Bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty has several potential advantages including improved anteroposterior knee stability compared to contemporary posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. However, few studies have explored whether there is significant differences of knee biomechanics following bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty compared to posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. In the present study, subject-specific lower extremity musculoskeletal multi-body dynamics models for bi-cruciate retaining, bi-cruciate retaining without anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty were developed based on the musculoskeletal modeling framework using force-dependent kinematics method and validated against in vivo telemetric data. The experiment data of two subjects who underwent total knee arthroplasty were obtained for the SimTK “Grand Challenge Competition” repository, and integrated into the musculoskeletal model. Five walking gait trials for each subject were used as partial inputs for the model to predict the knee biomechanics for bi-cruciate retaining, bi-cruciate retaining without anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. The results revealed significantly greater range of anterior/posterior tibiofemoral translation, and significantly more posterior tibial location during the early phase of gait and more anterior tibial location during the late phase of gait were found in bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty without anterior cruciate ligament when compared to the bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty. No significant differences in tibiofemoral contact forces, rotations, translations, and ligament forces between bi-cruciate retaining and posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty during normal walking gait, albeit slight differences in range of tibiofemoral internal/external rotation and anterior/posterior translation were observed. The present study revealed that anterior cruciate ligament retention has a positive effect on restoring normal knee kinematics in bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty. Preservation of anterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty and knee implant designs interplay each other and both contribute to restoring normal knee kinematics in different types of total knee arthroplasty. Further evaluation of more demanding activities and subject data from patients with bi-cruciate retaining and posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty via musculoskeletal modeling may better highlight the role of the anterior cruciate ligament and its stabilizing influence.

Abstract A 66-year-old male underwent a total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis after previous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Seven years postoperatively, a symptomatic large lytic lesion was present surrounding the tibial stem. A titanium interference screw, which was used prior to fixate the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) graft, was in direct contact with the tibial component. Galvanic corrosion may have attributed to the development of the lytic lesion. It is advised to remove any metal hardware in the vicinity of joint prosthesis in order to prevent a possible galvanic corrosive reaction.
