Biomechanical analysis of the effect of postero-latero-central tibial plateau fractures in the knee joint: Can posterior soft tissues prevent instability? A finite element study.
Background
Almost 86 % of all tibial plateau fractures involves the failure of the postero-latero-central region of the tibial plateau. Surgical treatment of this region is technically demanding and in case of limited depression, it's occasionally chosen to leave them untreated. The aim of the study is to numerically check to what extent this choice can be accepted avoiding inferior outcomes (i.e. joint instability), and to analyze posterior soft tissues role in presence of this fractures.
Methods
Starting from a previous validated finite element model with baseline structures, several configurations were developed by inserting posterior soft tissues and postero-latero-central fracture, with different articular depressions. Squat motion was numerically simulated and tibio-femoral kinematics were compared among configurations.
Findings
An increasing step-off led to a progressive joint instability, especially in the first 35°-40° of flexion. Posterior soft tissues showed to be beneficial in initial stabilization and early flexion. Tibial Axial Rotation didn't show any restorative effect of posterior soft tissues on knee kinematics. Tibial Antero-Posterior Translation is the most significant biomechanical parameter, showing posterior soft tissues restoring native antero-posterior translation, completely for 1-mm step-off fracture, only partially for 2-mm step-off fracture, and not sufficiently for 3-mm step-off fracture, at least in the first 30° of flexion.
Interpretation
The results suggest that postero-latero-central fractures with step-off ≥2 mm should be treated to restore articular kinematic, whereas fractures with step-off <2 mm need a broad evaluation to assess the effective need of surgery. These information can be valuable for surgeons, to aid their decision to surgically operate or not.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
