Association Between Overhang of the Posterior Femoral Condyle and Restricted Postoperative Knee Flexion Related to Patient-Reported Stiffness in Medial-Pivot Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00919-7. [PMID: 39265813 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.08.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between the posterior longitudinal overhang in the femoral condyle (PLOF) in medial-pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and a change in knee flexion angle (change in flexion). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 148 knees undergoing medial-pivot TKA for medial knee osteoarthritis. The primary outcome was the change in flexion (c-flexion) preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. The component positions were evaluated using three-dimensional measurements, where the PLOF was measured for each medial and lateral femoral condyle. The secondary outcome was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) scores taken preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of c-flexion and risk factors for negative c-flexion (less than 0°). Furthermore, a receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized to determine the threshold for negative c-flexion. RESULTS The mean c-flexion was -3.2°± 8.7, and lateral PLOF was significantly associated with c-flexion (β = -0.52; P < 0.001). Larger preoperative flexion angles (odds ratio, 1.10; P <0.001) and larger lateral PLOF (odds ratio, 1.69; P = 0.001) were risk factors for negative c-flexion, with thresholds of 129° and 1.1 mm, respectively (sensitivity, 0.79; specificity, 0.72). Additionally, patients who had negative c-flexion (n = 91) demonstrated less improvement in preoperative and 2-year postoperative WOMAC stiffness subscores than patients who had positive c-flexion (0° or more; n = 57) (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION A larger lateral PLOF was associated with decreased and negative c-flexion after medial-pivot TKA. Patients who had negative c-flexion demonstrated less improvement in knee stiffness. Surgical strategies aimed at minimizing lateral PLOF may enhance postoperative knee flexion and overall patient outcomes in medial-pivot TKA.

Equivalence of clinical and radiological outcomes in cruciate-retaining and cruciate-substituting total knee arthroplasty with medial pivot knee: A comparative study. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22741. [PMID: 38213584 PMCID: PMC10782168 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been recognized as the most efficacious surgical intervention for individuals suffering from advanced arthritis; however, there is ongoing debate on the technical details of the procedure. It remains unknown whether preservation of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) significantly affects the mid-to long-term performance of ADVANCE® medial-pivotal (AMP) knee implants to enhance patient satisfaction. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate whether the preservation of the PCL has a substantial impact on the functional outcomes of medial pivot (MP) implants in patients undergoing TKA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes of cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (CS) TKA using MP prostheses. Methods We included 376 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral TKA between January 2011 and April 2014. Follow-up evaluations were conducted in April 2021. After propensity score matching analysis, clinical and radiological outcomes and complication rates were compared between patients in the CR and CS groups. Results The postoperative outcomes in the two groups significantly improved the preoperative conditions of the patients (all p > 0.05). The postoperative outcomes (WOMAC score, p = 0.517; KSS, p = 0.107; KSFS, p = 0.240; ROM, p = 0.795; FJS, p = 0.822) and radiographic outcomes (preoperative FTA, p = 0.997; postoperative FTA, p = 0.646; aLDFA, p = 0.094; aMPTA, p = 0.970; PTS, p = 0.243) were comparable between the two groups. The complication and revision rates between the groups were not statistically significant (p = 0.34). The Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival of patients in the CRTKA and CSTKA groups was 100 % and 98.6 %, respectively. Conclusions This study supports the hypothesis that when MP prostheses are used, both CR and CS procedures achieve equally good mid-to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes and complication rates. These findings suggest that PCL preservation may not significantly affect the overall performance of MP implants in patients undergoing TKA.

[PMID: 37151403 PMCID: PMC10160699 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2023.101130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The role of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery continues to be a source of debate among the adult reconstruction community. In native knee flexion, the PCL is comprised of an anterolateral and posteromedial bundle that work together to limit posterior tibial translation and allow adequate femoral rollback for deep flexion. In the arthritic knee, the PCL can often become dysfunctional and attenuated, which led to the development of posterior stabilized (PS) TKA bearing options. PS TKAs implement a cam-post construct to functionally replace a resected PCL. While PS designs may facilitate balancing knees with significant deformity, they are associated with complications such as postfracture, increased wear, and patellar clunk/crepitus. In recent years, newer designs have been popularized with greater degrees of congruency and incorporation of medial and lateral pivoting to better recreate native knee kinematics. The American Joint Registry has confirmed the recent predilection for ultra-congruent and cruciate-retaining TKA inserts over PS TKAs during the last decade. Studies have failed to identify an overall clinical superiority between the cruciate substituting and sacrificing designs. The literature has also failed to identify clinical consequences from PCL resection with modern, more conforming TKA designs. In this article, we review modern PCL sacrificing designs and discuss the impact of each on the kinematics after TKA. We also will delineate the role of the PCL in modern TKA in the hopes to better understand the recent surge in sacrificing but not substituting knee implants.

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2023; 31:998-1010. [PMID: 36089624 PMCID: PMC9464619 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-022-07149-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Stability in the sagittal plane, particularly regarding anterior cruciate ligament compensation, and postoperative functionality and satisfaction remain issues in total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, this prospective study compared the clinical outcomes between medial-pivot-based and posterior-stabilised total knee arthroplasty based on anterior translation and clinical scores. METHODS To assess outcomes of total knee arthroplasty for varus osteoarthritis, the anterior translation distance of the tibia relative to the femur was measured at 30 and 60° of flexion using a KS measure Arthrometer at 6 months postoperatively. The 2011 Knee Society Score, Forgotten Joint Score, visual analogue scale for pain, and range of motion were assessed at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. The correlations among each score, anterior translation distance, range of motion, and visual analogue scale score for pain were investigated. RESULTS The medial-pivot and posterior-stabilised groups comprised 70 and 51 patients, respectively. The medial-pivot group exhibited a significantly shorter anterior translation distance at 60° flexion than the posterior-stabilised group. Furthermore, the medial-pivot group achieved significantly better outcomes regarding the visual analogue scale for pain, 2011 Knee Society Score, and Forgotten Joint Score than the posterior-stabilised group. A significant negative correlation was observed between the anterior translation distance and the function score of the 2011 Knee Society Score, whereas a significant positive correlation was found between the anterior translation distance and flexion angle, and between the extension angle and score of the Forgotten Joint Score or 2011 Knee Society Score. Significant negative correlations were also found between the pain visual analogue scale and both the 2011 Knee Society Score and Forgotten Joint Score. CONCLUSION In total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, the medial-pivot group displayed a shorter anterior translation distance than the posterior-stabilised group at 6 months postoperatively. The visual analogue scale score for pain was also significantly lower in the medial-pivot group than that in the posterior-stabilised group at both 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Because a correlation was observed between the anterior translation distance and the function score, medial-pivot-based total knee arthroplasty was considered to significantly improve postoperative function compared to posterior-stabilised total knee arthroplasty.

Tibiofemoral Contact Forces Influence Intraoperative Kinematic Pivot Pattern Dependent on Posterior Cruciate Ligament Resection in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev 2022; 6:01979360-202204000-00007. [PMID: 35389911 PMCID: PMC8989784 DOI: 10.5435/jaaosglobal-d-22-00033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background: Optimizing knee kinematics has the potential to increase patient satisfaction with total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however the ability to enact a particular kinematic pattern is variable and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine whether intraoperative contact forces were predictive and can potentially drive a particular kinematic pivot pattern. Methods: All TKAs used sensor-embedded tibial trials to intraoperatively measure medial and lateral compartment forces, and the associated condylar contact points were used to calculate kinematic pivot patterns between preceding flexion angles. Results: After exclusions, 157 TKAs were analyzed. For posterior cruciate ligament–intact TKAs, no predictors of lateral pivot were identified in early flexion; however, increased medial compartment force and increased lateral compartment force were predictors of medial and lateral pivots for mid and late flexion, respectively (P ≤ 0.037). For posterior cruciate ligament–resected TKAs, increased lateral compartment force was a predictor of lateral pivot in early and midflexion (P ≤ 0.031) but not late flexion. Conclusion: The tibiofemoral compartment with greater contact force exhibited less anteroposterior translation at certain flexion ranges and correlated with kinematic pivot patterns. This information may benefit surgeons who are attempting to facilitate a particular kinematic pattern. Further research is recommended to confirm that intraoperative kinematics correlate with weight-bearing postoperative kinematics and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As endpoint of a prospective multicenter 10-year documentation using the Columbus system, this evaluation carried out results of clinical scores (Knee Society Score and Oxford Knee Score), an evaluation of radiological imaging, survival rates and a collection of complication statistics. MATERIALS AND METHODS There was a multicenter prospective recruitment of consecutive patients with the indication for total knee replacement (TKR). Preoperatively and 10 years after implantation, clinical scores, range of motion and radiological imaging was performed. During this period, a detailed documentation of complications was made. RESULTS A total of 210 patients were recruited in 5 centers. 140 patients were available for endpoint examination 10 years after surgery. A survival rate of 96.6% (CI 95%) for the implanted Columbus prostheses after 10 years was demonstrated. Cumulative KSS showed an improvement of 75.3 (± 38.1) points and was highly significant (p < 0.0001, t test). The average functional improvement in the Oxford score was 20.6 (± 9.5) points and was also highly significant (p < 0.0001). The ROM improved from 106.5° (± 20.5) preoperatively to 116.0° (± 11.5) (p < 0.0001, t test). There were no implant-related complications as well as no new complication documented between 5- and 10-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The endpoint analysis after an observation period of 10 years provided good clinical and radiographic results. In particular, an excellent survival rate of 96.6% after 10 years was demonstrated. The data published in this study are the first to be available in a prospective multicenter study on this system, which leads to a high level of clinical significance.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical and patient-reported outcome measures of medially stabilised (MS) TKA when compared to other TKA designs. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses algorithm was used. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and EMCARE databases were searched to June 2020. Studies with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up comparing an MS TKA design to any other TKA design were included. The statistical analysis was completed using Review Manager (RevMan), Version 5.3. RESULTS The 22 studies meeting the inclusion criteria included 3011 patients and 4102 TKAs. Overall Oxford Knee Scores were significantly better (p = 0.0007) for MS TKA, but there was no difference in the Forgotten Joint Scores (FJS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Society Score (KSS)-Knee, KSS-Function, and range of motion between MS and non-MS TKA designs. Significant differences were noted for sub-group analyses; MS TKA showed significantly worse KSS-Knee (p = 0.02) and WOMAC (p = 0.03) scores when compared to Rotating Platform (RP) TKA while significantly better FJS (p = 0.002) and KSS-knee scores (p = 0.0001) when compared to cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA. CONCLUSION This review and meta-analysis show that MS TKA designs result in both patient and clinical outcomes that are comparable to non-MS implants. These results suggest implant design alone may not provide further improvement in patient outcome following TKA, surgeons must consider other factors, such as alignment to achieve superior outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty is a reliable procedure able to reduce pain and disability in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. However, a considerable percentage of patients still experiences unsatisfactory results. Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty has been introduced in the clinical practice to overcome problems related with classic design implants and better mimic native knee kinematics. The aim of this study was to analyze survivorship and clinical and radiographic outcomes of medial pivot implants. METHODS A systematic research was conducted in eight different databases. Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Data on objective and patients-reported outcomes, radiographic alignment, and survivorship were collected and analyzed. Revision rate was expressed as revision per 100 components years. RESULT A total of 3377 procedures were included. Mean follow-up was 85.7 months (range, 12-182). The revision per 100 components years was 0.19, which corresponds to a revision rate of 1.9% after 10 years. Mean post-operative range of motion was 117.3 ± 0.4°. Mean clinical and functional Knee Society Score were, respectively, 85.9 ± 1.1 and 84.7 ± 3.5 at final follow-up. Post-operative femorotibial alignment was 177.1 ± 0.5°. Alfa and beta angles were 95.7 ± 0.1° and 89.2 ± 0.1°, respectively. Gamma and delta angles were 2.3 ± 0.6° and 86.7 ± 0.4°. CONCLUSION Medial pivoting implants provided excellent survivorship and low revision rate, as well as good-to-excellent results in term of objective and patient-reported clinical outcomes, and reliable correction of radiographic parameters. More high-quality studies with long-term follow-up are needed to clarify the role of medial pivoting implants.

Abstract
Several concepts may be used to restore normal knee kinematics after total knee arthroplasty. One is a kinematically aligned (KA) technique, which restores the native joint line and limb alignment, and the other is the use of a medial pivot knee (MPK) design, with a ball and socket joint in the medial compartment. This study aimed to compare motions, contact forces, and contact stress between mechanically aligned (MA) and KA (medial tilt 3° [KA3] and 5° [KA5]) models in MPK. An MPK design was virtually implanted with MA, KA3, and KA5 in a validated musculoskeletal computer model of a healthy knee, and the simulation of motion and contact forces was implemented. Anteroposterior (AP) positions, mediolateral positions, external rotation angles of the femoral component relative to the tibial insert, and tibiofemoral contact forces were evaluated at different knee flexion angles. Contact stresses on the tibial insert were calculated using finite element analysis. The AP position at the medial compartment was consistent for all models. From 0° to 120°, the femoral component in KA models showed larger posterior movement at the lateral compartment (0.3, 6.8, and 17.7 mm in MA, KA3, and KA5 models, respectively) and larger external rotation (4.2°, 12.0°, and 16.8° in the MA, KA3, and KA5 models, respectively) relative to the tibial component. Concerning the mediolateral position of the femoral component, the KA5 model was positioned more medially. The contact forces at the lateral compartment of all models were larger than those at the medial compartment at >60° of knee flexion. The peak contact stresses on the tibiofemoral joint at 90° and 120° of knee flexion were higher in the KA models. However, the peak contact stresses of the KA models at every flexion angle were <20 MPa. The KA technique in MPK can successfully achieve near-normal knee kinematics; however, there may be a concern for higher contact stresses on the tibial insert.

A Mid-term Comparison of the Functional Outcomes of Medial Pivot and Rotating Platform Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty in the Indian Population. Indian J Orthop 2021; 56:271-279. [PMID: 35140858 PMCID: PMC8789967 DOI: 10.1007/s43465-021-00472-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both medial pivot (MP) and rotating platform (RP) mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been developed to better mimic the natural knee kinematics and femoral roll back in flexion. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the mid-term functional outcomes and range of motion (ROM) of MP and RP types of total knee arthroplasty. METHODS 116 patients (mean age of 66.3 years) undergoing TKA (52 Medial pivot design and 64 Rotating Platform design) were evaluated retrospectively with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) knee score, knee society score (KSS) with its subgroups namely, Knee Score (KSKS) and Functional Score (KSFS) and forgotten joint score (FJS) at a mean follow-up of 7.1 years. Range of motion (ROM) and tibiofemoral anatomic angle on the radiographs were also compared. RESULTS Mean ROM, WOMAC and KSKS improved significantly from pre-operative to postoperative knees in both the groups. There was, however, no significant difference between the two groups at the final follow-up. In contrast, mean KSFS score improved to 89.5 ± 8.1 in MP group and 86.3 ± 7.1 in RP Group (p = 0.025), while mean FJS was 85.6 ± 4.1 and 80.9 ± 5.4 in the MP and RP groups, respectively (p = < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes can be obtained using either a MP or RP knee joint in tricompartmental osteoarthritis of knee. The MP design scores better on the KSFS score and FJS than the RP-TKA.

Loss of Knee Flexion and Femoral Rollback of the Medial-Pivot and Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty During Early-Stance of Walking in Chinese Patients. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:675093.

Abstract
Background The medial-pivot (MP) prosthesis was developed to produce more physiological postoperative knee kinematics and better patient satisfaction than traditional prostheses, but outcomes are inconsistent in different studies of Caucasian patients. This study aimed to investigate the postoperative patient satisfaction and in vivo knee kinematics of the MP and posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthesis during gait activity in Chinese patients. Methods A retrospective analysis of 12 patients was received for this study in each MP group and PS group. Patient-reported satisfaction level and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were evaluated with questionnaires. A dual fluoroscopic imaging system was used to investigate in vivo knee kinematics of MP and PS total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during treadmill walking at a speed of 0.4 m/s. Results Comparable promising patient satisfaction and overall FJS (MP 60.7 ± 15.35 vs. PS 51.3 ± 17.62, p = 0.174) were found between the MP and PS groups. Peak flexion appeared at around 70% of gait cycle with values of 52.4 ± 7.4° for MP and 50.1 ± 3.6° for PS groups (no difference). Both groups maintained a stable position at the stance phase and began to translated anteriorly at toe-off with an amount of 4.5 ± 2.3 mm in the MP and 6.6 ± 2.7 mm in the PS (p = 0.08) group until late swing. The range of this external rotation motion was 5.9 ± 4.8 and 6.2 ± 4.1° (p = 0.79) for the MP and PS, respectively. Conclusion A similar knee kinematics pattern characterized by a loss of early-stance knee flexion and femoral rollback during walking was observed in the MP and PS TKAs. Our study confirmed similar effectiveness of MP TKA compared to PS TKA in Chinese patients, while the change of knee kinematics of both implants during slow walking should be noted.

Abstract
An objective of total knee replacement (TKR) is to restore the mechanical function of a normal knee. Joint kinematics and contact mechanics performance are two of the primary indices that indicate the success of TKR devices. The aim of this study was to compare the kinematics and contact mechanics of TKR and normal knee joints. An experimentally evaluated finite-element (FE) knee model was developed and used to investigate the performance of four TKR designs (fixed cruciate-retaining (CR), mobile CR, posterior-stabilized (PS), medial pivot design (MP)) and the normal knee joint during a gait cycle. The predicted kinematic results showed that the MP design presented similar kinematics to those of the normal knee joint and did not demonstrate paradoxical motion of the femur. A considerably larger contact area and lower contact pressure were found on the normal knee joint (1315 mm2, and 14.8 MPa, respectively) than on the TKRs, which was consistent with the previous in-vivo fluoroscopic investigation. The mobile CR and PS designs exhibited the smallest and greatest contact pressures of the four TKR designs, respectively. The results of the present study help to understand the kinematics and contact mechanics in the TKR during the gait cycle, and provide comprehensive information about the performance of the normal knee joint.

Abstract
PURPOSE The unique medial-pivot (MP) design of ADVANCE® system largely simulates the movement of a normal knee joint and a high mid- and long-term success rate has been reported in limited populations. The aims of this study are to investigate the mid-term clinical outcomes and survivorship based on a large cohort with 1128 cases. METHODS One thousand seven patients received 1276 ADVANCE® MP TKAs from January 2011 to April 2016 in our institution were retrospectively investigated. The range of motion (ROM), the Knee Society Score (KSS), the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to calculate the survivorship. RESULTS In an averaged five year follow-up, the results of 879 patients (1128 knees) were successfully obtained and the clinical outcomes of 1107 knees were recorded. One hundred forty-eight knees (11.6%) were lost to follow-up. Excellent mid-term ROM, KSS, KSFS, and WOMAC score were recorded. A total of 53 complications were identified and most complications were related to the discordance of femoropatellar joint. Taking revision for any reason as end point, the overall survivorship was 99.2% at seven years. When taking all cases lost to follow-up as failures, the survivorship was 83.8% at five years and 50.6% at seven years. CONCLUSION For MP designs, the intermediate clinical outcomes are good to excellent and the mid-term survivorship related to reasons other than infection is also satisfactory.

Mid-term survivorship and clinical outcomes of the medial stabilized systems in primary total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review. J Orthop 2021; 24:157-164. [PMID: 33716421 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2021.02.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Medial Pivot Total Knee Arthroplasty was introduced in clinical practice in 1990s to reproduce the in vivo-natural knee kinematics. This design is characterized by an asymmetric constraint profile, with aa highly congruent medial compartment, and a less congruent lateral compartment. Short-term outcomes of the medial pivot systems in primary knee arthroplasty have been widely reported in the current literature, however, only few studies have described results beyond 5-year follow-up. Objectives The primary objectives of this systematic review of the literature is to analyze the mid-term studies on medial pivot total knee arthroplasty focusing on the reoperation rate, survivorship and clinical outcome scores. Methods The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications from January 1980 to December 2019 utilizing the following keywords: "medial pivot", "medial stabilized", "medial rotating", "medial congruent", medial ball and socket", "arthroplasty", "TKA", "TKR", and "knee surgery". Results 18 articles met the inclusion criteria for the present study. The average quality was 11.4 for non-comparative studies and 21.7 for comparative studies based on MINORS criteria. A total 2832 knee arthroplasties were included for the final analysis with an average age of 69 years, and an average follow-up of 8.1 years (minimum 5 years). The overall reoperation rate was 2.4%, with periprosthetic joint infection as the leading cause of revision in 0.9% of cases, followed by aseptic loosening in 0.4% of cases. The average Knee Society Score improved to a mean preoperative score of 40.1 to a mean postoperative score of 89.2. The functional knee society score improved from a mean preoperative score of 44.8 to an average postoperative score of 82.9. The global range of motion improved from 104.8° preoperatively to 115.6° postoperatively. Conclusion We found that medial pivot system in primary total knee arthroplasty provide overall mid-term survivorship comparable to other standard implasnts. In addition, medial pivot system is associated with better high-end function compared to standard implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of medial stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with non-medial stabilized TKAs. METHODS A systematic search of multiple databases was conducted in October 2019. A meta-analysis was conducted for the Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Society Functional Score (KFS), range of motion (ROM), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS). RESULTS A total of 857 articles yielded 21 studies eligible for inclusion with 13 studies used for quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that the medial stabilized group had a mean FJS that was 13.8 points higher than that of the non-medial stabilized TKA (mean difference [MD]: 13.83, P ≤ .0001, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.90-18.76, I2 = 0%) which was less than the minimal clinically important difference of 14. The medial stabilized group also demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the postoperative ROM (MD = 2.52, P = .05, 95% CI: -0.03 to 5.07, I2 = 85%) and OKS when compared with the non-medial stabilized group (MD = 1.25, P = .02, 95% CI: 0.17-2.33, I2 = 27%), but these were not clinically significant. There was no statistically or clinically significant difference in the KSS, KFS, and WOMAC scores. CONCLUSION Medial stabilized knee prostheses demonstrated no clinically significant differences for the ROM, OKS, WOMAC, KSS, and KFS. The FJS demonstrated the greatest MD and warrants further investigation. Future research is required using patient-reported outcome measures with a lower ceiling effect such as the FJS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) between using medial-pivot (MP) and posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthesis. Does MP prosthesis and PS prosthesis influence the clinical results of a TKA? METHODS An electronic literature search of PubMed Medline and the Cochrane Library was performed from inception to October 1, 2019. A meta-analysis to compare postoperative outcomes of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Knee Society Score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), complications, and radiographic results between MP and PS prosthesis were conducted. RESULTS Seven eligible studies involving 934 adult patients (MP group, n = 461; PS group, n = 473) were identified for analysis. This study showed no significant difference between the 2 groups in the WOMAC scores, KSS, ROM, and complications (P > .05). The differences of the femorotibial angle, position of implant, and patellar tilt were also not significant between the 2 groups (P > .05). CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis has shown that patients with the MP prosthesis have similar clinical results as patients with PS prosthesis. Furthermore, the radiographic results, especially patella tilt angle, were also similar between the 2 groups. Therefore, surgeons should be aware that the types of prostheses are not a decisive factor to ensure successful operation.

Abstract
Objective To systematically evaluate the patellofemoral joint design of medial pivot prosthesis, which incorporates a variety of “patella‐friendly” design features, by comparing clinical and radiographic results with another prosthesis. Methods All consecutive patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with medial pivot prosthesis (Group MP, 126 cases) between September 2016 and April 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective study. For each patient reviewed, a control patient was matched, according to age, gender, side, body mass index (BMI), preoperative range of motion (ROM), and operating period, who had received primary unilateral TKA with a conventional posterior‐stabilized prosthesis at the same period as the study group (Group PS, 126 cases). All patients underwent at least 1‐year follow‐up. At the preoperative and final follow‐up periods, data on the Knee Society Score (KSS) score, WOMAC score, Kujala score, and ROM were collected. Merchant views were taken with the knee flexion at 30°, 60°, and 90° to measure patella shift and tilt. Preoperative posterior condylar angle (PCA) was also measured. Postoperative complications, including anterior knee pain, maltracking, patellar clunk or crepitus (PCC), were evaluated. Results There were no significant differences in the demographics or clinical characteristics between the two groups. No statistically significant difference was identified in the KSS total score, including knee score and function score, or in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score between the two groups after the operation. We found statistically significant differences in the postoperative Kujala scores and the ROMs between the two groups. The mean Kujala score in group MP was better than in group PS (MP 77.16 ± 3.80 vs PS 75.97 ± 4.06, P < 0.05), while the ROM in group PS was significantly higher than in group MP (MP 122.24° ± 4.45° vs PS 123.78° ± 6.05°, P < 0.05). Simultaneously, the preoperative/postoperative Kujala score improvement in group MP was observed to be significantly larger than in group PS (MP 27.82 ± 5.31 vs PS 26.17 ± 4.89, P < 0.05), but the average ROM improvement in group PS was significantly greater than in group MP (MP 19.00° ±9.90° vs PS 21.57° ± 9.62°). In the 90° Merchant view, the mean patella tilt of group MP was statistically smaller than that of group PS (MP 4.21° ± 1.62° vs PS 4.74° ± 1.95°, P < 0.05), and the average patella tilt change in group MP was significantly greater than in group PS (MP –3.8° ± 1.43° vs PS –3.23° ± 1.33°, P < 0.05). Preoperative PCA did not show significant differences between the two groups. Two cases of PCC and three cases of anterior knee pain were noted in group MP, and nine cases and six cases, respectively, were observed in group PS. The incidence of PCC was significantly lower in group MP (1.6% vs 7.1%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in follow‐up time between the two groups. Conclusion The medial pivot prosthesis could achieve satisfactory outcomes with better patellofemoral performance attributed to its “patella‐friendly” design characteristics compared to the conventional posterior‐stabilized prosthesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of positioning an asymmetrical tibial tray relative to the posterior tibial edge and to analyse the relationship between the posterior fit and tibial rotation after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It was hypothesised that an asymmetrical tray would adjust to the posterior border of the tibial plateau with proper tibial rotation. METHODS Ninety-three consecutive knees underwent total knee arthroplasty using a Persona fixed-bearing system (63 varus deformities and 30 valgus deformities) and a 3-month follow-up CT scan. An independent examiner measured different variables: the femoral angle between the clinical epicondylar axis and the posterior condylar line of the femoral component, the tibial angle between the posterior borders of the tibial tray and the tibial plateau, and the tibial rotation with respect to the femoral component. These measurements were also compared between varus and valgus subgroups. RESULTS For the varus and valgus subgroups, the mean postoperative femoral angle was 2.1º ± 1.2º and 2.5º ± 1.0º, respectively (n.s.). The mean posterior fitting angle of the tibial tray was 0.1º ± 2.4º and 1.4º ± 3.2º for the varus and valgus subgroups, respectively, with a significant difference between groups (p = 0.03). The tibial rotations with respect to the femoral component for the varus and valgus groups were 0.9º ± 3.3º and 2.2º ± 3.1º of external rotation, respectively (n.s.). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that fitting an asymmetrical tibial tray to the posterior border of the tibial plateau could optimise tibial rotation.

No difference in patient preference for medial pivot versus posterior-stabilized design in staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a prospective study. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2020; 28:3805-3809. [PMID: 31993682 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-020-05867-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/17/2020] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Medial pivot (MP) TKA has been shown to mimic normal knee kinematics with long-term survivorship comparable to most contemporary TKA. However, there are inadequate evidences to suggest its superiority in terms of patient preference and satisfaction. The aim of this study is to compare the MP with posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA in terms of patient preference and satisfaction. METHODS 46 patients with staged bilateral TKA were recruited. TKA with MP or PS design was performed at interval of 6-12 months. Patient preference, patient satisfaction score (0-100), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), range of motion (ROM), Pain Score, Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Function Score (KFS) and WOMAC Score were compared at up to 12 months. RESULTS The mean age was 70 and 69.6% were female. There was no difference in all preoperative parameters, operative time and length of stay between two knees. No difference was found in in range of motion and all outcome scores at 6 months and 12 months. Satisfaction score was similar for the two designs (82 vs 85, p = n.s.) at 1 year after the second TKA. Proportion of patients with preference on one design over another was not significantly different (28.9 vs 35.6%, p = n.s.). CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence to support the superiority of MP TKA over PS TKA in terms of preference and satisfaction. The choice between MP TKA versus PS TKA maybe more a surgeon's preference than a patient's preference based on current evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various designs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have provided satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis for many years. The aim of the study is to evaluate the success and failure rate of the medial stabilized (MS) TKA design through national joint registries and the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was carried out through PubMed and MEDLINE database. The international registries analyzed included the National Joint Registry, the Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, the Dutch Arthroplasty Register, the New Zealand Orthopedic Association Joint Registry, and the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative. We are reporting descriptive data which include means and percentages of survival rates and revision rates and number of years after the primary procedure. The revision rates and the cumulative revision rates are reported separately for each MS implant. RESULTS Our detailed review identified 5 of 12 registries and 25 of 550 studies reporting on the survivorship of an MS TKA design. There were a total of 3684 procedures between the 25 studies, with an average survivorship free of aseptic loosening of 99% at 6.9 years. There are 26,693 (2.5%) MS TKAs in the current National Joint Registry with a mean cumulative revision rate of 2.63% at 5 years, 3.35% at 10 years, and 4.6% at 15 years. The Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry provides survivorship data on 19,249 (2.9%) MS TKAs, with a mean cumulative revision rate of 3.34% at 5 years, 7.4% at 10 years, and 8.1% at 15 years. The Dutch Arthroplasty Register contains survivorship data on 1490 MS designs and a mean revision rate of these implants is 0.8% at 1 year, 5.95% at 5 years, and 9.8% at 10 years. The Evolution MP is the only implant reported in the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative and has a revision rate of 2.28% at 3 years. CONCLUSION The MS TKA design has comparable results to traditional TKA designs across several joint registries and 25 studies in the literature.

Orthop Surg 2020; 12:836-842. [PMID: 32390346 PMCID: PMC7307254 DOI: 10.1111/os.12687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 03/14/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare medial pivot (MP) prostheses to two types of posterior-stabilized (PS) prostheses (NexGen and NRG) in terms of patient satisfaction, causes of dissatisfaction, and risk factors for dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A total of 453 patients who underwent primary TKA by one senior surgeon from August 2016 to August 2018 were investigated in a retrospective study, including 121, 219, and 113 patients in the MP, NexGen, and NRG groups, respectively. The mean age and follow-up time of patients were 70.82 ± 7.06 years and 20.64 ± 3.88 months. A survey was designed and responses were collected by telephone, WeChat, and outpatient follow up. Patient satisfaction, causes of dissatisfaction, post-TKA pain on a numeric rating scale (NRS), and range of motion (ROM) were compared among groups, and risk factors were investigated. Patient satisfaction included a five-level satisfaction rating (very satisfied, satisfied, neutral, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied), with five options for causes of dissatisfaction (persistent pain, limited ROM, knee instability, asthenia, and/or other factors). RESULTS Overall, 89.84% of patients were satisfied with the results of primary TKA. There were no significant differences among the three groups regarding the side of the operation, the length of hospitalization in days, or the average follow-up time. Patient satisfaction was similar among the MP (87.38%), NexGen (89.89%), and NRG groups (90.32%). Persistent pain after TKA was the major cause of dissatisfaction (32/40), but no difference in the frequency of this complaint was found among the groups (P = 0.663). The NRS score (P = 0.598) and the ROM (P = 0.959) of the MP group were not significantly different from those of the NexGen and NRG groups. Gender, length of hospitalization, and follow-up time were all uncorrelated with patient satisfaction, but age showed a very weak correlation with patient satisfaction (r = 0.110, P = 0.033). Moreover, the NRS score (r = 0.459, P < 0.000) and the ROM (r = -0.175, P = 0.001) were significantly correlated with patient dissatisfaction. The odds ratio of dissatisfaction was 6.37 (P < 0.000) in patients with moderate to severe pain (NRS ≥ 3) compared to patients with mild pain (NRS < 3). CONCLUSION Patient satisfaction and function were not found to be higher in the MP group than in the two PS groups, and persistent pain was the major cause of and an important risk factor for patient dissatisfaction.

Abstract
Backgroud The indications for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been expanded to include younger, demanding patients. Some TKA patients expect a return to high-performance activities to restore optimum quality of life. The concept of the medial pivot (MP) TKA is that more natural knee kinematics can be achieved by altering the bearing design. In the present study, we compared the early outcomes of MP TKA with posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA in terms of patient-reported outcomes, function, and performance. Methods This randomized study was performed in a high volume joint replacement facility of a tertiary care military hospital. We enrolled 40 patients each in the MP group and PS group and assessed knee flexion, patient-reported outcome (new Knee Society Score [new KSS]), patient performance (Delaware Osteoarthritis Profile Score [DOPS]), and function (Forgotten Joint Score [FJS]) at 2 years after surgery. Results Compared to PS group patients, MP group patients had similar patient-reported outcomes assessed by new KSS (satisfaction, expectation, and activity scales) and FJS. MP knee patients had better performance in the timed up and go test (p < 0.026) and self-paced walk test (p < 0.002) of DOPS. The gain in knee flexion (9.3° ± 14°) compared to baseline was significantly greater in the PS group (p < 0.013). Conclusions When assessed by DOPS, getting up from chair and walking speed were significantly better in MP knee patients than in PS knee patients. However, considering the predictable rollback ensured by cam and post, the PS knee produced better knee flexion. Despite these results, patients were equally satisfied with the two designs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As part of 10-year documentation using the Columbus system, the interim evaluation was carried out 5 years after implantation with a collection of clinical scores, evaluation of radiological imaging and collection of statistics concerning complications. METHODS There was a multicentre prospective recruitment of consecutive patients with the indication of implantation of a surface replacement prosthesis (Columbus CR, Deep Dish fixed inlay). Preoperatively, clinical scores were recorded (KSS and Oxford score). Five years postoperatively a new evaluation of clinical scores, the range of motion (ROM) and a radiological check-up including full leg imaging under load was performed. During this period, detailed complication documentation was made. RESULTS A total of 210 patients were recruited in five centres. 187 patients were available for examination 5 years after surgery. Cumulative KSS increased from 87.5 (±26.6) preoperatively to 170 (±29.1) 5 years postoperatively. The cumulative KSS improvement was 81.5 (±35.2) points and was highly significant (p < 0.0001; t‑test). The average functional improvement in the Oxford score between the preoperative and 5‑year follow-up was 21.7 (±8.8) points and was also highly significant (p < 0.0001). The ROM improved from 106.3° (±20.2) preoperatively to 114.0° (±12.1) 5 years postoperatively (p < 0.0001; t test). Five years after implantation, the average mechanical leg axis was 178.0° (±2.1). There was no clinically apparent or native radiologic visible aseptic loosening of the femoral or tibial joint component. There were 33 complications, but no implant-related complications such as inlay dislocation, material fracture or aseptic loosening. In total, 6 revision surgeries were performed during the follow-up period, which corresponds to a survival rate of 97.1% (CI 95%) for the implanted Columbus knee in the present patient collective for 5 years. CONCLUSION The interim analysis at 5 years of long-term observation of the Columbus system provided good clinical and radiographic results.

Abstract
Multi radius (MR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been associated with mid-flexion instability. Single radius (SR) TKA may provide better anteroposterior stability through single flexion axis and biomechanical advantage for quadriceps function. Medial pivot (MP) TKA and gradually reducing (GR) radius TKA produce better knee kinematics. Clinical outcomes are equivalent for SR, MR and MP TKA. Short-term studies have shown better clinical outcomes and kinematics for GR TKA. Thinner and narrow anterior flange, deeper trochlea groove and more anatomical trochlea design reduces patellofemoral complications in TKA Ultracongruent inserts provide comparable clinical outcomes to posterior-stabilized TKA and cruciate retaining TKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To prevent early failure it is necessary to evaluate modern TKA system for possible shortcomings during implantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcome and short-term survival of a modern cemented primary TKA system compared to its predecessor. METHODS The authors reviewed 529 primary cemented TKAs [276 Attune (ATT) and 253 PFC Sigma (PFC)], which were implanted between 2014 and 2017 concerning the radiographic outcome and short-term survival. Radiographs were taken before discharge, 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. Radiographic analysis was performed by two independent assessors using the Modern Knee Society Radiographic Evaluation System. RESULTS The incidence of radiolucent lines was significantly higher in the ATT group compared with the PFC group 12 months postoperatively (35.1%; n = 97 TKAs vs. 7.5%; n = 19 TKAs; p < 0.001). Survival analysis could not show any differences in revision-free survival or revision rate. CONCLUSION The modern primary TKA system shows an increased number of radiolucent lines, especially on the tibial component in this short-term analysis and may mostly be due to technique-related issues. Patients with those radiolucent lines even though they show no clinical evidence for loosening should be closely monitored at regular intervals. These findings are of vital clinical importance because surgeons should be aware of particular challenges in preparation and cementing technique once they are using this TKA-system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study, Level III.
