Operator variation in applying a knee loading device for evaluation of tibial component loosening in total knee arthroplasty
Background
A CT-based method has been developed to aid diagnosis of aseptic loosening of the tibial component by scanning the knee in a loading device, and subsequent 3D-image analysis to quantify component displacement. This study evaluated the effect of operator differences in applying the loading device on the component displacement variables, using two image analysis protocols.
Methods
Sixteen subjects underwent repeated CT examinations with valgus and varus loading. Two operators applied the loading device to each patient. With each load, a CT scan was made, and tibial component displacement relative to the tibia was quantified as rotation about the screw-axis, Maximum Total Point Motion and mean Target Registration Error. Two protocols were used: (1) analyzing the entire tibia (100 %) and (2) the proximal tibia (20 %) to mitigate tibia deformation. Inter-operator reliability and measurement error were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICCagreement), standard error of measurement, standard error of operator and smallest detectable change.
Findings
The 100 % tibia protocol showed moderate-to-good ICCagreement(0.64– 0.84 for the different displacement variables) with standard error of measurement around 0.15 mm or degree. The 20 % tibia protocol showed poor-to-moderate ICCagreement, ranging from 0.17 to 0.31, with the standard error of measurement around 0.10 mm or degree. This protocol showed smaller measurement errors but poorer ICCagreement due to reduced subject variance explained by smaller apparent implant displacements. Operator related error was statistically and clinically negligible. The smallest detectable change values ranged between 0.27 and 0.44 mm or degree.
Interpretation
The 100 % tibia protocol showed moderate-to-good reliability, whereas the 20 % protocol reduced reliability but lower measurement error.
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.
