Computer-assisted revision total knee arthroplasty does not improve postoperative knee prosthesis alignment compared to the conventional technique. J Exp Orthop 2024; 11:e12064. [PMID: 39021891 PMCID: PMC11252016 DOI: 10.1002/jeo2.12064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prosthesis alignment. However, literature on its use during revision TKA (rTKA) is scarce. Moreover, the effect of CAS during rTKA on rotational alignment of the prosthesis has not been described yet. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of CAS during rTKA, focusing on the number of outliers and coronal, sagittal and rotational prosthetic alignment compared to conventional rTKA. Methods A prospective cohort study comparing CAS-rTKA with a historical control group (CON-rTKA). The CAS-rTKA group (54 patients/62 knees) underwent rTKA using imageless CAS between 2012 and 2017. The CON-rTKA group (13 patients/23 knees) was operated using the conventional technique between 2002 and 2012. Postoperative alignment was measured using the EOS-2D/3D system (coronal and sagittal planes) and computed tomography scan (rotation). Results No significant differences between the CAS-rTKA and CON-rTKA groups were found for coronal and sagittal alignment regarding the mechanical angle of the leg (p = 0.08), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (p = 0.87), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (p = 0.40), anatomical proximal posterior tibial angle (p = 0.43) nor femoral (p = 0.80) and tibial rotation (p = 0.15). For the proportions of coronal, sagittal and rotational outliers, no significant differences were found either. Conclusion This study showed no evidence that use of CAS during rTKA leads to improved coronal, sagittal or rotational alignment of knee prostheses or a difference of outliers between the groups. Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study is to analyze the clinical-radiological outcomes of patients undergoing knee prosthesis revision surgery using constrained condylar prosthesis (LCCK; Zimmer-Biomet). MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of 89 patients operated on between the years 2008 and 2020 with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the WOMAC Index score and KOOS scales. Radiological results (radiolucent lines, osteolysis, and cortical hypertrophy) were evaluated by two independent observers. Implant survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS At the end of follow-up, a mean WOMAC Index score of 78.67 and KOOS score of 68.8 were obtained. Radiolucent lines (both non-progressive and progressive) were detected in 83.3% of the patients in the sample. Areas of osteolysis > 5 mm around the components were present in 6.75%. Cortical hypertrophy was seen around the femoral stem in 20.3% of cases, around the tibial stem in 20.3% and around both components in 6.76%. No statistically significant relationship was found between the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis or cortical hypertrophy with functional results. Implant survival was 88.1% at 13 years. CONCLUSION The present study shows high survival of LCCK prosthesis in revision surgery. The progressive radiolucencies, were associated with worst clinical outcome.

Abstract
Artificial knee arthroplasty, as the most effective method for the treatment of end-stage joint diseases such as knee osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, is widely used in the field of joint surgery. At present, Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used in artificial knee replacement biomechanical research. This review presents the current hotspots for the application of FEA in the field of artificial knee replacement by reviewing the existing research literature and, by comparison, summarizes guidance and recommendations for artificial knee replacement surgery. We believe that lower contact stress can produce less wear and complications when components move against each other, in the process of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), mobile-bearing prostheses reduce the contact surface stress of the tibial-femoral joint compared with fixed-bearing prostheses, thus reducing the wear of the polyethylene insert. Compared with mechanical alignment, kinematic alignment reduces the maximum stress and maximum strain of the femoral component and polyethylene insert in TKA, and the lower stress reduces the wear of the joint contact surface and prolongs the life of the prosthesis. In the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the femoral and tibial components of mobile-bearing prostheses have better conformity, which can reduce the wear of the components, while local stress concentration caused by excessive overconformity of fixed-bearing prostheses should be avoided in UKA to prevent accelerated wear of the components, the mobile-bearing prosthesis maintained in the coronal position from 4° varus to 4° valgus and the fixed-bearing prosthesis implanted in the neutral position (0°) are recommended. In revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA), the stem implant design should maintain the best balance between preserving bone and reducing stress around the prosthesis after implantation. Compared with cemented stems, cementless press-fit femoral stems show higher fretting, for tibial plateau bone defects, porous metal blocks are more effective in stress dispersion. Finally, compared with traditional mechanical research methods, FEA methods can yield relatively accurate simulations, which could compensate for the deficiencies of traditional mechanics in knee joint research. Thus, FEA has great potential for applications in the field of medicine.

Abstract
To map literature on prognostic factors related to outcomes of revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), to identify extensively studied factors and to guide future research into what domains need further exploration. We performed a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science. The search string included multiple synonyms of the following keywords: "revision TKA", "outcome" and "prognostic factor". We searched for studies assessing the association between at least one prognostic factor and at least one outcome measure after rTKA surgery. Data on sample size, study design, prognostic factors, outcomes, and the direction of the association was extracted and included in an evidence map. After screening of 5,660 articles, we included 166 studies reporting prognostic factors for outcomes after rTKA, with a median sample size of 319 patients (30 to 303,867). Overall, 50% of the studies reported prospectively collected data, and 61% of the studies were performed in a single centre. In some studies, multiple associations were reported; 180 different prognostic factors were reported in these studies. The three most frequently studied prognostic factors were reason for revision (213 times), sex (125 times), and BMI (117 times). Studies focusing on functional scores and patient-reported outcome measures as prognostic factor for the outcome after surgery were limited (n = 42). The studies reported 154 different outcomes. The most commonly reported outcomes after rTKA were: re-revision (155 times), readmission (88 times), and reinfection (85 times). Only five studies included costs as outcome. Outcomes and prognostic factors that are routinely registered as part of clinical practice (e.g. BMI, sex, complications) or in (inter)national registries are studied frequently. Studies on prognostic factors, such as functional and sociodemographic status, and outcomes as healthcare costs, cognitive and mental function, and psychosocial impact are scarce, while they have been shown to be important for patients with osteoarthritis.

Abstract
AIMS OF THE STUDY Structured exercise, education, weight management and painkiller prescription are guideline recommended non-surgical treatments for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Despite its endorsement, uptake of guideline recommended non-surgical treatments remains low. It is unknown whether the implementation of these treatments into the current model of care for knee osteoarthritis would be cost-effective from a Swiss statutory healthcare perspective. We therefore aimed to (1) assess the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of an optimised model of care incorporating guideline recommended non-surgical treatments in adults with knee osteoarthritis and (2) the effect of total knee replacement (TKR) delay with guideline recommended non-surgical treatments on the cost-effectiveness of the overall model of care. METHODS A Markov model from the Swiss statutory healthcare perspective was used to compare an optimised model of care incorporating guideline recommended non-surgical treatments versus the current model of care without standardised guideline recommended non-surgical treatments. Costs were derived from two Swiss health insurers, a national database, and a reimbursement catalogue. Utility values and transition probabilities were extracted from clinical trials and national population data. The main outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for three scenarios: "base case" (current model of care vs optimised model of care with no delay of total knee replacement), "two-year delay" (current model of care vs optimised model of care + two-year delay of total knee replacement) and "five-year delay" (current model of care vs optimised model of care + five-year delay of total knee replacement). Costs and utilities were discounted at 3% per year and a time horizon of 70 years was chosen. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS The "base case" scenario led to 0.155 additional quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) per person at an additional cost per person of CHF 341 (ICER = CHF 2,203 / QALY gained). The "two-year delay" scenario led to 0.134 additional QALYs and CHF -14 cost per person. The "five-year delay" scenario led to 0.118 additional QALYs and CHF -501 cost per person. Delay of total knee replacement by two and five years led to an 18% and 36% reduction of revision surgeries, respectively, and had a cost-saving effect. CONCLUSION According to this Markov model, the optimisation of the current model of care by implementing guideline recommended non-surgical treatments would likely be cost-effective from a statutory healthcare perspective. If implementing guideline recommended non-surgical treatments delays total knee replacement by two or five years, the amount of revision surgeries may be reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient satisfaction is becoming an increasingly important measure of healthcare quality. Satisfaction following RTKA is poorly described within the literature, resulting in difficulty for clinicians to manage patient expectations and obtain informed consent. METHODS We investigated postoperative satisfaction of RTKA patients by a single surgeon, using a single prosthesis, at a single institution. Patient satisfaction was assessed using structured telephone assessment questionnaires and review of orthopaedic/hospital records. The effect of patient and surgical characteristics on satisfaction was assessed using correlation coefficients and binary logistic regression in SPSS. RESULTS Two hundred and two RTKAs were performed in 178 patients between 2004 and 2015 inclusive. One hundred and twenty-four patients (143 RTKAs) were contactable to complete satisfaction assessment. Eighty-five percent of patients were satisfied and would have the RTKA again, 8% were unsure, 7% would not. Mean reported satisfaction on a numerical scale (1-10) was 8.17 (range 1-10), with 74% of patients scoring 8 or above, and 35% of patients scoring 10. The Mahomed Satisfaction Scale outcomes demonstrated a mean score of 87.7. High positive correlation was found between assessment tools. Logistic regression analysis identified factors contributing to satisfaction included ROM, OKS, BMI, and surgical time. CONCLUSION This cohort demonstrated high patient satisfaction rate following RTKA, utilizing simple and reliable outcome measurement tools. We found a high positive correlation between methods of assessment, and moderate positive correlation between satisfaction and functional outcomes. These results contribute to the understanding of satisfaction in RTKA patients, which may assist in informing patients of expected post-operative outcomes.

Abstract
Aseptic implant loosening is the most common reason for revision surgery after total knee replacement. This is associated with adverse biological reactions to wear debris from the articulating implant components. To predict the amount of wear debris generated in situ, standard wear testing of total knee replacement (TKR) is carried out before its clinical use. However, wear data reported on retrievals of total knee replacement (TKR) revealed significant discrepancies compared with standard wear simulator studies. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the wear patterns on identical posterior-cruciate-retaining TKR designs by analyzing retrieved and experimentally tested implants. The identification and classification of wear patterns were performed using 21 retrieved ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMW-PE) inserts and four sets of inserts of identical design and material tested in a knee wear simulator. These four sets had undergone different worst-case conditions and a standard test in a wear simulator according to ISO 14243-1. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the polyethylene inserts were performed, including the determination of seven modes of wear that correspond to specific wear patterns, the calculation of wear areas, and the classification of the damage over the whole articulating area. Retrieved and standard wear simulator-tested UHMW-PE inserts showed significant differences in wear area and patterns. The total wear areas and the damage score were significantly larger on the retrievals (52.3% versus 23.9%, 32.7 versus 22.7). Furthermore, the range of wear patterns found on the retrievals was not reproducible in the simulator-tested inserts. However, good correspondence was found with the simulator-tested polyethylene inserts under worst-case conditions (third body wear), i.e., deep wear areas could be replicated according to the in vivo situation compared with other wear test scenarios. Based on the findings presented here, standard simulator testing can be used to directly compare different TKR designs but is limited in the prediction of their in situ wear. Preclinical wear testing may be adjusted by worst-case conditions to improve the prediction of in situ performance of total knee implants in the future.

Abstract
AIMS Both the femoral and tibial component are usually cemented at revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), while stems can be added with either cemented or press-fit (hybrid) fixation. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term stability of rTKA with cemented and press-fitted stems, using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). METHODS This is a follow-up of a randomized controlled trial, initially involving 32 patients, of whom 19 (nine cemented, ten hybrid) were available for follow-up ten years postoperatively, when further RSA measurements were made. Micromotion of the femoral and tibial components was assessed using model-based RSA software (RSAcore). The clinical outcome was evaluated using the Knee Society Score (KSS), the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and visual analogue scale (pain and satisfaction). RESULTS The median total femoral translation and rotation at ten years were 0.39 mm (interquartile range (IQR) 0.20 to 0.54) and 0.59° (IQR 0.46° to 0.73°) for the cemented group and 0.70 mm (IQR 0.15 to 0.77) and 0.78° (IQR 0.47° to 1.43°) for the hybrid group. For the tibial components this was 0.38 mm (IQR 0.33 to 0.85) and 0.98° (IQR 0.38° to 1.34°) for the cemented group and 0.42 mm (IQR 0.30 to 0.52) and 0.72° (IQR 0.62° to 0.82°) for the hybrid group. None of these values were significantly different between the two groups and there were no significant differences between the clinical scores in the two groups at this time. There was only one re-revision, in the hybrid group, for infection and not for aseptic loosening. CONCLUSION These results show good long-term fixation with no difference in micromotion and clinical outcome between fully cemented and hybrid fixation in rTKA, which builds on earlier short- to mid-term results. The patients all had type I or II osseous defects, which may in part explain the good results. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(7):875-883.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aims to analyze long-term clinical and radiographic results, and survival of re-revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using fully cemented stems performed on femurs with diaphyseal deformation. METHODS Thirty-seven re-revision TKAs using fully cemented stems performed in femoral diaphyseal deformations, characterized as diaphyseal canal enlargement and cortex deformation due to aseptic loosening of previously implanted stems, between 2003 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 10.0 years. Clinically, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and range of motion (ROM) were evaluated. Radiographically, mechanical axis (MA) and component positions were measured. Complications and survival rates were also analyzed. RESULTS Clinically, the WOMAC significantly improved at final follow-up (61.2 vs 47.2, p < 0.001), but not the ROM (95.5 vs 102.5, p = 0.206). Radiographically, the MA and component positions were appropriate, with no changes in component positions from immediately post-operative to final follow-up, but with MA change from varus 2.9° to 3.7° (p = 0.020). Two cases (5.4%) with history of previous infections developed periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Debridement with polyethylene insert exchange following antibiotic suppression were performed in those cases because of concern for difficult implant-cement removal. The five and ten year survival rates were 100% and 93.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION Fully cemented stems are viable in providing long-term satisfactory survival after re-revision TKA in patients with femoral diaphyseal deformation. However, it should be used carefully for those with previous infections.

Abstract
Background Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in hemophilic arthropathy (HA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can improve functional ability, the postoperative range of motion (ROM) and prosthesis durability are reduced compared with those in osteoarthritic patients. Aim We aimed to compare (1) the pre- and postoperative flexion contracture after TKA in HA and RA, (2) the threshold of preoperative flexion contracture as a predictor of residual contracture > 15° after TKA, and (3) the survival rate. Methods Data from a consecutive cohort comprising 48 TKAs in HA and 92 TKAs in RA were retrospectively reviewed. The degree of flexion contracture was analyzed. Through receiver operating characteristics analysis, we aimed to determine the cutoff value of preoperative flexion contracture that increases the risk of residual contracture > 15° after TKA and compare the cutoff value in HA and RA. The survival rate was evaluated based on life table analysis and the Kaplan–Meier method. Results The degree of preoperative flexion contracture was not significantly different. The degree of postoperative residual flexion contracture was 5.6° in the HA group and 1.4° in the RA group, respectively (p < 0.001). The cutoff value of preoperative flexion contracture for residual contracture of > 15° at last-follow up was 25.0° in the HA group and 32.5° in the RA group. The 5- and 12-year survival rates were 96% and 87% in the HA and 99% and 95% in the RA group, respectively (n.s.). Conclusions The postoperative residual flexion contracture was greater and the cutoff value of preoperative flexion contracture for residual contracture was smaller in the HA group than the RA group. Appropriate intra- and postoperative care to avoid postoperative residual contracture is required in HA patients. Level of evidence III.

Abstract
Backgroud The longer-term outcomes of revision total knee arthroplasty are not well described in the current literature. Managing patient expectations of revision total knee arthroplasty can be challenging for orthopedic surgeons due to a paucity of data to guide decision-making. We present outcomes of revision total knee arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon over a 12-year period from 2004 through 2015. Methods A retrospective review of hospital and private medical records demonstrated 202 revision total knee arthroplasties performed by the senior author in 178 patients from 2004 through 2015. Of these, 153 patients were available for assessment. Patients were contacted and invited to participate in a structured telephone interview to assess Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and patient satisfaction. All patients received the PFC (Depuy) prosthesis at a single institution and were followed up for minimum 2 years postoperatively at the time of review. Retrospective chart review was used to obtain other data for analysis including patient demographics, preoperative and postoperative range of motion (ROM), and intraoperative details. Results This cohort demonstrated a 93.5% survival rate and an 85% satisfaction rate at a mean of 6.5 years postoperatively. Mean ROM improved from 100° (range, 5°–145°) to 112° (range, 35°–135°) (p < 0.001). The mean OKS was 39.25 (range, 14–48). The factors associated with improved postoperative outcomes included male gender, fewer previous revision total knee arthroplasty procedures, increased preoperative ROM, and receiving a less constrained implant. Conclusions This study provides a comprehensive description of outcomes following revision total knee arthroplasty in a large patient cohort with a long follow-up. Although revision total knee arthroplasty is a challenging and complex aspect of arthroplasty surgery, high patient satisfaction and good functional outcomes can be achieved for the majority of patients.

Abstract
Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenging surgical procedure. Although good results are presented, the outcomes are worse in comparison with those of primary TKA, with a higher failure rate. The main reasons for the failure of revision TKA include: sepsis, loosening and instability. There are multiple variables linked to these results, and it is difficult to determinate the exact cause as it is often a multifactorial issue. These variables may be related to the quality of the index-procedure (TKA), to the revision procedure or to patient characteristics. The purpose of this review was to highlight the outcomes of revision knee arthroplasty and main factors that may influence the results. Considerable progress has been made during the last 30 years regarding infection treatment and prevention, complex revision prosthetic design and surgical technique development. Although the outcomes have improved over time, patients who undergo revision TKA may need further re-operations in the future.

Abstract
Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a challenging procedure with often unreproducible results. A step-by-step approach is fundamental to achieving good outcomes. Successful surgery requires a correct diagnosis of the original cause of failure. Only with an accurate and detailed plan can surgeons overcome difficulties presented in this scenario. Any bone loss should be prevented during prosthetic component removal. Efficient tools must be chosen to avoid time-consuming manoeuvres. Joint reconstruction based on a ‘dual-zone’ fixation is essential to provide a long-term survivorship of the implant. The use of relatively short fully cemented stems combined with a biological metaphyseal fixation is highly recommended by authors. Flexion and extension gaps are accurately balanced after the establishment of the tibial platform. Varus-valgus laxity is commonly managed with a condylar constrained prosthesis. If hinged implants are required, a stronger implant fixation is needed to counteract constraints forces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee replacements are common and effective operations but patients that undergo this intervention are at risk of needing subsequent costly and often complex revision surgery with poorer outcomes than primary surgery. The treatment pathway over the life of the patient in terms of risk of revision and re-revision(s) is poorly described. We aim to provide detailed information on the longevity of revision surgery. METHODS This was a retrospective observational registry-based study of the National Joint Registry. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to determine the cumulative probability of revision and subsequent re-revision(s) following primary knee replacement. Analyses were stratified by age and gender and the influence of time from first to second revision on the risk of further revision was explored. FINDINGS There were 33,292 revision knee replacements with a linked primary episode. Revision rates of revision knee replacements were higher in males and younger patients. 19·9% of revisions were revised again within 13 years, 20·7% of second revisions were revised again within 5 years and 20·7% of third revisions were revised again within 3 years. A shorter time between revision episodes was associated with earlier subsequent revision. INTERPRETATION Males and younger patients are at higher risk of multiple revisions. Patients who undergo a revision have steadily increasing risk of further revision the more procedures they undergo, and each subsequent revision lasts for approximately half the time of the previous one.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overall satisfaction of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is approximately 80%, and current studies have demonstrated that patients with depression may have lower patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether perioperative psychological intervention in patients with depression improves the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing TKA. METHODS Six hundred patients who underwent primary TKA from May 2016 to January 2018 were prospectively screened for eligibility. A preoperative psychological evaluation was conducted by a psychiatrist to evaluate each patient's psychological status. Patients who were diagnosed with depression were randomly divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (patients received psychological interventions that were administered by a psychiatrist at the first visit before surgery and from then on) and the control group (patients received routine TKA care without psychological interventions). The primary outcome was patient satisfaction at 6 months postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction at 2 years postoperatively as well as the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, and range of motion at 6 months and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-three patients with depression were identified. Fifty-one patients were enrolled in the randomized controlled trial. Two patients were lost to follow-up at 6 months after surgery. Therefore, 49 patients (25 in the intervention group and 24 in the control group) remained in the final analysis. At 6 months postoperatively, statistical differences in patient satisfaction were identified between the 2 groups (88.0% in the intervention group compared with 62.5% in the control group; odds ratio = 4.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 18.99). There was a significant improvement in the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score (the reduction rate was 51.97% in the intervention group compared with 17.35% in the control group) and the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90-R) subscore for depression (the reduction rate was 44.66% in the intervention group compared with 15.73% in the control group). The clinical outcomes, including the WOMAC scores, the HSS scores, and maximal range of motion, in the intervention group had improved significantly more compared with those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Psychological interventions during the perioperative period can improve patient satisfaction in patients with depression who undergo TKA. Therefore, psychological intervention and management may be beneficial for patients with depression who are planning to undergo TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) rates are increasing in younger patients. Few studies have assessed outcomes of initial aseptic rTKA performed for younger patients compared with traditional-aged patients. METHODS A detailed medical record review was performed to identify patient demographics, medical comorbidities, surgical rTKA indications, timing from index TKA to rTKA, subsequent reoperation rates, component rerevision rates, and salvage procedures for 147 young patients (158 knees) aged 55 years and younger and for a traditional older cohort of 276 patients (300 knees) between 60 and 75 years. Univariate analysis was performed to assess differences in these primary variables, and a log-rank test was used to estimate 5-year implant survival based on either reoperation or component revision and salvage procedures. RESULTS Younger TKA patients were more likely to undergo initial aseptic rTKA within 2 years of their primary TKA (52.5% vs 29.0%, P < .001) and were more likely to undergo early reoperation (17.7% vs 9.7%, P = .02) or component rerevision (11.4% vs 6.0%, P < .05) after rTKA. Infection and extensor mechanism complications were more commonly noted in younger patients. Estimated 5-year survival was also lower for both reoperation (59.4% vs 65.7%, P = .02) and component rerevision or salvage (65.8% vs 80.1%, P = .02). CONCLUSION Early reoperation and component re-rTKA were performed nearly twice as often in younger rTKA than traditional-aged TKA patients. Care should be given to reduce perioperative infection and extensor mechanism failures after rTKA in younger patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate quantification of bone loss facilitates preoperative planning and standardization for research purposes in patients who undergo revision TKA. The most commonly used classification to rate bone defects in this setting, the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute classification, does not quantify diaphyseal bone loss and reliability has not been well studied. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We developed a new classification scheme to rate bone defects in patients undergoing revision TKA and tested (1) the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of this classification for revision TKA based on preoperative radiographs, and (2) whether additional CT images might improve interobserver reliability. METHODS This was a preregistered observational study. Interobserver reliability was analyzed using preoperative radiographs of 61 patients who underwent (repeat) revision TKA, and their bone defects were rated by five experienced orthopaedic surgeons. For intraobserver reliability, ratings were repeated at least 2 weeks after the first rating (Timepoints 1 and 2). Directly after the radiographic assessments of Timepoint 2, the observers were provided with CT images of each patient and asked to rate the bone defects for a third time (Timepoint 3), to assess the additional value of CT. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were tested using Gwet's agreement coefficient 2, which is a measure of agreement between observers in categorical data. Substantial agreement was defined as coefficients between 0.61 to 0.8 and almost perfect agreement as > 0.8. RESULTS The intraobserver reliability varied between 0.55 (95% CI 0.40 to 0.71) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.96) in the epiphysis, between 0.69 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.80) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.95 to 1) in the metaphysis, and between 0.95 (95% CI 0.90 to 0.99) and 0.99 (95% CI 0.98 to 1) in the diaphysis. The interobserver reliability varied between 0.48 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.57) and 0.49 (95% CI 0.42 to 0.56) in the epiphysis and between 0.81 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.87) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.83 to 0.93) in the metaphysis, and was 0.96 (95% CI 0.93 to 0.99) in the diaphysis at Timepoint 1. The interobserver reliability at Timepoint 2 was similar to that of Timepoint 1. The addition of CT images did not improve reliability (Timepoint 3). CONCLUSIONS The bone defect classification was less reliable in the epiphyseal area compared with the metaphysis and diaphysis. This finding may be explained by prosthetic components obscuring this region or the more severe bone defects in this region. The addition of CT scans did not improve reliability. Further testing of reliability with observers from other institutions is necessary, as well as validity testing, by testing the classification in relation to intraoperative findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life expectancy and higher complication rates have made the routine use of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in elderly patients disputed by some authors. The purpose of this study was to assess patient and implant survivorship, complication and revision rates, and patient-reported outcomes (PROMS) in a cohort of patients aged above 80 years undergoing TKA. A comparison with a propensity matched cohort of patients of average age within our database for TKA was performed. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collected data identified 644 patients over the age of 80 years undergoing a TKA within a 14-year period. After calculating the average age of all TKA patients within the reviewed database, a cohort deemed average age was created within 1 standard deviation of the average age and matched using the following criteria: gender, surgeon, diagnosis, procedure type, and year. The primary outcomes were survivorship of the implant and the patient. The secondary outcomes were complications, transfusion rates, discharge destination, and PROMS. RESULTS The revision rate was low for both groups (P = .051). Implant survivorship at 10 years was similar (P = .07). Mortality rate was higher in the elderly (P < .001). General complication rate was higher in the elderly (P = .031). Surgical complications rates were similar (P = .702). The PROMS at final follow-up were 4% lower in the elderly (P < .001). CONCLUSION TKA in the elderly is a safe procedure. With measures minimizing the perioperative complications and blood loss, the outcome can be expected to be similar to patients of average age. The projected implant and patient survivorship in the elderly cohort is long enough to suggest that TKA in the elderly could have a high impact on remaining quality of life.

Abstract
Background Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a demanding procedure, with a high complication and failure rate and a high rate of bone losses and poor bone quality. Different classifications for bone losses have been proposed, but they do not consider bone quality, which may affect implant fixation. The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of a consecutive series of rTKA. Furthermore, a modified bone loss classification will be proposed based also on bone quality. Finally, the association between radiolucent line (RLL) development and different risk factors will be evaluated. Methods All the patients who underwent rTKA between 2008 and 2016 in the same institution were included. rTKAs were performed by the same surgeon according to the three-step technique. Bone losses were classified according to the proposed classification, including bone quality evaluation. The Knee Scoring System (KSS), the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS), and the SF-12 were used for the clinical evaluation. Radiological evaluation was performed according to the Knee Society Roentgenographic Evaluation System. Different possible risk factors (i.e., gender, age, amount of bone losses) associated to RLL development were identified, and this association was evaluated using logistic regression. Results Fifty-one patients (53 knees) were included (60.8% female, average age 71.5 years). The average follow-up was 56.6 months (range 24–182). The most frequent cause of failure was aseptic loosening (41.5%). 18.9% of the cases demonstrated poor bone quality. Bone losses were treated according to the proposed algorithm. In all the cases, there was a significant improvement in all the scores (P < 0.05). The average post-operative range of motion was 110.5° (SD 10.7). At the radiological evaluation, all the implants resulted well aligned, with 15.1% of non-progressive RLL. There were 2 failures, with a cumulative survivorship of 92.1% at the last follow-up (SD 5.3%). At the logistic regression, none of the evaluated variables resulted associated to RLL development. Conclusion rTKA is a demanding procedure, and adequate treatment of bone losses is mandatory to achieve good results. However, also bone quality should be taken into consideration when approaching bone losses, and the proposed classification may need surgeons after an adequate validation. Level of evidence Level IV

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disruption of the extensor mechanism after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is debilitating, and the reported results of numerous reconstructive options have varied. We previously reported the early results of 13 patients who underwent reconstruction of the extensor mechanism with use of Marlex mesh. The purpose of the current study was to assess results in a larger cohort of patients, with an emphasis on the survivorship of the mesh, clinical results, and complications. METHODS During the period of 2000 to 2015 at a single tertiary care academic institution, 77 patients (77 TKAs) underwent reconstruction with use of Marlex mesh for an extensor mechanism disruption (27 quadriceps tendon disruptions, 40 patellar tendon disruptions, and 10 patellar fractures). The mean patient age at the time of reconstruction was 65 years; 70% of the patients were female. The mean body mass index was 35 kg/m. The mean follow-up was 4 years. Eighteen (23%) of the patients underwent mesh reconstruction with the primary TKA in place, and 59 (77%) had mesh reconstruction at the time of revision TKA. The mean time between disruption and reconstruction was 7 months. Twenty (26%) of the patients had previously undergone attempted extensor mechanism reconstruction at outside institutions. RESULTS Sixty-five of the 77 mesh reconstructions were in place at the time of the latest follow-up. Twelve patients experienced a failure that required mesh revision: 5 for patellar tendon rupture, 5 for quadriceps tendon rupture, and 2 for symptomatic lengthening. Four additional patients with mesh failure were treated nonoperatively with bracing. The 2-year survivorship free of mesh revision was 86% for patients with no prior reconstruction and 95% for patients with previous reconstructions of the extensor mechanism that did not involve Marlex mesh. Knee Society Score (KSS) results significantly improved following reconstruction (p < 0.001). Extensor lag improved by a mean of 26°, with mean postoperative extensor lag measuring 9° (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Reconstruction of the extensor mechanism with use of Marlex mesh is a viable option in patients with catastrophic disruption after TKA. At the time of the latest follow-up, 84% of the mesh reconstructions were in place and the functional outcomes were excellent, with mean improvement in extensor lag of 26°. Extended follow-up is required, but the results of this large series with a mean follow-up of 4 years are encouraging. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cognizance of common reasons for failure in primary and revision TKA, together with their time course, facilitates prevention. However, there have been few reports specifically comparing modes of failure for primary vs. revision TKA using a single prosthesis. The goal of the study was to compare the survival rates, modes of failure, and time periods associated with each mode of failure, of primary vs. revision TKA. HYPOTHESIS The survival rates, modes of failure, time period for each mode of failure, and risk factors would differ between primary and revision TKA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from a consecutive cohort comprising 1606 knees (1174 patients) of primary TKA patients, and 258 knees (224 patients) of revision TKA patients, in all of whom surgery involved a P.F.C® prosthesis (Depuy, Johnson & Johnson, Warsaw, IN), was retrospectively reviewed. The mean follow-up periods of primary and revision TKAs were 9.2 and 9.8 years, respectively. RESULTS The average 10- and 15-year survival rates for primary TKA were 96.7% (CI 95%,±0.7%) and 85.4% (CI 95%,±2.0%), and for revision TKA 91.4% (CI 95%,±2.5%) and 80.5% (CI 95%,±4.5%). Common modes of failure included polyethylene wear, loosening, and infection. The most common mode of failure was polyethylene wear in primary TKA, and infection in revision TKA. The mean periods (i.e., latencies) of polyethylene wear and loosening did not differ between primary and revision TKAs, but the mean period of infection was significantly longer for revision TKA (1.2 vs. 4.8 years, P=0.003). DISCUSSION Survival rates decreased with time, particularly more than 10 years post-surgery, for both primary and revision TKAs. Continuous efforts are required to prevent and detect the various modes of failure during long-term follow-up. Greater attention is necessary to detect late infection-induced failure following revision TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case-control study, Level III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a well-established extensile approach to improve joint visualization and implant removal. Despite this, TTO is a challenging technique with a long learning curve and potential pitfalls. Complications are not infrequent, even if performing the correct surgical steps. Aim of this paper is to review the current literature about TTO, its safeness and reliability, and finally the complications rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic review of the available English literature, considering the outcomes and the complications of TTO. The combinations of keyword were "tibial tubercle osteotomy", "total knee arthroplasty", "total knee revision", "outcomes", "complication" and "surgical approach". RESULTS From the starting 322 papers available, 26 manuscripts were finally included. Most of the papers show significant improvements in clinical outcomes, both in primary and in revision procedures. Radiographic fragment healing is close to 100%. Related complications can range from 3.8-20%. CONCLUSION TTO may be necessary to correct pathological tuberosity position or patella tracking. However, TTO is a challenging technique to improve the surgical approach during total knee arthroplasty. A strict surgical technique can lead to better results and to minimize complications. However, it is not clear if the improved outcome can outweigh the longer surgery and the higher risk of pitfalls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As solid organ transplant (SOT) patients' survival improves, the number undergoing total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing. Accordingly, the number of revision procedures in this higher-risk group is also increasing. The goals of this study were to identify the most common failure mechanisms, associated complications, clinical outcomes, and patient survivorship of SOT patients after revision THA or TKA. METHODS A retrospective review identified 39 revision procedures (30 revision THAs and 9 revision TKAs) completed in 37 SOT patients between 2000 and 2013. The mean age at revision surgery was 62 years with a mean follow-up of 6 years. RESULTS The most common failure mode for revision THA was aseptic loosening (10/30, 33%), followed by periprosthetic joint infection (PJI; 7/30, 23%). The most common failure mode for revision TKA was PJI (5/9, 56%). There were 6 re-revision THAs for PJI (3/30; 10%) and instability (3/30; 10%). There were 2 reoperations after revision TKA, both for acute PJI (2/9; 22%). Final Harris Hip Scores significantly (P = .03) improved as did Knee Society Scores (P = .01). Estimated survivorship free from mortality at 5 and 10 years was 71% and 60% after revision THA and 65% and 21% after revision TKA, respectively. CONCLUSION Revision THA and TKA after solid organ transplantation carry considerable risk for re-revision, particularly for PJI. Although SOT recipients demonstrate improved clinical function after revision procedures, patient survivorship at mid- to long-term follow-up is low.

Abstract
PURPOSE Revision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is growing rapidly all over the world. The introduction of intramedullary stems for additional stability in revision is well accepted by most of the surgeons, while the philosophy of stem fixation is still under controversy. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the survivorship of revised implants with regard to a cemented or cementless stem fixation. METHODS Publications with patients who underwent revision TKA with minimum 24-month follow-up were systematically reviewed. Type of intramedullary stem fixation, failure rate for any reason, incidence of aseptic loosening and infection were extracted with follow-up interval specified. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to aggregate incidence data, which was compared between different fixation groups by fitting of logistic regression model. RESULTS Seventeen observational studies were included in this meta-analysis. There was a similar likelihood of failure for any reason (risk ratio, RR 0.97), general reoperation (RR 1.02), aseptic loosening (RR 1.0) and infection (RR 1.0) in cemented stem fixation group compared to cementless stem fixation group with follow-up <60 months. When follow-up period extend to more than 60 months, the same likelihood was observed as 0.98, 0.96, 0.97 and 0.98, respectively. There was no significant difference in any of these comparisons of survival-related indices. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in failure for any reason, reoperation, aseptic loosening and infection between revision TKA with cemented or cementless stem fixation. Based on the available literature, no superiority of any type of stem fixation was found. If follow-up period was neglected, aseptic loosening would be the leading reason for pain and dysfunction of patient undertaken revision TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The general recommendation for a failed primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is revision to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the present study was to compare the outcomes, intraoperative data, and mode of failure of primary UKAs and primary TKAs revised to TKAs. METHODS The study was based on 768 failed primary TKAs revised to TKAs (TKA→TKA) and 578 failed primary UKAs revised to TKAs (UKA→TKA) reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register between 1994 and 2011. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) including the EuroQol EQ-5D, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and visual analog scales assessing satisfaction and pain were used. We performed Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses adjusting for propensity score to assess the survival rate and the risk of re-revision and multiple linear regression analyses to estimate the differences between the two groups in mean PROM scores. RESULTS Overall, 12% in the UKA→TKA group and 13% in the TKA→TKA group underwent re-revision between 1994 and 2011. The ten-year survival percentage of UKA→TKA versus TKA→TKA was 82% versus 81%, respectively (p = 0.63). There was no difference in the overall risk of re-revision for UKA→TKA versus TKA→TKA (relative risk [RR] = 1.2; p = 0.19), or in the PROM scores. However, the risk of re-revision was two times higher for TKA→TKA patients who were greater than seventy years of age at the time of revision (RR = 2.1; p = 0.05). A loose tibial component (28% versus 17%), pain alone (22% versus 12%), instability (19% versus 19%), and deep infection (16% versus 31%) were major causes of re-revision for UKA→TKA versus TKA→TKA, respectively, but the observed differences were not significant, with the exception of deep infection, which was significantly greater in the TKA→TKA group (RR = 2.2; p = 0.03). The surgical procedure of TKA→TKA took a longer time (mean of 150 versus 114 minutes) and more of the procedures required stems (58% versus 19%) and stabilization (27% versus 9%) compared with UKA→TKA. CONCLUSIONS Despite TKA→TKA seeming to be a technically more difficult surgical procedure, with a higher percentage of re-revisions due to deep infection compared with UKA→TKA, the overall outcomes of UKA→TKA and TKA→TKA were similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tibial crest osteotomy is an established extensile knee approach. Complications include mal-union, non-union, and fixation problems.We have designed a technique aimed at reducing complications through the principles of low-energy osteotomy and suture repair. METHODS We reviewed our clinical and radiological results in 159 consecutive patients 181 osteotomies with a mean age of 66 years, and an average follow up of 22 months. RESULTS Union occurred in all osteotomies (100%) at a mean period of 11 weeks. Proximal migration averaging 11.5 mm occurred in 6 osteotomies (3%). Crest fragmentation occurred in 11 osteotomies (6%), with all cases resulting in uncomplicated union. No extensor mechanism failure or complications related to the suture material occurred. CONCLUSION We conclude that this technique results in satisfactory outcomes whilst avoiding hardware-related problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aseptic revisions comprise 80% of revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). We determined the incidence of re-revision TKA, the reasons for re-revision, and risk factors associated with these procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1,154 patients who underwent aseptic revision TKA between 2002 and 2013 and were followed prospectively by a total joint replacement registry in the USA. Revision was defined as any operation in which an implanted component was replaced. Patient-, surgeon-, and procedure-related risk factors were evaluated. Survival analyses were conducted. RESULTS There were 114 re-revisions (10%) with a median time to reoperation of 3.6 years (interquartile range (IQR): 2.6-5.2). The infection rate was 2.9% (34/1,154) and accounted for 30% of re-revisions (34 of 114). In adjusted models, use of antibiotic-loaded cement was associated with a 50% lower risk of all-cause re-revision surgery (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.9), age with a 20% lower risk for every 10-year increase (HR = 0.8, CI: 0.7-1.0), body mass index (BMI) with a 20% lower risk for every 5-unit increase (HR = 0.8, CI: 0.7-1.0), and a surgeon's greater cumulative experience (≥ 20 cases vs. < 20 cases) with a 3 times higher risk of re-revision (HR = 2.8, CI: 1.5-5). INTERPRETATION Revised TKAs were at high risk of subsequent failure. The use of antibiotic-loaded cement, higher age, and higher BMI were associated with lower risk of further revision whereas a higher degree of surgeon experience was associated with higher risk.

Abstract
Thorough radiographic evaluation is necessary for perioperative assessments in revision total knee arthroplasty. There has been a large degree of variability in reporting these findings within the peer-reviewed literature. Our purpose was to evaluate studies that radiographically assessed alignment in the coronal and sagittal plane, patella alignment and thickness, presence and characterization of implant interface, and radiolucency. Secondly, we reviewed studies using a standardized reporting system to evaluate radiographic findings (the Knee Society Roentgenographic Evaluation and Scoring System) and the number of times it was referenced. Only 62% of studies evaluated all radiographic parameters, 57% to 91% assessed each metric, and 55% used standardized reporting systems. This emphasizes the need for a uniform evaluation method to ensure consistent radiographic assessment and optimal standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In Norway, the proportion of revision knee arthroplasties increased from 6.9% in 1994 to 8.5% in 2011. However, there is limited information on the epidemiology and causes of subsequent failure of revision knee arthroplasty. We therefore studied survival rate and determined the modes of failure of aseptic revision total knee arthroplasties. METHOD This study was based on 1,016 aseptic revision total knee arthroplasties reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register between 1994 and 2011. Revisions done for infections were not included. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the survival rate and the relative risk of re-revision with all causes of re-revision as endpoint. RESULTS 145 knees failed after revision total knee arthroplasty. Deep infection was the most frequent cause of re-revision (28%), followed by instability (26%), loose tibial component (17%), and pain (10%). The cumulative survival rate for revision total knee arthroplasties was 85% at 5 years, 78% at 10 years, and 71% at 15 years. Revision total knee arthroplasties with exchange of the femoral or tibial component exclusively had a higher risk of re-revision (RR = 1.7) than those with exchange of the whole prosthesis. The risk of re-revision was higher for men (RR = 2.0) and for patients aged less than 60 years (RR = 1.6). INTERPRETATION In terms of implant survival, revision of the whole implant was better than revision of 1 component only. Young age and male sex were risk factors for re-revision. Deep infection was the most frequent cause of failure of revision of aseptic total knee arthroplasties.

Abstract
Stems may improve fixation and stability of components during revision total knee replacement. However, the choice between cemented and cementless stems is not a clear one. Cemented stems offer several advantages in terms of versatility, mechanical stability, surgical technique and clinical outcome over their cementless counterpart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wear and corrosion occurring in patients with hip and knee arthroplasty are common causes of failure leading to revision surgery. A variety of surgical approaches to these problems have been described, with varying efficacy. Polyethylene wear, metal-on-metal (MoM) hip bearing wear, and problems associated with modular taper corrosion are the areas of greatest clinical impact; results of revisions for these problems are likely to dictate a large portion of revision resources for the foreseeable future, and so they call for specific study. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We identified the most frequently reported procedures to treat hip polyethylene wear, knee polyethylene wear, MoM wear after THA, and modular taper corrosion and determined the timing and reasons these failed. METHODS We performed systematic reviews of the published literature on the four topics using MEDLINE(®) and Embase in October 2013; searches were supplemented by hand searches of bibliographies. Prespecified criteria resulted in the identification of 38 relevant articles, of which 33 were either case reports or Level IV evidence. Followup was generally at short term and ranged from 0.2 to 8 years. RESULTS The most frequently reported procedures for treating clinically important wear were a partial or complete revision. When treating polyethylene wear, the more frequently reported reasons for hip and knee rerevisions were loosening, continued wear, and instability. Soft tissue reactions were more common and occasionally extensive in patients with MoM or modular taper corrosion. Patients with soft tissue reactions had more complications and higher rerevision rates. CONCLUSIONS Studies with longer followup and higher levels of evidence are needed to direct the treatment of wear and corrosion. When soft tissue damage secondary to MoM wear or taper corrosion is present, the results of treatment can be poor. There is an urgent need to better understand these two mechanisms of failure.

Abstract
Background Despite good results of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the number of revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKAs) is rising. Proper implant position is essential, since malposition leads to worse clinical outcome. In rTKA most anatomical landmarks have disappeared because of extensive bone loss, making it more difficult to adequately implant the knee prosthesis. In primary TKA, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) leads to better prosthetic alignment than mechanical navigation guides. Literature about the use of CAS in rTKA is scarce though, and the effect on rotational prosthetic alignment has not been investigated yet. Hence the primary objective of this study is to compare rotational prosthetic alignment when using CAS in rTKA compared to a mechanical navigation guide. Secondary objectives are to compare prosthetic alignment in the coronal and sagittal planes. It is hypothesized that CAS leads to better rotational, coronal and sagittal prosthetic alignment when used during rTKA. Methods/Design A prospective clinical intervention study with use of a historical control group will be conducted. Forty-four patients with a minimum age of 18 to be admitted for CAS-rTKA between September 2012 and September 2015 will be included in the intervention group. Forty-four patients with a minimum age of 18 who underwent rTKA with the use of a mechanical navigation guide between January 2002 and April 2012 will form the historical control group. Both groups will be matched according to gender and type of revision prosthesis. Rotational prosthesis alignment will be evaluated using a CT-scan of the knee joint. Discussion Proper implant position is essential, since malposition leads to worse clinical outcome. Several studies show a significantly positive influence of CAS on prosthetic alignment in primary TKA, but literature about the use of CAS in rTKA is limited. The purpose of this study is thus to investigate the influence of CAS during rTKA on postoperative prosthetic alignment, compared to mechanical navigation guides.

Abstract
The number of total knee arthroplasty revision surgeries is increasing each year, driven by the wide availability and general acceptance of the procedure accompanied by an aging population of implants. Metal implants are often secured to the tibial plateau by a mantle of poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement. During revision surgery, a power oscillating saw is used to remove bone cement while preparing the boney bed. Presently, there are no published studies on the mechanics of bone cement removal by a sawing process. The aim of this research was to quantify the effect of blade speed and applied thrust force on the volumetric cutting rate of bone cement. A custom reciprocating saw with variable stroke length was used to conduct a three-factor design of experiments. Two levels, without center-points, were sufficient to model the effect of stroke length (6.75, 10.13 mm), thrust force (11, 19 N), and reciprocating speed in strokes per minute (6000, 8000 SPM) on cutting rate. The results indicate that each of the three parameters had a significant impact on cutting rate (p < 0.001), with a linear relationship between both force and cutting rate (r = 0.98) and blade speed and cutting rate (r = 0.98). For the parameters considered, increasing the reciprocating speed had the most significant effect on cutting rate. For example, while holding force and stroke length constant (11 N, 10.13 mm), an increase in speed from 6000 to 8000 SPM nearly doubled the cutting rate of bone cement. A cutting rate model was developed by regression analysis of the experimental data and validated through additional experiments. The model has applications in haptic feedback for surgical simulators to differentiate between the cutting rates of bone and bone cement during virtual training of resident surgeons.
