Abstract
BACKGROUND
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, changes in biomechanics for femoral component alignment in mobile-bearing TKA have not been explored in depth.
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical effect of sagittal alignment of the femoral component in mobile-bearing TKA.
METHODS
We developed femoral sagittal alignment models with -3°, 0°, 3°, 5°, and 7° flexion. We also examine the kinematics of the tibiofemoral (TF) joint, contact point on the TF joint, contact stress on the patellofemoral (PF) joint, collateral ligament force, and quadriceps force using a validated computational model under a deep-knee-bend condition.
RESULTS
Posterior kinematics of the TF joint increases as the femoral component flexes. The contact stress on the PF joint, collateral ligament force, and the quadriceps force decreases as the femoral component flexes.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results show that a slight, approximately 0°∼3°, flexion of the implantation could be an effective substitute technique. However, excessive flexion should be avoided because of the potential loosening of the TF joint.
