Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently one of the most common orthopedic surgeries due to the ever-increasing average life expectancy. The constant need for effective and accurate techniques was contributed to the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing in that field, especially for patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and custom-made implants fabrication. PSI may offer numerous benefits, such as resection accuracy, mechanical axis alignment, cost-effectiveness, and time economy. Nonetheless, the results of existing studies are controversial. For this purpose, a review article of the published articles was conducted to summarize the role of 3D-printed PSI in TKA.

Rudran B, Magill H, Ponugoti N, Williams A, Ball S. Functional outcomes in patient specific instrumentation vs. conventional instrumentation for total knee arthroplasty; a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:702. [PMID: 35870913 PMCID: PMC9308296 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05620-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is an established surgical option for knee osteoarthritis (OA). There are varying perceptions of the most suitable surgical technique for making bone cuts in TKA. Conventional Instrumentation (CI) uses generic cutting guides (extra- and intra-medullary) for TKA; however, patient specific instrumentation (PSI) has become a popular alternative amongst surgeons. Methods A literature search of electronic databases Embase, Medline and registry platform portals was conducted on the 16th May 2021. The search was performed using a predesigned search strategy. Eligible studies were critically appraised for methodological quality. The primary outcome measure was Knee Society Function Score. Functional scores were also collected for the secondary outcome measures: Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. Review Manager 5.3 was used for all data synthesis and analysis. Results There is no conclusive evidence in the literature to suggest that PSI or CI instrumentation is better for functional outcomes. 23 studies were identified for inclusion in this study. Twenty-two studies (18 randomised controlled trials and 4 prospective studies) were included in the meta analysis, with a total of 2277 total knee arthroplasties. There were 1154 PSI TKA and 1123 CI TKA. The majority of outcomes at 3-months, 6-months and 12 show no statistical difference. There was statistical significance at 24 months in favour of PSI group for KSS function (mean difference 4.36, 95% confidence interval 1.83–6.89). The mean difference did not exceed the MCID of 6.4. KSS knee scores demonstrated statistical significance at 24 months (mean difference 2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42—4.31), with a MCID of 5.9. WOMAC scores were found to be statistically significant favouring PSI group at 12 months (mean difference -3.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) -6.57- -0.36) and 24 months (mean difference -0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.28—-0.03), with high level of bias noted in the studies and a MCID of 10. Conclusions This meta-analysis of level 1 and level 2 evidence shows there is no clinical difference when comparing PSI and CI KSS function scores for TKA at definitive post operative time points (3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months). Within the secondary outcomes for this study, there was no clinical difference between PSI and CI for TKA. Although there was no clinical difference between PSI and CI for TKA, there was statistical significance noted at 24 months in favour of PSI compared to CI for TKA when considering KSS function, KSS knee scores and WOMAC scores. Studies included in this meta-analysis were of limited cohort size and prospective studies were prone to methodological bias. The current literature is limited and insufficiently robust to make explicit conclusions and therefore further high-powered robust RCTs are required at specific time points.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our systematic review and meta-analysis sought to assess how technology-assistance impacts (1) post-operative pain and (2) opioid use in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Four online databases were queried for studies published up to October 2021 that reported on pain and opioid usage between technology-assisted and manual TKA (mTKA) patients. Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) models were utilized to calculate pooled mean difference (MDs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs). Subgroup analyses were conducted to isolate robotic-arm assisted (RAA) and computed-assisted navigation (CAN) cohorts. Risk of bias was assessed for all included non-randomized studies with the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool. For the randomized control trials included in our study, the Detsky scale was applied. RESULTS Our analysis included 31 studies, reporting on a total of 761,300 TKAs (mTKA: n = 753,554; Computer-Assisted Navigation (CAN): n = 1,309; Robotic-Arm Assisted (RAA): n = 6437). No differences were demonstrated when evaluating WOMAC (MD: 0.00, 95% CI - 0.69 to 0.69; p = 1.00), KSS (MD: 0.01, 95% CI - 1.46 to 1.49; p = 0.99), KOOS (MD - 2.91, 95% CI - 6.17 to 0.34; p = 0.08), and VAS (MD - 0.54, 95% CI - 1.01 to - 0.007; p = 0.02) pain scores between cohorts. There was mixed evidence regarding how opioid consumption differed between TKA techniques. CONCLUSION The present analysis demonstrated no difference in terms of pain across a variety of utilized patient-reported pain measurements. However, there were mixed results regarding how opioid consumption varied between manual and technology-assisted cohorts, particularly in the immediate post-operative period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Using a patella reduced technique while balancing a TKA results in restored physiological strain in the collateral ligaments: an ex vivo kinematic analysis. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:1633-1644.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor soft tissue balance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often results in patient dissatisfaction and reduced joint longevity. Patella-in-place balancing (PIPB) is a novel technique which aims to restore native collateral ligament behavior without collateral ligament release, while restoring post-operative patellar position. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of this novel technique through a detailed ex vivo biomechanical analysis by comparing post-TKA tibiofemoral kinematics and collateral ligament behavior to the native condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight fresh-frozen cadaveric legs (89.2 ± 6 years) were tested on a validated dynamic knee simulator, following computed tomography imaging. Specimens were subjected to passive flexion (10-120°), squatting (35-100°), and varus/valgus laxity testing (10 Nm at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90° flexion). An optical motion capture system recorded markers affixed rigidly to the femur, tibia, and patella, while digital extensometers longitudinally affixed to the superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) collected synchronized strain data. Following native testing, a Stryker Triathlon CR TKA (Stryker, MI, USA) was performed on each specimen and the identical testing protocol was repeated. Statistical analyses were performed using a linear mixed model for functional motor tasks, while Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for laxity tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS Postoperative laxity was lower than the native condition at all flexion angles while post-operative ligament strain was lowered only for MCL at 30° (p = 0.017) and 60° (p = 0.011). Postoperative femoral rollback patterns were comparable to the native condition in passive flexion but demonstrated a more pronounced medial pivot during squatting. CONCLUSIONS Balancing a TKA with the PIPB technique resulted in reduced joint laxity, while restoring collateral ligament strains. The technique also seemed to restore kinematics and strains, especially in passive flexion.

Robotic-arm-assisted Knee Arthroplasty Associated With Favorable In-hospital Metrics and Exponentially Rising Adoption Compared With Manual Knee Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2021; 29:e1328-e1342. [PMID: 34037576 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-21-00146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Technology-assisted knee arthroplasty (KA), including robotic-arm-assisted knee arthroplasty (RA-KA) and computer-assisted (CA-KA) knee arthroplasty, was developed to improve surgical accuracy of implant positioning and alignment, which may influence implant stability, longevity, and functional outcomes. However, despite increased adoption over the past decade; its value is still to be determined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSE This study aimed to compare robotic-arm (RA)-KA, CA-KA, and manual (M)-KA regarding (1) in-hospital metrics (length of stay [LOS], discharge disposition, in-hospital complications, and hospitalization-episode costs), (2) characterize annual utilization trends, and (3) future RA-KA and CA-KA utilization projections. METHODS National Inpatient Sample was queried for primary KAs (unicompartmental/total; 2008 to 2018). KAs were classified by modality (M-KA/CA-KA/RA-KA) using International Classification of Disease-9/10 codes. A propensity score-matched comparison of LOS, discharge disposition, in-hospital complications (implant-related mechanical or procedure-related nonmechanical complications), and costs was conducted. Trends and projected utilization rates were estimated. RESULTS After propensity score matched to their respective M-KA cohorts, RA-KA and CA-KA exhibited shorter LOS (RA-KA versus M-KA: 2.0 ± 1.4 days versus 2.5 ± 1.8 days; P < 0.001; CA-KA versus M-KA: 2.7 ± 1.4 days versus 2.9 ± 1.6 days; P < 0.001) and in-hospital implant-related mechanical complications (P < 0.05, each). RA-KA demonstrated lower nonhome discharge (P < 0.001) and in-hospital procedure-related nonmechanical complications (P = 0.005). RA-KA had lower in-hospital costs ($16,881 ± 7,085 versus $17,320 ± 12,820; P < 0.001), whereas CA-KA exhibited higher costs ($18,411 ± 7,783 versus $17,716 ± 8,451; P < 0.001). RA-KA utilization increased from <0.1% in 2008 to 4.3% in 2018. CA-KA utilization rose temporarily to 6.2% in 2014, then declined to pre-2010 levels in 2018 (4.5%). Projections indicate that RA-KA and CA-KA will represent 49.9% (95% confidence interval, 41.1 to 59.9) and 6.2% (95% confidence interval, 5.3% to 7.2%) of KAs by 2030. DISCUSSION RA-KA may provide value through improving in-hospital metrics and mitigating net costs. Similar advantages may not be reliably attainable with CA-RA. Because RA-KA is projected to reach half of all knee arthroplasties done in the United States by 2030, further cost analyses and long-term studies are warranted.

Abstract
Objective To compare the application effects between personal specific instrumentation (PSI) and computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The literature comparing the application effects of PSI and CAS in TKA in recent years was widely consulted, and the difference between PSI-TKA and CAS-TKA in operation time, lower limb alignment, blood loss, and knee function were compared. Results Compared to CAS-TKA, PSI-TKA simplifies operation procedures and shortens operation time but probably has worse lower limb alignment. It is still controversial in comparison of perioperative blood loss and knee function between two techniques. Conclusion PSI-TKA and CAS-TKA both have advantages and disadvantages, and their differences need to be confirmed by further high-quality clinical trial.

Evaluation of the accuracy of resected bone thickness based on patient-specific instrumentation during total knee arthroplasty. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2021; 141:1583-1590.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), the correlation between the preoperative surgical plan and intraoperative resection size is unclear. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether the computed tomography (CT)-based PSI surgical plan can be executed accurately and to determine the accuracy of bone resection in TKA using PSI. METHODS Data of 45 consecutive knees undergoing TKA using CT-based PSI were retrospectively evaluated. The preoperative plan was prepared using three-dimensional CT acquisitions of the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Resected bone thicknesses of the femoral condyle of the distal medial, distal lateral, posterior medial, posterior lateral, and medial and lateral tibial plateaus were measured with a Vernier caliper intraoperatively. Then these respective measurements were compared with those in the preoperative CT-predicted bone resection surgical plan, and the measured thickness of resection was subtracted from the planned resection thickness. Errors were defined as: acceptable, ≤ 1.5 mm; borderline, 1.5-2.5 mm; and outliers, > 2.5 mm. RESULTS Overall, 22 (48.9%) knees had no outliers. There were 20 (44.4%) and 3 (6.7%) knees in which only 1 and 2 resection planes were outliers, respectively. The posterior medial tibial plateau had the lowest proportion of acceptable cuts (44.4%). Posterior femoral resection including the medial and lateral condyles had more outliers (n = 18/90 cuts, 20.0%) (p < 0.001) than the tibial condyles (n = 3/90 cuts, 3.3%) and distal femoral cuts (n = 6/90 cuts, 6.7%). The posterior surface of the femur, where the incidence of outliers was higher, tended to have a higher proportion of undercuts than other surfaces of the femur (> 80%). CONCLUSIONS PSI showed only fair-to-moderate accuracy. The cutting guide for the posterior femur was less accurate than that for the tibia and distal femur. Specific attention is required when cutting the posterior femur. The PSI design needs to be improved to reduce errors.

Patient-specific instrumentation improves functional kinematics of minimally-invasive total knee replacements as revealed by computerized 3D fluoroscopy. COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2020; 188:105250.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Minimally-invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) has demonstrated very good short-term success, but its mid- to long-term results remain inconclusive. The success may be related to the tradeoff between a small incision and accurate positioning of the implant components. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) aims to improve the accuracy in restoring the knee axis and the clinical outcomes for MIS-TKA, but the results are yet to be confirmed by accurate assessment during functional activities. The purpose of the current study was to measure and compare the in vivo three-dimensional (3D) rigid-body and surface kinematics of MIS-TKA implanted with and without PSI during isolated knee active flexion/extension and sit-to-stand using state-of-the-art 3D model-based fluoroscopy technology. METHODS Ten patients treated for advanced medial knee osteoarthritis by MIS-TKA without PSI (non-PSI group) and nine with PSI (PSI group) participated in the current study. Each subject performed non-weight-bearing knee flexion/extension and sit-to-stand tasks while the motion of the prosthetic knee was under bi-plane fluoroscopy surveillance. The computer models of each of the knee prosthesis components were registered to the measured fluoroscopy images for each time frame via a novel validated 3D fluoroscopy method. Non-parametric 1-tailed Mann-Whitney tests were performed to detect the differences in the joint and surface kinematic variables every 10° of knee flexion between the non-PSI and PSI groups. The 1-tailed significance level was at α = 0.05. RESULTS The PSI group showed clear, coupled flexion/internal rotation during activities, while the non-PSI group remained roughly at an externally rotated position with slight internal rotations. The coupled rotation in the PSI group was accompanied by an anterior displacement of the medial contact and a posterior displacement of the lateral contact, which was different from the screw-home mechanism. Neither of the two groups showed the normal roll-back phenomenon, i.e., posterior translation of the femur relative to the tibia during knee flexion. CONCLUSIONS With the state-of-the-art 3D fluoroscopy method, differences in both the rigid-body and surface kinematics of the prosthetic knees between MIS-TKA with and without PSI were identified. Patients with PSI demonstrated significant positive effects on the reconstructed rigid-body kinematics of the knee, showing clearer coupled flexion/internal rotations - an important kinematic characteristic in healthy knees - than those without PSI during activities with or without weight-bearing. However, none of them showed normal contact patterns. The current findings will be helpful for surgical instrument design, as well as for surgical decision-making in MIS total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. During the past decade, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been commercially introduced in order to simplify and make TKA surgery more effective, precise and efficient than conventional mechanical instrumentation (CI) and computer-assisted surgery (CAS). Nevertheless, there are critical arguments against PSI for routine use. The aim of the current manuscript is to describe advantages and limitations of PSI for primary TKA. AREAS COVERED By means of a description of the available literature different aspects are discussed (accuracy, clinical and functional outcomes, operative time, blood loss, efficiency and costs). EXPERT OPINION Most publications do not claim a significant increase in PSI accuracy over CI, but they also do not postulate PSIs accuracy is worse either. Regarding clinical aspects, PSI did not appear to give any advantage over standard techniques although, equally, it did not appear to show any disadvantages. PSI seems to reduce operative time, could reduce perioperative blood loss and provides logistical benefits in the operation room. Further studies will be required to more thoroughly assess all the advantages and disadvantages of this promising technology as an alternative to CI and CAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer navigation and image-derived instrumentation (IDI) are technology-based methods developed to improve outcomes and potentially reduce revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). IDI refers to the use of manufactured, patient-specific surgical jigs. Conflicting reports exist on IDI-associated improvements in outcomes. The primary aim of the current study was to compare the rates of revision among TKA cases in which components were initially implanted with use of IDI, computer navigation, or neither of these methods ("other" TKA). The secondary aim was to determine whether the outcomes of IDI differed for specific subgroups. METHODS Data were obtained from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) for the 3 TKA groups: IDI, computer-navigated, and other TKA. The study period was from the first IDI procedure recorded by the AOANJRR (April 2010) to December 31, 2016. The analysis was restricted to primary TKA cases undertaken for osteoarthritis and involving patellar resurfacing and the use of a cross-linked polyethylene insert. Subanalyses were performed to evaluate the effects of age, sex, implantation method, IDI manufacturer, prosthetic design, and prosthesis type on the rates of revision. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship described the time to first revision. Hazard ratios (HRs, Cox proportional hazards models) with adjustment for age and sex were used to compare revision rates. RESULTS IDI was used in 5,486 primary TKA procedures. There was no significant difference among the groups in the cumulative percent revision (CPR) at 5 years: 3.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.4% to 4.6%) for IDI, 2.4% (95% CI, 2.2% to 2.7%) for the computer-navigated group, and 2.5% (95% CI, 2.3% to 2.7%) for other TKA. Posterior-stabilized TKA with use of the IDI method had a significantly higher rate of revision at >3 months (HR, 1.45 [95% CI, 1.02 to 2.04]; p = 0.036), as did IDI TKA in the ≤65-year-old patient cohort (HR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.10 to 2.09]; p = 0.010), compared with computer-navigated TKA. Patellar revision was significantly more likely in the IDI group. CONCLUSIONS IDI TKA demonstrated no overall difference in early to mid-term revision rates compared with standard implantation methods. However, elevated rates of revision were seen with posterior-stabilized TKA, in patients ≤65 years of age, and for patellar revision, meaning that this method should be used with some caution and requires further study.

Three-dimensional analysis of accuracy of component positioning in total knee arthroplasty with patient specific and conventional instruments: A randomized controlled trial. Knee 2017; 24:1469-1477. [PMID: 28943039 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2017.08.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2017] [Revised: 08/23/2017] [Accepted: 08/30/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Component malalignment remains a major concern in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patient-specific guides (PSG) were developed to increase accuracy of bone resections and component placement, but available evidence is contradictory. We assessed the accuracy of 3D component placement in TKA with PSG compared to conventional surgery using virtual 3D bone models. METHODS Fifty patients were randomly assigned to the PSG or conventional instrumentation group, 44 were finally analyzed. Preoperatively, MRI and CT scans were converted into virtual 3D models and a surgical plan was developed. Surgery was performed and changes in component sizing were recorded. Postoperative CT images were converted to 3D models and aligned to the planned, preoperative models and implant orientation. Differences between planned and postoperative implant orientations were calculated in 3D. RESULTS PSG allowed significantly more accurate varus/valgus placement for the femoral component (PSG: 0.14±1.47; control: 1.40±1.99; p<0.05), but more slope was introduced (PSG: 2.82±2.42; control: 0.90±2.28; p<0.05). Less variability in positioning accuracy for femoral flexion angle and tibial rotation was found with PSG, indicating a result closer to the planned position, but no significant differences in positioning accuracy were found. PSG allowed more accurate prediction of the femoral (PSG: 100%; control: 64%) and tibial (PSG: 79%; control 56%) component size. CONCLUSION PSG led to adequate component positioning accuracy compared to the pre-operative plan. For the femoral component, the positioning was significantly closer to the planned position in the coronal plane, a similar trend was observed for the sagittal plane. But, for the tibial component, significantly more slope was introduced. A better prediction of component sizing was found with PSG compared to conventional surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes of patients receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using 3D printing technique and conventional surgical methods. METHODS From October, 2015 to February, 2017, 17 patients (20 knees) underwent TKA with the assistance of individualized navigation template and 16 concurrent patients (18 knees) matched for age, gender and knee society score received conventional TKA. The operation time, blood loss, and osteotomy data of the femoral condyle and tibia plateau were recorded. The mean femorotibial angle (MFTA) and sagittal tibial component angle (STCA) after the operation and the KSS at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. RESULTS All the patients were followed up for 7-23 months, during which no infection or prosthesis loosening or motion was found. In patients receiving surgery with 3D printing technique, the osteotomy data of the femoral condyle and tibia plateau in the actual surgeries were consistent with those in surgical plans (P>0.05). The patients in the 3D group had a significantly shorter operation time and a higher KSS score than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). Significant differences were found between the two groups in postoperative MFTA and STCA (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The application of 3D printing technique can simplify the surgical procedure and improve the surgical precision and efficacy of TKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE A 24-month prospective follow-up study was carried out to compare perioperative clinical outcomes, radiographic limb alignment, component positioning, as well as functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and conventional instrumentation (CI). METHODS Ninety consecutive patients, satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were scheduled to undergo TKA with either PSI or CI. A CT-based PSI was used in this study, and a senior surgeon performed all surgeries. Patients were clinically and functionally assessed preoperatively, 6 and 24 months post-operatively. Perioperative outcomes were also analysed, including operating time, haemoglobin loss, the need for blood transfusion, length of hospitalisation, and radiographic features. RESULTS At 24-month follow-up, clinical and functional outcomes were comparable between the two groups. PSI performed no better than CI in restoring lower limb mechanical alignment or improving component positioning. There were no differences in operating time, haemoglobin loss, transfusion rate, or length of hospitalisation between PSI and CI. CONCLUSION No significant clinical benefit could be demonstrated in using PSI over CI after 24 months, and routine use of PSI is not recommended in non-complicated TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was introduced with the aim of making the procedure of total knee arthroplasty more accurate and efficient. The purpose of this study was to compare PSI and standard instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty with regard to radiographic and clinical outcomes as well as operative time and blood loss. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. PubMed and Embase were searched from 2011 through 2015. We included randomized controlled trials and cohort studies that reported the effect of PSI on the aforementioned outcomes. The primary end point was deviation from the mechanical axis by >3°. Random and fixed-effect models were used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 44 studies, which included 2,866 knees that underwent surgery with PSI and 2,956 knees that underwent surgery with standard instrumentation, were evaluated. The risk of mechanical axis malalignment was significantly lower for PSI, with a pooled relative risk of 0.79 (p = 0.013). The risk of tibial sagittal-plane malalignment was higher for PSI than for standard instrumentation (relative risk = 1.32, p = 0.001), whereas the risk of femoral coronal-plane malalignment was significantly lower (relative risk = 0.74, p = 0.043). The risk of tibial coronal-plane malalignment was significantly higher for PSI only when employing fixed-effect meta-analysis (relative risk = 1.33, p = 0.042). Minor reductions in total operative time (-4.4 minutes, p = 0.002) and blood loss (-37.9 mL, p = 0.015) were noted for PSI. CONCLUSIONS PSI improves the accuracy of femoral component alignment and global mechanical alignment, but at the cost of an increased risk of outliers for the tibial component alignment. The impact of the increased probability of tibial component malalignment on implant longevity remains to be determined. Meta-analyses indicated significant differences with regard to operative time and blood loss in favor of PSI. However, these differences were minimal and, by themselves, not a substantial justification for routine use of the technology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) printing has numerous applications and has gained much interest in the medical world. The constantly improving quality of 3D-printing applications has contributed to their increased use on patients. This paper summarizes the literature on surgical 3D-printing applications used on patients, with a focus on reported clinical and economic outcomes. METHODS Three major literature databases were screened for case series (more than three cases described in the same study) and trials of surgical applications of 3D printing in humans. RESULTS 227 surgical papers were analyzed and summarized using an evidence table. The papers described the use of 3D printing for surgical guides, anatomical models, and custom implants. 3D printing is used in multiple surgical domains, such as orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, cranial surgery, and spinal surgery. In general, the advantages of 3D-printed parts are said to include reduced surgical time, improved medical outcome, and decreased radiation exposure. The costs of printing and additional scans generally increase the overall cost of the procedure. CONCLUSION 3D printing is well integrated in surgical practice and research. Applications vary from anatomical models mainly intended for surgical planning to surgical guides and implants. Our research suggests that there are several advantages to 3D-printed applications, but that further research is needed to determine whether the increased intervention costs can be balanced with the observable advantages of this new technology. There is a need for a formal cost-effectiveness analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been recently introduced in knee arthroplasty. There is no strong evidence from meta-analysis on comparison of functional outcomes between PSI and conventional instrumentation. METHODS Literature search of electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library for published randomized controlled trials was undertaken. Search was done using a predesigned search strategy. Eligible studies were critically appraised for the methodological quality using Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Functional scores used for meta-analysis were Knee Society Knee Score, Knee Society Function Scores, Oxford Knee Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, and Visual Analogue Scale score for pain (0-10 scale). RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials involving 379 total knee arthroplasties were eligible to be included in the meta-analysis. No significant improvement in short-term functional outcomes was seen after using PSI compared to the control group in terms of Knee Society Knee Score (weighted mean difference 0.65, 95% CI -4.41 to 5.70, P = .80) and Knee Society Function scores (weighted mean difference 0.01, 95% CI -3.26 to 3.28, P = .99), Oxford Knee Score (weighted mean difference 3.36, 95% CI -3.48 to 10.00, P = .34), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (weighted mean difference -7.47, 95% CI -23.94 to 8.99, P = .37), and Visual Analogue Scale score for pain (weighted mean difference -0.10, 95% CI -0.41 to 0.21, P = .53). CONSLUSION Current literature is insufficient to address whether there is a benefit of PSI in total knee arthroplasty in terms of improvement in functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proper alignment of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential for TKA function and may reduce the risk of aseptic failure. Technologies that prevent malalignment may reduce the risk of revision surgery. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to compare two competing TKA systems that purport improved alignment: patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), and a handheld portable navigation device (NAV). METHODS After IRB approval, 49 consecutive PSI TKAs (40 patients) were matched based on preoperative characteristics to 49 NAV TKAs (40 patients) performed by a single surgeon. A blinded observer measured alignment on digital radiographs. Operating room records were reviewed for procedure times. Two-tailed paired sample t tests and McNemar's test were used as appropriate. Alpha level was 0.05 for all tests. RESULTS Preoperative cohort characteristics were not different. Mean postoperative long-leg mechanical alignment was within ±1° of neutral for both groups, although statistically different (p = 0.026). There were no other significant differences in coronal alignment. PSI exhibited significantly greater posterior tibial slope (4.4°) compared to NAV (2.7°) (p = 0.004); PSI resulted in significantly more outliers (>6°; p = 0.004). Procedure time for unilateral TKAs was lower for PSI (74.4 min) compared to that for NAV (80.6 min; p = 0.023). CONCLUSION NAV and PSI technologies provided excellent coronal plane alignment. NAV was better for sagittal tibial slope, while PSI procedure times were shorter for unilateral TKA. The impact of these technologies on patient-reported outcomes and TKA survivorship is controversial and should be the focus of future research.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure of paramount relevance that restores a substantial degree of function in arthritic knees. Increased consideration has been given to the influence of limb alignment on longevity after TKA, as errors in component placement can be associated with inferior function and compromised long-term performance. Consequently, numerous studies comparing patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) to standard instruments (SI) have been published. Patient-specific approaches use preoperative imaging to create specific materials for each patient's anatomy and were designed to achieve a higher rate of success in TKA, causing the entire procedure to be more efficient and cost-effective. However, it is not clear to what degree these studies support the potential advantages of PSI. Thus, the present study aimed to review the current evidence comparing PSI to SI, concerning alignment, cost-effectiveness, and postoperative functional evaluation.

Abstract
Patient specific instrumentation (PSI) is a modern technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aiming to facilitate the implant of the prosthesis. The customized cutting blocks of the PSI are generated from pre-operative three-dimensional model, using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A correct surgical plan is mandatory for a good surgical implant. The PSI guide takes into account any slight deformities or osteophytes and applies preoperative planning for bone resection, using the pre-determined implant size, position, and rotation. The apparent benefits of this technology are that neutral postoperative alignment is more reproducible, surgical time is decreased, and the entire procedure results more efficient and cost-effective. The use of PSI is indicated when advanced osteoarthritis, severe pain, and limited function/walking ability are present, such as in a standard instrumentation TKA. In addition to that, PSI finds its indication when intra-medullary guides cannot be used. For example, when there is a post-traumatic femoral deformity. Large debates have taken place about this topic during the last years and, at the moment, there is no consensus in literature regarding the accuracy and reliability of PSI as many studies have shown controversial and inconsistent results. Literature does not suggest PSI techniques as a gold standard in TKA, and therefore it cannot be recommended as a standard technique in standard, not complicated primary TKA. Moreover, literature does not underline any improvement in components alignment, surgical time, blood loss or functional outcomes. Nevertheless, many patients who underwent TKA suffered a previous trauma. In case of deformities, like femoral or tibial fractures healed with a malalignment, preoperative planning may result difficult, and some intra-operative technical difficulties can occur, such as the use of intra-medullar rod. In these selected cases, PSIs may be very useful to avoid errors in alignment and planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Custom cutting guides (CCGs; sometimes called patient-specific instrumentation [PSI]) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) use preoperative three-dimensional imaging to fabricate cutting blocks specific to a patient's native anatomy. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purposes of this study were to determine if CCGs (1) improve clinical outcomes as measured by UCLA activity, SF-12, and Oxford knee scores; and (2) coronal mechanical alignment versus standard alignment guides. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing primary TKA using the same cruciate-retaining, cemented TKA system between January 2009 and April 2012. Patients were included if they were candidates for a unilateral, cruciate-retaining TKA and met other prespecified criteria; patients were allowed to self-select either an MRI-based CCG procedure or standard TKA. Ninety-seven of 120 (80.8%) patients in the standard and 104 of 124 (83.9%, p = 0.5) in the CCG cohort with a minimum of 1-year followup were available for analysis. The first 95 patients in the standard (mean followup, 3 years; range, 1-4 years) and CCG (mean followup, 2 years; range, 1-4 years) cohorts were compared. The alignment goal for all TKAs was a hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle of 0°. UCLA, SF-12, and Oxford knee scores were collected preoperatively and at each patient's most recent followup visit. Postoperative, rotationally controlled coronal scout CT scans were used to measure HKA alignment. Independent-sample t-tests and chi-square tests were used for comparisons with a p value ≤ 0.05 considered significant. RESULTS At the most recent followup, no differences were present between the two cohorts for range of motion (114° ± 14° in CCG versus 115° ± 15° in standard, p = 0.7), UCLA (6 ± 2 in CCG versus 6 ± 2 in standard, p = 0.7), SF-12 physical (44 ± 12 in CCG versus 41 ± 12 in standard, p = 0.07), or Oxford knee scores (39 ± 9 in CCG versus 37 ± 10 in standard, p = 0.1). No differences were present for the incremental improvement in the UCLA (1 ± 4 in CCG versus 1 ± 3 in standard, p = 0.5), SF-12 physical (12 ± 20 in CCG versus 11 ± 21, p = 0.8), or Oxford knee scores (16 ± 9 in CCG versus 19 ± 10 in standard, p = 0.1) from preoperatively to postoperatively. There was no difference in the percentage of outliers for alignment (23% in standard versus 31% in CCG with HKA outside of 0° ± 3°; p = 0.2) between the two cohorts. CONCLUSIONS At a mean followup of greater than 2 years, CCGs fail to demonstrate any advantages in validated knee outcome measure scores or coronal alignment as measured by CT scan versus the use of standard instrumentation in TKA. The clinical benefit of CCGs must be proven before continued implementation of this technology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective controlled study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current study investigated the accuracy in achieving proper lower limb alignment and individual component positions after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with 3 different instrumentation techniques. It was hypothesized that patient-specific instruments (PSI) would achieve more accurate lower limb alignment and component positions compared to conventional instruments (CON). METHODS Ninety knees in 81 patients were randomized in 1:1:1 ratio into CON, computer navigation (NAV) and PSI groups to receive TKA. The surgical routines were standardized. The lower limb mechanical axis and individual component positions were assessed on standard radiographs. Tourniquet time, operation time and patients' functional scores were documented. RESULTS Conventional instruments and PSI were more likely to result in an excessively flexed femoral component (p = 0.001) compared to NAV. Number of outliers in postoperative lower limb alignment, and other components positions in the coronal and sagittal plane showed no statistically significant difference. The mean tourniquet time and operation time was significantly shorter in CON and PSI groups than NAV group (p < 0.001). Four early complications occurred in the PSI group (p = 0.015). At 3-month follow-up, there was no difference in terms of the knee range of motion and patients' function among the 3 groups. CONCLUSION No significant radiological and clinical benefit could be demonstrated in using PSI over CON or NAV in TKA. Routine use of PSI is not recommended because of the extra cost and waiting time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I.

Abstract
In effort to reduce the revision burden of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), industry emphasis has focused on replacing manual techniques—which are subject to variability—with technological implements. Unfortunately, technological innovation often continues before adequate time for critical evaluation has passed. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive literature review was to collect a large sample of international data and report on the clinical and economic efficacy of three major types of technologically assisted TKA: navigation, patient-specific instrumentation, and sensorized trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a rising interest in the use of patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The goal of this meta-analysis was to compare PSI with conventional instrumentation (CI) in patients undergoing TKA. METHODS A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Springer, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Cochrane Library. A total of 10 randomized controlled studies involving 837 knees comparing outcomes of PSI TKAs with CI TKAs were included in the present analysis. Outcomes of interest included component alignment, surgical time, blood loss, and hospital stay. RESULTS The results presented no significant differences between the two instrumentations in terms of restoring a neutral mechanical axis and femoral component placement. However, their differences have been noted regarding the alignment of the tibial component in coronal and sagittal planes. Also, 3 min less surgical time was used in PSI patients. CONCLUSIONS Based on these findings, PSI appeared not to be superior to CI in terms of the post-operative mechanical axis of the limb or femoral component placement. Despite a statistical difference for operative duration, the benefit of a small reduction in surgical time with PSI is clinically irrelevant. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study (systematic review and meta-analysis), Level I.

Abstract
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) surgery may represent the next advancement in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In 2011, 60 patients were prospectively recruited and divided into two groups based on the patient's choice: (1) PSI surgery; and (2) conventional TKA. At two years after surgery, the Knee Society Function Score, Oxford Knee Score and SF-36 scores were comparable between the two groups. Although the Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS) was 9 ± 3 points better in the PSI group (P=0.008), the two years improvement in KSKS was comparable between the two groups. None of the patients required revision surgery. These findings cannot justify the additional costs and waiting time incurred by the patients with PSI surgery in the practice of a high volume surgeon.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) instrumentation and implant designs have been evolving, with one of the current innovations being patient-specific implants (PSIs). Purpose To evaluate whether there is a significant difference in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative range of motion, and length of stay between PSI and conventional TKA. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A consecutive series of 621 TKA patients, 307 with PSIs and 314 with conventional implants, was reviewed. Differences in estimated blood loss, length of stay, range of motion, and surgical time/tourniquet time between the 2 cohorts were analyzed. Results Linear regression analysis demonstrated that PSI decreased estimated blood loss by 44.72 mL (P < .01), decreased length of stay by 0.39 days (P < .01), decreased postoperative range of motion by 3.90° (P < .01), and had a negligible difference on surgical and tourniquet time. Conclusion The use of PSI is associated with decreased estimated blood loss, decreased length of stay, decreased range of motion, and no discernible difference in surgical or tourniquet time, all of which are unlikely to be clinically significant.

Abstract
AIM A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies assessing alignment outcomes in patient-specific instrumented (PSI) knee arthroplasty was conducted. MATERIALS AND METHODS PRISMA compliant data was extracted from literature databases up to January 2014. RESULTS Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria, reporting a total of 1792 knees. Twenty-three studies reported alignment outcomes in the coronal plane, 11 in the sagittal plane. In all but three series, MRI was the preoperative imaging modality. Range of mean postoperative alignment (hip-knee-ankle [HKA] angle) was 176.5 to 181.70. The proportion of three degrees of outliers showed an overall mean of 18.6%. In total, fifteen studies compared alignment outcomes between standard and PSI. From these, four studies showed significantly higher accuracy of coronal plane alignment with PSI (HKA angle). Meta-analysis of seven high-quality comparative studies demonstrated no significant increased accuracy in postoperative mechanical axis (HKA angle) with PSI. Subgroup meta-analysis of both femoral and tibial rotation was not feasible due to a low number of inclusive high-quality series. CONCLUSIONS PSI knee arthroplasty is shown not to confer increased accuracy in reconstituting the postoperative mechanical axis. Further studies are required to demonstrate both clinical and radiological alignment outcomes in PSI knee arthroplasty with focus upon tibial and femoral rotation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative quantitative assessment of glenoid bone loss, selection of the glenoid component, and definition of its desired location can be challenging. Placement of the glenoid component in the desired location at the time of surgery is difficult, especially with severe glenoid pathological conditions. METHODS Forty-six patients were randomly assigned to three-dimensional computed tomographic preoperative templating with either standard instrumentation or with patient-specific instrumentation and were compared with a nonrandomized group of seventeen patients with two-dimensional imaging and standard instrumentation used as historical controls. All patients had postoperative three-dimensional computed tomographic metal artifact reduction imaging to measure and to compare implant position with the preoperative plan. RESULTS Using three-dimensional imaging and templating with or without patient-specific instrumentation, there was a significant improvement achieving the desired implant position within 5° of inclination or 10° of version when compared with two-dimensional imaging and standard instrumentation. CONCLUSION Three-dimensional assessment of glenoid anatomy and implant templating and the use of these images at the time of surgery improve the surgeon's ability to place the glenoid implant in the desired location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific cutting blocks have been touted as a more efficient and reliable means of achieving neutral mechanical alignment during TKA with the proposed downstream effect of improved clinical outcomes. However, it is not clear to what degree published studies support these assumptions. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked: (1) Do patient-specific cutting blocks achieve neutral mechanical alignment more reliably during TKA when compared with conventional methods? (2) Does patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) provide financial benefit through improved surgical efficiency? (3) Does the use of patient-specific cutting blocks translate to improved clinical results after TKA when compared with conventional instrumentation? METHODS We performed a systematic review in accordance with Cochrane guidelines of controlled studies (prospective and retrospective) in MEDLINE® and EMBASE® with respect to patient-specific cutting blocks and their effect on alignment, cost, operative time, clinical outcome scores, complications, and survivorship. Sixteen studies (Level I-III on the levels of evidence rubric) were identified and used in addressing the first question, 13 (Level I-III) for the second question, and two (Level III) for the third question. Qualitative assessment of the selected Level I studies was performed using the modified Jadad score; Level II and III studies were rated based on the Newcastle-Ottawa scoring system. RESULTS The majority of studies did not show an improvement in overall limb alignment when PSI was compared with standard instrumentation. Mixed results were seen across studies with regard to the prevalence of alignment outliers when PSI was compared with conventional cutting blocks with some studies demonstrating no difference, some showing an improvement with PSI, and a single study showing worse results with PSI. The studies demonstrated mixed results regarding the influence of PSI on operative times. Decreased operative times were not uniformly observed, and when noted, they were found to be of minimal clinical or financial significance. PSI did reliably reduce the number of instrument trays required for processing perioperatively. The accuracy of the preoperative plan, generated by the PSI manufacturers, was found lacking, often leading to multiple intraoperative changes, thereby disrupting the flow of the operation and negatively impacting efficiency. Limited data exist with regard to the effect of PSI on postoperative function, improvement in pain, and patient satisfaction. Neither of the two studies we identified provided strong evidence to support an advantage favoring the use of PSI. No identified studies addressed survivorship of components placed with PSI compared with those placed with standard instrumentation. CONCLUSIONS PSI for TKA has not reliably demonstrated improvement of postoperative limb or component alignment when compared with standard instrumentation. Although decisive evidence exists to support that PSI requires fewer surgical trays, PSI has not clearly been shown to improve overall surgical efficiency or the cost-effectiveness of TKA. Mid- and long-term data regarding PSI's effect on functional outcomes and component survivorship do not exist and short-term data are scarce. Limited available literature does not clearly support any improvement of postoperative pain, activity, function, or ROM when PSI is compared with traditional instrumentation.
