Aims A significant percentage of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to determine whether the sequential addition of accelerometer-based navigation for femoral component preparation and sensor-guided ligament balancing improved complication rates, radiological alignment, or patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) compared with a historical control group using conventional instrumentation. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 371 TKAs performed by a single surgeon sequentially. A historical control group, with the use of intramedullary guides for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided ligament balancing, was compared with a group using accelerometer-based navigation for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided balancing (group 1), and one using navigated femoral resection and sensor-guided balancing (group 2). Primary outcome measures were Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) scores measured preoperatively and at six weeks and 12 months postoperatively. The position of the components and the mechanical axis of the limb were measured postoperatively. The postoperative range of motion (ROM), haematocrit change, and complications were also recorded. Results There were 194 patients in the control group, 103 in group 1, and 74 in group 2. There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between the groups. Patients in group 2 had significantly higher baseline mental health subscores than control and group 1 patients (53.2 vs 50.2 vs 50.2, p = 0.041). There were no significant differences in any PROMs at six weeks or 12 months postoperatively (p > 0.05). There was no difference in the rate of manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA), complication rates, postoperative ROM, or blood loss. There were fewer mechanical axis outliers in groups 1 and 2 (25.2%, 14.9% respectively) versus control (28.4%), but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.10). Conclusion The sequential addition of navigation of the distal femoral cut and sensor-guided ligament balancing did not improve short-term PROMs, radiological outcomes, or complication rates compared with conventional techniques. The costs of these added technologies may not be justified. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(6 Supple A):24–30.

The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy in performing a femoral resection and the existence of a learning curve in conducting TKA using the KneeAlign2 system. 86 primary TKAs were enrolled in this prospective study. These patients were divided in two groups.Group1: patients operated by surgeon of experience using the KneeAlign2 system more than 30 cases.Group2: patients operated by surgeons of experience using the KneeAlign2 system less than 30 cases. The radiographic results (alignment of the femoral component) and operation time were compared between the groups. There were no significant differences between the groups .The KneeAlign2 system provides usefulness in performing an accurate distal femoral resection at TKA. As the learning curve does not be observed, this portable navigation system is easy to handle even for less experienced surgeons.

Abstract Background Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in adults and is usually located in the long bones. Standard treatment consists of perioperative chemotherapy and radical surgical resection. Limb-sparing surgery using a variety of reconstructive techniques remains the gold standard. Methods In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 90 adult patients operated at our institution between 2000 and 2017 for extremity osteosarcoma that underwent limb-sparing reconstruction with the megaprosthesis. Sixty-one patients underwent resection and reconstruction of the distal femur, 9 patients—proximal femur, 7 patients—proximal tibia, 5 patients—total femoral resection and reconstruction, 5 patients—proximal humeral resection, and 3 patients—other types of resection with endoprosthetic reconstruction. The median follow-up time was 41 months, median overall survival was 86 months (3–225 months), and progression-free survival was 81 months (1–86 months). Functional assessment was made on 48 out of 56 living patients, after endoprosthetic reconstruction. The assessment was made according to MSTS functional scale. Results In 14 cases (15%), the endoprosthesis had to be explanted, or amputation was performed for local recurrence or septic complication. Due to a mechanical failure of the implant, we had to perform a revision in 5 patients (5%). Eighteen out of 74 patients with endoprosthesis died of the disease. The median MSTS score was 84% (53–100%), and the best result of 85% was achieved in patients after distal femoral resection with endoprosthetic reconstruction. Conclusion Careful planning of the treatment of patients with extremity osteosarcoma that is performed at the referral centers gives the possibility of long-term survival with a good and excellent functional result.

Abstract Background Prosthetic reconstruction for distal femoral osteosarcoma is challenging for younger children. We herein report a successful case of limb-sparing surgery for a younger patient with distal femoral osteosarcoma requiring osteo-articular resection. Case presentation A 5-year-old girl with high-grade conventional osteosarcoma in the left distal femur underwent a series of surgeries. After three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, limb-salvage surgery was planned because femoral rotationplasty had been refused. At 6 years and 2 months old, distal femoral resection and temporary spacer insertion using a 7-mm-diameter intramedullary nail and molded polymethylmethacrylate was performed. At 7 years and 8 months old, secondary surgery was performed because the first spacer had been dislocated and the residual femur became atrophic. The distal end of the residual femur was removed by 1 cm, but the periosteum and induced membrane around polymethylmethacrylate was preserved. In order to stabilize the spacer against the tibia, a custom-made ceramic spacer with a smooth straight 8-mm-diameter stem was utilized. The bone-spacer junction was fixed with polymethylmethacrylate and then covered with the preserved periosteum and induced membrane. After surgery, the bone atrophy improved. At 9 years and 7 months old, the second spacer was removed because it had loosened, and the knee joint was reconstructed using a custom-made growing femoral prosthesis with a curved porous 8.5-mm-diameter stem. Cancellous bone tips from the proximal tibia were grafted around the bone-prosthesis junction underneath the induced membrane. At 10 years and 5 months old, the patient was able to walk unsupported and a radiograph showed further thickening of the cortex of the residual femur without any stress shielding. Although having 5 cm of limb length discrepancy, the patient and her mother were satisfied with the function. The MSTS score was 24 out of 30 points. Repeated limb length extensions are planned. Conclusions This case report provides an example of limb-salvage surgery after distal femoral resection in a small child. The use of a temporary spacer utilizing partial cementation and preservation of the periosteum and induced membrane appears to afford a viable limb-salvage option after distal femoral resection for younger children.
