Coronal plane alignment changes do not affect outcome for total knee implant design with 3 degree varus joint line.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical intervention for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the influence of coronal plane alignment on clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study evaluates whether alterations in the coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification, using the same implant system, affect postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing robotic-assisted TKA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 202 patients who underwent primary robotic-assisted TKA between 2019 and 2023 using NAVIO or CORI systems and Journey II implants. Patients were classified based on changes in CPAK classification and functional outcomes assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) at multiple postoperative time points. Statistical analyses compared outcomes between groups with changed and unchanged CPAK.
Results: A total of 202 patients were included. Preoperative demographic characteristics were comparable between groups. Functional outcome scores at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively showed no significant differences between the changed CPAK group and the unchanged CPAK group (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). Subgroup analyses further revealed no statistically significant disparities in functional outcomes based on the type or degree of CPAK changes.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that changes in coronal plane alignment do not adversely affect functional outcomes following robotic-assisted TKA. This implies that alignment strategy may be less critical to patient satisfaction and functional recovery than previously assumed. Implant-induced alignment changes may contribute to comparable clinical outcomes and could be a key factor in patient recovery. Understanding the relationship between CPAK changes and clinical outcomes can inform best practices in knee arthroplasty, ultimately enhancing patient satisfaction and quality of life post-surgery.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues.
Orthopaedic research is conducted at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that complement clinical applications.
JOSR encourages the publication of multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines, which will be the trend in the coming decades.
