Abstract
Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is highly effective for end-stage knee osteoarthritis, providing long-term benefits and anticipated increased prevalence. The study compares Medial Pivot TKA's (MP-TKA) historical success for varus deformities with recent findings suggesting comparable outcomes for valgus deformities. Despite prevalent use of Posterior Stabilized TKA (PS-TKA) for valgus deformities, this research explores the unexplored comparative efficacy of MP-TKA vs. PS-TKA in knee osteoarthritis patients with valgus deformity.
Methods: This single-centre cohort study focused on 57 knees in 53 patients undergoing TKA for knee osteoarthritis with valgus deformity. Conducted between January 2013 and April 2021, the study compared MP-TKA and PS-TKA. Surgeries adhered to a medial parapatellar approach and modified gap technique, with perioperative interventions for pain, bleeding, and swelling. Outcome measurements included knee joint range of motion, radiographic evaluation, patients-reported outcomes, operative time, blood laboratory tests, estimated blood loss, and postoperative adverse events, and analyzed between the two groups.
Results: Postoperative hip-knee-ankle angles showed no significant difference between MP-TKA and PS-TKA. The pie crust technique was similarly used in both groups, and deformity correction showed no significant difference. Range of motion and clinical outcomes, measured by WOMAC and JOA scores, were comparable postoperatively. MP-TKA had a shorter surgical duration (p = 0.01), and PS-TKA exhibited higher estimated blood loss (p = 0.01) without significant complications in either group.
Conclusions: This pioneering study compares the outcomes of MP TKA and PS TKA in patients with valgus-deformed osteoarthritic knees. Compared to PS TKA, MP TKA shows a prolonged operative duration and increased blood loss, likely due to the requirement for patellar replacement. However, postoperative range of motion and clinical outcomes are similar. Both groups exhibit favorable midterm clinical results, supporting the viability of MP TKA for valgus deformed knees. The study, consistent in surgical approach, highlights MP TKA's effectiveness for valgus deformities.
期刊介绍：
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
