Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that intraoperative soft-tissue balance assessed by an offset-type tensor influences post-operative knee kinematics after cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

The influence of intraoperative soft-tissue balance on knee kinematics in CR-TKA was retrospectively analysed in 30 patients. Intraoperative soft-tissue balance parameters such as varus angle (varus ligament balance), joint component gap (centre gap), and medial and lateral compartment gaps were measured in the navigation system while applying 40-lb joint distraction force at 0°, 10°, 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° of knee flexion using an offset-type tensor with the patella reduced. Tibial internal rotation and tibial anterior translation were measured as the differences between the values at 60° and 120° of flexion using the navigation system. Correlations between the soft-tissue parameters and post-operative knee kinematics were analysed.

Results

The varus ligament balance was positively correlated with tibial internal rotation at 60° and 90° of flexion (R = 0.54, P < 0.05; R = 0.60, P < 0.01, respectively). Furthermore, the joint component gap was positively correlated with tibial internal rotation at 90° of flexion (R = 0.44, P < 0.05), and the lateral compartment gap was positively correlated with tibial internal rotation at 60°, 90°, and 120° of knee flexion.

Conclusions

The intraoperative varus ligament balance and joint component gap values were factors that predicted post-operative knee kinematics after CR-TKA. Lateral laxity at mid-to-deep knee flexion plays a significant role in tibial internal rotation.
