[PMID: 39114416 PMCID: PMC11304090 DOI: 10.21037/aoj-24-2] [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: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of interconnected conditions, including insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood lipid levels. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of MetS on the quality of life and clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods A retrospective descriptive study was conducted to enroll OA patients who underwent primary TKA at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from January 2015 to August 2019. A total of 83 OA patients who did and 144 (MetS group) who did not have MetS (non-MetS group) were included. An analysis was conducted on the patient's clinical data. Results The two groups had similar results in terms of lengths of stay (P=0.93), hospital costs (P=0.24), and overall complication rates (P=0.99). There was no significant difference in the average erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels between the groups. However, the MetS group exhibited notably lower Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores and Short Form [36] health survey (SF-36) scores compared to the non-MetS group (both P>0.05) during the one-year follow-up period. Conclusions OA patients who have MetS had significantly worse knee joint function and quality of life after TKA. There are certain constraints in the current research. First, it belongs to a single-center retrospective study. Further study will be necessary to determine the generality of this conclusion. Second, this study is retrospective, and the number of patients included is not large. Third, due to the diverse clinical groups in our hospital, it is challenging to comprehensively document all the clinical data of the patients involved in this study. Forth, this study did not compare the preoperative differences between the two groups, as well as analyze the postoperative improvement changes in depth. We will compare the preoperative and postoperative differences between the two groups in more depth in future large sample studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, some payers have limited access to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to patients who have Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 4 osteoarthritis only. This study compared the outcomes of patients who have KL grade 3 and 4 osteoarthritis after TKA to determine if this new policy is justified. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a series originally established to collect outcomes for a single, cemented implant design. A total of 152 patients underwent primary, unilateral TKA at two centers from 2014 to 2016. Only patients who had KL grade 3 (n = 69) or 4 (n = 83) osteoarthritis were included. There was no difference in age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, or preoperative Knee Society Score (KSS) between the groups. Patients who had KL grade 4 disease had a higher body mass index. KSS and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were collected preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. Generalized linear models were used to compare outcomes. RESULTS Controlling for demographics, improvements in KSS were comparable between the groups at all time points. There was no difference in KSS, FJS, and the proportion that achieved the patient acceptable symptom state for FJS at 2 years. CONCLUSION Patients who had KL grade 3 and 4 osteoarthritis experienced similar improvement at all time points up to 2 years after primary TKA. There is no justification for payers to deny access to surgical treatment for patients who have KL grade 3 osteoarthritis and have otherwise failed nonoperative treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Although pain phenotype affects clinical score in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), little information has been available on the relationship between pain phenotype and gait analysis. The purpose was to investigate the relationship between pain phenotype and gait parameters. Methods A total of 34 patients (24 females and 10 males) with end-stage medial compartmental knee OA participated. All the patients were evaluated based on pain detect questionnaire (PD-Q) and pain catastrophizing scale (PCS). They were divided into two categories: Group Low (PD-Q score ≤ 12) and Group High (PD-Q score > 12), PCS + (PCS ≥ 23) and PCS- (PCS < 23). Gait analysis was performed using three-dimensional motion analysis system. Statistical analysis was done to compare gait parameters between groups for each allocation of PD-Q or PCS, separately. Results Peak vertical ground reaction forces in Group Low and High were 0.99 ± 0.054 and 0.82 ± 0.17, respectively (P = 0.015). Peak knee adduction moments in Group Low and High were 0.70 ± 0.19 and 0.39 ± 0.14, respectively (P = 0.0022). For PCS allocation, knee extension limitation during mid-stance during gait were significantly larger in PCS- (P = 0.038). Conclusions Patients with high PD-Q score had atypical gait pattern with smaller peak vertical ground reaction force and knee adduction moment, compared to patients with low PD-Q score. Moreover, patient with low PCS had different gait pattern in extension limitation, compared to those with high PCS. PD-Q and PCS would affect gait pattern in patients with knee OA. Level of evidence: III.

Babazadeh S, Spelman TD, Dowsey MM, Choong PFM. Low grade of radiographic osteoarthritis predicts unsatisfactory response of the contralateral knee replacement in two-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2022; 30:875-881. [PMID: 33528593 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-021-06465-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE It is difficult to counsel patients with bilateral osteoarthritis who are unsatisfied with their first knee replacement as to whether they are likely to have a better outcome after the contralateral knee is replaced. The purpose of this study was to determine whether predictive factors can be found to prognosticate outcome of the second-side knee replacement when a patient has an unsatisfactory response to the first, with the hypothesis that predictors, such as prosthetic factors and radiographic level of osteoarthritis, may be able to predict a satisfactory response to the contralateral knee replacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS An analysis of staged bilateral knee replacements performed at a tertiary arthroplasty centre from 2012 to 2018 was undertaken. A total of 550 knee replacements in 275 patients were included in this study. The primary variable measured was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score. Satisfactory response to surgery was defined as a WOMAC score improved by 17 points or more, and 56 or greater. Patients who did not achieve a satisfactory response with their first knee replacement were further analysed for predictive factors (age, sex, pre-operative score, mental score, socioeconomic status, type of prosthesis, use of navigation, patella resurfacing and radiographic osteoarthritis) of an unsatisfactory response for their contralateral knee replacement. RESULTS Overall, 44 (16%) patients failed to achieve a satisfactory response from both their first and contralateral knee replacements. The factor most predictive of an unsatisfactory response to their first knee replacement was pre-operative mental health score. However, in patients who did not achieve a satisfactory response with their first knee replacement, radiographic osteoarthritis, as measured by the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score was the main predictor of satisfactory response for their contralateral knee replacement. Only patients with KL grade 4 osteoarthritis were likely to have a satisfactory response with their contralateral knee replacements (KL4 versus KL3, Odds ratio 3.57 (CI 1.26-10.03) p = 0.016*). Patients with KL grade 3 osteoarthritis were unlikely to have a satisfactory response, and in this series, no patient with KL grade 2 osteoarthritis had a satisfactory response. CONCLUSION In a patient who has an unsatisfactory response to their first knee replacement, the best predictor of achieving a satisfactory response to his/her contralateral knee replacement is the level of radiographic osteoarthritis in that knee.

Mild radiographic osteoarthritis is associated with increased pain and dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty when compared with severe osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2022; 30:965-981. [PMID: 33604736 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-021-06487-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The association between severity of radiographic osteoarthritis with patient pain, function, and satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty has been disputed. The discrepancies in current literature prompt us to further examine this association in a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The OVID-Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from their inception up to Mar 2020. The main independent variable was osteoarthritis severity as defined by preoperative radiographs. The outcomes measured were pain, function and satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty. A minimum of three studies assessing the same patient-reported outcome measures were included in the meta-analysis, as well as those separating patients by chronic pain or dissatisfaction. RESULTS 29 studies were included in this study. Significant heterogeneity was seen between radiographic evaluation and reported outcomes. Patients with only mild radiographic osteoarthritis were more likely to suffer from chronic pain (odds ratio = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.80-3.34, p < 0.001) and dissatisfaction (odds ratio = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.79-3.31, p < 0.001) compared to patients with severe osteoarthritis. A significant association was found between mild radiographic severity and lower total Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis scores (95% CI = - 0.37-0.06, p = 0.006) as well as Knee Society Scores (CI: - 0.54-0.16, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with mild radiographic osteoarthritis are anticipated to gain less from total knee arthroplasty compared to those with severe osteoarthritis. They are also at risk for chronic pain and dissatisfaction and should be consulted about this risk prior to surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.
