference for medial pivot versus posterior-stabilized design in staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a prospective study. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2020; 28:3805-3809.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medial pivot (MP) TKA has been shown to mimic normal knee kinematics with long-term survivorship comparable to most contemporary TKA. However, there are inadequate evidences to suggest its superiority in terms of patient preference and satisfaction. The aim of this study is to compare the MP with posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA in terms of patient preference and satisfaction. METHODS 46 patients with staged bilateral TKA were recruited. TKA with MP or PS design was performed at interval of 6-12 months. Patient preference, patient satisfaction score (0-100), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), range of motion (ROM), Pain Score, Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Function Score (KFS) and WOMAC Score were compared at up to 12 months. RESULTS The mean age was 70 and 69.6% were female. There was no difference in all preoperative parameters, operative time and length of stay between two knees. No difference was found in in range of motion and all outcome scores at 6 months and 12 months. Satisfaction score was similar for the two designs (82 vs 85, p = n.s.) at 1 year after the second TKA. Proportion of patients with preference on one design over another was not significantly different (28.9 vs 35.6%, p = n.s.). CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence to support the superiority of MP TKA over PS TKA in terms of preference and satisfaction. The choice between MP TKA versus PS TKA maybe more a surgeon's preference than a patient's preference based on current evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) systems are designed to reproduce the normal knee kinematics and improve patient outcome. The authors compared two different third-generation medial pivot TKA implants, having a single-radius or a J-curve design in their sagittal plane, hypothesizing no clinical differences. METHODS Two cohorts of 50 patients who underwent primary TKA were first preoperatively matched by sex, deformity, body mass index (BMI), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Knee society score (KSS) and range of motion (ROM) and then statistically analyzed at a minimum follow-up (FU) of 2 years. An identical surgical technique, which aimed to reproduce a slightly tighter medial than lateral compartment, was used in all knees. RESULTS At a minimum follow-up of 2 years (range 24-34 months) there were no statistically significant differences in OKS and KSS between the two implant groups. The final ROM differed statistically between the two groups: the average maximum active flexion was 123° in the J-curve femoral design group with an adapted "medially-congruent" polyethylene insert, and 116° in the single radius femoral design with a medial "ball-in-socket" articulation. CONCLUSION No clinical and radiological differences were found when the two cohorts of patients were compared. This study showed that the implant design played a minor role in the final outcome as opposed to a precise surgical technique. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective case-control study, Level III.

Knee 2020; 27:1778-1786. [PMID: 33197817 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2020.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many Asian populations have a unique floor-based lifestyle that might cause mechanical stress of the knees. It is important to clarify the longevity of a medial pivot total knee arthroplasty, as its prosthetic design could cause mechanical stress onto the insert. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical results of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty for Asian patients in a 10-year follow-up study. METHODS Consecutive, primary total knee arthroplasties (n = 257) were analyzed in the study using the medial pivot knee system. The clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at the final follow-up. The patient-reported Forgotten Joint Score-12 and radiological outcomes were measured at the final follow-up. The survival rate was assessed with reoperation or revision as the end-point. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 10.1 ± 1.7 years. The lost to follow-up was 4.5%. All clinical outcomes improved significantly after surgery (p < 0.001). The mean postoperative knee flexion was 118° ± 11° and the mean Forgotten Joint Score-12 was 59.7 ± 27 points. The radiolucent line was observed in 29 patients (11.3%), however there was no aseptic loosening noted. The survival rates with reoperation or revision were 96.3% or 98.4% at 10 years after the operation. CONCLUSIONS Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty used for Asian patients showed good longevity and patient-reported outcome measurement in a mean 10-year follow-up study. Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty has long-term stability among patients who have a floor-based lifestyle. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a satisfactory procedure for end-stage knee joint pathology. However, there is a significant incidence of unsatisfied patients. In recent years conventional total knee arthroplasty surgical technique has been challenged and a modern trend to respect individual anatomy, alignment and soft tissue laxities has been developed. The indications, limits and outcomes of these modern techniques in selected patients are not well-defined. Modern technology (navigation, patient-specific instrumentation and robotics) has improved accuracy of the osteotomies but their effect on long-term outcomes is still unclear. A technique which respects individual anatomy, laxities and alignment in combination with an implant which is designed to incorporate contemporary knee kinematics, without the use of modern technology, is presented.

Abstract
PURPOSE In recent years, the medial pivot (MP) type total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant has been developed and marketed for achieving more natural kinematics with MP. However, little is known about the pivot pattern during walking after MP type TKA. This study aimed to determine the kinematics and center of axial rotation during walking after MP type TKA. METHODS This randomized prospective study enrolled 40 patients with MP type TKA, 20 with cruciate-substituting TKA (MP-CS group), 20 with posterior-stabilized TKA (MP-PS group), and 10 healthy volunteers (control group). The kinematics and center of axial rotation during overground walking were measured by a three-dimensional motion analysis system. The six-degrees-of-freedom kinematics of the knee were calculated by the point cluster method. RESULTS The amount of change in knee flexion in early stance phase was significantly lower in the MP-CS and MP-PS groups than in the control group. The femur showed anterior translation during early stance phase in all three groups. The median center of axial rotation in the transverse plane was predominantly on the lateral side of the knee during stance in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Kinematics during gait are thought to be determined by physical posture, the kinetic chain during weight-bearing, and the kinematic features of adjacent structures, such as the behavior of the biarticular muscles. MP-CS and MP-PS did not necessarily induce rotational motion centered on the medial ball-in-socket component during walking; translational and lateral pivoting movements were also observed. Long-term follow-up is needed to monitor for polyethylene wear and implant loosening.

Abstract
Background Robotic-arm assisted surgery aims to reduce manual errors and improve the accuracy of implant positioning during total hip arthroplasty. The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of implant positioning, restoration of hip biomechanics, patient satisfaction, functional outcomes, implant survivorship, cost-effectiveness, and complications in conventional manual total hip arthroplasty (CO THA) versus robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (RO THA). Preoperative pelvic computerised tomography (CT) scans will be used to create patient-specific, virtual, three-dimensional reconstructions for surgical planning in both treatment groups. Methods and analysis This prospective randomised controlled trial will include 60 patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis undergoing primary THA. Following informed consent, patients will be randomised to CO THA (control group) or RO THA (investigation group) at a ratio of 1:1 using an online random number generator. Observers will review patients at regular intervals for 2 years after surgery to record predefined study outcomes relating to the accuracy of implant positioning, hip biomechanics, postoperative rehabilitation, clinical progress, functional outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and complications. Primary and secondary objectives will be used to quantify and draw inferences on differences in the efficacy of treatment between the two groups. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol population analysis will be undertaken. Intention to treat relates to the allocated treatment (CO THA or RO THA), and per-protocol refers to the actual treatment received by the patient. The following statistical methods will be employed to analyse the data: descriptive statistics, independent t test, paired t test, analysis of variance, Fisher exact test, chi-square test, and graphical displays. Ethical approval was obtained from the London-Bromley Research Ethics Committee, UK. The study is sponsored by University College London, UK. Discussion This study compares a comprehensive and robust range of clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes in CT-planned CO THA versus CT-planned RO THA. The findings of this study will enable an improved understanding of the differences in CO THA versus RO THA with respect to patient satisfaction, functional outcomes, implant survivorship, cost-effectiveness, and complications.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful and cost-effective treatment for end-stage degenerative arthritis. The aging of society and an increase in the prevalence of obesity has led to increases in the prevalence of arthritis and the incidence of TKA. Currently, the total number of procedures in Korea per year has reached 90,000. With the rapid growth, we need to know about the current state of TKA. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent literature regarding TKA. The main indication for TKA is end-stage arthritis with severe pain, reduced function, and no response to conservative management. Metal on the polyethylene-bearing surface and cobalt alloy are used in most TKAs. Despite good clinical outcomes and long-term survival rates after TKA in many papers, 20% of patients are dissatisfied with the outcome of surgery. To improve the patient’s satisfaction, surgeons should understand factors affecting patient’s satisfaction, including patient’s expectations, age, and preoperative mental state. Navigation-assisted surgery and robotic surgery have been introduced in knee arthroplasty to achieve more precise and accurate alignment. There is some evidence to suggest that computer-assisted surgery reduces revision rates. However, clinical efficacy is also controversial, and a long-term follow-up study is required. The common complications of TKA include infection, polyethylene wear, loosening, stiffness, periprosthetic fracture, and thromboembolism. An understanding of the potential complications and pitfalls of TKA is essential for prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Constraint choice in revision total knee arthroplasty depends on the stability of the collateral ligaments and on the severity of bone loss, but the least degree of constraint necessary is recommended. The purpose of this retrospective matched-paired study was to compare clinical results, radiographic outcome and the survival of a stemmed medial pivot revision implant in aseptic revision TKA vs. medial pivot implant in primary TKA. METHODS Records were reviewed for 69 cases of aseptic revision TKA using Advance® Medial Pivot Stemmed Revision Knee system between 2002 and 2016. These patients were then matched in a 1:2 ratio control group of patients who received a primary TKA with Advance® Medial Pivot system. American Knee Society Score and Visual Analogue Scale pain score were recorded. Alignment, loosening, and incidence of radiolucent lines were evaluated on X-rays. Implant survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS The primary TKA group had significant superior AKSS clinical and functional score at baseline (52.3 and 68.2 points, respectively) and at last follow up (84.6 and 68.6 points) compared with the revision TKA group (47.9 and 40.9 points; 78.4 and 59.9 points; P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the mean change from baseline to last follow up of AKSS score between the two groups (P > 0.05). Radiographical outcome and implant survival were similar in the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The authors support the use of this revision system in knees with collateral ligaments competence and mild-to-moderate bone defect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total Knee Replacement surgery restores joint function in patients with advanced osteoarthritis. There are several prostheses available based on different mechanisms, which guarantee knee stability during Activities of Daily Living. The aim of this study is to compare ball-in-socket (or Medial Pivot) and post-cam mechanisms to detect possible differences in terms of biomechanical parameters between these two prosthesis designs and to evaluate which design is closer to physiological biomechanics. METHODS A kinematics, kinetics and electromyography lower limb analyses were performed during gait on sixty subjects: twenty with Medial Pivot prosthesis, twenty with posterior stabilized prosthesis and twenty healthy subjects to obtain a physiologic reference. FINDINGS Total Knee Replacement gait pattern for both patient groups were characterized by reduced walking speed, reduced stride length and increased stance time respect to control group. Comparison between Medial Pivot and Posterior Stabilized groups showed a reduction of knee flexion and flexor moment in patients with ball-in-socket mechanism. A prolonged muscular activity of rectus femoris was observed in Medial Pivot patients compared to Posterior Stabilized and control groups. INTERPRETATION "Stiff knee pattern" mechanism was showed for both patient groups but more enhanced in Medial Pivot patients. Even though the Posterior Stabilized design introduces the non-physiological paradoxical motion and the Medial Pivot design seems to better reproduce the physiological condylar movement as gait analysis parameters, including kinematics, kinetics and electromyographic parameters were closer to control group and, in turn, to physiological gait for the Posterior Stabilized than Medial Pivot group parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various designs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have provided satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis for many years. The aim of the study is to evaluate the success and failure rate of the medial stabilized (MS) TKA design through national joint registries and the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was carried out through PubMed and MEDLINE database. The international registries analyzed included the National Joint Registry, the Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, the Dutch Arthroplasty Register, the New Zealand Orthopedic Association Joint Registry, and the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative. We are reporting descriptive data which include means and percentages of survival rates and revision rates and number of years after the primary procedure. The revision rates and the cumulative revision rates are reported separately for each MS implant. RESULTS Our detailed review identified 5 of 12 registries and 25 of 550 studies reporting on the survivorship of an MS TKA design. There were a total of 3684 procedures between the 25 studies, with an average survivorship free of aseptic loosening of 99% at 6.9 years. There are 26,693 (2.5%) MS TKAs in the current National Joint Registry with a mean cumulative revision rate of 2.63% at 5 years, 3.35% at 10 years, and 4.6% at 15 years. The Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry provides survivorship data on 19,249 (2.9%) MS TKAs, with a mean cumulative revision rate of 3.34% at 5 years, 7.4% at 10 years, and 8.1% at 15 years. The Dutch Arthroplasty Register contains survivorship data on 1490 MS designs and a mean revision rate of these implants is 0.8% at 1 year, 5.95% at 5 years, and 9.8% at 10 years. The Evolution MP is the only implant reported in the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative and has a revision rate of 2.28% at 3 years. CONCLUSION The MS TKA design has comparable results to traditional TKA designs across several joint registries and 25 studies in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The medial pivot TKA design was introduced in the 1990s. These are fixed-bearing, medial-conforming implants with virtually no translation in the medial part of the knee, in contrast to the flat lateral part of the insert allowing for translation similar to the native knee during flexion and extension. Most primary TKAs performed in Norway and Australia are cruciate-retaining. All of the medial pivot implants in our study are cruciate-sacrificing but without a post-cam mechanism. The medial pivot implant design was developed to more closely mimic native knee motion, in the hope of improving function, and not primarily as a more constrained knee for difficult cases. In the past 10 to 12 years, a second-generation medial-pivot design has emerged, but there are no larger registry studies on the survival of these implants. Both cruciate-retaining and medial pivot designs are reported in the Australian and Norwegian registries, allowing for large-scale, comparative survivorship studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is there any difference in survival between the medial pivot design and the three most commonly used cruciate-retaining TKA designs? (2) Is there any difference in survival among the different medial pivot implant designs? (3) What are the main indications for revision of medial pivot TKAs? METHODS Registry data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry and Norwegian Arthroplasty Register from 2005 until the end of 2017 were used to compare the five different brands of medial pivot TKA designs (total primary TKAs assessed: 6310). In Australia, the study group of medial pivot implants represented 9% (6012 of 72,477) of the total number of cemented/hybrid TKAs without patellar resurfacing; 345 had cementless femoral components. In Norway, the study group represented 1% (298 of 47,820) of the total number of TKAs with cemented tibias without patellar resurfacing; all had cemented femoral components. The control group consisted of the three most commonly used cruciate-retaining TKA designs (n = 70,870; Australia n = 54,554; Norway n = 16,316). All TKAs used a fixed-bearing, cemented tibial component and did not involve patella resurfacing. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was assessed to estimate survivorship. We compared the groups by calculating the hazard ratios (HR) using Cox regression adjusted for age, gender and preoperative diagnosis with 95% CI. To answer our third question, we calculated the percentage of each revision indication from the total number of revisions in each group, and used a Cox regression analysis to compare revision causes and HRs. Analyses were performed separately by each registry. Accounting for competing risks (Fine and Gray) did not alter our findings []. RESULTS After controlling for potential confounding variables such as gender, age and preoperative diagnosis, we found an increased revision risk for the medial pivot compared with cruciate-retaining TKA designs in Australia (HR 1.4 [95% CI 1.2 to 1.7]; p < 0.001), but not in Norway (HR 1.5 [95% CI 0.9 to 2.4]; p = 0.1). Two brands of the medial pivot design reported to the AOANJRR showed an increased risk of revision compared with cruciate-retaining designs: the Advance® II MP (HR 1.7 [95% CI 1.2 to 2.6]; p = 0.004) and the GMK® Sphere (HR 2.0 [95% CI 1.5 to 2.6]; p < 0.001), whereas the MRK (HR 0.7 [95% CI 0.4 to 1.5]; p = 0.4), the Evolution® MP (HR 1.4 [95% CI 1.0 to 1.9]; p = 0.06) and the SAIPH® (HR 0.9 [95% CI 0.5 to 1.5]; p = 0.7) showed no difference. The most common reasons for revision of medial pivot implants in Australia were infection (27%), pain alone (19%), patellar erosion (13%), loosening/lysis (12%); in Norway the primary indications were loosening/lysis (28%), instability (28%), malalignment (11%) and pain alone (11%). CONCLUSIONS The medial pivot TKA design as a group had a higher revision rate than cruciate-retaining fixed-bearing controls in TKA performed without patellar component resurfacing. By brand, the Advance II MP and the GMK Sphere had inferior survivorship, whereas the MRK, the SAIPH and the Evolution MP had no differences in survivorship compared with cruciate-retaining controls. In Australia, TKAs with the medial pivot design without patella resurfacing had a higher rate of revisions for instability, malalignment, and patella erosion. In Norway, there was an increased risk of revision for lysis and loosening compared with the cruciate-retaining design. Several of these implants had short follow-up in this study. Further registry studies with longer follow up are therefore necessary. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

[PMID: 32390346 PMCID: PMC7307254 DOI: 10.1111/os.12687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 03/14/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare medial pivot (MP) prostheses to two types of posterior-stabilized (PS) prostheses (NexGen and NRG) in terms of patient satisfaction, causes of dissatisfaction, and risk factors for dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A total of 453 patients who underwent primary TKA by one senior surgeon from August 2016 to August 2018 were investigated in a retrospective study, including 121, 219, and 113 patients in the MP, NexGen, and NRG groups, respectively. The mean age and follow-up time of patients were 70.82 ± 7.06 years and 20.64 ± 3.88 months. A survey was designed and responses were collected by telephone, WeChat, and outpatient follow up. Patient satisfaction, causes of dissatisfaction, post-TKA pain on a numeric rating scale (NRS), and range of motion (ROM) were compared among groups, and risk factors were investigated. Patient satisfaction included a five-level satisfaction rating (very satisfied, satisfied, neutral, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied), with five options for causes of dissatisfaction (persistent pain, limited ROM, knee instability, asthenia, and/or other factors). RESULTS Overall, 89.84% of patients were satisfied with the results of primary TKA. There were no significant differences among the three groups regarding the side of the operation, the length of hospitalization in days, or the average follow-up time. Patient satisfaction was similar among the MP (87.38%), NexGen (89.89%), and NRG groups (90.32%). Persistent pain after TKA was the major cause of dissatisfaction (32/40), but no difference in the frequency of this complaint was found among the groups (P = 0.663). The NRS score (P = 0.598) and the ROM (P = 0.959) of the MP group were not significantly different from those of the NexGen and NRG groups. Gender, length of hospitalization, and follow-up time were all uncorrelated with patient satisfaction, but age showed a very weak correlation with patient satisfaction (r = 0.110, P = 0.033). Moreover, the NRS score (r = 0.459, P < 0.000) and the ROM (r = -0.175, P = 0.001) were significantly correlated with patient dissatisfaction. The odds ratio of dissatisfaction was 6.37 (P < 0.000) in patients with moderate to severe pain (NRS ≥ 3) compared to patients with mild pain (NRS < 3). CONCLUSION Patient satisfaction and function were not found to be higher in the MP group than in the two PS groups, and persistent pain was the major cause of and an important risk factor for patient dissatisfaction.

Abstract
Robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) improves the accuracy of implant positioning and reduces outliers in achieving the planned limb alignment compared to conventional jig-based TKA.Robotic TKA does not have a learning curve effect for achieving the planned implant positioning. The learning curve for achieving operative times comparable to conventional jig-based TKA is 7-20 robotic TKA cases.Cadaveric studies have shown robotic TKA is associated with reduced iatrogenic injury to the periarticular soft tissue envelope compared to conventional jig-based TKA.Robotic TKA is associated with decreased postoperative pain, enhanced early functional rehabilitation, and decreased time to hospital discharge compared to conventional jig-based TKA. However, there are no differences in medium- to long-term functional outcomes between conventional jig-based TKA and robotic TKA.Limitations of robotic TKA include high installation costs, additional radiation exposure, learning curves for gaining surgical proficiency, and compatibility of the robotic technology with a limited number of implant designs.Further higher quality studies are required to compare differences in conventional TKA versus robotic TKA in relation to long-term functional outcomes, implant survivorship, time to revision surgery, and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Knee kinematics is an analysis of motion pattern that is utilized to assess a comparative, biomechanical performance of healthy nonimplanted knees, injured nonimplanted knees, and various prosthetic knee designs. Unfortunately, a consensus between implanted knee kinematics and outcomes has not been reached. One might hypothesize that the kinematic variances between the nonimplanted and implanted knee might play a role in patient dissatisfaction following TKA. There is a wide range of TKA designs available today. With such variety, it is important for surgeons and engineers to understand the various geometries and kinematic profiles of available prostheses. The purpose of this review is to provide readers with the pertinent information related to TKA kinematics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To present the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of the Genesis I posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics, Memphis, TN, USA) (one of the first designed with an asymmetric tibial tray). METHODS Prospectively collected data from 117 cemented TKAs performed on 95 patients were evaluated using this design, with a mean follow-up of 21.5 years (range, 18-26). Failures, complication rates, and clinical (both subjective and objective) and radiological outcomes were assessed for all patients. RESULTS Seven failures occurred (wear and structural failure of the polyethylene insert) and six revision surgeries were performed at a mean of 10 years (range, three to 14) from the index operation. No revision of either the femoral or tibial components for aseptic loosening was performed. Survivorship analysis showed a cumulative success rate of 93.53% (95% CI, 92.75-94.32%) at 20 and 25 years, with revision for any reason as an end point. All patients showed a statistically significant improvement (P = 0.001) in the Knee Society and Oxford knee rating scores. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated satisfactory long-term clinical outcomes for this TKA design, with revisions being related to polyethylene wear structural failure.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for advanced osteoarthritis of the knee. No large and long-term follow-up study has been done about Cedior® prosthesis. The study hypothesis was that 15-year survival for the Cedior™ prosthesis is at least as good as rates reported for other models. A continuous retrospective single-center study included patients managed by Cedior™ TKA with at least 15-year follow-up. The main endpoint was prosthesis survival; secondary objectives were to identify factors for implant revision and to assess functional scores at 15 years. In the present series, 15-year all-cause survival for the Cedior® knee prosthesis was 93.03%; comparable to rates in the literature, posterior-stabilized implants showed higher revision rates. No other factors for revision emerged. These findings are comparable with those of the literature.

Patellofemoral design enhancements reduce long-term complications of postero-stabilized total knee arthroplasty. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2019; 27:1241-1250.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies investigated whether trochlear and patellar design enhancements improve long-term outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to compare the long-term survival and complication rates of two consecutive generations of the same TKA system with identical tibiofemoral geometry, but different patellofemoral designs. METHODS The authors retrieved the records of 93 patients (104 knees) operated with the HLS II system and 116 patients (122 knees) operated with HLS Evolution system. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at a minimum of 10 years noting all complications. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival was compared for two endpoints: (1) revision of all components and (2) revision of any component. RESULTS From the HLS II series, the incidence of revision of all components was 6.4%, and of any component was 9.8%. From the HLS Evolution series, the incidence of revision of all components was 4.1%, and of any component was 5.1%. Comparing the survival at equivalent follow-up of 14 years, considering revision of all components, the HLS II had higher survival than the HLS Evolution (98.9% vs 95.9%), while considering revision of any component, the HLS II had lower survival than the HLS Evolution (93.0% vs 94.9%). The differences in survival of the two implants were not significant, neither at equivalent follow-up of 14 years (n.s.), nor at maximum follow-up of each cohort (n.s.). The complication rate was higher for the HLS II series compared to the HLS Evolution (28% vs 12%, p = 0.009), but patellofemoral complications were not more frequent (8% vs 6%, n.s.). CONCLUSIONS Though the differences in survival of the two implants were not significant, conflicting findings are observed due to partial revisions for patellar fractures (5 in the HLS II series and 1 in the HLS Evolution series) which could be related to patellofemoral design enhancements. This study highlights the importance of patello-femoral geometry, which is often overlooked in TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective comparative study, Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral rotational asymmetry (FRA) is the difference in rotational alignment between the trochlear groove and posterior condyles. We hypothesize that FRA increases as the tibial plateau becomes more varus due to internal rotation of the posterior condyles and external rotation of the trochlear groove to ensure a vertical trochlear groove at 90o knee flexion. METHODS Seventy lower limb Computed Tomography (CT) scans were reviewed by two examiners. Comparisons were made between both the sulcus line (SL) and posterior condylar line (PCL) relative to the surgical epicondylar axis (SEA). Femoral and tibial coronal alignment were measured on CT scanograms and 3D reconstructions. Correlation analysis was performed to identify associations between FRA, SL and PCL and the coronal alignment of the tibia and femur. RESULTS The mean FRA was +2.9° (SL externally rotated to PCL) (-2.4° to +7.7°, SD 2.2o). FRA greater than four degrees occurred in (17/70) 24% of knees. A statistically significant correlation was found between the degree of FRA and proximal tibial varus (MPTA) (R2 = 0.67, p < 0.001). Furthermore, there were significant correlations between the SL and the MPTA (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.77) and the PCL and the MPTA (p < 0.001, R2 = -0.41). CONCLUSION Native femora are frequently rotationally asymmetrical. As the tibial plateau becomes increasingly varus there is an increase in external rotation of the SL and internal rotation of the PCL. The effect is to maintain a more vertical trochlear groove during flexion in the presence of a varus tibia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ceramic bearings have been widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), which resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes due to the excellent tribological characteristics of the implants. However, ceramic components are not commonly used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) because of brittleness. This study aimed to gather and analyze information regarding the clinical outcomes (including survival without revision, causes of revision, functional outcome, and incidence of loosening) and reach a definitive conclusion about the use of ceramic femoral components in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for studies that reported the clinical and/or radiological outcomes with or without survival data of ceramic TKA implants and that included more than 10 patients with a minimum of 1 year follow-up. RESULTS From an initial sample of 147, there were 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Overall, there was a notable enhancement of joint function after the procedure, with a satisfactory mid- and long-term survival of the ceramic components, which is comparable to that of the conventional alloy components reported previously. In addition, the revision rate was reported to be between 0% and 14.37% according to the included studies. However, revision due to aseptic loosening, wear, and component fracture appeared to be rare, demonstrating the safety of in vivo use of ceramic bearings in the TKA procedure. CONCLUSIONS Ceramic TKA implants show similar post-operative clinical results and survival rate compared to their conventional metallic counterparts. Our results confirmed the safety of in vivo use of ceramic bearings in TKA, with rare implant breakage and aseptic loosening. Considering the excellent characteristics of the tribology of ceramics, the clinical use of ceramic prostheses in TKA could be promising.

Abstract
AIMS Between 15% and 20% of patients remain dissatisfied following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The SAIPH knee system (MatOrtho, Surrey, United Kingdom) is a medial ball and socket TKA that has been designed to replicate native knee kinematics in order to maximize the range of movement, stability, and function. This system is being progressively introduced in a stepwise fashion, with this study reporting the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of the first 100 consecutive patients with five-year follow-up following SAIPH TKA performed by the senior authors. The data that were collected included the demographics of the patients, clinical findings, the rate of intraoperative ligamentous release, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS), radiological assessment, complications, and all-cause revision. Revision data were cross-checked with a national registry. RESULTS A total of 100 TKAs in 92 patients were included. Three patients died (three TKAs) and a further two TKAs were revised. Of the remaining 95 TKAs, five-year follow-up data were available for 81 TKAs (85%) in 87 patients. There were significant improvements in all PROMs and high satisfaction. The mean ROM at final follow-up was from 0° (full extension) to 124° flexion. There were seven major complications (7%): one infection, two deep vein thromboses, one cerebrovascular event, and two patients with stiffness requiring a manipulation under anaesthesia. Two patients required a lateral retinacular release to optimize patellar tracking in valgus knees; no additional ligament releases were performed in any patient. Radiological analysis demonstrated no evidence of implant-related complications. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes at five years following a medial ball and socket TKA. The complication and revision rates are consistent with those previously reported for patients undergoing TKA. These results demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the SAIPH Knee TKA system and support its wider use.
