Abstract
Morphological parameters of knee joint are related to race and nationality. At present, knee prosthesis come from white male population. Due to the mismatch between the prosthesis and other ethnic groups, the prosthesis life span is reduced, revision surgery and the patients' economic burden are increased. There is no data of the Mongolian ethnic group. In order to treat patients more accurately, we measured the Mongolian data of the femoral condyle. A total of 122 knee joints were scanned in 61 volunteers (21 males and 40 females) with an average age of 23.259 ± 1.395 years. The Mimics software was used to reconstruct the 3D image and measure the data of each line. The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as t test, and P < 0.05 was taken as the significant. 122 normal femoral condyle data were obtained. The mean transverse diameter of femoral condyle is 76.472 ± 5.952 mm, medial condyle is 29.259 ± 11.461 mm, and the sagittal diameter of the medial condyle was 56.758 ± 4.163 mm. The transverse diameter of the lateral femoral condyle is 29.388 ± 3.157 mm, the sagittal diameter of the lateral condyle is 58.937 ± 3.527 mm and the femoral plane rate is 1.264 ± 0.072. (1) There was no statistical significance in the left and right knee joint data (P > 0.05). (2) The different genders data of femoral condyle were statistically significant (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with other nationalities and races, the data of femoral condyle are different. (4) There are differences between femoral surface ratio and mainstream prosthesis data.

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. [PMID: 36656348 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-023-07318-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
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. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE In modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA), flexion and extension gaps between the femur and tibia are equilibrated before implanting the final components. Uncontrolled intraoperative posterior tibial translation (PTT) could cause an artifactual widening of the flexion gap, which could lead surgeons to alter the femoral component size. We designed an intraoperative posterior sagging control device to prevent intraoperative PTT. In this study, we investigated whether the use of this device could prevent artifactual widening of the flexion gap. METHODS Twenty-five patients, 21 women and four men, aged 74.2 years, were enrolled in this prospective study. All patients underwent postero-stabilized TKA using a navigation system. Intraoperative PTT, flexion and extension gaps with or without using the posterior sagging control device were measured with navigation system. These measurements were compared with or without the posterior sagging control device and after the final implantation also. RESULTS There were significant differences between the measurements performed with or without the posterior sagging control device when compared to the post-implantation measurements. The use of the device reduced the number of patients with a >3 mm increase in flexion gap from 7 (28%) to 1 (4%). CONCLUSION This study suggests that the posterior sagging control device prevents PTT and artificial flexion gap widening. This could prevent an unnecessary increase in component size.

Abstract
PURPOSE The literature suggests that "forgotten" knees are the most stable knees postoperatively. The main objective of our study was to determine whether a systematic alignment (mechanical, anatomical or kinematic) makes it possible to stabilise the operated joint in extension and in flexion. METHODS This monocentric prospective cohort study was conducted between May 1st, 2021 and October 31st, 2021. A total of 132 consecutive patients undergoing primary navigated total knee arthroplasty were included, with a mean age of 72.4 years (7.9; 48.8-91.2 years), a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.6 kg/m2 (4.6; 17.6-41.6) and 71.2% (94/132) women. Mechanical, anatomical and kinematic knee alignments were simulated using Kick software for each patient. The primary outcome was the targeted rate of balanced knees for each type of alignment, based on a three-point score, aiming for a 3/3 score for each knee. Our secondary outcome was to characterise the specific implantation finally achieved by the surgeon. RESULTS The targeted balance was reached in 10.6% (14/132), 10.6% (14/132) and 12.9% (17/132) of knees with mechanical, anatomical and kinematic alignment simulations, respectively. None of these simulations provided a superior number of balanced knees (p = 0.87). When simulating a patient-specific implantation, the highest score was reached in 89.1% (115/132) of cases. CONCLUSION Systematic alignment simulations achieved knee balance in only 11% of cases. Patient-specific implantation, favouring knee balancing over alignment, allowed an 89% perfect score rate without having to perform any collateral release. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case series. Level 4.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a novel machine learning algorithm capable of predicting TKA implant sizes using a large, multicenter database. METHODS A consecutive series of primary TKA patients from two independent large academic and three community medical centers between 2012 and 2020 was identified. The primary outcomes were final tibial and femoral implant sizes obtained from an automated inventory system. Five machine learning algorithms were trained using six routinely collected preoperative features (age, sex, height, weight, and body mass index). Algorithms were validated on an independent set of patients and evaluated through accuracy, mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean-squared error (RMSE). RESULTS A total of 11,777 patients were included. The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm had the best performance for femoral component size(MAE = 0.73, RMSE = 1.06) with accuracies of 42.2%, 88.3%, and 97.6% for predicting exact size, ± one size, and ± two sizes, respectively. The elastic-net penalized linear regression (ENPLR) algorithm had the best performance for tibial component size (MAE 0.70, RMSE = 1.03) with accuracies of 43.8%, 90.0%, and 97.7% for predicting exact size, ± one size, and ± two sizes, respectively. CONCLUSION Machine learning algorithms demonstrated good-to-excellent accuracy for predicting within one size of the final tibial and femoral components used for TKA. Patient height and sex were the most important factors for predicting femoral and tibial component size, respectively. External validation of these algorithms is imperative prior to use in clinical settings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case-control, III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs that allow the use of narrow-version femoral implants have been introduced to avoid femoral overhang. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of the use of narrow-version femoral implants and identify the difference in radiographic parameters between using a narrow-version femoral implant and a standard-version femoral implant in TKA. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 504 primary TKAs using a TKA system (Anthem or Persona) that allowed narrow-version femoral implants. Anteroposterior (AP) dimension, mediolateral (ML) dimension, and modified aspect percentage ratio (ML/AP dimension) of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs were compared between a standard-version group (n = 275) and a narrow-version group (n = 229). A cut-off value of a modified aspect percentage ratio indicating the need for a narrow-version femoral implant was determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Mean ML dimension was 80.9 ± 6.1 mm in the standard-version group and 77.3 ± 4.4 mm in the narrow-version group (p < 0.001). Mean modified aspect percentage ratio was 138.8 ± 8.1% in the standard-version group and 131.7 ± 6.3% in the narrow-version group (p < 0.001). The optimum cut-off point of the modified aspect percentage ratio for narrow-version femoral implants was 135.4% (sensitivity: 72.0%; specificity: 66.7%) for Anthem and 133.3% (sensitivity: 75.9%, specificity: 76.4%) for Persona. CONCLUSION In the narrow-version femoral implant group, the ML dimension and the mean modified aspect percentage ratio were smaller than in the standard-version femoral implant group. A smaller modified aspect percentage ratio of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs could predict the need for narrow-version femoral implants in TKA. It was suggested that the cut-off point could be suggested as 135.4% for Anthem TKA design and 133.3% for Persona TKA design. These radiographic parameters are cost-effective and easily applicable for planning a TKA.A smaller modified aspect percentage ratio of the distal femur in preoperative radiographs could predict the need for narrow-version femoral implants in TKA. The cut-off point was 135.4% for Anthem TKA design and 133.3% for Persona TKA design.

Abstract
Background: Kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) may lead to a different pattern of osteotomy from mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (MA-TKA). This paper aims to analyze the effects of KA and MA on the morphology of the distal femoral osteotomy surface. Methods: Computed tomography scans of 80 TKA candidates were reconstructed into 3D models. The measurement of bone morphology was performed after the distal femur cut according to two different alignment techniques. The aspect ratio, trapezoidicity ratio, and asymmetry ratio of the distal femur were assessed. Results: The aspect ratio and the asymmetry ratio in the KA group was significantly lower than that in the MA group in the general population (p < 0.001). The trapezoidicity ratio in the KA group was significantly higher than that in the MA group in the general population (p < 0.001). Conclusions: It was found that KA-TKA and MA-TKA presented different morphologies of the distal femoral osteotomy surface, and this difference was also influenced by gender. The surgery pattern of KA-TKA and MA-TKA and gender should be considered when surgeons choose femoral prostheses.

Validation and performance of a machine-learning derived prediction guide for total knee arthroplasty component sizing. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2021; 141:2235-2244.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anticipation of patient-specific component sizes prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential to avoid excessive cost associated with additional surgical trays and morbidity associated with imperfect sizing. Current methods of size prediction, including templating, are inconsistent and time-consuming. Machine learning (ML) algorithms may allow for accurate TKA component size prediction with the ability to make predictions in real-time. METHODS Consecutive patients receiving primary TKA between 2012 and 2020 from two large tertiary academic and six community hospitals were identified. The primary outcomes were the final femoral and tibial component sizes extracted from automated inventory systems. Five ML algorithms were trained with routinely corrected demographic variables (age, height, weight, body mass index, and sex) using 80% of the study population and internally validated on an independent set of the remaining 20% of patients. Algorithm performance was evaluated through accuracy, mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean-squared error (RMSE). RESULTS A total of 17,283 patients that received one of 9 TKA implants from independent manufacturers were included. The SGB model accuracy for predicting ± 4-mm of the true femoral anteroposterior diameter was 83.6% and for ± 1 size of the true femoral component size was 95.0%. The SGB model accuracy for predicting ± 4-mm of the true tibial medial/lateral diameter was 83.0% and for ± 1 size of the true tibial component size was 97.8%. Patient sex was the most influential feature in terms of informing the SGB model predictions for both femoral and tibial component sizing. A TKA implant sizing application was subsequently created. CONCLUSION Novel machine learning algorithms demonstrated good to excellent performance for predicting TKA component size. Patient sex appears to contribute an important role in predicting TKA size. A web-based real-time prediction application was created capable of integrating patient specific data to predict TKA size, which will require external validation prior to clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee stiffness after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often leads to pain and discomfort, failing to meet patients' expectations on the surgical procedure. Despite the growing debate on the topic, a comprehensive literature analysis of stiffness causes has never been conducted. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to systematically review the literature regarding the main causes of stiffness after TKA. METHODS Pubmed Central, Scopus, and EMBASE databases were systematically reviewed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for studies on stiffness and pain or discomfort after TKA through November 2020. Overall, 25 articles matched the selection criteria and were included in the study. Clinical relevance and strength of evidence of the included studies were graded using the risk of bias and the methodological index for non-randomized studies quality assessment tools. RESULTS The main causes of pain and discomfort due to stiffness were surgery-related issues, i.e., component malpositioning and over-voluming, implant loosening, psychological distress, and obesity, which could be considered "modifiable" factors, and expression of profibrotic markers, high material hypersensitivity-related cytokines level, male gender, previous contralateral TKA, and high pre-operative pain, which could be considered "non-modifiable" factors. CONCLUSION The use of alternative technologies such as surgical robots, anatomy-based devices, and more inert and less stiff component materials could help in reducing stiffness caused by both modifiable and even some non-modifiable factors. Furthermore, early diagnostic detection of stiffness onset could consistently support surgeons in patient-specific decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric differences between knees of Indonesian Asians and Dutch Caucasians and the fit of nine different knee implant systems. METHODS A total of 268 anteroposterior (AP) and lateral knee preoperative radiographs from 134 consecutive patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty at two different centres in Jakarta and Leiden were included. Both patient groups were matched according to age and sex and included 67 Asians and 67 Caucasians. We assessed the radiographic differences between the Asian and Caucasian anthropometric data. The dimensions of the nine knee implant designs (Vanguard, Genesis II, Persona Standard, Persona Narrow, GK Sphere, Gemini, Attune Standard, Attune Narrow, and Sigma PFC) were compared with the patients' anthropometric (distal femur and proximal tibia) measurements. RESULTS The Dutch Caucasian patients had larger mediolateral (ML) and AP femoral and tibial dimensions than the Indonesian Asians. The aspect ratios of the distal femur and tibia were larger in Asians than in Caucasians. The AP and ML dimensions were mismatched between the tibial components of the nine knee systems and the Asian anthropometric data. Both groups had larger ML distal femoral dimensions than the knee systems. CONCLUSION Absolute and relative differences in knee dimensions exist not only between Asian and Caucasian knees but also within both groups. Not all TKA systems had a good fit with the Asian and Caucasian knee phenotypes. An increase in the range of available knee component sizes would be beneficial, although TKA remains an adequate compromise. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Adverse knee pain occurs in 10–34% of all total knee replacements (TKR), and 20% of TKR patients experience more pain post-operatively than pre-operatively. Knee pain is amongst the top five reasons for knee replacement revision in the United Kingdom. The number of TKRs is predicted to continue increasing due to the ageing population. A narrative literature review was performed on the different causes of pain following TKR. A database search on Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar was conducted to look for articles related to TKR, pain, and cause. Articles were selected based on relevance, publication date, quality of research and validation. Relevant sections were added to the review. One hundred and fourteen articles were identified and potential causes of TKR pain included: arthrofibrosis, aseptic loosening, avascular necrosis, central sensitization, component malpositioning, infection, instability, nerve damage, overstuffing, patellar maltracking, polyethylene wear, psychological factors and unresurfaced patella. It is important to tailor our approach to address the individual causes of pain. Certain controllable risk factors can be managed pre-operatively to minimize post-operative pain. Risk factors help to predict adverse pain outcomes and identify specific causes. There are multiple causes of pain following TKR. Some factors will require further extensive studies, and as pain is a commonly attributed reason for TKR revision, its underlying aetiologies should be explored. Understanding these factors helps to develop effective methods for diagnosis, prevention and management of TKR pain, which help to improve patient outcomes.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:388-393. [PMID: 31604592 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.08.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Narrow femoral implants were developed to improve fit and prevent overhang in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We compared intraoperative soft tissue balance between standard and narrow implants in posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA. METHODS We enrolled 30 consecutive patients with varus osteoarthritis undergoing PS TKA using an image-free navigation system. Standard and narrow femoral trial implants were inserted, and their soft tissue balance was measured. Subgroup analysis, based on the actual implanted femoral implant, was performed to assess the influence of narrow implants on soft tissue balance. RESULTS Narrow trial group had significantly larger joint component gaps than standard trial group at all measured flexion angles, except at 60° (P < .05). For the standard implant cohort, narrow trial group had significantly larger joint component gaps than standard trial group at 30°, 120°, and 135° flexion (P < .05). For the narrow implant cohort, narrow trial group had significantly larger joint component gaps than standard trial group at all measured flexion angles, except at 0° and 60° (P < .05). Narrow trial group had significantly larger varus ligament balance than standard trial group at 45° and 60° flexion (P < .05). The varus angles for standard implants were comparable between groups; however, narrow trial group had significantly larger varus angles for narrow implants than standard trial group at 45°, 60°, and 120° flexion (P < .05). CONCLUSION The medial-lateral dimension and volume of the femoral component may influence intraoperative soft tissue balance in PS TKA. The effects may be greater when narrow implants are selected to avoid component overhang.

Sexual and ethnic polymorphism render prosthetic overhang and under-coverage inevitable using off-the shelf TKA implants. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2019; 27:2130-2139. [PMID: 30770956 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-019-05410-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Accepted: 02/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Unexplained pain and stiffness after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often result from mismatch between implant geometry and knee morphology, which depends on patient size, sex, and ethnicity. This study aimed to determine whether size, sex, or ethnicity are independently associated with distal femoral morphology in healthy Caucasian and Asian knees, and to compare anatomic ratios to those of commercially available TKA implants. METHODS Two series of computed tomography (CT) angiograms from France (264 knees) and China (259 knees) were used to digitize osteometric landmarks at the level of the femoral epicondyles, to measure anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) dimensions at the anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral zones. The aspect (ML/AP), trapezoidicity (MLp/MLa), and asymmetry (APl/APm) ratios, as well as the sulcus angle were calculated and compared to those of 9 TKA models. Multivariable analyses were performed to determine whether anatomic ratios were independently associated with sex, origin, or size. RESULTS Multivariable analyses revealed that, independently from size, female knees were narrower (β = - 0.03; p < 0.001) and more asymmetric (β = 0.02; p < 0.001), while Chinese knees were more trapezoidal (β = 0.04; p = 0.002) and asymmetric (β = 0.02; p < 0.001) with shallower trochleae (β = 6.4°; p < 0.001). Compared to native knees, most implants were too wide, and many of the recent models too 'trapezoidal'. Most prosthetic trochleae were too shallow compared to French knees, but within the third quartile of Chinese knees. CONCLUSIONS The morphology of the distal femur depends on sex and ethnicity independently from size. The wide spectrum of morphotypes observed cannot be covered by 'off-the-shelf' TKA models, and until customized implants become more accessible, prosthetic overhang, and under-coverage remain inevitable.
