Zgouridou A, Kenanidis E, Potoupnis M, Tsiridis E. Global mapping of institutional and hospital-based (Level II-IV) arthroplasty registries: a scoping review. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:1219-1251. [PMID: 37768398 PMCID: PMC10858160 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03691-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Four joint arthroplasty registries (JARs) levels exist based on the recorded data type. Level I JARs are national registries that record primary data. Hospital or institutional JARs (Level II-IV) document further data (patient-reported outcomes, demographic, radiographic). A worldwide list of Level II-IV JARs must be created to effectively assess and categorize these data. METHODS Our study is a systematic scoping review that followed the PRISMA guidelines and included 648 studies. Based on their publications, the study aimed to map the existing Level II-IV JARs worldwide. The secondary aim was to record their lifetime, publications' number and frequency and recognise differences with national JARs. RESULTS One hundred five Level II-IV JARs were identified. Forty-eight hospital-based, 45 institutional, and 12 regional JARs. Fifty JARs were found in America, 39 in Europe, nine in Asia, six in Oceania and one in Africa. They have published 485 cohorts, 91 case-series, 49 case-control, nine cross-sectional studies, eight registry protocols and six randomized trials. Most cohort studies were retrospective. Twenty-three per cent of papers studied patient-reported outcomes, 21.45% surgical complications, 13.73% postoperative clinical and 5.25% radiographic outcomes, and 11.88% were survival analyses. Forty-four JARs have published only one paper. Level I JARs primarily publish implant revision risk annual reports, while Level IV JARs collect comprehensive data to conduct retrospective cohort studies. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study mapping all Level II-IV JARs worldwide. Most JARs are found in Europe and America, reporting on retrospective cohorts, but only a few report on studies systematically.

Knee 2023; 43:217-223. [PMID: 37467702 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2023.06.010] [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: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies comparing outcomes in patients with posterior cruciate ligament-sacrificing single-radius (SR) versus medial-stabilized (MS) knee devices. Both types of implants are designed to maximize deep-flexion and to maintain stability throughout the knee flexion arc. The aim of this study was to determine whether two-year outcomes differ between these two implant groups. METHODS Two-hundred and ten patients took part in this retrospective cohort single center study. The SR patients (n = 109) were enrolled in one randomized trial, and the MS knees (n = 101) in another. Patient consent and Investigative Review Board approval was obtained. Radiographs and clinical outcomes were gathered preoperatively and at six weeks, six months, one year and two years. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups in terms of preoperative demographic characteristics. The MS group had significantly better knee flexion starting at six months postoperative through two years postoperatively (p < 0.05 - p< 0.001). The Knee Society Pain/Motion score was better in the MS group at one year (95.41 vs 90.86, p < 0.002). The Knee Society Pain score was also better in the MS group starting at six weeks through one year (six weeks: 35.3 vs 30, p = 0.007; one year: 46.4 vs 42.4, p = 0.005, respectively). CONCLUSION The MS group had better clinical outcomes than the SR group, with significantly greater knee flexion from six months through two years, better Knee Society Pain scores at six weeks through one year, and higher Knee Society Pain/Motion scores at six weeks and one year postoperatively.

Abstract
UPDATE This article was updated on January 4, 2023, because of a previous error, which was discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. On page 16, in Figure 5, the x-axis that had read "P<0.0086" now reads "KSS Pain (p=0.02)," and the value for the MS group that had read "48.9" now reads "48.8."This article was updated on January 6, 2022, because of a previous error. On page 13, in the section entitled "Results," the sentence that had read "However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the MS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008)." now reads "However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the PS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008)." BACKGROUND Stability in mid-flexion is important for satisfactory clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the present study was to compare the anteroposterior stability of knees that had been treated with a posterior-stabilized (PS) device or a medial-stabilized (MS) device. We hypothesized that mid-flexion laxity would be greater in the PS group and that clinical outcome scores would be better for the group with lower laxity. METHODS Sixty-three patients who had been randomly selected from a larger randomized, prospective, blinded clinical trial underwent primary TKA with either a PS implant (n = 30) or an MS implant (n = 33). Range of motion, the Knee Society Score (KSS), and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were collected, and anteroposterior laxity with the knee in 45° and 90° of flexion was evaluated with stress radiographs. RESULTS In 45° of flexion, the MS group demonstrated significantly less total anteroposterior displacement than the PS group (mean, 3.6 versus 16.5 mm; p ≤ 0.0001). In 90° of flexion, the total anteroposterior displacement was not significantly different for the 2 groups when both male and female patients were included (mean, 3.9 versus 5.9; p = 0.07). However, when only the subset of female subjects was considered, the MS group demonstrated significantly less anteroposterior laxity in 90° of flexion than the PS group (2.3 versus 5.4 mm; p = 0.008). The groups did not differ significantly in terms of preoperative age, body mass index, sex distribution, FJS, KSS, or range of motion, and they also did not differ in terms of postoperative FJS or range of motion. However, all 33 patients in the MS group returned to sports as indicated in question 12 of the FJS, compared with 19 subjects in the PS group (p = 0.0001). The postoperative KSS Pain, Pain/Motion, and Function scores were all significantly higher in the MS group than the PS; specifically, the mean KSS Pain score was 48.8 in the MS group, compared with 44.8 in the PS group (p = 0.02); the mean KSS Pain/Motion score was 98.4 in the MS group, compared with 89.5 in the PS group (p < 0.0001); and the mean KSS Function score was 95.5 in the MS group, compared with 85.7 in the PS group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Mid-flexion laxity was greater in patients with PS implants than in those with MS implants, and laxity in 90° was greater in the subset of female patients in the PS group. The decreased laxity observed in the MS group correlated with higher KSS Pain, Pain/Motion, and Function scores as well as with a higher rate of return to sports activities.

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.

Abstract
Background With a quest to optimize outcomes, there have been significant advancements in modern designs of total knee implants, attempting to mimic the natural knee motion and feel. One such new design reproducing the medial and lateral knee pivot is a dual-pivot (DP) knee. In the present study, we endeavored to compare the performance of the DP knee vis-a-vis an ultracongruent (UC) Knee design. Methods This prospective cohort study was performed in a joint replacement center of a tertiary care military hospital. We enrolled 50 patients each in the DP knee group and the UC knee group and assessed knee flexion, patient-reported outcome (new Knee Society Score [nKSS]), patient performance (Delaware Osteoarthritis Profile Score), and function (Forgotten Joint Score [FJS]) at 2 years of follow-up. Results The nKSS was similar in the two groups. In the DP group, patients had significantly better improvement in the stair climb test (p = 0.026). In the UC group, timed up and go test was significantly better (p = 0.004). The gain in knee flexion was similar in the two groups: 26.3° ± 23.3° in the DP group and 27.5° ± 27.5° in the UC group (p = 0.930). Return to activity as judged by 2-year FJS was similar in both groups (p = 0.687). Conclusions Our study showed that the DP knee design had similar knee function to the UC knee. The DP knee design had significantly better stair climbing ability, whereas getting up from chair was better in the UC knee design. With comparable patient-reported outcome and possible differences in patient performance in terms of day-to-day activities, any future trial should focus on comparing patient performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyethylene bearing design may influence the risk of revision after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Previous investigations from outside of the United States have suggested the potential for an increased risk of all-cause revision and revision for infection with the use of posterior-stabilized bearings. We examine the risk of revision based on the polyethylene bearing design selection for primary TKA. METHODS An analysis of the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) data from 2012 to 2019 was performed. We identified all primary TKAs over the study period and linked cases to supplemental U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data where available. Patient demographic characteristics, polyethylene characteristics, procedure dates, and cause for revision were recorded. Analysis was performed to compare minimally stabilized implants (cruciate-retaining, anterior-stabilized, or pivot bearing designs) with posterior-stabilized implants. Cumulative incidence function (CIF) curves and Cox proportional hazard ratios (HRs) were created for all-cause revision and revision for infection in each group. RESULTS We identified 305,279 cases with reported minimally stabilized or posterior-stabilized implant characteristics. There were 161,486 cases (52.9%) that utilized posterior-stabilized bearings compared with 143,793 cases (47.1%) with minimally stabilized bearings. For minimally stabilized bearings, 1,693 cases (1.18%) had all-cause revision and 334 cases (0.23%) had revision for infection. For posterior-stabilized bearings, 2,406 cases (1.49%) had all-cause revision and 446 cases (0.28%) had revision for infection. The use of posterior-stabilized bearings had HRs of 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 1.3; p < 0.0001) for all-cause revision and 1.18 (95% CI, 1.0 to 1.4; p = 0.02) for revision for infection. CONCLUSIONS Similar to investigations from international registries, we found an increased risk of all-cause revision and revision for infection when using posterior-stabilized bearings in TKA in the United States. Surgeons should consider this finding when considering bearing selection for primary TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III .

Abstract
Background Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty aims to restore native knee kinematics through highly conforming medial tibiofemoral articulation with survival comparable to contemporary knee designs. The aim of this study was to report preliminary clinical results of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty in an Indian population. Methods A retrospective analysis of 45 patients (average age, 62 years; 40 women and 5 men) with end-stage arthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 4) operated with a medial pivot prosthesis was done. All patients were assessed using Knee Society Score (satisfaction, expectation, and functional scores) and Oxford Knee Score, and range of motion was recorded at the end of 5-year postoperative follow-up. In addition, all patients underwent standardized radiological assessment. Results At the final follow-up, patients reported significant improvement in mean Knee Society Score (satisfaction, expectation, and functional scores) and Oxford Knee Score (p < 0.05). The mean range of motion achieved at the end of 5 years ranged from 0° (extension) to 118.4° (further flexion). There was no evidence of loosening or osteolysis at a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Conclusions These results demonstrated satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes at 5 years after total knee arthroplasty with a medial pivot design, which may be related to better replication of natural knee kinematics with the medial pivot knee and inherent advantages of this design.

Abstract
In the current literature, there is no consensus as to whether the medial pivot (MP) or posterior-stabilised (PS) knee provides the best result for the patient in the context of post-operative range of motion (ROM) and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). The aim of this systematic review is to provide this equipoise with some clarity. We conducted this study following both the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Statement (PRISMA) and the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Studies comparing the MP and PS knees from all regions and written in any language were included. Twenty- one studies were included in this meta-analysis. They were prepared and analysed using Review Manager V5.0 [Computer Program] (RevMan5). We calculated the risk ratio to measure the treatment effect, taking the heterogeneity of the studies into consideration. Random-effect models were also utilised. MP knees were found to have a significant advantage over PS knees in terms of WOMAC score at the midterm follow up, and insignificant advantages over PS knees in terms of ROM and FJS at one and two years follow- up. Additionally, the PS knees demonstrated an in significantly higher Knee Society Score (KSS) at short and midterm follow up. In terms of ROM, KSS, OKS and FJS this meta-analysis suggests a non-significant advantages for the MP knee compared with the PS prothesis in the short term. The MP implant also showed a significantly superior WOMAC score at short-term follow-up. An extended follow-up period is required to evaluate whether the MP knee is superior than the PS in the long-term.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medial pivot (MP) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore native knee kinematics due to highly conforming medial tibio-femoral articulation with survival comparable to contemporary knee designs. Posterior stabilized (PS) TKAs use cam-post mechanism to restore native femoral rollback. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the reported patient satisfaction with MP TKA designs when compared to PS TKAs. The primary aim of this study is to compare the patient satisfaction between MP and PS TKA and the secondary aim is to establish potential reasons behind any differences in the outcomes noted between these two design philosophies. METHODS In this IRB-approved single surgeon, single centre prospective RCT, 53 patients (mean age 62 years, 42 women) with comparable bilateral end-stage knee arthritis undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA were randomized to receive MP TKA in one knee and PS TKA in the contralateral knee. At 4 years post-surgery, all patients were assessed using Knee Society Score (KSS)-Satisfaction and -Expectation scores, and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). In addition, all the patients underwent standardized radiological and in vivo kinematic assessment. RESULTS Patients were more satisfied with the MP TKA as compared to PS TKA: mean KSS-Satisfaction [34.5 ± 3.05 in MP and 31.7 ± 3.16 in PS TKAs (p < 0.0001)] and mean KSS-Expectation scores [12.5 ± 1.39 in MP TKAs and 11.2 ± 1.41 in PS TKAs (p < 0.0001)]. No significant difference was noted in any other clinical outcomes. The in vivo kinematics of MP TKAs was significantly better than those of PS TKAs. CONCLUSION MP TKAs provide superior patient satisfaction and patient expectations as compared to PS TKA. This may be related to better replication of natural knee kinematics with MP TKA.

Abstract
Aims Medial pivot (MP) total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were designed to mimic native knee kinematics with their deep medial congruent fitting of the tibia to the femur almost like a ball-on-socket, and a flat lateral part. GMK Sphere is a novel MP implant. Our primary aim was to study the migration pattern of the tibial tray of this TKA. Methods A total of 31 patients were recruited to this single-group radiostereometric analysis (RSA) study and received a medial pivot GMK Sphere TKA. The distributions of male patients versus female patients and right versus left knees were 21:10 and 17:14, respectively. Mean BMI was 29 kg/m2 (95% confidence interval (CI) 27 to 30) and mean age at surgery was 63 years (95% CI 61 to 66). Maximum total point motions (MTPMs), medial, proximal, and anterior translations and transversal, internal, and varus rotations were calculated at three, 12, and 24 months. Patient-reported outcome measure data were also retrieved. Results MTPMs at three, 12, and 24 months were 1.0 mm (95% CI 0.8 to 1.2), 1.3 mm (95% CI 0.9 to 1.7), and 1.4 mm (0.8 to 2.0), respectively. The Forgotten Joint Score was 79 (95% CI 39 to 95) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score obtained at two years was 94 (95% CI 81 to 100), 86 (95% CI 75 to 93), 94 (95% CI 88 to 100), 69 (95% CI 48 to 88), and 81 (95% CI59 to 100) for Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sport & Recreation, and Quality of Life, respectively. Conclusion In conclusion, we found that the mean increase in MTPM was lower than 0.2 mm between 12 and 24 months and thus apparently stable. Yet the GMK Sphere had higher migration at one and two years than anticipated. Based on current RSA data, we therefore cannot conclude on the long-term performance of the implant, pending further assessment. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(9):737–744.

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.

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.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has higher revisions than total knee arthroplasty at long term follow-up: a registry study on 6453 prostheses. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2021; 29:3323-3329. [PMID: 32740877 PMCID: PMC8458185 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-020-06184-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to analyse long-term unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) focusing on survivorship, causes of failure and revision strategy. METHODS This study is a retrospective analysis of data from a regional arthroplasty registry for cases performed between 2000 and 2017. A total of 6453 UKAs were identified and the following information was analysed: demographic data, diagnosis leading to primary implant, survivorship, complication rate, causes of failure, revision strategies. UKA registry data were compared with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) registry data of 54,012 prostheses, which were implanted in the same time period. RESULTS 6453 UKAs were included in the study: the vast majority of them (84.4%) were implanted due to primary osteoarthritis followed by deformity (7.1%) and necrosis of the condyle (5.1%). When compared to TKA, UKA showed lower perioperative complication rate (0.3% compared to 0.6%) but higher revision rate (18.2% at 15 years, compared to 6.2% for TKA). No correlation was found between diagnosis leading to primary implant and prosthesis survival. The most frequent cause of failure was total aseptic loosening (37.4%), followed by pain without loosening (19.8%). Of the 620 UKAs requiring revision, 485 were revised with a TKA and 61 of them required a re-revision; on the other hand, of the 35 cases where another UKA was implanted, 16 required a re-revision. CONCLUSION UKA is associated with fewer perioperative complications but higher revision rates when compared to TKA. Its survivorship is not affected by the diagnosis leading to primary implant. Revision surgery of a failed UKA should be performed implanting a TKA, which is associated with a lower re-revision rate when compared to another UKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3, therapeutic study.

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.

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 Many Asian populations have a unique floor-based lifestyle that might cause mechanical stress of the knees. It is important to clarify the longevity of a medial pivot total knee arthroplasty, as its prosthetic design could cause mechanical stress onto the insert. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical results of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty for Asian patients in a 10-year follow-up study. METHODS Consecutive, primary total knee arthroplasties (n = 257) were analyzed in the study using the medial pivot knee system. The clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at the final follow-up. The patient-reported Forgotten Joint Score-12 and radiological outcomes were measured at the final follow-up. The survival rate was assessed with reoperation or revision as the end-point. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 10.1 ± 1.7 years. The lost to follow-up was 4.5%. All clinical outcomes improved significantly after surgery (p < 0.001). The mean postoperative knee flexion was 118° ± 11° and the mean Forgotten Joint Score-12 was 59.7 ± 27 points. The radiolucent line was observed in 29 patients (11.3%), however there was no aseptic loosening noted. The survival rates with reoperation or revision were 96.3% or 98.4% at 10 years after the operation. CONCLUSIONS Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty used for Asian patients showed good longevity and patient-reported outcome measurement in a mean 10-year follow-up study. Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty has long-term stability among patients who have a floor-based lifestyle. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The medial pivot TKA design was introduced in the 1990s. These are fixed-bearing, medial-conforming implants with virtually no translation in the medial part of the knee, in contrast to the flat lateral part of the insert allowing for translation similar to the native knee during flexion and extension. Most primary TKAs performed in Norway and Australia are cruciate-retaining. All of the medial pivot implants in our study are cruciate-sacrificing but without a post-cam mechanism. The medial pivot implant design was developed to more closely mimic native knee motion, in the hope of improving function, and not primarily as a more constrained knee for difficult cases. In the past 10 to 12 years, a second-generation medial-pivot design has emerged, but there are no larger registry studies on the survival of these implants. Both cruciate-retaining and medial pivot designs are reported in the Australian and Norwegian registries, allowing for large-scale, comparative survivorship studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is there any difference in survival between the medial pivot design and the three most commonly used cruciate-retaining TKA designs? (2) Is there any difference in survival among the different medial pivot implant designs? (3) What are the main indications for revision of medial pivot TKAs? METHODS Registry data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry and Norwegian Arthroplasty Register from 2005 until the end of 2017 were used to compare the five different brands of medial pivot TKA designs (total primary TKAs assessed: 6310). In Australia, the study group of medial pivot implants represented 9% (6012 of 72,477) of the total number of cemented/hybrid TKAs without patellar resurfacing; 345 had cementless femoral components. In Norway, the study group represented 1% (298 of 47,820) of the total number of TKAs with cemented tibias without patellar resurfacing; all had cemented femoral components. The control group consisted of the three most commonly used cruciate-retaining TKA designs (n = 70,870; Australia n = 54,554; Norway n = 16,316). All TKAs used a fixed-bearing, cemented tibial component and did not involve patella resurfacing. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was assessed to estimate survivorship. We compared the groups by calculating the hazard ratios (HR) using Cox regression adjusted for age, gender and preoperative diagnosis with 95% CI. To answer our third question, we calculated the percentage of each revision indication from the total number of revisions in each group, and used a Cox regression analysis to compare revision causes and HRs. Analyses were performed separately by each registry. Accounting for competing risks (Fine and Gray) did not alter our findings []. RESULTS After controlling for potential confounding variables such as gender, age and preoperative diagnosis, we found an increased revision risk for the medial pivot compared with cruciate-retaining TKA designs in Australia (HR 1.4 [95% CI 1.2 to 1.7]; p < 0.001), but not in Norway (HR 1.5 [95% CI 0.9 to 2.4]; p = 0.1). Two brands of the medial pivot design reported to the AOANJRR showed an increased risk of revision compared with cruciate-retaining designs: the Advance® II MP (HR 1.7 [95% CI 1.2 to 2.6]; p = 0.004) and the GMK® Sphere (HR 2.0 [95% CI 1.5 to 2.6]; p < 0.001), whereas the MRK (HR 0.7 [95% CI 0.4 to 1.5]; p = 0.4), the Evolution® MP (HR 1.4 [95% CI 1.0 to 1.9]; p = 0.06) and the SAIPH® (HR 0.9 [95% CI 0.5 to 1.5]; p = 0.7) showed no difference. The most common reasons for revision of medial pivot implants in Australia were infection (27%), pain alone (19%), patellar erosion (13%), loosening/lysis (12%); in Norway the primary indications were loosening/lysis (28%), instability (28%), malalignment (11%) and pain alone (11%). CONCLUSIONS The medial pivot TKA design as a group had a higher revision rate than cruciate-retaining fixed-bearing controls in TKA performed without patellar component resurfacing. By brand, the Advance II MP and the GMK Sphere had inferior survivorship, whereas the MRK, the SAIPH and the Evolution MP had no differences in survivorship compared with cruciate-retaining controls. In Australia, TKAs with the medial pivot design without patella resurfacing had a higher rate of revisions for instability, malalignment, and patella erosion. In Norway, there was an increased risk of revision for lysis and loosening compared with the cruciate-retaining design. Several of these implants had short follow-up in this study. Further registry studies with longer follow up are therefore necessary. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

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
PURPOSE Ceramic bearings have been widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), which resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes due to the excellent tribological characteristics of the implants. However, ceramic components are not commonly used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) because of brittleness. This study aimed to gather and analyze information regarding the clinical outcomes (including survival without revision, causes of revision, functional outcome, and incidence of loosening) and reach a definitive conclusion about the use of ceramic femoral components in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for studies that reported the clinical and/or radiological outcomes with or without survival data of ceramic TKA implants and that included more than 10 patients with a minimum of 1 year follow-up. RESULTS From an initial sample of 147, there were 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Overall, there was a notable enhancement of joint function after the procedure, with a satisfactory mid- and long-term survival of the ceramic components, which is comparable to that of the conventional alloy components reported previously. In addition, the revision rate was reported to be between 0% and 14.37% according to the included studies. However, revision due to aseptic loosening, wear, and component fracture appeared to be rare, demonstrating the safety of in vivo use of ceramic bearings in the TKA procedure. CONCLUSIONS Ceramic TKA implants show similar post-operative clinical results and survival rate compared to their conventional metallic counterparts. Our results confirmed the safety of in vivo use of ceramic bearings in TKA, with rare implant breakage and aseptic loosening. Considering the excellent characteristics of the tribology of ceramics, the clinical use of ceramic prostheses in TKA could be promising.

A Retrospective Comparison of a Medial Pivot and Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty With Respect to Patient-Reported and Radiographic Outcomes. J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:1379-1383. [PMID: 29276117 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2017.11.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2017] [Revised: 11/13/2017] [Accepted: 11/24/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial pivot (MP) type total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants are designed with a highly congruent medial tibiofemoral articulation. Compared with the cam-and-post design of the posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA, the MP-TKA design has been hypothesized to better replicate the natural kinematics of the knee. We compared the MP-TKA and PS-TKA designs, with our primary outcome measures being range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported satisfaction. METHODS This study was a retrospective comparison between the 2 groups (76 MP-TKA vs 88 PS-TKA). ROM was collected preoperatively, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) scores were collected at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, or body mass index between the groups. We found a statistical difference in preoperative ROM (MP = 120.3°, PS = 112.8°, P = .002). There was no difference in ΔROM at 6 weeks (MP = -12.36, PS = -3.79, P = .066), 6 months (MP = -4.23, PS = 2.73, P = .182), or 1 year (MP = .17, PS = 3.31, P = .499). Patients who underwent the MP-TKA scored significantly better than the PS-TKA on the FJS-12 score (MP = 59.72, PS = 44.77, P = .007). CONCLUSION We found that patients who underwent the MP-TKA scored better on the FJS than those who underwent the PS-TKA; particularly with regard to deep knee flexion and stability of the prosthesis. The MP-TKA design may offer improved patient outcomes because of its highly congruent medial tibiofemoral articulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial stabilized total knee joint replacement (TKJR) construct is designed to closely replicate the kinematics of the knee. Little is known regarding comparison of clinical functional outcomes of patients utilising validated patient reported outcome measures (PROM) after medial stabilized TKJR and other construct designs. PURPOSE To perform a systematic review of the available literature related to the assessment of clinical functional outcomes following a TKJR employing a medial stabilized construct design. METHODS The review was performed with a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) algorithm. The literature search was performed using variouscombinations of keywords. The statistical analysis was completed using Review Manager (RevMan), Version 5.3. RESULTS In the nineteen unique studies identified, there were 2,448 medial stabilized TKJRs implanted in 2,195 participants, there were 1,777 TKJRs with non-medial stabilized design constructs implanted in 1,734 subjects. The final mean Knee Society Score (KSS) value in the medial stabilized group was 89.92 compared to 90.76 in the non-medial stabilized group, with the final KSS mean value difference between the two groups was statistically significant and favored the non-medial stabilized group (SMD 0.21; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.41; p = 004). The mean difference in the final WOMAC values between the two groups was also statistically significant and favored the medial stabilized group (SMD: -0.27; 95% CI: -0.47 to -0.07; p = 0.009). Moderate to high values (I2 ) of heterogeneity were observed during the statistical comparison of these functional outcomes. CONCLUSION Based on the small number of studies with appropriate statistical analysis, we are unable to reach a clear conclusion in the clinical performance of medial stabilized knee replacement construct.

Total knee arthroplasty with the Medial-Pivot knee system: Clinical and radiological outcomes at 9.5 years' mean follow-up. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2018; 104:185-191. [PMID: 29274863 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2017.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2017] [Revised: 09/26/2017] [Accepted: 10/02/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The "ball-in-socket" design of the Medial-Pivot knee system (MicroPort Orthopedics, Arlington, Tennessee, USA) aims to reproduce normal knee kinematics by medializing its rotational axis. The goal of this study was to measure knee range of motion (ROM) with this implant after a mean follow-up of 10 years and to report the survivorship and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes. We hypothesized the prosthetic knee would have at least 120° flexion at 10 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was retrospective, single-centre study of 74 Medial-Pivot knees implanted in 71 patients (average age of 69 years) between May 2005 and November 2007. All patients who received a Medial-Pivot knee were included consecutively. The mean follow-up was 10 years. Clinical and radiological assessments were performed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and Ewald's score. Kaplan-Meir survival analysis was used to calculate survivorship. RESULTS Seven percent of cases were lost to follow-up. The knee ROM was 110° at 10 years. The survivorship was 93% for all revision causes and 95.9% when revisions due to trauma or infection were excluded. The mean KSS score was 195. Stable radiolucent lines were found in 14% of cases. No aseptic loosening was observed. CONCLUSION Our hypothesis was not confirmed. Knee flexion at the final follow-up was comparable to other semi-constrained implant designs but was not as large as expected. The survival of the Medial-Pivot knee at 10 years is good. Its radiological and clinical outcomes are satisfactory. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV (retrospective cohort study).
