Minimum 10-year follow-up of mobile bearing medial unicompartmental arthroplasty: Does the presence of preoperative radiographic patellofemoral arthritis influence patient outcomes?
Background
Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has become an accepted means of treating end stage anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee. However, the presence of patellofemoral osteoarthritis on preoperative radiographs has proven to be confusing for orthopaedic surgeons in terms of candidacy for unicompartmental arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the presence of preoperative radiographic patellofemoral joint (PFJ) arthritis influences implant survivability or clinical outcomes at minimum 10-year follow-up.
Methods
Preoperative radiographs of 502 knees treated between 2004 and 2010 with medial mobile-bearing UKA and minimum 10-year follow-up (mean 13.3 years ± 2.0) were assessed by an observer blinded to the clinical outcome, and the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) was graded using the modified Altman classification. In the analyzed cohort there were 310 (61.8 %) grade 0, 135 (26.9 %) grade 1, 51 (10.2 %) grade 2, and 6 (1.2 %) grade 3 knees. Clinical outcomes were assessed using Knee Society pain, clinical and functional scores, and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity rating.
Results
There were 66 (12.7 %) knees revised for overall survival of 86.9 %. The most common reason for revision was arthritic progression, in 27 (40.9 %) knees. There was no difference in Kaplan-Meier survival based on preoperative patellofemoral grade (p = 0.8047) and mean time to revision was similar between groups (p = 0.6330). When analyzing outcomes for the entire cohort there was significant improvement from preoperative to postoperative range of motion (ROM) (p = 0.0002) and Knee Society pain, clinical, and functional scores (all p < 0.0001).
Conclusions
This study demonstrates that at long term follow-up there is not a significant difference in overall implant survival or patient reported outcome scores based upon preoperative radiographic PFJ arthritic state. Thus, the radiographic appearance of the patellofemoral joint alone should not be a deciding factor when considering patients as candidates for medial UKA.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
