<p><strong>Introducción:</strong> el deseje en valgo es una deformidad compleja, con alteración ósea y de partes blandas. Se han descripto numerosas técnicas quirúrgicas que detallan la secuencia de liberación de las estructuras pósterolaterales y la necesidad de utilizar implantes constreñidos. El Reemplazo Total de Rodilla (RTR) para el genu valgo continúa siendo un desafío para el ortopedista. Los objetivos fueron evaluar nuestros resultados en el tratamiento quirúrgico del genu valgo severo, y detallar la técnica quirúrgica empleada.</p><p><strong>Materiales y Método:</strong> se estableció una clasificación clínico-radiológica y se discriminaron los casos con genu valgo severo. Se evaluaron 42 RTR en 39 pacientes, con un seguimiento promedio de 9,2 años. Se utilizó el Score de la Sociedad de Rodilla como parámetro de evaluación clínica. Para la evaluación radiográfica, se contó con la radiografía de mejor calidad del último control. El análisis de sobrevida contempló la necesidad de revisión por cualquier causa y por falla mecánica.</p><p><strong>Resultados:</strong> el Score de la Sociedad de Rodilla fue en promedio de 83,3, con franca mejoría en los parámetros dolor y rango de movilidad. Se utilizaron implantes constreñidos en el 16,7% de los casos. La angulación postoperatoria promedio fue de 5,9°. Se efectuaron 2 revisiones, con una sobrevida protésica por falla mecánica del 97,6%. No tuvimos casos de revisión por causa infecciosa.</p><p><strong>Conclusión:</strong> se requiere un minucioso examen físico y radiografías preoperatorias. La decisión de utilizar implante constreñido es intraoperatoria. Es importante realizar una apropiada liberación de partes blandas. Independientemente de la técnica quirúrgica empleada, el requerimiento de prótesis constreñida es bajo. Recomendamos nuestra técnica por tratarse de un procedimiento poco demandante con resultados alentadores a mediano y largo plazo.</p>

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate whether manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) affect clinical outcome including range of motion (ROM) and patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is hypothesized that MUA improves clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction after primary TKA. This retrospective study analyzed 97 patients who underwent staged bilateral primary TKA. MUA of knee flexion more than 120 degrees was performed a week after index surgery just before operation of the opposite site. The first knees with MUA were classified as the MUA group and the second knees without MUA as the control group. ROM, Knee Society Knee Score, Knee Society Functional Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score, and patient satisfaction were assessed. Postoperative flexion was significantly greater in the MUA group during 6 months follow-up (6 weeks: 111.6 vs. 99.8 degrees, p < 0.001; 3 months: 115.9 vs. 110.2 degrees, p = 0.001; 6 months: 120.2 vs. 117.0 degrees, p = 0.019). Clinical outcomes also showed similar results with knee flexion during 2 years follow-up. Patient satisfaction was significantly high in the MUA group during 12 months (3 months: 80.2 vs. 71.5, p < 0.001; 6 months: 85.8 vs. 79.8, p < 0.001; 12 months: 86.1 vs. 83.9, p < 0.001; 24 months: 86.6 vs. 85.5, p = 0.013). MUA yielded improvement of clinical outcomes including ROM, and patient satisfaction, especially in the early period after TKA. MUA in the first knee could be taken into account to obtain early recovery and to improve patient satisfaction in staged bilateral TKA.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to determine the mid-term clinical, radiographic and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes and define the survival rate in patients who had undergone revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the single rotating hinged knee (RHK) design. Methods Between January 2004 and December 2013, 125 revision TKAs were performed at our institution using the single RHK implant. We conducted both a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected outcome data of these patients and a prospective follow-up study of all 39 living patients (41 knees). The follow-up phase included an optional extra follow-up visit, PROM questionnaires, and plain radiographs. Results The ten-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate of the revision RHK knees was 81.7% (95% CI 71.9–91.6%) with re-revision for any reason as the endpoint. Overall, 15 knees (12% of the total) underwent re-revision surgery during the follow-up. The median follow-up was 6.2 years (range, 0–12.7 years) post-operatively for the baseline group. One mechanical hinge mechanism-related failure occurred without any history of trauma or infection. At the time of the final follow-up, the majority of patients evinced a fairly good clinical outcome measured with patient-reported outcome measures and none of the components were radiographically loose. Conclusion We found that in patients undergoing complex revision TKA, fairly good functional outcome and quality of life can be achieved using an RHK implant. Further, it seems that in this type of patient cohort, revision TKA using an RHK implant relieves pain more than it improves ability to function. The NexGen® RHK design can be regarded as a suitable option in complex revision TKA.

Background:No widely accepted view or criteria currently exist concerning whether or not patellar replacement (resurfacing) should accompany total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the knee.1)2)3)Objectives:We recently devised our own criteria for application of patellar replacement and performed selective patellar replacement in accordance with this set of criteria. The clinical outcome was analyzed.Methods:The study involved 1150 knees on which total knee arthroplasty was performed between 2005 and 2019 because of osteoarthritis of the knee. The mean age at operation was 73, and the mean postoperative follow-up period was 91 months. Our criteria for application of patellar replacement are given below. Criterion A pertains to evaluation of preoperative clinical symptoms related to the patellofemoral joint: (a) interview regarding presence/absence of pain around the patella, (b) cracking or pain heard or felt when standing up from a low chair, (c) pain when going upstairs/downstairs. Because it is difficult for individual patients to identify the origin of pain (patellofemoral joint or femorotibial joint), the examiner advised each patient about the location of the patellofemoral joint when checking for these symptoms. Criterion B pertains to intense narrowing or disappearance of the patellofemoral joint space on preoperative X-ray of the knee. Criterion C pertains to the intraoperatively assessed extent of patellar cartilage degeneration corresponding to class 4 of the Outerbridge classification. Patellar replacement was applied to cases satisfying at least one of these sets of criteria (A-a,-b,-c, B and C). Postoperatively, pain of the patellofemoral joint was evaluated again at the time of the last observation, using Criterion A-a,-b,-c.Results:Patellar replacement was applied to 110 knees in accordance with the criteria mentioned above. There were 82 knees satisfying at least one of the Criterion sets A-a,-b,-c, 39 knees satisfying Criterion B and 70 knees satisfying Criterion C. (Some knees satisfied 2 or 3 of Criteria A, B and C).When the pain originating from patellofemoral joint (Criterion A) was clinically assessed at the time of last observation, pain was not seen in any knee of the replacement group and the non-replacement group.Conclusion:Whether or not patellar replacement is needed should be determined on the basis of the symptoms or findings related to the patellofemoral joint, and we see no necessity of patellar replacement in cases free of such symptoms/findings. When surgery was performed in accordance with the criteria on patellar replacement as devised by us, the clinical outcome of the operated patellofemoral joint was favorable, although the follow-up period was not long. Although further follow-up is needed, the results obtained indicate that selective patellar replacement yields favorable outcome if applied to cases judged indicated with appropriate criteria.References:[1]The Effect of Surgeon Preference for Selective Patellar Resurfacing on Revision Risk in Total Knee Replacement: An Instrumental Variable Analysis of 136,116 Procedures from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry.Vertullo CJ, Graves SE, Cuthbert AR, Lewis PL J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2019 Jul 17;101(14):1261-1270[2]Resurfaced versus Non-Resurfaced Patella in Total Knee Arthroplasty.Allen W1, Eichinger J, Friedman R.

Abstract Purpose The main purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between the change of tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance and clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 52 knees undergoing TKA due to primary osteoarthritis were included in this retrospective study. All patients had pre- and postoperative CT scans. TT-TG distance was measured by two independent observers and the following alignment parameters were measured: hip-knee ankle angle (HKA), femoral mechanical angle (FMA), tibial mechanical angle (TMA), and posterior condylar angle (PCA). Clinical outcome was assessed using Knee Society Score (KSS) pre- and post-operatively and at a minimum of 12-month follow-up. Evidence of AKP was noted from follow-up reports. Pre- and postoperative scores were compared using a paired Student t-test. Pearson correlations were calculated to assess the influence of TT-TG on clinical outcome and of alignment parameters on the change in TT-TG. TT-TG between patients with and without AKP was compared using unpaired Student’s t-test (p < 0.05). Results Neither the absolute postoperative TT-TG nor the amount of change in TT-TG correlated with the post-operative KSS or the change in KSS. Post-operative TT-TG and change in TT-TG did not differ significantly between patients with and patients without AKP. Only the change in FMA showed a correlation with the change in TT-TG (p = 0.01, r = 0.36). Conclusion Despite a missing correlation between outcomes and TT-TG distance in this study, excessive TT-TG distance should be avoided. Furthermore, surgeons need to be aware that changes in femoral joint line orientation might affect TT-TG distance.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify a threshold in annual surgeon volume associated with increased risk of revision (for any cause) and deep infection requiring surgery following primary elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA).DesignA propensity score matched cohort study.SettingOntario, Canada.Participants169 713 persons who received a primary TKA between 2002 and 2016, with 3-year postoperative follow-up.Main outcome measuresRevision arthroplasty (for any cause), and the occurrence of deep surgical infection requiring surgery.ResultsBased on restricted cubic spline analysis, the threshold for increased probability of revision and deep infection requiring surgery was <70 cases/year. After matching of 51 658 TKA recipients from surgeons performing <70 cases/year to TKA recipients from surgeons with greater than 70 cases/year, patients in the former group had a higher rate of revision (for any cause, 2.23% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.39 to 3.07) vs 1.70% (95% CI 0.85 to 2.55); Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.33, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.47, p<0.0001) and deep infection requiring surgery (1.29% (95% CI 0.44 to 2.14) vs 1.09% (95% CI 0.24 to 1.94); HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.51, p<0.0001).ConclusionsFor primary TKA recipients, cases performed by surgeons who had performed fewer than 70 TKAs in the year prior to the index TKA were at 31% increased relative risk of revision (for any cause), and 18% increased relative risk for deep surgical infection requiring surgery, at 3-year follow-up.
