Wider translations and rotations in posterior-stabilised mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty compared to fixed-bearing both implanted with mechanical alignment: a dynamic RSA study

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the in vivo kinematics of the same femoral design mechanically aligned posterior-stabilised (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with either fixed-bearing (FB) or mobile-bearing (MB) inlay, implanted by the same surgeon, using model-based dynamic radiostereometric analysis (RSA). The hypothesis of the present study was that the MB design would show wider axial rotation than the FB design, without affecting the clinical outcomes.Materials and methodsA cohort of 21 non-randomised patients (21 DePuy Attune PS-FB) was evaluated by dynamic RSA analysis at a minimum 9-month follow-up, while performing differently demanding daily living activities such as sit to stand (STS) and deep knee lunge (DKL). Kinematic data were compared with those of a cohort of 22 patients implanted with the same prosthetic design but with MB inlay. Anterior–posterior (AP) translations, varus–valgus (VV) and internal–external (IE) rotations of the femoral component with respect to the tibial baseplate were investigated. Translation of medial and lateral compartment was analysed using the low point method according to Freeman et al. Questionnaires to calculate objective and subjective clinical scores were administered preoperatively and during follow-up visit by the same investigator.ResultsThe FB TKA design showed lower AP translation during STS (6.8 ± 3.3 mm in FB vs 9.9 ± 3.7 mm in MB, p = 0.006*), lower VV rotation (1.9 ± 0.8° in FB vs 5.3 ± 3.3° in MB, p = 0.005) and lower IE rotation (2.8 ± 1.1° in FB vs 9.5 ± 4.3° in MB, p = 0.001) during DKL than the mobile-bearing TKA design. Posterior-stabilised FB group showed significant lower translation of the low point of the medial compartment than the MB group (p = 0.008). The percentage of patients performing medial pivot in the FB group was higher compared to MB group in the examined motor tasks. No significant differences in post-operative range of motion (117° ± 16° for FB group and 124° ± 13° for MB group) and in clinical outcomes emerged between the two cohort.ConclusionsThe FB and MB designs differed in AP translations, VV rotations and IE rotations of the femoral component with respect to the tibial component in STS and DKL. Furthermore, FB cohort reported a significant higher percentage of medial pivot with respect to MB cohort. Despite this, no differences in clinical outcomes were detected between groups. Both designs showed stable kinematics and represent a viable option in primary TKA.Level of evidenceProspective cohort study, II.

A WEARABLE SENSING SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF KNEE CONDITION

AbstractRehabilitation exercise is critical for patients’ recovery after knee injury or post-surgery. Unfortunately, adherence to exercise is low due to a lack of positive feedback and poor self-motivation. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor their progress and provide supervision. Inertial measurement unit (IMUs) based sensing technology can provide remote patient monitoring functions. However, most current solutions only measure the range of knee motion in one degree of freedom. The current IMUs estimate the orientation-angle based on the integrated raw data, which might lack accuracy in measuring knee motion. This study aims to develop an IMU-based sensing system using the absolute measured orientation-angle to provide more accurate comprehensive monitoring by measuring the knee rotational angles.An IMU sensing system monitoring the knee joint angles, flexion/extension (FE), adduction/abduction (AA), and internal/external (IE) was developed. The accuracy and reliability of FE measurements were validated in human participants during squat exercise using measures including root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient.The RMSE of the three knee angles (FE, AA, and IE) were 0.82°, 0.26°, and 0.11°, which are acceptable for assessing knee motion. The FE measurement was validated in human participants and showed excellent accuracy (correlation coefficient of 0.99°). Further validation of AA and IE in human participants is underway.The sensing system showed the capability to estimate three knee rotation angles (FE, AA, and IE). It showed the potential to provide comprehensive continuous monitoring for knee rehabilitation exercises, which can also be used as a clinical assessment tool.

Poster 138: Intra-articular Femorotibial Rotation is Associated with Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove Distance

Objectives: A tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance of 20 mm is typically used when determining whether tibial tubercle anteromedialization (AMZ) is needed for patellar instability. TT-TG distance, however, may depend on the internal/external (IE) rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur, which is typically not controlled for. Without knowledge of the variability in an individual’s TT-TG influenced by femorotibial rotation, the use of a specific TT-TG distance during pre-operative planning for patellar instability may lead to incorrect decisions on the use of tibial tubercle AMZ. We hypothesized that knee joint IE rotation is related to the TT-TG distance. Methods: A total of 8 independent human cadaveric knee specimens (age: 32±6; 4 males, 4 females) were utilized. A robotic manipulator (ZX165U, Kawasaki Robotics, Wixom, MI, USA) instrumented with a universal force/moment sensor was used to determine knee joint internal/external (IE) rotation under applied moments of ±5Nm at full extension. Two independent reviewers selected the trochlear groove and tibial tuberosity points on CT images of each specimen to define TT-TG (ICC=0.969). To determine the influence of knee joint IE rotation on TT-TG, 3D models generated from CT scans were registered to tibiofemoral kinematics. Subsequently, linear regression was performed to determine the relationship between knee joint IE rotation and TT-TG. Regression coefficient and standard error of measurement (α=0.05), and coefficient of determination (r2) were reported. Results: Knee joint IE rotation averaged 23.0 ± 4.2°. TT-TG changed by 12.1 ± 2.8 mm over this range. For every degree of knee joint IE rotation, TT-TG changed by 0.52 ± 0.07 mm (p<0.001 and r2>0.987). At neutral rotation, the TT-TG averaged 14.21 ± 5.0 mm. Conclusions: TT-TG was highly dependent on knee joint IE rotation changing by 0.52 mm for every degree of knee joint IE rotation. Thus, an offset in IE rotation of 10° would lead to a change in TT-TG of 5.2 mm, enough to alter surgical decision making for or against tibial tubercle AMZ. Physicians should pay close attention to knee joint IE rotation when measuring TT-TG in their patients, specifically in patients found to have a TT-TG near 20 mm, a key indication for surgical treatment of patellar instability.

Posterior-stabilized versus mid-level constraint polyethylene components in total knee arthroplasty.

Mid-level constraint designs for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are intended to reduce coronal plane laxity. Our aims were to compare kinematics and ligament forces of the Zimmer Biomet Persona posterior-stabilized (PS) and mid-level designs in the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes under loads simulating clinical exams of the knee in a cadaver model. We performed TKA on eight cadaveric knees and loaded them using a robotic manipulator. We tested both PS and mid-level designs under loads simulating clinical exams via applied varus and valgus moments, internal-external (IE) rotation moments, and anteroposterior forces at 0°, 30°, and 90° of flexion. We measured the resulting tibiofemoral angulations and translations. We also quantified the forces carried by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL/LCL) via serial sectioning of these structures and use of the principle of superposition. Mid-level inserts reduced varus angulations compared to PS inserts by a median of 0.4°, 0.9°, and 1.5° at 0°, 30°, and 90° of flexion, respectively, and reduced valgus angulations by a median of 0.3°, 1.0°, and 1.2° (p ≤ 0.027 for all comparisons). Mid-level inserts reduced net IE rotations by a median of 5.6°, 14.7°, and 17.5° at 0°, 30°, and 90°, respectively (p = 0.012). Mid-level inserts reduced anterior tibial translation only at 90° of flexion by a median of 3.0 millimetres (p = 0.036). With an applied varus moment, the mid-level insert decreased LCL force compared to the PS insert at all three flexion angles that were tested (p ≤ 0.036). In contrast, with a valgus moment the mid-level insert did not reduce MCL force. With an applied internal rotation moment, the mid-level insert decreased LCL force at 30° and 90° by a median of 25.7 N and 31.7 N, respectively (p = 0.017 and p = 0.012). With an external rotation moment, the mid-level insert decreased MCL force at 30° and 90° by a median of 45.7 N and 20.0 N, respectively (p ≤ 0.017 for all comparisons). With an applied anterior load, MCL and LCL forces showed no differences between the two inserts at 30° and 90° of flexion. The mid-level insert used in this study decreased coronal and axial plane laxities compared to the PS insert, but its stabilizing benefit in the sagittal plane was limited. Both mid-level and PS inserts depended on the MCL to resist anterior loads during a simulated clinical exam of anterior laxity.

Development of Multibundle Virtual Ligaments to Simulate Knee Mechanics After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Preclinical evaluation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components is essential to understanding their mechanical behavior and developing strategies for improving joint stability. While preclinical testing of TKA components has been useful in quantifying their effectiveness, such testing can be criticized for lacking clinical relevance, as the important contributions of surrounding soft tissues are either neglected or greatly simplified. The purpose of our study was to develop and determine if subject-specific virtual ligaments reproduce a similar behavior as native ligaments surrounding TKA joints. Six TKA knees were mounted to a motion simulator. Each was subjected to tests of anterior-posterior (AP), internal-external (IE), and varus-valgus (VV) laxity. The forces transmitted through major ligaments were measured using a sequential resection technique. By tuning the measured ligament forces and elongations to a generic nonlinear elastic ligament model, virtual ligaments were designed and used to simulate the soft tissue envelope around isolated TKA components. The average root-mean-square error (RMSE) between the laxity results of TKA joints with native versus virtual ligaments was 3.5 ± 1.8 mm during AP translation, 7.5 ± 4.2 deg during IE rotations, and 2.0 ± 1.2 deg during VV rotations. Interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) indicated a good level of reliability for AP and IE laxity (0.85 and 0.84). To conclude, the advancement of virtual ligament envelopes as a more realistic representation of soft tissue constraint around TKA joints is a valuable approach for obtaining clinically relevant kinematics when testing TKA components on joint motion simulators.
