Abstract
Background Technologies such as navigation and robotics are aimed at improving tibial alignment in total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and eliminating the errors resulting from the use of manual instrumentation. Methods This prospective study analyzed 130 arthroplasties in order to determine whether navigation can improve the frontal mechanical axis of the tibia and whether the postoperative angulation of this axis differs from the preoperative one. The mean patient age was 71.8 years, and the mean BMI was 31.17. Eighty-six patients were female. The same cemented TKA model and the same imageless navigation system were used in all cases. Results The mean postoperative tibial angle following implantation was 87.65°, without any statistically significant differences with respect to the previous angulation. However, navigation was seen to result in a nearly neutral tibial axis, a larger number of cases (41.5%-60.8% {p = 0.002}) aligned within the safe zone (90° ± 3°), a smaller number of outliers, and a clustering of values around the mean. Conclusions Navigation improves the frontal positioning of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasties but does not offer any advantages as compared with conventional instrumentation.

Yen SH, Lin PC, Wang JW. Comparison of the radiographic outcomes and total blood loss between pinless navigation and conventional method in minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:254.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Computer-assisted surgical navigation has been used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures for years trying to the accuracy of prosthesis placement. We conducted this prospective randomized clinical trial to compare the accuracy of the radiographic parameters of the prosthesis, total blood loss (TBL), and related complications, between a new pinless navigation system (Stryker OrthoMap Express Knee Navigation) and conventional method in patients undergoing minimally invasive (MIS) TKA procedures.
Patient and methods
A consecutive series of 100 patients underwent unilateral primary TKA were randomly assigned into two groups: navigation group and convention group. The radiographic parameters of the knee implant and the alignment of lower limb were measured at 3 months after surgery. TBL was calculated according to Nadler’s method. The duplex ultrasonography of both lower limbs was performed in all patients to detect the presence of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT).
Results
Totally, 94 patients have completed the radiographic measures. Only the coronal femoral component angle in the navigation group (89.12° ± 1.83°) had significant differences from that in the convention group (90.09° ± 2.18°) (p = 0.022). There were no differences in the rate of outliers. The mean TBL in the navigation group was 841 ± 267 mL, which was similar to that in the convention group at 860 ± 266 mL (p = 0.721). Postoperative DVT risk did not differ between the two groups (2% vs. 0%, p = 0.315).
Conclusion
This pinless navigation TKA showed a comparable acceptable alignment compared with conventional MIS-TKA. There were no differences regarding postoperative TBL between the two groups.

Improved Accuracy of Coronal Alignment Can Be Attained Using 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Instrumentation for Knee Osteotomies: A Systematic Review of Level III and IV Studies. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:2741-2758. [PMID: 35247513 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2022.02.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy and precision of postoperative coronal plane alignment using 3D-printed patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in the setting of proximal tibial or distal femoral osteotomies. METHODS A systematic review evaluating the accuracy of 3D-printed PSI for coronal plane alignment correcting knee osteotomies was performed. The primary outcomes were accuracy of coronal plane limb alignment correction and number of correction outliers. Secondary variables were duration of surgery, number of intraoperative fluoroscopic images, complications, cost, and clinical outcomes (as applicable). RESULTS Ninety-three studies were identified, and 14 were included in the final analysis. Overall, mean postoperative deviation from target correction ranged from 0.3° to 1° for all studies using hip-knee angle measurements and 2.3% to 4.9% for all studies using weight-bearing line measurements. The incidence of correction outliers was assessed in 8 total studies and ranged from 0 to 25% (total n = 10 knees) of patients corrected with 3D-printed PSI. Osteotomies performed with 3D-printed cutting guides or wedges demonstrated significantly shorter operative times (P < .05) and fewer intraoperative fluoroscopic images (P < .05) than control groups in four case control studies. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing distal femoral osteotomy or proximal tibial osteotomy procedures with 3D-printed patient-specific cutting guides and wedges had highly accurate coronal plane alignment with a low rate of outliers. Patients treated with 3D printed PSI also demonstrated significantly shorter operative times and decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy when compared to conventional techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level III-IV studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our systematic review and meta-analysis sought to assess how technology-assistance impacts (1) post-operative pain and (2) opioid use in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Four online databases were queried for studies published up to October 2021 that reported on pain and opioid usage between technology-assisted and manual TKA (mTKA) patients. Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) models were utilized to calculate pooled mean difference (MDs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs). Subgroup analyses were conducted to isolate robotic-arm assisted (RAA) and computed-assisted navigation (CAN) cohorts. Risk of bias was assessed for all included non-randomized studies with the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool. For the randomized control trials included in our study, the Detsky scale was applied. RESULTS Our analysis included 31 studies, reporting on a total of 761,300 TKAs (mTKA: n = 753,554; Computer-Assisted Navigation (CAN): n = 1,309; Robotic-Arm Assisted (RAA): n = 6437). No differences were demonstrated when evaluating WOMAC (MD: 0.00, 95% CI - 0.69 to 0.69; p = 1.00), KSS (MD: 0.01, 95% CI - 1.46 to 1.49; p = 0.99), KOOS (MD - 2.91, 95% CI - 6.17 to 0.34; p = 0.08), and VAS (MD - 0.54, 95% CI - 1.01 to - 0.007; p = 0.02) pain scores between cohorts. There was mixed evidence regarding how opioid consumption differed between TKA techniques. CONCLUSION The present analysis demonstrated no difference in terms of pain across a variety of utilized patient-reported pain measurements. However, there were mixed results regarding how opioid consumption varied between manual and technology-assisted cohorts, particularly in the immediate post-operative period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Shah SM. After 25 years of computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty, where do we stand today? ARTHROPLASTY 2021; 3:41. [PMID: 35236503 PMCID: PMC8796491 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-021-00100-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Limb and implant alignment along with soft tissue balance plays a vital role in the outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Computer navigation for TKA was first introduced in 1997 with the aim of implanting the prosthetic components with accuracy and precision. This review discusses the technique, current status, and scientific evidence pertaining to computer-navigated TKA. Body The adoption of navigated TKA has slowly but steadily increased across the globe since its inception 25 years ago. It has been more rapid in some countries like Australia than others, like the UK. Contemporary, large console-based navigation systems help control almost every aspect of TKA, including the depth and orientation of femoral and tibial resections, soft-tissue release, and customization of femoral and tibial implant positions in order to obtain desired alignment and balance. Navigated TKA results in better limb and implant alignment and reduces outliers as compared to conventional TKA. However, controversy still exists over whether improved alignment provides superior function and longevity. Surgeons may also be hesitant to adopt this technology due to the associated learning curve, slightly increased surgical time, fear of pin site complications, and the initial set-up cost. Furthermore, the recent advent of robotic-assisted TKA which provides benefits like precision in bone resections and avoiding soft-tissue damage due to uncontrolled sawing, in addition to those of computer navigation, might be responsible for the latter technology taking a backseat. Conclusion This review summarizes the current state of computer-navigated TKA. The superiority of computer navigation to conventional TKA in improving accuracy is well established. Robotic-assisted TKA provides enhanced functionality as compared to computer navigation but is significantly more expensive. Whether robotic-assisted TKA offers any substantive advantages over navigation is yet to be conclusively proven. Irrespective of the form, the use of computer-assisted TKA is on the rise worldwide and is here to stay.

Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis comparing functional outcomes of total knee arthroplasty using either computer navigation (NAV-TKA) or conventional methods (CON-TKA) from the latest assemblage of evidence. This study was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. All Level I and II randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane that compared functional outcomes after NAV- and CON-TKA were included in the review. Selected end points for random effects, pairwise meta-analysis included Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), KS Function Score (KSFS), KS Total Score (KSTS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and range of motion at three arbitrary follow-up times. A total of 24 prospective RCTs comprising 3,778 knees were included from the initial search. At long-term follow-up (>5 years), NAV-TKA exhibited significantly better raw KSKS (p = 0.001) (low-quality evidence), contrary to CON-TKA, which reflected significantly better raw KSTS (p = 0.004) (high-quality evidence). While change scores (KSKS, WOMAC) from preoperative values favor CON-TKA at short-term (<6 months) and medium-term follow-up (6-60 months), long-term follow-up change scores in KSKS suggest the superiority of NAV-TKA over CON-TKA (p = 0.02) (very low-quality evidence). Overall, sizeable dispersion of nonstatistically significant functional outcomes in the medium term was observed to eventually converge in the long term, with less differences in functional outcome scores between the two treatment methods in short- and long-term follow-up. While raw functional outcome scores reflect no differences between NAV and CON-TKA, long-term follow-up change scores in KSKS suggest superiority of NAV-TKA over its conventional counterpart. Prospective studies with larger power are required to support the pattern of diminishing differences in functional outcome scores from medium- to long-term follow-up between the two modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This article systematically summarizes the present evidences, published in the last 20 years, regarding the pre- and post-operative factors, which may influence recovery of the function of the quadriceps muscle group following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We following the PRISMA methodology, including meta-analyses and high-level evidence studies (prospective trials, and, when unavailable, retrospective studies). SOURCES OF DATA Pubmed and Cochrane databases: 582 articles were identified and 54 of them were selected. AREAS OF AGREEMENT Tourniquets inflated at high pressure exert a detrimental effect on the quadriceps muscle group. Faster quadriceps recovery takes place using mini-invasive approaches, an eight-week rehabilitation period including balance training and the use of nutraceuticals. AREAS OF DISAGREEMENT Pre-habilitation and pre-operative factors, analgesic methods and different TKA implants. GROWING POINTS AND AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Telerehabilitation seems a cost-effective tool for rehabilitation after TKA. Patients' optimization protocols before TKA should include standardized nutraceuticals intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) from 1988 to 2000 was previously analyzed. The purpose of this current study was to analyze the quality of reporting of RCTs published in JBJS from 2001 to 2013 to identify trends over time and potential areas of improvement for future clinical trials. METHODS A manual search of the JBJS database identified RCTs published between January 2001 and December 2013. Quality assessments, using the Detsky quality-of-reporting index (Detsky score), a modified Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and abstraction of relevant data identifying predictors of quality, were conducted. RESULTS A total of 5,780 publications were identified in JBJS from 2001 to 2013, with 285 RCTs (4.9%), representing an increase from the prior 13-year period. The overall mean transformed Detsky score (and standard error) increased significantly (p < 0.001) from 68.1% ± 1.67% to 76.24% ± 0.72%. The percentage of multicenter RCTs decreased from 67% to 31%. The percentage of positive trials also decreased from 80% to 50.5%, as did the mean sample size (212 to 166). Regression analysis indicated that trials with an epidemiologist as the first author and nonsurgical trials were significantly associated (p = 0.001) with a higher overall trial quality score. The categories of the lowest mean methodology scores were randomization and concealment, eligibility criteria, and reasons for patient exclusion, as identified with the Detsky score, and patient and assessor blinding, as identified with the risk-of-bias assessment. CONCLUSIONS The quantity and quality of published RCTs in JBJS have increased in the 2001 to 2013 time period compared with the previous time period. Although these improvements are encouraging, trends to smaller, single-center trials were also observed. To efficiently determine the efficacy of orthopaedic treatments and limit bias, high-quality randomized trials of appropriate sample size and rigorous design are needed.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful treatment for tricompartmental knee arthritis. Computer navigation and robotic-assisted-surgery (RAS) have emerged as tools that aim to help plan and execute surgery with greater precision and consistency. We reviewed the most current literature to describe the historical background and outcomes compared to conventional TKA. Methods A review and synthesis of the literature comparing the patient reported outcomes (PROM’s) of RA TKA and computer-assisted (CA) TKA to conventional TKA was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results CAS TKA improves accuracy and consistency of implant position, and appears to provide a small improvement in PROMs and implant survival compared to conventional TKA. RTKA similarly improves implant accuracy compared to conventional techniques and early results suggest a similar small benefit in PROMs compared to conventional TKA. A strengthening trend is emerging showing CAS TKA has greatest benefit to implant survival in people under 65. RTKA survival analysis data is more limited and early results do not allow strong conclusions, however early trends are similar to CAS TKA. Conclusion Results for CAS-TKA show improvement in alignment, and early clinical outcomes have revealed promising results, with longer-term data and medium-term survival analysis recently emerging showing small benefits over conventional TKA. RTKA represents another phase of development. Early results show similar trends to that of CAS TKA with longer-term data still to come.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to provide an overview of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in primary total knee arthroplasty summarizing the available high-quality evidence. METHODS Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, 2019, Issue 3), Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase. We excluded nonrandomized trials, trials on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or revision surgery, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Trials that met our inclusion criteria were assessed using a binary outcome measure of whether they reported statistically significant findings. These were then classified according to the intervention groups (surgical approach, tourniquet use, design, etc.). RESULTS Four hundred and three RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were included. The total number of patients in those 403 RCTs was 47,675. Only 33 RCTs (8.2%) reported significant differences between the intervention and the control groups. The trials were grouped into surgical approach 34, tourniquet 31, minimally invasive surgery 13, patient specific instrumentation 30, knee design 37, fixation 27, mobile bearing 47, navigation 50, polyethylene 19, technique 27, patella resurfacing 26, drain 19, closure 16, and others 27 RCTs. CONCLUSION For the vast majority of patients, a standard conventional total knee arthroplasty with a surgical approach familiar to the surgeon using standard well-established components, with or without tourniquet, without surgical drain leads to satisfactory long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The importance of femoral sagittal bowing on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been actively discussed. Femoral sagittal bowing can lead to cortex damage, fractures, or femoral malalignment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate femoral sagittal bowing at different segments of the femur in the Korean population, and to discuss the implications on total knee arthroplasty. Differences in the morphology of femoral sagittal bowing for 978 patients-829 women and 148 men-were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging. The angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the anterior cortex line was measured for all the patients. In addition, the gender difference in femoral sagittal bowing was investigated. The angle of femoral sagittal bowing with the mechanical axis was 2.8˚ ± 2.2˚. The angles for femoral sagittal bowing were 2.9˚ ± 2.2˚ and 2.3˚ ± 2.6˚ for females and males, respectively. Thus, a gender difference was found in the femoral sagittal bowing (p < 0.05). Excessive sagittal bowing of the femur can affect the final sagittal position of the femoral component, and this has implications for implant design selection. We recommend that surgeons accurately perform pre-operative evaluation of femoral bowing to prevent potential malalignment, rotation, and abnormal stresses between the femur and implant.

Abstract
A continual increase in the prevalence of osteoarthritis drives growing demand for total joint arthroplasty. So far, a decrease in length of stay has been the target for health professionals globally. However, a consensus pathway of achieving this has not yet been reached. This article reviews recent advances in pre-operative and perioperative factors impacting length of stay.

Postoperative mechanical alignment analysis of total knee replacement patients operated with 3D printed patient specific instruments: A Prospective Cohort Study. ACTA ORTHOPAEDICA ET TRAUMATOLOGICA TURCICA 2019; 53:323-328. [PMID: 30853398 PMCID: PMC6819789 DOI: 10.1016/j.aott.2019.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Revised: 01/06/2019] [Accepted: 02/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Objective Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical treatment for final stage gonarthrosis. The lifespan of the prosthetic implants used in TKR surgery is a major interest for the orthopaedic research community.Previously, proper implant alignment of the implants has been advocated for longevity of the TKR surgery. Recently, patient-specific (PSI) instruments have been proposed to improve the mechanical alignment of the TKR by permitting better implant positioning over conventional TKR surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the mechanical alignment results of patients operated with PSIs and conventional instruments. Methods Two groups of 20 patients chosen in a quasi-random manner have been compared in this study. In the first group femoral distal and tibial osteotomies were made by a PSI which was produced by the patients' computed tomography scans. All osteotomies in the control group were made with the TKR set's routine instruments by conventional means. Patients' preoperative and postoperative mechanical femorotibal angles (mFTA), femoral coronal angles (FCA), tibial coronal angles (TCA) were measured and the number of outliers which showed more than 3° of malalignment were counted in both groups for comparison. Results The average postoperative mFTA was found to be 2.09° for the PSI group and in was found to be 2.84° for the control which was not statistically significant. The comparison of postoperative FCA and TCA also did not show significant difference between the groups. The number of outliers showing more than 3° of malalignment per group were found to be 1 out of 20 (5%) for the PSI group and 7 out of 20 (35%) for the control which was statistically significant. Conclusion In this study patient-specific instrumentation provided significantly better mechanical alignment compared to conventional TKR for the frequency of outlier cases with malalignment beyond 3°. PSI proved no significant difference when the groups were compared for mFTA, FCA and TCA. Our findings support that PSI may improve TKR alignment by improving the ratio of the outlier patients with marked malalignment. Level of Evidence Level III, Therapeutic Study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common health problems in older adults and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is able to improve walking ability in these individuals. There have been few studies investigating whether sociodemographic factors influence walking ability after TKA. The aim of this study was to examine which sociodemographic factors relate to walking ability in Japanese older adults following TKA during the acute stage of recovery. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 388 participants, from a multicenter database, who underwent TKA. The Timed Up and Go test 2 weeks after TKA was the dependent variable. Sociodemographic factors including age, sex, body mass index, marital status, and academic qualification were independent variables. In addition, type of surgery and severity of osteoarthritis were measured as confounding variables. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to predict the factors that have the greatest influence on walking ability. Models were examined with and without confounding factors. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In the final regression model, older age, conventional TKA approaches, increased severity of Kellgren-Lawrence grade, and women were associated with longer Timed Up and Go time. Academic qualification and marital status were not related to walking ability. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that age, type of surgery, severity of osteoarthritis, and sex are related to Timed Up and Go time during the acute stage following TKA and need to be assessed.

Abstract
Objective Sagittal alignment of the tibia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can affect various factors, such as durability, range of motion, stability, and even kinematics. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether taking plain preoperative lateral leg X-ray images to plan the posterior tibial slope can give an insert placement with more accurate sagittal alignment. Methods A total of 100 patients who underwent total TKA with posterior-stabilized prostheses. were divided into a group of 50 cases in which the posterior tibial slope was determined intra-operatively with only the fibular axis as the landmark, and a group of 50 cases in which determination of the posterior tibial slope was planned preoperatively with reference to preoperative lateral leg images. For the posterior slope, tibial cutting was performed with the posterior slope built into the bone cutting guide of the insert as the target. The angle of the fibular axis and the posterior slope of the tibial insert were measured on the postoperative lateral leg X-ray image, and the difference from the target angle was examined in the two groups. Results In the group in which only the fibular axis was used for reference, the mean deviation from the target was 3.96°, while in the group in which planning was carried out preoperatively using lateral leg X-ray images, the mean deviation was 1.59° (P < 0.05). Conclusion Drawing up a preoperative plan using lateral leg X-ray images gives a useful landmark at low cost for accurate determination of TKA posterior tibial slope.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intramedullary (IM) or extramedullary (EM) mechanical guides are used as alignment tools during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. The EM guide is less invasive; however, the IM mechanical guide is the preferred option since it has shown superior outcomes in several studies. Picture archive and communication system (PACS) images, if available, are extensively used for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance. This retrospective study compared TKA outcomes using the conventional IM guide and a new EM technique which uses PACS image for preoperative and intraoperative assessment bone resection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study with the new EM technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed on 205 knees (190 patients) for TKA from 2011 to 2013. The perioperative blood loss and the postoperative alignment angles were assessed for both mechanical guides. The angles were measured on the radiographs of the patient. The blood loss was assessed by the blood accumulated in the hemovac drain during the surgery and until 3 days after the surgery. RESULTS The new EM guide provided similar postoperative alignment as that obtained with the IM guide. CONCLUSION The EM-guided method for femoral bone cutting using PACS films in TKA is as good as the IM method. The additional advantages of less injury to the bone and less fat emboli load to the cardiopulmonary system with the EM method makes it an attractive choice for routine, especially in the elderly and/or simultaneous bilateral, TKA in hospitals without modern computer-assisted navigation systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE The distal femoral varization osteotomy (DFVO) by a lateral opening wedge osteotomy is an established intervention for patients suffering from lateral femoro-tibial osteoarthritis on a genu valgum deformity. In order to improve the accuracy of this correction, the use of a customized cutting guide (PSI) has been proposed as an alternative to conventional technique. The objective of our study was to compare the accuracy of post-operative alignment following DFVO in the coronal and sagittal plane using either a conventional abacus technique or PSI guide. METHOD Twenty-one patients that underwent lateral opening wedge osteotomy from a technique using PSI based on 3D CT-scans were matched 1:1 to 21 patients operated on using a conventional technique (pre-operative planning performed on standard radiographs). The accuracy of the correction was analyzed, comparing coronal and sagittal mechanical post-operative angles with pre-operative planning. RESULTS With regard to alignment in the coronal plane (HKA correction), our study demonstrated a significant improvement in the accuracy of the correction obtained in the PSI group compared to the conventional group (0.43 ± 0.50 vs 3.95 ± 1.64 p < 0.001). In the sagittal plane (PDFA correction), we also found a significant improvement in correction accuracy in the PSI group (0.52 ± 0.60 vs 3.10 ± 1.83 p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in operating time (delta 7.7 ± 3.07 (1.5-13.9) (p = 0.0.161) and fluoroscopic images taken (6.9 ± 0.54 (5.8-8) p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the use of PSI in DFVO improves the accuracy of correction in both the coronal and sagittal planes compared to conventional techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in the performance of total knee arthroplasty may allow for return to driving sooner than the current recommendation of six to eight weeks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate at what time point patients may safely return to driving after modern total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Thirty-two consecutive patients underwent pre-operative and weekly post-operative assessments of brake reaction time before and for eight weeks after undergoing total knee arthroplasty. RESULTS Overall, patients returned to their preoperative baseline brake reaction times by the second postoperative week. There was a significant difference in regard to gender but not laterality or age. Specifically, men achieved preoperative brake reaction times by the first postoperative week and women by the second. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with a modern perioperative pathway appear to achieve preoperative brake reaction times by the second postoperative week when not taking narcotic pain medication. However, the safe return to driving in each patient must be approached individually. Surgeon discretion to release a patient to drive is always prudent and the decision should be considered on an individual basis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this controlled multicenter study is to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using single-use fully disposable and patient-specific cutting guides (SU) and compare the results to those obtained with traditional patient-specific cutting guides (PSI) vs conventional instrumentation (CI). METHODS Seventy consecutive patients had their TKA performed using SU. They were compared to 140 historical patients requiring TKA that were randomized to have the procedure performed using PSI vs CI. The primary measure outcome was mechanical axis as measured on a standing long-leg radiograph using the hip-knee-ankle angle. Secondary outcome measures were Knee Society and Oxford knee scores, operative time, need for postoperative transfusion, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS The mean hip-knee-ankle value was 179.8° (standard deviation [SD] 3.1°), 179.2° (SD 2.9°), and 178.3° (SD 2.5°) in the CI, PSI and SU groups, respectively (P = .0082). Outliers were identified in 16 of 65 (24.6%), 15 of 67 (22.4%), and 14 of 70 (20.0%) knees in the CI, PSI, and SU group, respectively (P = .81). There was no significant difference in the clinical results (P = .29 and .19, respectively). Operative time, number of unit transfusion, and length of hospital stay were not significantly different between the 3 groups (P = .45, .31, and 0.98, respectively). CONCLUSION The use of an SU in TKA provided similar clinical and radiologic results to those obtained with traditional PSI and CI. The potential economic advantages of single-use instrumentation in primary TKA require further investigation.

Abstract
In this review, we outlined the definition of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in total knee replacement (TKR) and described the different surgical approaches reported in the literature. Afterwards, we went through the most recent studies assessing MIS TKR. Next, we searched for potential limitations of MIS knee replacement and tried to answer the following questions: Are there selective criteria and specific patient selection for MIS knee surgery? If there are, then what are they? After all, a discussion and conclusion completed this article. There is certainly room for MIS or at least less invasive surgery for appropriate selected patients. Nonetheless, there are differences between approaches. Mini-medial parapatellar is easy to master, quick to perform and potentially extendable, whereas mini-subvastus and mini-midvastus are trickier and require more caution related to risk of haematoma and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) nerve damage. Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of mini-incision surgery for TKR does not appear fully adequate for the procedure to be used without special arrangements for consent and for audit or continuing research. There is an argument that a sudden jump from standard TKR to MIS TKR, especially without computer assistance such as navigation, patient-specific instrumentation or robotic, may breach a surgeon's duty of care towards patients because it exposes patients to unnecessary risks. As a final point, more evidence is required on the long-term safety and efficacy of this procedure which will give objective shed light on real benefits of MIS TKR.

Abstract
Utilizing patient-specific instrumentation during total knee arthroplasty has gained popularity in recent years with theoretical advantages in blood loss, intraoperative time, length of stay, postoperative alignment, and functional outcome, amongst others. No study has compared acute perioperative measures between patient-specific instrumentation and conventional instrumentation in the bilateral total knee arthroplasty setting. We compared patient-specific instrumentation versus conventional instrumentation in the setting of bilateral total knee arthroplasty to determine any benefits in the immediate perioperative period including surgical time, blood loss, pain medication use, length of stay, and discharge disposition. A total of 49 patients with standard instrumentation and 31 patients with patient-specific instrumentation were retrospectively reviewed in a two-year period at one facility. At baseline, the groups were comparable with respect to age, ASA, BMI, and comorbid conditions. We analyzed data on operative time, blood loss, hemoglobin change, need for transfusion, pain medication use, length of stay, and discharge disposition. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in regards to these parameters. Patient-specific instrumentation in the setting of bilateral total knee arthroplasty did not provide any immediate perioperative benefit compared to conventional instrumentation.

Abstract
Introduction: A recent study has challenged the premise that a patient-specific (PS)–designed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) component has better clinical survival than an off-the-shelf (OTS) prosthesis. Methods: We developed the finite element models for PS TKA and OTS TKA with 5° varus and valgus malalignment and 5° internal and external malrotations. Results: Contact stress on the medial side of the insert increased with internal femoral malrotation and varus tibial malalignment, but it decreased with external femoral malrotation and varus tibial malalignment in both PS TKA and OTS TKA. An increase in ligament force occurred in valgus malalignment and external malrotation, and in particular, the force exerted on the medial collateral ligament increased. However, PS TKA provided better biomechanical effects than did the standard OTS TKA with malpositioning in TKA. Discussion: These results emphasize the importance of precise surgical preservation in regard to the TKA position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus whether the use of the extramedullary femoral cutting guide takes advantage over the intramedullary one in total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to compare the extramedullary femoral alignment guide system with the conventional intramedullary alignment guide system for lower limb alignment, blood loss, and operative time during total knee arthroplasty. METHODS The Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang Chinese Periodical, Google, and reference lists of all the included studies were searched for randomized controlled trials. The following parameters were compared between the extramedullary technique and the intramedullary technique: (1) lower limb coronal alignment, (2) coronal alignment of femoral component, (3) sagittal alignment of femoral component, (4) blood loss, (5) and operation time. RESULTS Four randomized controlled trials consisting of 358 knees were included in our study. There was no significant difference between the extramedullary and intramedullary groups for the lower limb coronal alignment (RR = 1.20, 95%CI 0.28~5.21, n.s.), coronal alignment of femoral component (RR = 0.65, 95%CI 0.19~2.22, n.s.), and sagittal alignment of femoral component (RR = 0.73, 95%CI 0.38~1.41, n.s.). A reduced blood loss was associated with the use of the extramedullary guide (MD = -120.34, 95%CI -210.08~-30.59, P = 0.009). No significant difference in operation time was noted between the two groups (MD = 1.41, 95%CI -1.82~4.64, n.s.). CONCLUSIONS Neither extramedullary nor intramedullary femoral alignment is more accurate than the other in facilitating the femoral cut in total knee arthroplasty. Use of the extramedullary guide results in less blood loss and exhibits a similar operation time as compared with the intramedullary guide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As adjuvant treatments for musculoskeletal malignancies improve expectations of preserved function increase. We questioned whether computer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction would improve outcomes. METHODS Twenty oncology patients were reviewed after distal femoral reconstruction using navigation. Outcomes included local recurrence, implant revision, patient function, patellofemoral complications and leg-length inequality. RESULTS Implant survivorship was 85% at 26 months. There were no local recurrences and 3 failures for aseptic loosening. Good functional outcomes were observed in remaining cases. CONCLUSION Computer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction resulted in acceptable functional outcomes and implant survivorship. Reduced local recurrence were observed at intermediate follow-up. Level of Evidence: Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not known, whether outcome reporting in trials of total joint arthroplasty in the recent years is adequate or not. Our objective was to assess whether outcomes reported in total joint replacement (TJR) trials fulfil the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Filter 2.0. METHODS We systematically reviewed all TJR trials in adults, published in English in 2008 or 2013. Searches were conducted in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and EMBASE. Two authors independently applied the inclusion criteria for the studies, and any disagreement was resolved with a third review author. All outcome measures were abstracted using a pre-piloted standardised data extraction form and assessed for whether they mapped to one of the three OMERACT Filter 2.0 core areas: pathophysiological, life impact, and death. RESULTS From 1635 trials identified, we included 70 trials (30 in 2008 and 40 in 2013) meeting the eligibility criteria. Twenty-two (31%) trials reported the three essential OMERACT core areas. Among the 27 hip replacement surgery trials and 39 knee replacement surgery trials included, 11 hip (41%) and nine knee (23%) trials reported all three essential OMERACT core areas. The most common outcome domains/measures were pain (20/27, 74%) and function (23/27, 85%) in hip trials and pain (26/39, 67%) and function (27/39, 69%) in knee trials. Results were similar for shoulder and hand joint replacement trials. CONCLUSIONS We identified significant gaps in the measurement of OMERACT core outcome areas in TJR trials, despite the majority reporting outcome domains of pain and function. An international consensus of key stakeholders is needed to develop a core domain set for reporting of TJR trials. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42014009216.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previously published literature assessing the reporting of outcome measures used in joint replacement randomized controlled trials (RCT) has revealed disappointing results. It remains unknown whether international initiatives have led to any improvement in the quality of reporting and/or a reduction in the heterogeneity of outcome measures used. Our objective was to systematically assess and compare primary outcome measures and the risk of bias in joint replacement RCT published in 2008 and 2013. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL for RCT investigating adult patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. Two authors independently identified eligible trials, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using the Cochrane tool. RESULTS Seventy RCT (30 in 2008, 40 in 2013) met the eligibility criteria. There was no significant difference in the number of trials judged to be at low overall risk of bias (n = 6, 20%) in 2008 compared with 2013 [6 (15%); chi-square = 0.302, p = 0.75]. Significantly more trials published in 2008 did not specify a primary outcome measure (n = 25, 83%) compared with 18 trials (45%) in 2013 (chi-square = 10.6316, p = 0.001). When specified, there was significant heterogeneity in the measures used to assess primary outcomes. CONCLUSION While less than a quarter of trials published in both 2008 and 2013 were judged to be at low overall risk of bias, significantly more trials published in 2013 specified a primary outcome. Although this might represent a temporal trend toward improvement, the overall frequency of primary outcome reporting and the wide heterogeneity in primary outcomes reported remain suboptimal.

Abstract
Implant alignment is an important factor affecting clinical results associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). No report exists showing the utility of an accelerometer-based portable navigation system among patients with marked femoral bowing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a portable navigation system for implant alignment in Asian patients with marked femoral bowing. The authors evaluated 142 consecutive TKAs performed for primary osteoarthritis since July 2013. A portable navigation system was used in 67 knees, and a conventional jig was used in 75 knees. The authors measured the mechanical axis and femoral/tibial component alignments on long-leg radiographs obtained 2 weeks after TKA. In addition, coronal bowing of the lower limb was evaluated. The results were analyzed in the general and marked femoral bowing subgroups. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups for demographic data. The rates of femoral component outliers in the coronal plane for the navigation system and conventional technique were 1.5% and 13.3% (P=.01), respectively. Marked femoral bowing was observed in 73 knees. In the subgroup of patients with marked femoral bowing, femoral coronal alignment and its outliers were more accurate in the navigation group (0%) than in the conventional group (16.2%) (P=.025). This is the first report to show the utility of an accelerometer-based portable navigation system for accurate prosthetic alignment among Asian patients with marked femoral bowing. The navigation system decreased outliers in coronal alignment of the femur, even in cases of marked femoral bowing, but did not increase complications. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(3):e465-e472.].

Abstract
Surgical accuracy is multifactorial. Therefore, it is crucial to consider all influencing factors when investigating the accuracy of a surgical procedure, such as the surgeon's experience, the assistive technologies that may be used by the surgeon, and the patient factors associated with the specific anatomical site. For in vitro preclinical investigations, accuracy should be linked to the concepts of trueness (e.g., distance from the surgical target) and precision (e.g., variability in relation to the surgical target) to gather preclinical, quantitative, objective data on the accuracy of completed surgical procedures that have been performed with assistive technologies. The clinical relevance of improvements in accuracy that have been observed experimentally may be evaluated by analyzing the impact on the risk of failure and by taking into account the level of tolerance in relation to the surgical target (e.g., the extent of the safety zone). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) methodology enables preclinical testing of new assistive technologies to quantify improvements in accuracy and assess the benefits in terms of reducing the risk of failure and achieving surgical targets with tighter tolerances before the testing of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine if the difference in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based 2nd generation patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) design affects post-operative restoration of neutral mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with the 1st generation PSI design and conventional surgical techniques. In addition, it is aimed at elucidating whether PSI improves surgical efficiency with respect to operating room time, estimated blood loss and the number of instrument trays used intra-operatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS We report our experience in TKA using PSI techniques in 234 patients from August 2012 to March 2015. The patients were divided into 1st (n = 64) and 2nd (n = 70) generation PSI design. The control group (n = 100) underwent TKA with the conventional instrument technique. RESULTS The mean surgical time was significantly shorter in the 2nd generation PSI design (62.1 ± 12.1 min) than in the control group (80.6 ± 21.7 min; P < 0.001). A mechanical axis malalignment of >3° of the lower limb was observed in 5.7% of the patients in 2nd generation PSI design compared with 26.0% of the control group (P = 0.006). No significant difference in mechanical alignment on post-operative long alignment radiography was found between 20.3% of the patients in 1st generation PSI design and the control group (P = 0.584). CONCLUSION The 1st generation PSI design did not have a shorter surgical time or improved alignment compared with conventional instrumentation (CI). However, the use of the perfectly fitted 2nd generation PSI design was associated with improvements in both of these measurements. This study emphasizes the importance of PSI design in intra-operative and post-operative outcomes of TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has perceived advantages in the early postoperative stage for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is not clear whether the improved radiographic alignment achieved by computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS) improves midterm clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare patient outcomes of MIS TKA performed with and without CAS after a minimum follow-up of 7 years. METHODS Between 2007 and 2009, 50 patients underwent CAS and MIS TKA, and 50 patients underwent jig-based MIS TKA in this prospective study. Ninety-six patients were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, and clinical and radiological evaluations were performed. RESULTS Midterm results demonstrated that the Knee Society knee score, function score, and range of motion were comparable in the 2 groups. The percentage of patients with the mechanical axis within ±3° of neutral was significantly higher in the CAS group than in the jig-based group (94% vs 79%, respectively; P = .038). No knees had loosening after TKA. However, 1 patient in the CAS group demonstrated late infection 4 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION CAS did not improve midterm outcomes after MIS TKA compared with jig-based surgery, although CAS reduced outliers in coronal alignment.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is unclear whether the minimally invasive navigation-assisted (MINA) or conventional (CONv) approach for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) leads to better clinical and radiographic outcomes. This meta-analysis compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the MINA and CONv approaches after primary TKA. It was hypothesized that there was no difference in clinical and radiographic outcomes between the two surgical approaches for primary TKA. METHODS This meta-analysis reviewed all studies that compared surgical time, incision length, flexion range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score ( KSS), coronal mechanical axis (CMA), and coronal femoral component angle (CFCA) with various measurement tools, from direct interview to plain radiography, between the MINA and CONv approaches. RESULTS Five studies met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. The findings of this study suggest that surgical time (95 % CI -18.51 to 39.09; n.s.), KSS (95 % CI -8.55 to 30.84; n.s.), CMA (95 % CI -1.01 to 0.54; n.s.), and CFCA (95 % CI -0.91 to 2.97; n.s.) were similar between the two surgical approaches, whereas incision length (95 % CI -5.18 to -3.69; P < 0.001) was significantly shorter in the MINA approach and flexion ROM (95 % CI 14.26-19.01; P < 0.001) was significantly greater in the MINA approach. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in clinical and radiographic outcomes, including surgical time, KSS, CMA, and CFCA, in patients who underwent MINA and CONv approach for primary TKA, but the MINA approach resulted in a slightly shorter incision length and increased flexion ROM than the CONv approach. Therefore, if particular attention has to be paid to patient's selection with appropriate counselling and surgeon's experience, MINA approach can provide early clinical benefit when compared with CONv approach. Besides, orthopaedic surgeons need to master the MINA and CONv approaches because both approaches have similar clinical and radiographic outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, Level II.

Abstract
PURPOSE This meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the effects of computer navigation on blood conservation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by comparing postoperative blood loss and need for allogenic blood transfusion in patients undergoing computer navigation and conventional primary TKAs. METHODS Studies were included in this meta-analysis if they compared change in haemoglobin concentration before and after surgery, postoperative blood loss via drainage or calculated total blood loss, and/or allogenic blood transfusion rate following TKA using computer navigation and conventional methods. For all comparisons, odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for binary outcomes, while mean difference and 95 % CI were calculated for continuous outcomes. RESULTS Twelve studies were included in this meta-analysis. The change in haemoglobin concentration was 0.39 g/dl lower with computer navigation than with conventional TKA (P = 0.006). Blood loss via drainage was 83.1 ml (P = 0.03) lower and calculated blood loss was 185.4 ml (P = 0.002) lower with computer navigation than with conventional TKA. However, the need for blood transfusion was similar for the two approaches (n.s.). CONCLUSIONS The primary TKA with computer navigation was effective in reducing haemoglobin loss and blood loss, but had no effect on transfusion requirement, compared with conventional primary TKA. These findings suggest the importance of analysing several blood loss parameters, because each may not always accurately reflect true postsurgical bleeding.

Femur bowing could be a risk factor for implant flexion in conventional total knee arthroplasty and notching in navigated total knee arthroplasty. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2016; 24:2476-82. [PMID: 26581366 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-015-3863-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2015] [Accepted: 11/05/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative femoral axes and femoral implant position and to determine how femoral sagittal axes, including femoral anterior bowing, influence the femoral component position in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS The relationship between femoral axes (femoral anterior bowing, mechanical axis and the anterior cortical line, intramedullary axis) and implant position was compared in 50 conventional and 50 navigated TKAs. Outliers with more than a 3° margin of error in placement of the femoral component compared with the mechanical axis in the sagittal plane were calculated. RESULTS The femoral component flexion angle was 3.1° in the conventional group and 1.6° in the navigation group (p < 0.001). Anterior femoral bowing correlated positively with the angle between the mechanical axis and implant (r = 0.360, p = 0.010) in the conventional group and negatively with the angle between the anterior cortical line and flange of the femoral component (r = -0.355, p = 0.010) in navigated TKAs. Incidence of outliers was 48 % (24 patients) in the conventional group compared with 10 % (five patients) in the navigated group (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Femoral anterior bowing was an influential factor for implant position and could be a risk factor for both femoral implant flexion in conventional TKAs and notching in navigated TKAs. The results of this study should be considered by surgeons when assessing the risk factors for femoral geometry before performing TKAs, as these results may help them to avoid an overly flexed or extended position of the femoral component, which would affect clinical long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main objective of this prospective randomized study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the mini-midvastus (MMV) approach with the conventional approach for total knee arthroplasty at the 5-year follow-up. METHODS Ninety-seven patients (100 knees) with osteoarthritis were assigned to the MMV group or to a group receiving conventional total knee arthroplasty. Intraoperative and postoperative clinical data were collected. At 6 weeks and at 1, 2, and 5 years postoperatively, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), the Knee Society Score (KSS), and the Short Form (SF)-12 were completed. Radiographs of the knee were made preoperatively and at 1 day and 1 and 5 years postoperatively. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS In the MMV group, the mean skin incision was 2.5 cm shorter (p < 0.001) and the mean duration of the operation was 6 minutes longer than in the conventional total knee arthroplasty group (p < 0.05). Eight patients in the conventional group had a lateral parapatellar retinacular release compared with 1 in the MMV group; the difference was significant (p = 0.01). Three intraoperative complications, including 2 small lateral femoral condylar fractures and 1 partial patellar tendon laceration, occurred in the MMV group. Seven patients in the MMV group had postoperative blisters; all of them had a relatively large femoral component and 4 of them were large men. The radiographs and CT scans of the prostheses showed no significant differences between the MMV and conventional groups except for the posterior slope of the tibial component. In addition, no significance differences were detected between the groups with respect to the KOOS, OKS, KSS, and SF-12 scores determined at the 6-week and the 1, 2, and 5-year follow-up evaluations. CONCLUSIONS In the rehabilitation period and at the short and mid-term follow-up, no relevant clinical and radiographic differences were found between the MMV and the conventional approach for total knee arthroplasty, making the advantage of MMV total knee arthroplasty cosmetic. We discourage the use of the MMV approach in large male patients because of the increased number of intraoperative complications and skin blisters postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Median parapatellar approach is the most used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). With the advent of enhanced recovery and shorter length of hospital stay, there is an increasing pressure on surgeons to perform surgery through smaller incisions. Minimally invasive (MIS) TKA allows earlier functional recovery; it is not clear if this is associated with more complications. It is also unclear if computer-assisted minimally invasive (MIS CA) TKA has any affect on improving patient outcomes. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing MIS CA vs MIS TKA. METHODS We performed an extensive literature search including both randomized controlled studies and prospective cohort studies. All data reported on component alignment, surgical time, complications, knee flexion, and postoperative functional knee scores were included for analysis. RESULTS Ten studies were suitable for inclusion resulting in 490 patients with MIS CA and 503 MIS patients. There was no significant difference in the outliers on complications, knee flexion, and postoperative functional scores. Coronal plane tibial component showed statistically significant number of outliers in the MIS group demonstrating superior component positioning in the MIS CA group. Operative time was significantly longer in the MIS CA group with a mean increase of 32 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Computer-assisted minimally invasive TKA is superior than the standard MIS TKA in terms of component positioning; however, it is unclear if this will have any long-term clinical implications. The increased operative time, although clinically relevant, does not appear to be associated with an increase in complications.

Abstract
The aim of this work was the development of a surgical assistance system based on augmented reality to support joint replacement procedures and implantation of prosthetic knee. Images of the scene were captured in order to detect the visual markers located on the lateral surface of the patient’s leg for overlapping the 3D models of the prosthesis and the joint, as well as the tool used by the medical specialist. With the marker identification, it was possible to compute its position and orientation for locating the virtual models, obtaining a monitoring system for giving accurate information about the procedure. Also it can be used as training platform for surgeons, without having volunteers or patients for performing real surgeries; instead they can train in a virtual environment. The results have shown an efficient system in terms of cost-benefit relation, taking into account the materials used for developing the system; nevertheless, the accuracy of the algorithm decreases according to the distance between the markers.

Abstract
Optimal component alignment in total knee arthroplasty has been associated with better functional outcome as well as improved implant longevity. The ability to align components optimally during minimally invasive (MIS) total knee replacement (TKR) has been a cause of concern. Computer navigation is a useful aid in achieving the desired alignment although it is limited by the error during the manual registration of landmarks. Our study aims to compare the registration process error between a standard and a MIS surgical approach. We hypothesized that performing the registration error via an MIS approach would increase the registration process error. Five fresh frozen lower limbs were routinely prepared and draped. The registration process was performed through an MIS approach. This was then extended to the standard approach and the registration was performed again. Two surgeons performed the registration process five times with each approach. Performing the registration process through the MIS approach was not associated with higher error compared to the standard approach in the alignment parameters of interest. This rejects our hypothesis. Image-free navigated MIS TKR does not appear to carry higher risk of component malalignment due to the registration process error. Navigation can be used during MIS TKR to improve alignment without reduced accuracy due to the approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have become increasingly popular for doctors and patients. They have argued that it decreases post-operative pain, accelerates functional recovery and increases patient satisfaction due to less injury. However, critics are concerned about TKA's possible effects on component position and with complications, considering the procedure's limited exposure. The purpose of this study was to summarise the best evidence in comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes between MIS and a conventional approach in TKA. METHODS Electronic databases were systematically searched to identify relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Our search strategy followed the requirements of the Cochrane Library Handbook. Methodological quality was assessed, and data were extracted independently by two authors. RESULTS Thirty studies, including 2,536 TKAs, were reviewed: 1,259 minimally invasive and 1,277 conventional exposure TKAs. The results showed that while the MIS group had longer operation times and tourniquet times, it had superior outcomes in KSS (objective and total), range of motion, flexion range of motion, flexion 90° day, straight leg-raising day, total blood loss and decrease in haemoglobin. However, wound-healing problems occurred more frequently in the MIS group. There were no statistically significant differences in other clinical or radiological outcomes between the MIS and conventional groups in TKA. CONCLUSION The preliminary results indicate that the MIS approach provides an alternative to the conventional approach, with earlier rehabilitation but no malpositioning or severe complications. Wound-healing problems can be treated easily and effectively, and the risk also decreases as surgeons become more experienced, and more user-friendly instruments are invented. Potential benefits in medium- and long-term outcomes require larger, multicentre and well-conducted RCTs to confirm. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, Level II.

Abstract
The concept of psoas impingement secondary to a tight or inflamed iliopsoas tendon causing impingement of the anterior labrum during hip extension has been suggested. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the lesser trochanteric version (LTV) in symptomatic patients with psoas impingement as compared with asymptomatic hips. The femoral neck version (FNV) and LTV were evaluated on axial magnetic resonance imaging, as well as the angle between LTV and FNV. Data from 12 symptomatic patients and 250 asymptomatic patients were analysed. The mean, range and standard deviations were calculated. Independent t-tests were used to determine differences between groups. The lesser trochanteric retroversion was significantly increased in patients with psoas impingement as compared with asymptomatic hips (−31.1° SD ± 6.5 versus −24.2° ± 11.5, P < 0.05). The FNV (9° ± 8.8 versus 14.1° ± 10.7, P > 0.05) and the angle between FNV and LTV (40.2° ± 9.7 versus 38.3° ± 9.6, P > 0.05) were not significantly different between groups. In conclusion, the lesser trochanteric retroversion is significantly increased in patients with psoas impingement as compared with asymptomatic hips.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors for being an outlier after navigated TKA and asked whether navigated TKAs with perfect coronal alignment have better functional outcomes than those without it. Alignment was measured in 124 patients (191 knees) with navigated TKAs who were available for 1year functional outcome assessment. The outcomes were compared among the 3 subgroups divided by the deviation of mechanical axis from neutral (0°): the perfect, 0° or within 1°; the acceptable, 1°-3°; and the outlier, beyond 3°. The prevalence of outliers was 20.4%, and the severity of preoperative varus deformity was the strongest predictor. Accuracy of coronal alignment in radiographs did not correlate consistently with functional outcomes.

Abstract
We compared postoperative flexion contracture in navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) versus conventional TKA. Two groups (Group 1: conventional, Group 2: navigated) of 235 consecutive patients matched for age and gender were retrospectively compared. Range of motion, mechanical axes, Knee Society Scores, Oxford Knee Scores and Short Form-36® (SF-36) scores were collected prospectively and compared preoperatively and at 2years following TKA. At 2years, patients who underwent navigated TKA averaged significantly lesser flexion contracture of 1 degree compared to 6 degrees in patients who underwent conventional TKA. There were a significantly larger proportion of outliers in the conventional group. Computer navigation results in less severe flexion contracture and less frequent flexion contracture of more than 5 degrees as compared to conventional techniques.

We evaluated 3599 primary TKA patients and 14,396 matched control patients. We further classified all patients into those with and without osteoarthritis (OA). The incidence rate of IHD was significantly higher among the TKA patients than among the matched control patients (1.13 vs 0.69 per 1000 person-months, P<.05). However, after controlling for OA, this difference was non-significant (HR=1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63-2.20, P>.05). Our study results indicate that underlying OA conditions are predominantly responsible for increased long-term risk of IHD in TKA patients.

Khakha RS, Chowdhry M, Norris M, Kheiran A, Patel N, Chauhan SK. Five-year follow-up of minimally invasive computer assisted total knee arthroplasty (MICATKA) versus conventional computer assisted total knee arthroplasty (CATKA) - A population matched study. Knee 2014; 21:944-8. [PMID: 25086899 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2014.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2014] [Revised: 06/10/2014] [Accepted: 06/21/2014] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has perceived advantages in the early post-operative stage such as reduced blood loss, decreased pain, earlier return to function and earlier discharge. The aim of our study was to confirm that longer term clinical outcome of TKA is not compromised when MIS is combined with computer assisted surgery. METHODS Eighty patients matched for age, gender, pre-operative Knee Society Score (KSS) and mechanical axis were prospectively studied. Forty patients underwent minimally invasive computer assisted total knee arthroplasty (MICATKA) and 40 patients underwent conventional computer assisted TKA (CATKA). Functional scores were determined at 6 weeks, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and 5 years post-surgery. Long-leg alignment views were obtained 3 months post-operatively. RESULTS KSSs in the short term were significantly better in the MICATKA group than in the CATKA group (p<000.1). Tourniquet-time was 58 min in the MICTKA group and 60 min in the CATKA group (p=0.3). Straight leg raise was achieved by day one in 93% of the MICATKA group compared to 30% of the CATKA group (p<0.001). Length of stay for the MICATKA group has a mean of 3.25 days and a mean of 6 days for the CATKA group (p<0.001). KSSs up to 2-years were significantly better in the MICTKA group (p<0.001). At 5-years there was no significant difference in KSSs (p=0.46) in the MICATKA and CATKA groups. CONCLUSION We confirm that the use of navigation in minimally invasive TKA permits a number of early post-operative advantages and that longer-term functional outcome is not compromised with its usage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II.

Conventional versus computer-assisted technique for total knee arthroplasty: a minimum of 5-year follow-up of 200 patients in a prospective randomized comparative trial. J Arthroplasty 2014; 29:1795-802. [PMID: 24906519 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2014.04.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2013] [Revised: 04/21/2014] [Accepted: 04/28/2014] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In the literature, studies of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after mid-term period are not conclusive and long-term data are rare. In a prospective, randomized, comparative study 100 conventional TKAs (group REG) were compared with 100 computer-assisted TKAs (group NAV). Minimum follow-up was 5years. No difference in implant failure was found with 1.1% in group NAV versus 4.6% in group REG (P=0.368). Group NAV showed a significantly less mean deviation of mechanical limb axis (P=0.015), more TKAs (90% versus 81% in group REG) were within 3° varus/valgus and a higher tibial slope and lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) accuracy was found (P≤0.034). Clinical investigational parameters showed no differences (P≥0.058). Insall and HSS score total were also higher in group NAV (P≤0.016).

[PMID: 24997671 PMCID: PMC4100567 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-014-0051-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2014] [Accepted: 06/16/2014] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to determine whether postoperative sagittal component alignments of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the conventional and navigated technique differed significantly. Additionally, we determined whether the use of navigation systems resulted in hyperextension of the femoral components in Chinese patients. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed 36 consecutive patients (72 knees) who underwent simultaneous bilateral primary TKAs at our hospital from February 2011 to March 2012. One knee was replaced using a computer-assisted navigation system, and the contralateral knee was replaced with the conventional technique. The radiographic and clinical results of both groups were compared. The relationship between preoperative anatomic angles and component alignments in conventional TKA and navigated TKA was examined. RESULTS The radiographic results showed statistically significant differences only between the navigated and conventional groups for individual femoral coronal and sagittal component alignment. Femoral sagittal component alignment showed less deviation and tended to have hyperextension using the navigated technique (-0.35°) compared with the conventional technique (2.77°). There was no significant difference observed for the Knee Society Score (KSS) between the two groups at 2 years postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The sagittal component alignment of primary TKA obtained using the conventional and navigated techniques differed significantly. Navigated TKAs resulted in a higher risk of hyperextension of the femoral components in Chinese patients.
