AbstractThe aim of this study is to ascertain patients' perception of the amount of bone and tissue excision and size and weight of their implanted prostheses at total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To our knowledge, no prior study in the English orthopaedic literature has analyzed these parameters against patient perception of TKA. In a prospective study of eight consecutive TKA (six primary and two single-stage revision TKA procedures) by a single surgeon, patients estimated the weight of their implanted knee. We assessed actual weights of their implants and bone cement. Patients estimated the size of their prostheses by sketching the tibial and femoral bone cuts upon a printout of an anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of their preoperative knee. We utilized an articulated plastic model knee for patient reference. Our study shows almost half a kilogram of weight is added postoperatively to the surgical site as a result of tissue excision, explanted material, and implanted prosthesis and cement. All patients overestimated the weight of their implanted prostheses and extent of bone excision. Thus, even ‘well-informed’ patients overestimate their bone resection and weight of implanted prosthesis at TKA. We postulate such misconceptions among TKA patients are common, and may impact negatively upon patient perception of TKA, their postoperative recovery and outcome.

There is intrinsic surgical variability in the practice of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and thus computational analyses of TKA should account for this variability to ensure clinical applicability and robustness of results. Statistical inputs within computational analyses have been used to assess the biomechanical characteristics of TKA implants [1], and such methodologies are promising when applied to morphological analysis of TKA in order to motivate component design, assess current designs, and improve the understanding of surgical outcomes. Analyses to date either directly use actual TKA component placement or bone resection data [2], or assume a single set of parameters for placement and resection across the entire specimen group that was investigated [3], and thus do not account for surgical variability. This could be due to a lack of available data to quantify clinical variability in TKA component placement.

In this case, we will describe a 68-year-old man with combined femoral and tibial bone deformities who underwent robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) to treat his severe osteoarthritis in the setting of extra-articular deformities that altered the native anatomical axis and the kinematics of the deformed extra-articular bony structures which chronically generated a neomechanical axis. The combination of severe osteoarthritis with extra-articular deformities made the RATKA method the best surgical treatment option taking into account altered kinematics of the native joint which conventional jig-based total knee arthroplasty would not have prioritized during bony cuts and implant positioning. The patient underwent successful knee arthroplasty with robotic arm-assisted technology with restoration of the mechanical axis.

Purpose. Bony resection is the primary step during total knee arthroplasty. The accuracy of bony resection was highly addressed because it was deemed to have a good relationship with mechanical line. Patient-specific instruments (PSI) were invented to copy the bony resection references from the preoperative surgical plan during a total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the accuracy still remains controversial. This study was aimed at finding out the accuracy of the bony resection during PSI-assisted TKA. Methods. Forty-two PSI-assisted TKAs (based on full-length leg CT images) were analyzed retrospectively. Resected bones of every patient were given a CT scan, and three-dimensional radiographs were reconstructed. The thickness of each bony resection was measured with the three-dimensional radiographs and recorded. The saw blade thickness (1.27 mm) was added to the measurements, and the results represented intraoperative bone resection thickness. A comparison between intraoperative bone resection thickness and preoperatively planned thickness was conducted. The differences were calculated, and the outliers were defined as >3 mm. Results. The distal femoral condyle had the most accurate bone cuts with the smallest difference (median, 1.0 mm at the distal medial femoral condyle and 0.8 mm at the distal lateral femoral condyle) and the least outliers (none at the distal medial femoral condyle and 1 (2.4%) at the distal lateral femoral condyle). The tibial plateau came in second (median difference, 0.8 mm at the medial tibial plateau and 1.4 mm at the lateral tibial plateau; outliers, none at the medial tibial plateau and 1 (2.6%) at the lateral tibial plateau). Regardless of whether the threshold was set to >2 mm (14 (17.9%) at the tibial plateau vs. 12 (14.6%) at the distal femoral condyle, p > 0.05 ) or >3 mm (1 (1.3%) at the tibial plateau vs. 1 (1.2%) at the distal femoral condyle, p > 0.05 ), the accuracy of tibial plateau osteotomy was similar to that of the distal femoral condyle. Osteotomy accuracy at the posterior femoral condyle and the anterior femoral condyle were the worst. Outliers were up to 6 (15.0%) at the posterior medial femoral condyle, 5 (12.2%) at the posterior lateral femoral condyle, and 6 (15.8%) at the anterior femoral condyle. The percentages of overcut and undercut tended to 50% in most parts except the lateral tibial plateau. At the lateral tibial plateau, the undercut percentage was twice that of the overcut. Conclusion. The tibial plateau and the distal femoral condyle share a similar accuracy of osteotomy with PSI. PSI have a generally good accuracy during the femur and tibia bone resection in TKA. PSI could be a kind of user-friendly tool which can simplify TKA with good accuracy. Level of Evidence. This is a Level IV case series with no comparison group.

Abstract Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective and also mature surgical interventions that improves life quality and provides pain relief. Accurate bone cuts are important to prevent TKA malalignment and it requires cautious preoperative plan and precise bone resection. Recently, robotic-assisted TKA techniques have been used to improve the accuracy of bone resection and implantation. However, the system described above suits for only one prosthesis type. Methods Five types (MicroPort_CS, Smith& Nephew_GII, Johnson&Johnson_PFC_PS, kingnow _VLQX_PS and Akmedical_A3GT_PS) implants were included in our study and three Sawbones models were used for each implant. Procedures were performed by experienced joint replacement surgeons using HURWA robotic-assisted TKA system. Results our study indicated that the bone resection error of HURWA robotic-assisted system was below 0.5 mm (with SDs below 0.3 mm), and all of the bone resection angles were below 0.5° (with SDs below 0.3°). The bone resection angles and levels deviation of different brand prosthesis types were below 0.5 mm (with SDs below 0.3 mm) and below 0.5° (with SDs below 0.3°) respectively. Conclusion It suggested that our system may be suitable for different prosthesis types.
