Abstract
(1) Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed on working-age patients significantly affects the participation of such patients in social life. A retrospective study was conducted to determine the return to work (RTW) rate after TKA. The goal of this study was to provide reference data for the Polish population and identify the factors impacting patients' decisions to return to or resign from work, relative to their functional performance. (2) Methods: This retrospective study involved 48 patients. An interview related to RTW was carried out to identify the factors impacting a patient's decision to return to or resign from work. Functional performance was assessed using the Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADL) scale. (3) Results: Before TKA, 15 individuals (31.25%) qualified for the study did not work and were receiving welfare benefits. After the surgery, 23 individuals (47.9% of those working prior to TKA) did not return to work. The number of those who did not work after TKA increased to 38 (79.17%), which was a significant change. The mean level of functional performance after TKA assessed using KOS-ADL was 75.89. (4) Conclusions: The findings show that the rate of RTW after TKA in Poland is significantly lower than that in other countries. The reasons for this situation, as shown in the study, may be related to the lack of an occupational rehabilitation system, resulting in a paucity of information about the possibility to return to work and about opportunities for retraining.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at widely disparate stages of osteoarthritis, raising the possibility of high heterogeneity among patients enrolled in TKA research studies. Obscuration of treatment effectiveness and other problems that may stem from cohort heterogeneity can be controlled in clinical studies by rigorously defining target patients. The purpose of this review was to determine the extent to which randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TKA use osteoarthritis severity, as defined by radiographic grade or patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), in their inclusion criteria, and to investigate potential impact on outcome. METHODS A search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases used a combination of terms involving TKA, PROMs, and radiographic scoring. A total of 1,227 studies were independently reviewed by 2 screeners for the above terms. RCTs with ≥100 patients (236) and with <100 patients (325) undergoing TKA were analyzed with regard to the specific inclusion criteria and recruitment process. RESULTS Among the identified RCTs with ≥100 patients, 18 (<8%, with a total of 2,952 randomized patients) used specific radiographic scoring or PROM thresholds in their inclusion criteria. Eleven of the 18 studies used specific radiographic scoring, such as the Kellgren-Lawrence or Ahlbäck classifications. Three studies used preoperative PROM thresholds: Knee Society Knee Score of <60, Knee Society Function Score of <60, Oxford Knee Score of <20, and Hospital for Special Surgery Score of <60. Among studies with <100 patients, 48 (<15%) used specific inclusion criteria. CONCLUSIONS The vast majority of RCTs (>85%) did not enroll patients based on disease severity, as measured by PROM score thresholds or radiographic classifications, in their inclusion criteria. The lack of consistent inclusion criteria likely results in heterogeneous cohorts, potentially undermining the validity of RCTs on TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level I .

Abstract
PURPOSE Mismatch between partial imported prostheses and Chinese anatomy affects the clinical outcome of the procedure. The purpose of this study was to measure the anatomical dimensions of Chinese distal femurs to provide guidance for the design of more compatible distal femoral prostheses. METHODS A total of 406 healthy distal femurs were reconstructed and measured. Consistency of these measurements and differences in sides, gender, and populations were examined. Parameter correlations were analyzed, and pairs with strong correlations underwent linear regression analysis. The design of distal femoral prostheses was referenced from the results of K-means and hierarchical clustering analysis. RESULTS Ten parameters were measured, including the trans-epicondylar axis, width of the distal femur (ML), anteroposterior diameter of the distal femur (AP), etc. The intra-class correlation coefficient ranged from 0.795 to 0.999 for intra-observer consistency, and from 0.796 to 0.998 for inter-observer consistency. Males exhibited significantly larger parameters than females, except for the posterior condylar angle (all P values < 0.05). Compared to other populations, substantial differences were observed for most parameters, such as ML, AP, width of lateral femoral condyle, etc. (all P values < 0.05). Clustering analysis suggested that distal femoral prostheses should include at least five sizes to adequately accommodate the sampled population. ML sizes for males were 68, 70, 83, 73, and 89 mm, and for females 64, 65, 71, 67, and 77 mm. AP sizes for males were 56, 60, 60, 64, and 64 mm, and for females 48, 52, 54, 57, and 58 mm. CONCLUSIONS Chinese distal femur morphology, as analyzed using 3D techniques, varies significantly between genders and when compared with international data. For improved patient fit, the creation of five or more distal femur prostheses, diversified by gender and size and informed by the associated morphological parameters, is recommended.

Custom total knee arthroplasty combined with personalised alignment grants 94% patient satisfaction at minimum follow-up of 2 years. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2023; 31:1276-1283.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose was to report detailed patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction rates for computed tomography (CT)-based custom TKA at minimum follow-up of 2 years. The hypothesis was that custom TKA combined with 'personalised alignment' would yield equivalent or better PROMs compared to values reported in systematic reviews and meta-analyses on off-the-shelf (OTS) TKA. METHODS Of an initial cohort of 150 custom TKAs, four died (unrelated to surgery), one required a revision, and five refused participation, leaving 140 patients for analysis. Patients completed pre- and post-operative PROMs (Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Western Ontario and McMaster osteoarthritis index (WOMAC)) as well as overall level of satisfaction. Proportions that attained a patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) were calculated for OKS and FJS. Clinical findings were compared to the average scores reported for PROMs in recent systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses on OTS TKA. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the clinical findings as means, standard deviations (SD) and ranges, or numbers and percentages. RESULTS At mean follow-up 33.5 ± 4.5 months, 94% (135/143) were either satisfied or very satisfied. Proportions that achieved PASS were 89% for OKS (120/135), and 85% for FJS (118/139). Median OKS, WOMAC and KOOS Symptoms and Pain scores were all within the 4th quartile of medians reported in systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses. CONCLUSIONS At a minimum follow-up of two years following custom TKA combined with 'personalised alignment', 94% of patients were either satisfied or very satisfied, and the PASS criteria were achieved in 89% for OKS and 85% for FJS, all of which compare favourably to published outcomes of OTS TKA. Direct comparisons to the literature may not be appropriate, however, considering the heterogeneity of patient demographics and alignment techniques. Randomised controlled trials with sufficient statistical power are needed to corroborate these findings and generalise them to unselected TKA patients.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the final treatment option for patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). Unfortunately, TKA surgery is accompanied by acute postoperative pain that is more severe than arthroplasty performed in other joints. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms specific to post-TKA pain necessitates an animal model that replicates clinical TKA procedures, induces acute postoperative pain, and leads to complete functional recovery. Here, we present a new preclinical TKA model in rats and report on functional and behavioral outcomes indicative of pain, analgesic efficacy, serum cytokine levels, and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) transcriptomes during the acute postoperative period. Following TKA, rats exhibited marked deficits in weight bearing that persisted for 28 days. Home cage locomotion, rearing, and gait were similarly impacted and recovered by day 14. Cytokine levels were elevated on postoperative days one and/or two. Treatment with morphine, ketorolac, or their combination improved weight bearing while gabapentin lacked efficacy. When TKA was performed in rats with OA, similar functional deficits and comparable recovery time courses were observed. Analysis of DRG transcriptomes revealed upregulation of transcripts linked to multiple molecular pathways including inflammation, MAPK signaling, and cytokine signaling and production. In summary, we developed a clinically relevant rat TKA model characterized by resolution of pain and functional recovery within five weeks and with pain-associated behavioral deficits that are partially alleviated by clinically administered analgesics, mirroring the postoperative experience of TKA patients.

Abstract
Range of motion (ROM) and pain often define successful recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but these routine clinical outcomes correlate poorly or not at all to functional capacity after TKA. The purpose of this Perspective is to underscore the importance of muscle strength and performance-based functional tests in addition to knee ROM and patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures to evaluate outcomes after TKA. Specifically: (1) muscle strength is the rate-limiting step for recovery of function after TKA; (2) progressive rehabilitation targeting early quadriceps muscle strengthening improves outcomes and does not compromise ROM after TKA; (3) ROM and PROs fail to fully capture functional limitations after TKA; and (4) performance-based functional tests are critical to evaluate function objectively after TKA. This Perspective also addresses studies that question the need for or benefit of physical therapy after TKA because their conclusions focus only on ROM and PRO measures. Future research is needed to determine the optimal timing, delivery, intensity, and content of physical therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative musculoskeletal disease that causes articular damage and chronic pain, with a prevalence of up to 50% in individuals >60 years of age. Patients suffering from chronic painful conditions, including OA, also frequently report anxiety or depression. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the correlation between pain severity and depressive and anxious symptomatology in OA patients. METHODS A systematic search was conducted using four databases (PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science) from inception up to 14th January of 2020. We included original articles evaluating pain severity and anxiety and/or depression severity in OA-diagnosed patients. Detailed data were extracted from each study, including patients' characteristics and pain, anxiety, and depression severity. When available, the Pearson correlation coefficient between pain and depression severity and pain and anxiety severity was collected and a meta-analysis of random effects was applied. RESULTS This systematic review included 121 studies, with a total of 38085 participants. The mean age was 64.3 years old and subjects were predominantly female (63%). The most used scale to evaluate pain severity was the Western Ontario and the McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, while for anxiety and depression, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was the most used. The meta-analysis showed a moderate positive correlation between pain severity and both anxious (r = 0.31, p < 0.001) and depressive symptomatology (r = 0.36, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate a significant correlation between pain and depression/anxiety severity in OA patients, highlighting the need for its routine evaluation by clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the growing frequency of revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), there is limited information regarding patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after that procedure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine (1) PROM improvements in pain, function, quality of life (QOL), and global health and (2) predictors of PROMs for patients undergoing aseptic rTKA as determined using a multilevel model with patients nested within surgeons. METHODS A prospective cohort of 246 patients who underwent aseptic rTKA from January 2016 to December 2017 and had baseline and 1-year postoperative PROMs were analyzed. The most common surgical indications were aseptic loosening (n = 109), instability (n = 73), and implant failure (n = 64). The PROMs included in this study were the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)-Pain, -Physical Function Short Form (PS), and -Quality of Life (QOL) as well as the Veterans Rand-12 (VR-12) Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS). Multivariable linear regression models with patients nested within surgeons were constructed for predicting change in PROMs from baseline to 1 year. RESULTS The mean 1-year postoperative improvements in the KOOS-Pain and PS PROMs were 30.3 and 19.15 points, respectively, for the overall rTKA series. Improvement in the KOOS-Pain was associated with older age, baseline arthrofibrosis, lower baseline pain, and non-Medicare/Medicaid insurance and worsening of the scores was associated with multiple prior surgical procedures and instability. Improvement in the KOOS-PS was associated with baseline arthrofibrosis and female sex and worsening was associated with limited baseline function, an instability diagnosis, multiple prior surgical procedures, and increased hospital length of stay (LOS). Overall, the mean KOOS-QOL improved by 29.7 points. Although the mean VR-12 PCS improved, 54.9% of the patients saw no clinical improvement. Additionally, only 31.3% of the patients reported improvements in the VR-12 MCS. A multilevel mixed-effects model with patients/operations nested within surgeons demonstrated that the differences in the surgeons' results were minimal and explained only ∼1.86%, ∼1.12%, and ∼1.65% of the KOOS-Pain, KOOS-PS, and KOOS-QOL variance that was not explained by other predictors, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Overall, patients undergoing aseptic rTKA had improvements in pain, function, and QOL PROMs at 1 year. Although overall QOL improved, other global-health PROMs remained unchanged. The associations highlighted in this study can help guide the preoperative clinical decision-making process by setting expectations before aseptic rTKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Patient characteristics and valuation changes impact quality of life and satisfaction in total knee arthroplasty - results from a German prospective cohort study. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2019; 17:180. [PMID: 31815627 PMCID: PMC6902559 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-019-1237-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Evaluation of variations in pre- and postoperative patient reported outcomes (PRO) and the association between preoperative patient characteristics and health and satisfaction outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may support shared decision-making in Germany. Since previous research on TKA health outcomes indicated valuation differences in longitudinal data, experienced-based population weights were used for the first time as an external valuation system to measure discrepancies between patient and average population valuation of HRQoL. Methods Baseline data (n = 203) included sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and PROs, measured by the EQ-5D-3 L and WOMAC. Six-month follow-up data (n = 161) included medical changes since hospital discharge, PROs and satisfaction. A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between preoperative patient characteristics and PRO scores. Patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) was calculated to provide a satisfaction threshold. Patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) valuations were compared with average experienced-based population values to detect changes in valuation. Results One hundred thirty-seven subjects met inclusion criteria. All PRO measures improved significantly. Preoperative WOMAC and EQ-5D VAS, housing situation, marital status, age and asthma were found to be predictors of postoperative outcomes. 73% of study participants valued their preoperative HRQoL higher than the general population valuation, indicating response shift. Preoperatively, patient-reported EQ-5D VAS was substantially higher than average experienced-based population values. Postoperatively, this difference declined sharply. Approximately 61% of the patients reported satisfactory postoperative health, being mainly satisfied with results if postoperative WOMAC was ≥82.49 (change ≥20.25) and postoperative EQ-5D VAS was ≥75 (change ≥6). Conclusion On average, patients benefited from TKA. Preoperative WOMAC and EQ-5D VAS were predictors of postoperative outcomes after TKA. Particularly patients with high absolute preoperative PRO scores were more likely to remain unsatisfied. Therefore, outcome prediction can contribute to shared-decision making. Using general population valuations as a reference, this study underlined a discrepancy between population and patient valuation of HRQoL before, but not after surgery, thus indicating a potential temporary response shift before surgery.

Chen YP, Huang YY, Wu Y, Kuo YJ, Lin CY. Depression negatively affects patient-reported knee functional outcome after intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection among geriatric patients with knee osteoarthritis. J Orthop Surg Res 2019; 14:387. [PMID: 31775836 PMCID: PMC6882243 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-019-1419-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection (IAHA) is a popular treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study investigates whether depression, anxiety, and pain affect self-reported knee function in geriatric OA people who have received IAHA. METHODS Through convenience sampling, 102 geriatric patients (mean age = 70.91 ± 7.19; 28 males) with knee OA who had undergone IAHA participated in this study. All participants self-reported depression using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), knee function using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee evaluation form (IKDC), and pain severity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). They completed the aforementioned questionnaires at baseline before injection and then again at 2-, 4-, and 6-month follow-ups. RESULTS Depression was significantly associated with IKDC, WOMAC physical function subscale, and total WOMAC scores. Anxiety was only significantly associated with the WOMAC pain subscale score. Pain severity was significantly associated with IKDC, WOMAC stiffness subscale, WOMAC physical function subscale, and total WOMAC scores. CONCLUSION Given that depression negatively affected patient-reported knee function among geriatric OA patients who had undergone IAHA, further attention should be paid to the depressive status of this population.

Do Health-Related Quality of Life and Pain-Coping Strategies Explain the Relationship between Older Women Participants in a Pilates-Aerobic Program and Bodily Pain? A Multiple Mediation Model. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:E3249. [PMID: 31487929 PMCID: PMC6765881 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16183249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
This study (1) analyzes the differences between non-participating and participating older women in terms of clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, health-related quality of life and physical activity (PA); (2) studies the associations between non-participants and participants, clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, HRQoL and bodily pain and PA; and (3) determines whether catastrophizing, physical role, behavioural coping, social functioning and emotional role are significant mediators in the link between participating in a Pilates-aerobic program (or not) and bodily pain. The sample comprised 340 older women over 60 years old. Participants of the present cross-sectional study completed measures of clinical characteristics: HRQoL using the SF-36 Health Survey, pain-coping strategies using the Vanderbilt Pain Management Inventory (VPMI) and PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Significant differences between non-participants and participants, were found in clinical characteristics, pain-coping strategies (both, p < 0.05), HRQoL (p < 0.01), and PA (p < 0.001). Moreover, catastrophizing support mediated the link between non-participants and participants and bodily pain by 95.9% of the total effect; 42.9% was mediated by PA and 39.6% was mediated by behavioural coping. These results contribute to a better understanding of the link between PA and bodily pain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To improve the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prosthesis design, it is essential to study the kinematics of the tibiofemoral joint. Many studies have been conducted in this area; however, conflicting results and incomparable testing methods make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions or compare research from studies. The goal of this article is to introduce what is known about both healthy and prosthetic tibiofemoral joint kinematics. AREAS COVERED Healthy tibiofemoral joint kinematics are reviewed in vivo by different activities, and the kinematics of existing knee prosthetic design features are considered separately. These features include but are not limited to cruciate retaining, posterior cruciate substituting, mobile-bearing, and high flexion. EXPERT COMMENTARY The type of activity that is being performed has a great influence on the kinematics of healthy knees, and the influences of different TKA prosthetic design features on the kinematics are complex and varied. Moreover, the TKA postoperative functional performance is influenced by many factors, and prosthetic design is among them, but not the only one that defines the performance.

Preoperative quadriceps weakness preferentially predicts postoperative aberrant movement patterns during high-demand mobility following total knee arthroplasty. Knee 2019; 26:79-87. [PMID: 30600199 PMCID: PMC6377852 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2018.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Revised: 12/01/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly all patients with total knee arthroplasty show aberrant movement patterns during tasks requiring greater joint demand compared to matched peers. Greater movement compensation leads to increased loading onto other joints, decreased functional capacity and limited reserve for independence later in life. Understanding how preoperative predictors contribute to postoperative aberrant movement patterns is needed to make better decisions for patients considering total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Forty-seven patients were tested preoperatively and six months following primary total knee arthroplasty. Demographic (age, sex, body mass), self-reported (knee pain, perception of physical performance, physical activity level), physical performance (quadriceps strength, lower limb power and timed stair climbing) and surgical metrics were collected as predictor variables. Three-dimensional models based on joint mechanic asymmetry during a decline walking task were collected at six months postoperatively. Decline walking is a preferred means to assess the surgical knee's contribution to limb performance during high-demand tasks. Bootstrap inclusion fraction was employed to compare the stability of each predictor variable prior to the final regression model. RESULTS Preoperative quadriceps strength (β = 0.33; p = 0.04) showed a significant relationship with knee extensor angular impulse during loading phase. No other predictor variable had any meaningful relationship with aberrant movement patterns (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings highlight patients' preoperative quadriceps strength as a meaningful predictor of postoperative performance. Preoperative quadriceps strength should be addressed when considering the knee's ability to contribute to higher demanding mobility tasks following surgery.
