Effect of joint line orientation parameters on initial bone resection in mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective clinicoradiological correlation study.
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2023 March 25
BACKGROUND: Discrepancies in bone resection between the medial and lateral compartments are very common in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when mechanical alignment (MA) is used. The purpose of this study was to explore whether and how joint line orientation affects the initial bone resection in mechanically aligned TKA.
METHODS: A total of 194 patients (225 knees) diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) were included. Virtual bone resection was conducted in the coronal view using full-length weight-bearing radiographs according to the technical requirements of MA, and the reliability of the virtual resection was verified via intraoperative caliper measurements. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted between the initial bone resection within the extension gap (EG) and various parameters, including the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), joint line congruence angle (JLCA), and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA). Moreover, the correlation between intraoperative bone resection adjustments and joint line orientation parameters was also investigated.
RESULTS: All knees in the current case series were artificially divided into 4 subgroups: subgroup 1, containing 148 varus knees (65.8%) with valgus femurs; subgroup 2, containing 48 varus knees (21.3%) with varus femurs; subgroup 3, containing 17 valgus knees (7.6%) with varus tibias; and subgroup 4, containing 12 valgus knees (5.3%) with valgus tibias. In subgroup 1, the mLDFA and MPTA were positively correlated with the initial bone resection with regression coefficients of 0.670 and 0.089, respectively. Moreover, in all varus knees, intraoperative bone resection adjustments were negatively correlated with mLDFA and MPTA, with categorical regression coefficients of -0.426 and - 0.230, respectively.
CONCLUSION: When MA-TKAs are performed in varus knees with valgus femurs, the initial bone resection within the EG is mainly positively correlated with mLDFA, while the intraoperative bone resection adjustment is significantly correlated with mLDFA and MPTA in all varus knees.
