AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine in vivo knee kinematics and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent fixed- and mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 1- and 2-year follow-up. This prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial was performed from November 2011 to December 2012. A total of 64 patients were randomized to fixed- and mobile-bearing TKA groups (32 patients in each group). All patients were evaluated with the following: three-dimensional in vivo knee kinematics analysis during gait, stepping up and stepping down stair steps, and getting up from and sitting on a chair; and knee range of motion and patient-reported outcome measures (Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living Scale [KOS-ADLS] and pain visual analog scale [VAS]) at 1- and 2-year follow-up. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, and percentages) were calculated for all variables. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to test if variables were normally distributed. A Student's t-test was used to compare continuous variables between patients in the two groups. The chi-square test was used to compare the groups with respect to categorical variables. The α level for statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The mean axial tibiofemoral rotation in patients who underwent mobile-bearing TKA was significantly higher during gait (13.3 vs. 10.7), stepping up (12.8 vs. 10) stair steps, and getting up (16.1 vs. 12.1) from a chair compared with fixed-bearing TKA patients at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.05). KOS-ADLS function score was significantly higher in the mobile-bearing compared with the fixed-bearing TKA group (32 vs. 27.7) at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.05). No significant difference in kinematics and clinical outcomes between fixed- and mobile-bearing TKA groups was observed at 2-year follow-up (p > 0.05). Based on the results of this study, mobile-bearing TKA allowed a higher degree of rotation when walking, stepping up stair steps, and standing up from a chair, and had higher functional outcomes compared with fixed-bearing TKA at 1-year follow-up. However, no difference in in vivo kinematics or in clinical outcomes was observed between fixed- and mobile-bearing prostheses at 2-year follow-up.

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Outcomes of total ankle replacement for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis continue to improve. Debate continues whether a mobile-bearing total ankle replacement (MB-TAR) or a fixed-bearing total ankle replacement (FB-TAR) is superior, with successful outcomes reported longterm for MB-TAR and at intermediate-to-longterm follow-up for newer generation FB-TAR. Although comparisons between the two total ankle designs have been reported, to our knowledge, no investigation has compared the two designs with a high level of evidence. This prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at a single institution compares patient satisfaction, functional outcomes and radiographic results of the mobile-bearing STAR and the fixed-bearing Salto-Talaris in the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Methods: This investigation was approved by our institution’s IRB committee. Between November 2011 and November 2014, adult patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis failing nonoperative treatment were introduced to the study. With informed consent, 100 patients (31 male and 69 female, average age 65, range 35 to 85) were enrolled; demographic comparison between the two cohorts was similar. Exclusion criteria included inflammatory arthropathy, neuropathy, weight exceeding 250 pounds, radiographic coronal plane deformity greater than 15 degrees or extensive talar dome wear pattern (“flat top talus”). Prospective patient-reported outcomes, physical exam and standardized weightbearing ankle radiographs were obtained preoperatively, at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, and then at yearly intervals. Data collection included visual analog pain score (VAS), short form 36 (SF-36), foot and ankle disability index (FADI), short musculoskeletal functional assessment (SMFA) and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score. Surgeries were performed by non-design team orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists with total ankle replacement expertise. Statistically analysis was performed by a qualified statistician. Results: At average follow-up of 4.5 years (range 2-6 years) complete clinical data and radiographs were available for 84 patients; 7 had incomplete data, one had died, 4 were withdrawn after enrolling but prior to surgery and 4 were lost to follow-up. In all outcome measures, the entire cohort demonstrated statistically significant improvements from preoperative evaluation to most recent follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in improvement in clinical outcomes between the two groups. Radiographically, tibial lucency/cyst formation was 26.8% and 20.9% for MB-TAR and FB-TAR, respectively. Tibial settling/subsidence occurred in 7.3% of MB-TAR. Talar lucency/cyst formation occurred in 24.3% and 2.0% of MB-TAR and FB-TAR, respectively. Talar subsidence was observed in 21.9% and 2.0% of MB-TAR and FB-TAR, respectively. Re-operations were performed in 8 MB-TAR and 3 FB-TAR, with the majority of procedures being to relieve impingement or treat cysts and not to revise or remove metal implants. Conclusion: For the first time, with a high level of evidence, our study confirms that patient reported and clinical outcomes are favorable for both designs and that there is no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two implants. The incidence of lucency/cyst formation was similar for MB-TAR and FB-TAR for the tibial component, but the MB-TAR had greater talar lucency/cyst formation and tibial and talar subsidence. As has been suggested in previous studies, clinical outcomes do not correlate with radiographic findings. Re-operations were more common for MB-TAR and in the majority of cases were to relieve impingement or treat cysts rather than revise or remove metal implants.

Total knee arthroplasty using navigation system is known to be more effective than conventional methods in achieving more accurate bone resection and neutral alignment.1 Mobile bearing is also known to reduce wear and automatically correct rotational malalignment of the tibia but the long-term follow-up results of more than 10 years are extremely rare.2, 3 The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of clinical and radiologic long-term follow-up and complications of total knee arthroplasty using navigation and multi-directional mobile bearing.From 2003 to 2006, a total of 111 navigation TKAs using multi-directional mobile bearing design were carried out and reviewed retrospectively. TKAs were performed by two experienced surgeons at one institute. Of the 111 patients, 102 were women and 9 were men. The mean duration of follow-up was 11.4 ± 1.0 years (range, 10.1 to 14.08 years). Clinical outcomes were evaluated in terms of Knee Society Score, Hospital for Special Surgery score, Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) score, range of motion and complications. Long-term radiological outcomes and survival rates were evaluated at least 10 years.Average preoperative HSS score was 66.5 ± 9.8 and KSS pain and function score were 25.0 ± 11.8 and 44.5 ± 12.3, respectively. Scores improved to 94.1 ± 8.2, 46.6 ± 11.6 and 88.2 ± 14.6 at the last follow up, respectively. Mean preoperative WOMAC scores of 75.8 ± 16.5 improved to 13.8 ± 16.0 at last follow-up. Five knees required re-operation, two for liner breakage, one for liner wear, one for distal femoral fracture and one for infection. The estimated 10-year prosthesis survival rates for any reason and for prosthesis-related problems were 95.5% and 97.4% , respectively.TKAs using each techniques resulted in similar good clinical outcomes and postoperative leg alignments. Robotic and navigation TKA appeared to reduce the number of postoperative leg alignment outliers and revision rate compared to conventional TKA.

AbstractPrior studies have reported a negative effect on both clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) following joint line elevation (JLE) in cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and posterior stabilized (PS) TKA designs. This experimental study was aimed to quantify the effect of JLE on in vivo knee kinematics in patients with bicruciate retaining (BCR) TKA during strenuous activities. Thirty unilateral BCR TKA patients were evaluated during single-leg deep lunge and sit-to-stand using a validated combined computer tomography and dual fluoroscopic imaging system. Correlation analysis was performed to quantify any correlations between JLE and in vivo kinematics, as well as PROMS. There was a significant negative correlation between JLE and maximum flexion angle during single-leg deep lunge (ρ = −0.34, p = 0.02), maximum varus joint angles during single-leg deep lunge (ρ = −0.37, p = 0.04), and sit-to-stand (ρ = −0.29, p = 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between JLE and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (ρ = −0.39, p = 0.01) and knee disability and osteoarthritis outcome score physical function (KOOS-PS; ρ = −0.33, p = 0.03). The JLE that yields a significant loss in PROMS and maximum flexion angles were 2.6 and 2.3 mm, respectively. There was a linear negative correlation of JLE with both in vivo knee kinematics and PROMS, with changes in JLE of greater than 2.6 and 2.3 mm, leading to a clinically significant loss in PROMS and maximum flexion angles, respectively, suggesting an increased need to improve surgical precision to optimize patient outcomes following BCR TKA.
