AbstractSeveral studies have reported better clinical outcomes following kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) than mechanically aligned TKA. Consistent reproduction of a KA-TKA is aided by accurate tibial bone resections using computer navigation systems. This study compares an accelerometer-based portable navigation system with a conventional navigation system on tibial bone resection and clinical outcomes in KA-TKA. This study included 60 knees of patients who underwent primary KA-TKA between May 2015 and September 2017. They were randomly assigned to the OrthoPilot and iASSIST groups. A tibial bone cut was performed with 3 degree varus and 7 degree posterior slope in relation to the mechanical axis in all cases. The tibial component angle (TCA) and posterior slope angle (PSA) were evaluated by postoperative radiography, and those that deviated more than 2 degree were set as outliers. The clinical outcomes were the knee range of motion (ROM) and 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) evaluated at 1 year postoperation. The groups were compared in terms of the TCA, PSA, number of outliers, ROM, and 2011 KSS (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of the mean TCA, PSA, number of outliers, ROM, and categories of the 2011 KSS (objective knee indicators, symptoms, satisfaction, expectations, and functional activities). Although tibial bone cuts were performed with 3 degree varus and 7 degree posterior slope, no significant difference was observed between the OrthoPilot and iASSIST groups in terms of the accuracy of cuts or postoperative clinical result. The iASSIST was found to be a simple and useful navigation system for KA-TKA.

Background Total knee arthroplasty is a challenging task in patients with severe varus deformity. In most of these patients, an extensive medial release is needed that may lead to instability. Medial epicondylar osteotomy may be a better substitute for complete medial collateral release. Materials and Methods Fourteen patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis and severe varus deformity were enrolled in this study. In one side, the patients underwent medial epicondylar osteotomy for mediolateral imbalance if the only option was superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) release. In contralateral side, the extensive medial release was performed and MCL was released either by pie-crusting technique or by subperiosteally release. The results of the two sides were compared. Patients were followed up for 12 months after the operation. Physical examination, clinical questionnaires, and radiography findings were recorded. Union of the osteotomies fragment and complications was evaluated. Results The mean varus angle before surgery was 21.6 ± 4.7 degrees, which was corrected to 8.6 ± 2.9 degrees after operation with an extensive medial release. The mean varus angle of contralateral side was 22.6 ± 1.7 degrees, which was corrected to 7.5 ± 2.3 degrees following medial femoral epicondyle osteotomy. There was no significant difference in varus correction (p = 0.1). Medial joint line opening in valgus stress test was 2.7 ± 0.4 mm in the osteotomized side and 3.5 ± 0.9 mm in contralateral side. Mean range of motion for the osteotomized side was 97.8 ± 4.3 degrees and 100.7 ± 2.7 degrees for contralateral side (p = 0.6). Nonunion occurred in a case in the osteotomized side and no medial instability was observed in medial release or osteotomies sides. No statistical difference was recorded based on clinical questionnaires (Oxford and WOMAC [Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index] scores). Conclusion Medial epicondylar osteotomy is a safe technique with the well-controlled medial extensive release in the patients with severe varus deformity during total knee arthroplasty.
