[PMID: 39034416 PMCID: PMC11265144 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07516-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The application of Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools in total (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) emerges with the potential to improve patient-centered decision-making and outcome prediction in orthopedics, as ML algorithms can generate patient-specific risk models. This review aims to evaluate the potential of the application of AI/ML models in the prediction of TKA outcomes and the identification of populations at risk.An extensive search in the following databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, Cinahl, Google Scholar, and EMBASE was conducted using the PIOS approach to formulate the research question. The PRISMA guideline was used for reporting the evidence of the data extracted. A modified eight-item MINORS checklist was employed for the quality assessment. The databases were screened from the inception to June 2022.Forty-four out of the 542 initially selected articles were eligible for the data analysis; 5 further articles were identified and added to the review from the PUBMED database, for a total of 49 articles included. A total of 2,595,780 patients were identified, with an overall average age of the patients of 70.2 years ± 7.9 years old. The five most common AI/ML models identified in the selected articles were: RF, in 38.77% of studies; GBM, in 36.73% of studies; ANN in 34.7% of articles; LR, in 32.65%; SVM in 26.53% of articles.This systematic review evaluated the possible uses of AI/ML models in TKA, highlighting their potential to lead to more accurate predictions, less time-consuming data processing, and improved decision-making, all while minimizing user input bias to provide risk-based patient-specific care.

Abstract
Instability is one of the causes of failure in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between objective ligament laxity and the clinical outcome of mechanically aligned TKA. Fifty-one knees in 47 patients were evaluated at a minimum follow-up of 6 months. The correlation between the angular displacement and functional scores (Knee Society Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score) was analyzed. A negative correlation (p-value < 0.05) was observed between medial laxity ≥5° at 0, 30, 60, and 90° of flexion and the outcome measures. Lateral laxity did not correlate with the clinical outcome. At 30° of knee flexion, a total varus and valgus laxity ≥10° was related to poorer outcomes. The same amount of angular displacement did not influence the outcome in the other flexion angles. There was no difference in single-radius vs multi-radius implants in terms of medial and lateral laxity and clinical outcome. A valgus displacement ≥5° measured at 0, 30, 60, and 90 degrees of flexion correlated with an inferior clinical outcome. In contrast, the same amount of displacement measured on the lateral compartment did not influence the clinical outcome after TKA.

[PMID: 37370130 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03898-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure primarily used to treat patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Postoperative physical exercise is a critical part of the overall treatment of KOA and can bring significant benefits to the patients' recovery. Wearable devices can monitor patients' exercise data and upload it to the physician's workstation. This allows the rehabilitation physician to make timely adjustments based on the patients' movement feedback, and the surgeon can be informed of the patients' functional status. Overall, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using wearable monitoring devices for rehabilitation exercise after TKA, with a focus on cost, time savings, and patient outcomes. METHOD/DESIGN This is a single-center, single-blinded, parallel randomized controlled trial conducted at Xi'an Honghui Hospital, a regional orthopedic medical center. Eligible patients will be recruited to participate in the study, and baseline data collection and clinical assessments will be conducted at the time of admission. Using the principle of random allocation, recruited patients will be divided into either the experimental or control group. Both groups will undergo a standard, widely promoted rehabilitation program. The patients in the experimental group will wear equipment to detect and track mobility in the lower limbs. All patients will return to the outpatient clinic for follow-up assessments at 2 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after discharge, where outcome indicators will be measured. The primary outcome will be the cost and time after discharge, while secondary outcomes will include the 6-min walk test (6MWT), range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), American Knee Society Score (KSS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). DISCUSSION We should encourage the adoption of novel, easy-to-use, supervised devices if they prove to be beneficial for patients in terms of cost, time, and effectiveness after TKA. This type of device is particularly important for people in remote rural areas, those with limited financial resources, and those who are reluctant to return to hospitals for follow-up care.

Patients in high- and low-revision hospitals have similar outcomes after primary knee arthroplasty: 1-year postoperative results from the Danish prospective multicenter cohort study, SPARK. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2023:10.1007/s00167-023-07390-3. [PMID: 37042976 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-023-07390-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE It is well-known that revision rates after primary knee arthroplasty vary widely. However, it is uncertain whether hospital revision rates are reliable indicators of general surgical quality as defined by patients. The SPARK study compared primary knee arthroplasty surgery at three high-volume hospitals whose revision rates differed for unknown reasons. METHODS This prospective observational study included primary knee arthroplasty patients (total, medial/lateral unicompartmental and patellofemoral) in two low-revision hospitals (Aarhus University Hospital and Aalborg University Hospital Farsø) and one high-revision hospital (Copenhagen University Hospital Herlev-Gentofte). Patients were followed from preoperatively (2016-17) to 1-year postoperatively with patient-reported outcome measures including Oxford Knee Score (OKS), EQ-5D-5L and Copenhagen Knee ROM (range of motion) Scale. The surgical outcomes were compared across hospitals for patients with comparable grades of radiographic knee osteoarthritis and preoperative OKS. Statistical comparisons (parametric and non-parametric) included all three hospitals. RESULTS 97% of the 1452 patients who provided baseline data (89% of those included and 56% of those operated) responded postoperatively (90% at 1 year). Hospitals' utilization of unicompartmental knee arthroplasties differed (Aarhus 49%, Aalborg 14%, and Copenhagen 22%, p < 0.001). 28 patients had revision surgery during the first year (hospital independent, p = 0.1) and were subsequently excluded. 1-year OKS (39 ± 7) was independent of hospital (p = 0.1), even when adjusted for age, sex, Body Mass Index, baseline OKS and osteoarthritis grading. 15% of patients improved less than Minimal Important Change (8 OKS) (Aarhus 19%, Aalborg 13% and Copenhagen 14%, p = 0.051 unadjusted). Patients with comparable preoperative OKS or osteoarthritis grading had similar 1-year results across hospitals (OKS and willingness to repeat surgery, p ≥ 0.087) except for the 64 patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade-4 (Aarhus 4-6 OKS points lower). 86% of patients were satisfied, and 92% were "willing to repeat surgery", independent of hospital (p ≥ 0.1). Hospital revision rates differences diminished during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Patients in hospitals with a history of differing revision rates had comparable patient-reported outcomes 1 year after primary knee arthroplasty, supporting that surgical quality should not be evaluated by revision rates alone. Future studies should explore if revision rate variations may depend as much on revision thresholds and indications as on outcomes of primary surgery.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041613. [PMID: 36836148 PMCID: PMC9966398 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
A previous systematic review showed positive patient-reported outcomes following total knee replacement (TKR) in patients aged < 65 years. However, the question remains as to whether these results are replicated for older individuals. This systematic review evaluated the patient-reported outcomes following TKR in individuals aged ≥ 65 years. A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library were performed to identify studies examining disease-specific or health-related quality of life outcomes following TKR. Qualitative evidence synthesis was performed. Eighteen studies with low (n = 1), moderate (n = 6), or serious (n = 11) overall risk of bias were included, with evidence syntheses derived from 20,826 patients. Four studies reported on pain scales, showing improvement of pain from 6 months to 10 years postoperatively. Nine studies examined functional outcomes, showing significant improvements from 6 months to 10 years after TKR. Improvement in health-related quality of life was evident in six studies over 6 months to 2 years. All four studies examining satisfaction reported overall satisfaction with TKR results. TKR results in reduced pain, improved function, and increased quality of life for individuals aged ≥ 65 years. The improvement in patient-reported outcomes needs to be utilised in conjunction with physician expertise to determine what would comprise clinically significant differences.
