Aims and Objectives: The debate of cruciate retaining (CR) versus posterior stabilized (PS) designs in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is ongoing. With the posterior cruciate ligament retained, the TKA is supposed to function better in terms of proprioception, balance and kinematics. In contrast to that, PS designs are supposed to lead to higher degrees of flexion and a better femoral rollback. It is known, that the preoperative deformity negatively correlates with inferior results following TKA. When balancing a valgus knee, Ranawat et al. suggest to address the PCL in the first place. It is known that in 60% of valgus knees 1-2 soft tissue releases are necessary in order to achieve neutral alignment. Up to date no study exists, reporting the outcome of CR versus PS TKA in valgus knees. Thus, it was purpose of this study to evaluate the mid term outcome of CR versus PS TKA for the treatment of valgus OA in groups between 3°-6° of valgus, 7-10° of valgus and >10° of valgus. Materials and Methods: With the KOOS score as the primary endpoint, a sample size of 117 cases (78 CR and 39 PS) was needed in order to get a statistical power of 80%.Between 01-2011 and 03-2014 a total of 248 patients with a preoperative valgus >3° were treated with a CR TKA (167 cases) or a PS TKA (81 cases) of the same manufacturer (Stryker Triathlon, Stryker, Kalamazoo USA). CR patients were divided into the following groups: Preoperative valgus >3°-6°, 7°-10° and >10°. PS patients were divided into the following groups: Preoperative valgus >3°-6°, 7°-10° and >10°. The KOOS Score and the Oxford Knee score was collected at the time of follow up. For the CR and PS group failure rates and failure etiologies were analyzed. Patients demographics and were collected as well. Results: 141 patients were included into this study (97 CR and 44 PS cases). The CR group had a mean follow up of 57 weeks, the PS group had a follow up of 52weeks. In the CR group, 11/97 (11%) patients were revised due to a.p. instability, whereas 2/44 (5%) patients were revised in the PS group due to infection or aseptic loosening. There was no difference regarding OKS and the KOOS score between the two groups. Further, there was no difference regarding patients demographics and no correlation between the BMI and the clinical outcome. Conclusion: The most important findings of this study are that the CR group showed a significant higher early revision rate, whereas the clinical mid term follow up results are equal. The CR version of the used system showed significantly higher early failure due to a.p. instability.

The Impact

Aims Recent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs have featured more anatomical morphologies and shorter tibial keels. However, several reports have raised concerns about the impact of these modifications on implant longevity. The aim of this study was to report the early performance of a modern, cemented TKA design. Methods All patients who received a primary, cemented TKA between 2012 and 2017 with a minimum two-year follow-up were included. The implant investigated features an asymmetrical tibial baseplate and shortened keel. Patient demographic details, Knee Society Scores (KSS), component alignment, and the presence of radiolucent lines at final follow-up were recorded. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to estimate survivorship. Results A total of 720 of 754 primary TKAs (95.5%) were included with a mean follow-up of 3.9 years (SD 1.3); 562 (78.1%) were cruciate-retaining and 158 (21.9%) were posterior-stabilized. A total of 11 (1.5%) required reoperation for periprosthetic joint infection and seven (1.0%) for aseptic tibial loosening (five cruciate-retaining, two posterior-stabilized). Loosening occurred at a mean of 3.3 years (0.9 to 6.5). There were no cases of loosening in the 33 patients who received a 14 mm × 30 mm tibial stem extension. All-cause survivorship was 96.6% at three years (95% confidence interval (CI) 95.3% to 98.0%) and 96.2% at five years (95% CI 94.8% to 97.7%). Survivorship with revision for aseptic loosening was 99.6% at three years (95% CI 99.1% to 100.0%) and 99.1% at five years (95% CI 98.4% to 99.9%). Tibial components were in significantly more varus in those with aseptic loosening (mean 3.4° (SD 3.7°) vs 1.3° (SD 2.0°); p = 0.015). There were no other differences in demographic, radiological, or surgical characteristics between revised and non-revised TKAs for aseptic loosening (p = 0.293 to 1.00). Mean KSS improved significantly from 57.3 (SD 9.5) preoperatively to 92.6 (SD 8.9) at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). Conclusion This is the largest series to date of this design of implant. At short-term follow-up, the rate of aseptic tibial loosening is not overly concerning. Further observation is required to determine if there will be an abnormal rate of loosening at mid- to long-term follow-up. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(6 Supple A):51–58.

Tibiofemoral Alignment

Background Posterior stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is advocated in severe varus osteoarthritic (OA) knees as the posterior cruciate ligament posed challenges in gap balancing. However, there is scarcity in the literature to illustrate the superiority of PS TKA over cruciate retaining (CR) TKA. Our study aims to compare the outcomes between CR and PS TKAs in patients with severe varus OA knees. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent primary TKA for OA knee from 2003 to 2013. Patients with OA knees of varus tibiofemoral angle ≥15 were matched into two groups (Group CR and PS) according to age, gender, and body mass index and compared in terms of clinical (tibiofemoral alignment, range of motion, and revision rate) and functional outcome (Knee Society Scoring, Oxford Knee Score, Short Form-36 Health Survey). Results: Both Group CR ( n = 56) and PS ( n = 56) had similar pre-operative scores. Both groups achieved correction of tibiofemoral alignment from median pre-operative varus of 17.6/17.0 (CR/PS) ( p = .279) to median post-operative valgus of 4.9/4.0 (CR/PS) ( p = .408). Over 24 months, both groups were comparable in achieving significant improvement in clinical and functional outcomes. No case of revision surgery was reported (median follow-up months; CR: 65, PS: 74, p = .549). Conclusion: Both CR and PS TKAs perform similarly well in severe varus OA knee up to 2 years post-operation. Further studies are warranted to assess the long-term outcome between the two implant designs.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes between medial-pivotal (MP) insert and double-high (DH) insert used under cruciate-retaining condition in ADVANCE® total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The follow-up was conducted for 158 consecutive patients underwent unilateral ADVANCE® TKA from January 2011 to April 2014. 84 MP inserts and 74 DH inserts were used under cruciate-retaining condition. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed between MP insert and DH insert to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes. Results After a 1:1 PSM, 120 patients (60 pairs) were matched between MP insert and DH insert. The baseline demographic parameters and clinical scores were comparable between the two groups. The postoperative clinical outcomes at an averaged 8-year follow-up of both groups were significantly improved. The range of motion (ROM) of DH group was better than that of MP group and equivalent Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) between the two groups was found. However, the Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) of MP group were found to be significantly superior than those of DH group. Comparable complication rate and revision rate were observed between the two groups. The radiographic results were also equally good between MP and DH group. Conclusions Although the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of DH insert are fairly good, the clinical scores of DH group were worse than those of MP group.
