Abstract

Purpose

A comparison has been made between navigation-assisted and conventional measured resection total knee arthroplasty (TKA), under the hypothesis that navigation assistance would improve the precision and consistency of component alignment and femoral component rotation.

Methods

The following radiographic parameters were measured: mechanical femorotibial angle, coronal and sagittal component angle, and femoral component rotation. Femoral condylar lift-off was checked by axial radiographs, and thresholds for outliers were set at 1.0 mm.

Results

Clinical results obtained using Knee Society and Hospital for Special Surgery systems were not statistically different. The mean mechanical femorotibial angle was 2.2° (SD: 0.9) in the conventional group and 1.7° (SD: 0.7) in navigation group (p = 0.001). The mean coronal femoral component angle was 89.2° (SD: 2.2) in conventional group and 90.4° (SD: 1.8) in navigation group (p = 0.006). The mean transepicondylar-posterior condylar axis angle was 1.7° (SD: 0.9) in conventional group and 1.2° (SD: 0.5) in navigation group (p = 0.008). Femoral condylar lift-off greater than 1 mm occurred more frequently (p = 0.000) in conventional group.

Conclusion

Coronal plane stability and precision of femoral component rotation were impacted by navigation system. The use of a navigation system with measured resection TKA can help optimize coronal stability and parallel component position.

Level of evidence

Retrospective case control study, Level IV.

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

25.04.2024 Gonarthrose Nachrichten

Ein arthroskopischer Eingriff bei Kniearthrose macht im Hinblick darauf, ob und wann ein Gelenkersatz fällig wird, offenbar keinen Unterschied.
