Navigated Versus Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prospective Randomized Controlled Trials. J Orthop 2024; 50:99-110. [PMID: 38187368 PMCID: PMC10770435 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.11.070] [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: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Recent evidence on the cost-effectiveness of technology in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) demonstrated that navigated computer-assisted methods (N-TKA) is likely to be most cost-effective in the clinical setting. The aim of the current meta-analysis is to compare radiographic, clinical and functional outcomes between conventional TKA (C-TKA) and N-TKA methods. Methods All prospective randomized controlled trials (pRCTs) comparing primary TKA performed using C-TKA and N-TKA techniques were eligible for inclusion. Radiographic outcomes included postoperative coronal, sagittal and axial component alignment. Clinical outcomes included all-cause revision and aseptic revision. Functional outcomes were analyzed when reported. A random-effects meta-analysis of all available cases was performed. This allowed for all missing data. Results Normal coronal mechanical alignment of the tibial (p < 0.001) and femoral (p = 0.001) components was achieved more frequently with N-TKA. Normal sagittal mechanical alignment of the tibial component was achieved significantly more with N-TKA (p < 0.010). There was no difference in short-term clinical survivorship (all-cause, p = 0.649; aseptic, p = 0.79) or in functional outcomes reported between groups. There was a clinically significant reduction in the mean C-TKA operative time (87 min, σ = 16.6, 95% CI 76.4-98.8) compared N-TKA (97.6 min, σ = 16.9, 95% CI 86.2-109.1) (p = 0.17). Conclusion Navigated TKA achieves superior radiographic alignment for femoral and tibial components in both the coronal and sagittal plane. Operative times are 10 min longer in the N-TKA group. Functional outcomes are similar between navigated and conventional groups. Clinical outcomes reported in Level I studies are limited to short-term follow-up so future prospective studies are required.

An updated meta-analysis comparing complications, functional, clinically relevant and radiological outcomes of accelerometer based portable navigation and conventional technique of total knee arthroplasty. J Orthop 2023; 46:24-50. [PMID: 37942220 PMCID: PMC10630554 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.10.012] [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: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Since previous studies, including small-scale meta-analyses comparing accelerometer-based portable navigation (APN-TKA) and conventional techniqueof total knee arthroplasty (CONV-TKA), have reported divergent results, there is a need for an updated meta-analysis to compare complications, functional outcomes, clinically relevant outcomes and radiographic alignment of components. Methods This meta-analysis was conducted as per PRISMA guidelines. Randomised controlled trials, and non-randomised comparative cohort studies in English language on primary TKA were included. The complications compared were Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), infection, manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) for postoperative knee stiffness, re-operation and mortality. The functional outcomes compared were the Knee Society Knee Score, Knee Society Score function, Oxford Knee Score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. The evaluated clinically relevant outcomes were surgical time, blood loss, drop in haematocrit, tourniquet time, postoperative knee flexion and complications). The number of radiological outliers; as well as the absolute values of the alignment of the overall prosthesis, femoral and tibial components in both coronal and sagittal planes, was assessed. Results Twenty-five studies were included. Both the groups were comparable in terms of preoperative demographic features. There was no difference in complications and functional outcomes. Operation time was longer in APN-TKA (p < 0.00001) but there was no difference in rest of the clinically relevant outcomes. Restoration of the lower limb mechanical axis (p = 0.003) and coronal femoral alignment angle (p = 0.0002) was better with APN. APN also significantly reduced the risk of the odds of outliers of lower limb mechanical axis (p < 0.0001), coronal femoral alignment (p = 0.03), coronal tibial alignment (p < 0.0001) and sagittal tibial alignment (p = 0.0001). Conclusion The improvement in the accuracy of implantation by the use of APN-TKA, as determined by the overall alignments of prosthesis, or femoral and tibial components, does not necessarily translate into lesser complications and better functional and clinical outcomes. Level of evidence Therapeutic study, Level II.

Orthop Surg 2023; 15:2786-2793. [PMID: 37580853 PMCID: PMC10622280 DOI: 10.1111/os.13842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) was developed based on spatial alignment and navigation technology to assist femoral extramedullary alignment osteotomy (FEAO) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The system can locate and adjust the femoral distal condylar osteotomy (FDCO) to obtain a better femoral prosthesis placement. It is a portable navigation device and provides an innovative approach for FDCO. METHODS Sixty patients who suffered from severe knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral TKA from May 14, 2021 to May 30, 2022 were randomly divided into a MEMS-FEAO group and a conventional femoral intramedullary alignment osteotomy (FIAO) group, with 30 cases in each group for a controlled retrospective study. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA) of the lower limb was measured before and after surgery, the femoral valgus angle (FVA) was measured preoperatively, and the femoral prosthesis valgus angle (FPVA) and the femoral prosthesis flexion angle (FPFA) were measured postoperatively following computed tomography imaging protocols. Measurement data is statistically described as mean ± standard deviation c. The count data is described by frequency (constituent ratio) using the rank sum test. RESULT A total of 6.7% (2/30) of FEAO compared to 20.0% (6/30) of FIAO cases were postoperative deviations where the HKAA exceeded ±3° of neutral alignment (p < 0.05). The postoperative HKAA was 178.74° ± 1.56° versus 176.64° ± 3.39° (p < 0.05), the HKAA deviation was 1.25° ± 1.56° versus 3.36° ± 3.40° (p < 0.05), and the FPFA was 4.85° ± 2.46° versus 6.60° ± 1.86°(p < 0.05). Therefore, the differences were all statistically significant between the two groups. However, the FPVA was -0.59° ± 2.73° versus -0.80° ± 2.85° (p > 0.05), and there was no statistical significance between the two groups. CONCLUSION The MEMS-FEAO system can improve the accurate alignment and can be utilized as a locator to obtain the best femoral prosthesis placement in TKA and significantly reduce the rate of poor force line of the lower limb.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the precision of bony resections during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed using different computer-assisted technologies. METHODS Patients who underwent a primary TKA using an imageless accelerometer-based handheld navigation system (KneeAlign2®, OrthAlign Inc.) or computed tomography-based large-console surgical robot (Mako®, Stryker Corp.) from 2017 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Templated alignment targets and demographic data were collected. Coronal plane alignment of the femoral and tibial components and tibial slope were measured on postoperative radiographs. Patients with excessive flexion or rotation preventing accurate measurement were excluded. RESULTS A total of 240 patients who underwent TKA using either a handheld (n = 120) or robotic (n = 120) system were included. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, and BMI between groups. A small but statistically significant difference in the precision of the distal femoral resection was observed between the handheld and robotic cohorts (1.5° vs. 1.1° difference between templated and measured alignments, p = 0.024), though this is likely clinically insignificant. There were no significant differences in the precision of the tibial resection between the handheld and robotic groups (coronal plane 0.9° vs. 1.0°, n.s.; sagittal plane 1.2° vs. 1.1°, n.s.). There were no significant differences in the rate of overall precision between cohorts (n.s.). CONCLUSIONS A high degree of component alignment precision was observed for both imageless handheld navigation and CT-based robotic cohorts. Surgeons considering options for computer-assisted TKA should take other important factors, including surgical principles, templating software, ligament balancing, intraoperative adjustability, equipment logistics, and cost, into account.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose is to verify the intra- and inter-operator reliability of an extramedullary (EM) accelerometer-based smart cutting guide for distal femoral resection during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis of the present study was that the use of the device would result in a good correlation between different operators with a difference between repeated measurements of less than 1°. METHODS Twenty-five not consecutive patients with knee osteoarthritis undergone to primary TKA using an EM inertial-based cutting guide to perform distal femoral resection. In order to assess the agreement in femoral axis definition of the device, two operators performed three time each the manoeuvres necessary to define axis. Inter-rater agreement was evaluated with Bland and Altman agreement test. Intra-rater repeatability was evaluated analysing average results distribution of repeated measurements. Accuracy of the device was evaluated comparing differences between intra-operative device data with final implant alignment measured on post-operative longstanding x-rays using Students' t test. RESULTS Agreement between the two operators was statistically significant (p < 0.05) with a bias of - 0.4° (95% CI - 0.6° to - 0.2°). Average difference between cut orientation measured with device and final implant position, measured on x-rays, was 0.2° (95% CI - 1.5° to 1.7°) with no statistical difference between the two measurements. Final implant alignment, measured on x-ray, was 90.2°, with 95% of cases distributed within range 88.0° to 92.0° for varus-valgus and 2.8° and with 95% of cases distributed within range 2.0° to 4.0° for flexion-extension. CONCLUSIONS The EM accelerometer-based smart cutting guide used to perform distal femoral resection during primary TKA demonstrated a good intra- and inter-operator reliability in the present in vivo study.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study assessed surgical accuracy and functional outcomes using hand-held accelerometer-based navigation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Question: (1) Does hand-held navigation (the iAssist system) improve surgical accuracy (assessed with five parameters commonly used to evaluate surgical alignment: the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), femoral coronal angle (FCA), tibial coronal angle (TCA), femoral sagittal angle (FSA), and tibial slope angle (TSA)) compared to conventional instruments in TKA? (2) Which surgical alignment parameters among HKA, FCA, TCA, FSA, and TSA can obtain the most advantage from the iAssist system? (3) Does the iAssist system lead to better functional outcomes at two years of follow-up after TKA?
Methods
This parallel-group double-blinded randomized controlled trial recruited 60 patients (30 patients each in the iAssist and conventional group) with osteoarthritis who underwent primary TKA by a single surgeon at Siriraj Hospital. There was no loss to follow-up in the study. All procedures in both groups were performed using similar surgical exposure, prosthesis implant, perioperative and postoperative protocols. Participants in the iAssist group received the iAssist system as an assistive technique, while those in the conventional group only had conventional instruments. Surgical alignments (HKA, FCA, TCA, FSA, and TSA) were recorded using CT scan at six weeks post-operation. Functional outcomes were assessed with knee ROM, KSS, and EQ-5D at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-operation. Baseline characteristics including age, sex, the affected knee side, and body mass index were comparable between the two groups, similar to preoperative ROM, KSS, and EQ-5D.
Results
The mean operative time was relatively longer in the iAssist than the conventional group, although not statistically significant (88.1 ± 13.7 versus 83.4 ± 21.3; p = 0.314). Among the surgical alignment parameters evaluated, FCA was the only radiographic parameter with a statistically significant difference between the two groups and was closer to 90º in the iAssist group (89.4 ± 2.2 in the iAssist versus 87.2 ± 2.1 in the conventional group; p = 0.003). Also, there was a higher proportion of outliers in the conventional than the iAssist group (23.3% versus 10%; p = 0.086). Nonetheless, HKA and TCA did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.25 and 0.096, respectively), although the percentages of outliers were higher in the conventional than the iAssist group (HKA: 26.7% vs. 13.3%; p = 0.101 and TCA: 6.7% versus 0%; p = 0.078). Likewise, we observed other radiographic parameters had no significant group differences, including FSA and TSA. Furthermore, at two years post-operation, we found no differences between the iAssist and the conventional group in knee ROM (106.7 ± 14.6 versus 108.2 ± 12.7; p = 0.324), KSS (82.5 ± 6.4 versus 83.8 ± 3.4; p = 0.324), and EQ-5D (0.9 ± 0.2 versus 1.0 ± 0.1; p = 0.217). All functional outcomes were also comparable at 6 months and 12 months of follow-up postoperatively.
Conclusion
The iAssist technology increase surgical precision by allowing for a more precise FCA with fewer outliers than conventional equipment. iAssist had longer operative time. Functional outcomes and quality of life were not different.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, computer assistance has revolutionalized surgery and has enabled enormous advancements in knee prosthesis surgery. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a hot topic of orthopaedic research. Reflecting population dynamics, its use continues to increase, especially in high demand populations. Therefore, efforts to achieve the best fit and precise alignment in TKA continue. Computer assistance is valuable for knee prosthesis surgeons in this regard. This manuscript investigated the use of computer assistance in knee prosthesis surgery. The effects of computer use on important facets of knee prosthesis surgery, such as precision, clinical aspects, and costs, were examined. Moreover, an overall review of the recent literature on the navigation and personalized cutting guides was conducted.

Abstract
Background Bilateral one-stage total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) have increased because it provides a number of advantages. Recently, Accelerometer-based navigation (ABN) system which guide the cutting plane without intramedullary disturbance might result in less endothelial and microvascular damage. Therefore, we hypothesized that the ABN may reduce blood loss, reduce postoperative pain, and better restore BTKA alignment compared to conventional instruments. Methods We retrospectively compared 44 consecutive patients receiving ABN assisted BTKA (iBTKA) to 57 patients with conventional instruments (cBTKA). Identical pre- and post-operative care was utilized to all patients. The outcome measures assessed were hemoglobin (Hb), calculated blood loss (CBL), blood transfusion, VAS score for pain, morphine consumption, knee flexion angle, and length of stay (LOS). Radiographic assessment included mechanical axis (MA) and component positioning at 3–6 months of follow up. Results Both iBTKA and cTKA groups had equivalent demographic data. Postoperative Hb of the cBTKA group was significantly lower than those in the iBTKA group at 24 h (p = 0.02), but there was no significant difference in drain volume, CBL, and blood transfusion rate. For radiographic measures, the iBTKA group had more accurate MA and component orientation, and had a lower number of outliers than those in the cBTKA group (p ≤ 0.01), except for the sagittal femoral component angle. Conclusion The ABN assisted BTKA could not reduce blood loss or postoperative pain more than cBTKA, nor improve functional recovery. However, the ABN significantly improved the accuracy of MA and prostheses positioning. Trial registration The protocol of this study was registered in the Thai Clinical Trials Registry database No. TCTR20180731001# on 25 July 2018.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for severe osteoarthritis. Despite good survival rates, up to 20% of TKA patients remain dissatisfied. Recently, promising new technologies have been developed in knee arthroplasty, and could improve the functional outcomes. The aim of this paper was to present some new technologies in TKA, their current concepts, their advantages, and limitations. The patient-specific instrumentations can allow an improvement of implant positioning and limb alignment, but no difference is found for functional outcomes. The customized implants are conceived to reproduce the native knee anatomy and to reproduce its biomechanics. The sensors have to aim to give objective data on ligaments balancing during TKA. Few studies are published on the results at mid-term of these two devices currently. The accelerometers are smart tools developed to improve the TKA alignment. Their benefits remain yet controversial. The robotic-assisted systems allow an accurate and reproducible bone preparation due to a robotic interface, with a 3D surgical planning, based on preoperative 3D imaging or not. This promising system, nevertheless, has some limits. The new technologies in TKA are very attractive and have constantly evolved. Nevertheless, some limitations persist and could be improved by artificial intelligence and predictive modeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An accelerometer-based portable navigation system was recently introduced to improve prosthetic alignment during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the effects of this accelerometer-based portable navigation system for achieving more accurate alignment during TKA in the clinical setting. METHODS One hundred patients with primary varus osteoarthritis of the knee were enrolled in this prospective RCT conducted in 5 hospitals. A navigation system was utilized in 50 patients (navigation group), and a conventional intramedullary femoral guide and an extramedullary tibial guide were utilized in 50 patients (conventional group). At 6 months postoperatively, weight-bearing radiographs were obtained of the whole operative leg. An experienced surgeon who was blinded to the treatment assignments then measured the alignment to 1 decimal place with use of computer software. Power analysis showed that 41 knees were required in each group. RESULTS There were no complications as a result of the use of the accelerometer-based portable navigation system. Postoperative radiographs were obtained in 45 patients from each group. There were no significant differences in sex, age, height, body weight, body mass index, preoperative femorotibial angle, and operative time between groups. The absolute differences of the femoral prosthesis (p = 0.01), tibial prosthesis (p < 0.01), and hip-knee-ankle angle (p < 0.01) from a neutral mechanical axis were less in the navigation group compared with those in the conventional group. Alignment outliers (>2° away from the neutral mechanical axis) of the tibial prosthesis and hip-knee-ankle angle were less in the navigation group (9% and 27%, respectively) compared with those in the conventional group (31% and 49%; p = 0.01 and p = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first multicenter prospective RCT to evaluate an accelerometer-based portable navigation system. An accelerometer-based portable navigation system provides more accurate prosthetic and limb alignment in the coronal plane than conventional techniques, without extended operative time or an increased rate of complications. The results of this study may help orthopaedic surgeons decide whether or not to use an accelerometer-based portable navigation system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I.
