Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the accuracy of tibial implant alignment using an accelerometer-based portable navigation system in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Methods

This retrospective matched case–control study reviewed 51 UKAs performed using an accelerometer-based portable navigation system, matched with 51 UKAs performed using conventional extramedullary rods. Coronal alignment and posterior slope of the tibial implant were measured on postoperative radiographs, and differences from preoperative planning were examined. Outliers and accuracy of tibial implant alignment were compared between the portable navigation and conventional groups using Fisher’s exact test and Mann–Whitney U test, respectively.

Results

In the portable navigation group, 100% of the implants were aligned within 3.0° of both target coronal and sagittal implant alignment. In the conventional group, 76.5% and 88.2% of the implants were within 3.0° of both target coronal and sagittal implant alignment. Statistical analysis revealed that outliers of coronal and sagittal alignment were significantly less in the portable navigation group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05). In addition, the absolute value difference between postoperative measurement and preoperative planning of both coronal and sagittal alignment was significantly smaller in the portable navigation group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The portable navigation system improved the accuracy of tibial implant alignment in UKA. We found that 100% of the implants were aligned within 3.0° of both target coronal and sagittal implant alignment. The portable navigation system decreased the outliers of tibial coronal and sagittal alignment.

Level of evidence

Retrospective case–control study, Level III.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern
