However, in most TKAs, only the experienced-based subjective physical “feel” of the surgeon, or either a computer-based navigation system or a soft tissue balancing system are applied to improve the results. In the present study, a combination of both an accelerometer-based navigation system and an electronic knee balancing force sensor were applied to attempt to obtain optimal outcomes. Materials and Methods: An accelerometer-based navigation system and an electronic knee balancing force sensor were applied in combination in 5 TKAs. Thereafter, the incidence of radiographical outliers of the lower-extremity mechanical axis and the alignments of femoral and tibial components, and the incidence of intraoperative lateral retinacular release were evaluated and compared against those of 5 TKAs performed with the force sensor alone as a control. Results: The posterior slope of the tibia was significantly improved in the TKAs performed with the combination of both devices (P=0.004). No lateral release was performed in any TKAs of either group. Conclusion: TKAs performed under the combination of an accelerometer-based navigation system and an electronic knee balancing force sensor can obtain greater the accuracy of bone resection and appropriate soft tissue balancing.","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67683463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Femoral component sizing in primary total knee arthroplasty is of paramount importance for optimizing complication free post-operative function across all patients. The purpose of this study was to report the early results of a primary TKA system in support of the component design characteristics for achievement of increased functional expectations. METHODS : A prospective, continuous series of 176 primary posterior stabilized (PS) TKAs were performed in 172 patients by a single surgeon. Femoral component size distribution was assessed and all patients were followed for a minimum of two-years post-operatively. Total Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores and range of motion (ROM) was assessed for the entire cohort and by gender. RESULTS : There were no patients lost to follow-up. Two patients required incision and drainage for superficial wound infection of the indicated knees. There was no radiographic evidence of component failure. As expected, femoral component size frequency use was skewed by gender with the larger sizes in males. There were no pre- or post-operative clinical or functional differences by gender and at the recent follow-up (avg. 3.8 years). In addition, there was an average significant increase in change of HSS score (p<0.01) and ROM (P<0.01) when compared to pre-operative baseline. CONCLUSIONS : The design characteristic for component sizing and functional expectations were confirmed in the reported Western population cohort series. Further continued use and study of this primary TKA system is warranted across all ethnic cultures.","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67683129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physiological loading of the proximal femur prevents stress shielding and preserves bone stock of the femur in the long run. Thus it is an ideal hip implant suited for conservative hip surgeries in active young adults with arthritic hips. Materials and methods- 50 Proxima hip replacements were performed on 41 patients with a mean age of 45 over a 3-year period (between July 2006 and September 2009). Diagnosis of hip pathologies varied from osteoarthritis secondary to avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-tubercular arthritis to dysplastic hips. 9 of these patients had symptomatic bilateral hip involvement and underwent bilateral hip replacement in a single sitting. All patient had a Proxima metaphyseal stem implantation( DePuy, Warsaw) with either a large diameter metal on metal or pinnacle articulation. Clinical and radiological evaluation was done at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and then yearly thereafter. Statiscal analysis used- VAS and Harris hip score formed the basis of evaluation Results- These patients were followed up for a mean period of 49 months (Range 36-72 months). The average incision size was 14.38 cm (10-18 cm) and blood loss was 269 ml (175-450 ml). There was no peri-operative mortality or serious morbidity in any patients. One patient had an intraoperative lateral cortex crack that required only delayed rehabilitation. Five of the 41 patients (12.1 %) had complications with three recovering completely and one requiring revision of femoral stem for aseptic loosening. One patient was lost in follow-up. Harris hip score improved from 52 to 89.3 at last follow-up. Overall 95.1% (39/41) patients had an excellent outcome at last follow-up. Conclusion- We conclude that Proxima metaphyseal stem provided clinically and radiologically stable fixation through snug fit initially followed by bone in-growth and was ideally suited to satisfy the requirements of a conservative hip implant. Unfortunately, due to unknown reasons, the implant has been recently withdrawn from the market by DePuy and is no longer available for use. Key Message Conservative hip stems that preserve bone and soft tissue at the time of surgery, prevent femoral stress shielding by circumferential loading, promote positive bone remodeling and help to make revision surgeries easier are ideally suited as hip implants for young active adults with end stage hip disease requiring hip replacement surgery.","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67682659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is overwhelming evidence supporting the efficacy of intravenous Tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding and the need for transfusion in TKA. There is still some question regarding the efficacy of other methods of Tranexamic acid administration. This case series study evaluated the effects of the use of intravenous Tranexamic acid administered alone, or in combination with intra-articular tranexamic acid on transfusion rate and other clinical outcomes; and compared this to a group of patients who received neither treatment. Method We conducted a case review of 150 patients who had undergone TKA from 2012-2015. 50 patients underwent TKA with IV Tranexamic acid (Group A). A further 50 patients underwent TKA with IV Tranexamic acid in combination with intra-articular administration of 2grams of Tranexamic acid in 20ml saline (Group B). A final 50 patients underwent TKA without the use of Tranexamic acid (non-treatment group). Outcome measures were transfusion rate, change in haemoglobin and haematocrit, medical review events, patient mortality and changes in knee flexion and extension measurements at six weeks after surgery. Results There were no significant differences in red blood cell transfusion rates between the non-treatment group and the two treatment groups, however an absolute reduction in transfusion rate from 8% to 0% (p=0.134) was observed. The mean change of haemoglobin level in the non-treatment group was 29 while in treatment groups A and B, this was 23 and 19 respectively (p=0.0001). No significant difference was observed between treatment group A and B.  There was a significant difference in post-operative haemoglobin level, where mean haemoglobin concentrations in non-treatment, Group A and B were 110 vs 115 vs 123 respectively (P= 0.0001). Pairwise comparison showed that Group B was significantly different when compared to both non treatment (p=0.0001) and treatment group A (p=0.020).  There were no significant differences observed in other outcomes. Conclusion This study supports the existing literature and suggests that the use of IV Tranexamic acid alone or in combination with intra-articular dose in TKA may reduce the requirement for transfusion (Level IV evidence). Furthermore, this study suggests that the use of tranexamic acid as a combination of Intravenous and intra-articular administration has no effect on range of motion, or medical complications during hospital stay. Although it was not a statistically significant finding, our study suggested a trend towards a greater reduction in haemoglobin and haematocrit fall in the combination therapy group when compared to IV Tranexamic acid alone","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67682953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to assess short-term patient outcomes and surgical results of SuperPATH hip replacements in Australia. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of the first 100 SuperPATH hip replacements by a single surgeon was performed. Surgical outcomes were reviewed with a minimum follow-up of 1 year post operation. A functional and patient satisfaction questionnaire was administered at a minimum of 6 weeks post operation. Results: There were 3 major complications with 1 revision operation in this series. There were no dislocations. By 2 weeks post operation, 86% of patients were ambulant without walking aids, 84% of patients were able to dress themselves independently and 91% of patients did not need opioid analgesia. 81% of patients were driving within 4 weeks of surgery. Of patients who were working full-time prior to surgery, 33% of them were back at work or functional baseline within 1 week post surgery, and 52% by 2 weeks. 100% of patients were extremely satisfied with the operation. Conclusion: We conclude that SuperPATH is a safe technique of hip arthroplasty with excellent functional recovery and patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67682998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We evaluated 100 total knee arthroplasties which utilized patient-specific implants, versus 37 standard posterior stabilized and 32 standard posterior cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasties.  Bone resection was quantified utilizing intra-operative measurements of actual resected bone. Additionally we performed a virtual, CAD-based analysis of resections via CT imaging on 15 knees.  Findings: We found that patients had significantly less bone resected in all zones measured, on both the femur and tibia, when patient-specific implants with patient-specific jigs were used.  When assessed volumetrically with CAD imaging, standard implants resected 12-49% more bone than did patient-specific implants, depending on the size of the implant utilized. Interpretations: Utilizing patient-specific implants in total knee arthroplasty results in significant bone sparing as compared to standard total knee arthroplasty. This has the potential for less invasive revision surgery in the future, possibly obviating the need for dedicated revision implants or augments and other bone substituting devices.","PeriodicalId":20884,"journal":{"name":"Reconstructive Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67682265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
