Residual Postoperative Valgus After Total Knee Arthroplasty for Preoperative Valgus Deformity Results in Inferior Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background
The optimal postoperative coronal alignment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for preoperative valgus deformity is unknown. This study aims to evaluate the impact of postoperative coronal alignment on clinical outcomes following TKA for valgus deformities.
Methods
Patients in preoperative valgus undergoing primary TKA between 2010 and 2020 with at least 1 year of follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative mechanical alignment was assessed on long-leg radiographs via the hip-knee-ankle angle. Postoperative alignment was categorized into valgus (>2° valgus), neutral (within 2° of the mechanical axis), or varus (>2° varus). Patient demographics, preoperative and postoperative outcome scores, and complications were collected.
Results
106 patients met inclusion criteria, with a mean preoperative valgus deformity of 11° (standard deviation ± 6.1). Postoperatively, 18 patients were in varus alignment, 58 were neutral, and 30 remained in valgus. At 2-year follow-up, multivariate analyses showed that patients in neutral or varus alignment postoperatively had superior Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Physical and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain scores compared to those in residual valgus. Varus knees showed significantly greater improvement in Knee Society Score Function scores compared to valgus knees. At final follow-up, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain scores were significantly better in varus knees. Patients in varus were 7.79 times more likely to achieve the minimal clinically important difference VR-12 Physical score, while patients in neutral were 3.26 times more likely to achieve the minimal clinically important difference for Knee Society Score Function when compared to valgus knees.
Conclusions
Correcting preoperative valgus coronal alignment to neutral or varus yields improved patient-reported outcomes when compared to residual valgus.
期刊介绍:
Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
