An Insert Goniometer Can Help Select the Optimal Insert Thickness When Performing Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty with a Medial 1:1 Ball-in-Socket and Lateral Flat Surface Insert and Posterior Cruciate Ligament Retention.

Current surgical practices in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have advanced and include significant changes and improvements in alignment philosophies, femorotibial implant conformities, and ligament management to replicate in vivo knee kinematics. While corrective measures have emphasized sagittal plane alignment to restore normal flexion-extension (F-E) motion and coronal plane ligament balance, internal-external (I-E) rotation kinematics in the axial plane have been largely neglected. Recent in vivo evidence indicates that the combination of factors necessary to closely restore native tibial rotation as the knee flexes and extends is kinematic alignment (KA), which resurfaces the patient's pre-arthritic knee without releasing ligaments, an insert with medial 1:1 ball-in-socket conformity and a lateral flat surface, and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention. However, the inherent anterior-posterior (A-P) stability provided by the medial 1:1 ball-in-socket limits the surgeon's ability to select the correct insert thickness using manual laxity testing. Accordingly, this review presents the design and validation of an instrument called an insert goniometer that measures I-E tibial rotation for inserts that differ in thickness by 1 mm and uses rotation limits at extension and 90° flexion to select the optimal insert thickness. The optimal thickness is the one that provides the greatest external tibial orientation in extension and internal tibial orientation at 90° flexion without lift-off of the insert.

Femorotibial rotation is linearly associated with tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance: A cadaveric study

ObjectivesA tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance of 20 millimeters (mm) is typically used when determining whether tibial tubercle medialization is performed for the surgical treatment of patellar instability. Without knowledge of how the variability of an individual's TT-TG distance is influenced by through-the-knee femorotibial rotation, the use of a specific TT-TG distance during preoperative planning for patellar instability may lead to incorrect decisions on the use of tibial tubercle medialization. We hypothesized that knee joint internal/external (IE) rotation is related to the TT-TG distance. MethodsEight independent human cadaveric knee specimens (age: 32 ​± ​6 years; 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 IE rotation under applied moments of ±5 newton-meters (Nm) at full extension. Two independent reviewers selected the trochlear groove and tibial tuberosity points on computerized tomography (CT) images of each specimen to define TT-TG. To determine the influence of knee joint IE rotation on TT-TG distance, three-dimensional (3D) models generated from CT scans were registered to tibiofemoral kinematics. Linear regression was performed to determine the relationship between knee joint IE rotation and TT-TG distance. The regression coefficient, standard error of measurement (α ​= ​0.05), and coefficient of determination (r2) were reported. ResultsAt 0° of rotation, the mean TT-TG distance was 14.2 ​± ​5.0 ​mm. Knee joint IE rotation averaged 23.0 ​± ​4.2°. For every degree of knee joint IE rotation, TT-TG distance changed by 0.52 ​mm. ConclusionTT-TG distance was linearly dependent on knee joint IE rotation, changing by 0.52 ​mm for every degree of knee joint IE rotation. Thus, an offset of IE rotation of 10° would lead to a change in TT-TG distance of 5.2 ​mm, enough to alter the surgical decision-making for/or against tibial tubercle medialization. Level of Evidence: IVThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

Biomechanical effects of cranial closing wedge osteotomy on joint stability in normal canine stifles: an ex vivo study.

Cranial closing wedge osteotomy (CCWO) is a functional stabilisation technique for cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) ruptures. This biomechanical study aimed to evaluate the influence of CCWO on the stability of the stifle joint. Eighteen Beagle stifle joints were divided into two groups: control and CCWO. The stifle joints were analyzed using a six-degree-of-freedom robotic joint biomechanical testing system. The joints were subjected to 30N in the craniocaudal (CrCd) drawer and proximal compression tests and 1 Nm in the internal-external (IE) rotation test. Each test was performed with an extension position, 135°, and 120° of joint angle. The stifle joints were tested while the CrCLs were intact and then transected. In the drawer test, the CCWO procedure, CrCL transection, and stifle joint flexion increased CrCd displacement. The CCWO procedure and CrCL transection showed an interaction effect. In the compression test, the CCWO procedure decreased and CrCL transection and stifle joint flexion increased displacement. In the IE rotation test, CCWO, CrCL transection, and stifle joint flexion increased the range of motion. CCWO was expected to provide stability against compressive force but does not contribute to stability in the drawer or rotational tests. In the CCWO-treated stifle joint, instability during the drawer test worsened with CrCL transection. In other words, performing the CCWO procedure when the CrCL function is present is desirable for stabilizing the stifle joint.

Significantly better precision with new machine learning versus manual image registration software in processing images from single-plane fluoroscopy to determine tibiofemoral kinematics following total knee replacement.

One common method to determine tibiofemoral kinematics following total knee replacement (TKR) is to capture single-plane fluoroscopic images of a patient activity and determine anterior-posterior (AP) positions of the femoral condyles and internal-external (IE) tibial rotation. Although JointTrack is widely used to analyze such images, precision (i.e. repeatability) in determining AP positions and IE tibial rotations using the two publicly available programs has never been quantified. The objectives were to determine the precision and reproducibility of results using both programs. Fluoroscopic images of 16 patients who performed a weight-bearing deep knee bend following TKR were analyzed. JointTrack Manual (JTM) and JointTrack Machine Learning (JTML) were used to perform 3D model-to-2D image registration after which AP positions of the femoral condyles and IE tibial rotations were determined. Precision in AP positions and IE rotations was quantified. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for both repeatability (i.e. intraobserver) and reproducibility (i.e. interobserver) also were determined. Precision using JTM was worse than JTML for AP positions of the medial and lateral femoral condyles (1.0 mm and 0.9 mm vs 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). For IE tibial rotation, precision also was worse using JTM versus JTML (1.1º vs 0.9°, p = 0.010). ICC values for JTML indicated good to excellent agreement (range: 0.82-0.98) whereas ICC values for JTM indicated only moderate to good agreement (range: 0.58-0.88). JTML has better precision and reproducibility than JTM and also is more efficient to use. Therefore, use of JTML over JTM is strongly recommended.

Formulation and selection of blue economy operational business strategy using Montecarlo Simulation and Multi Criteria Decision Making

The Cirebon Government has provided guidelines for the establishment of mangrove ecotourism aimed at reducing the level of mangrove damage in Cirebon, which has reached 75%. One of the newly established mangrove ecotourism sites in January 2023 is the “Kasih Sayang Mangrove Ecotourism Area.” This tourism destination focuses solely on the natural beauty of the mangrove ecosystem, generating revenue from entrance tickets and parking fees. Therefore, a business operational strategy is needed to increase income and the number of visitors. The strategy design is based on the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) Matrix, External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix, Internal-External (IE) Matrix, and the General Strategy of Blue Economy, resulting in three alternative strategies: Mangrove Planting Scheme for Tourists, Paddling Attractions for Tourists, and Utilization of Mangrove Trees as Souvenirs. The selected alternative strategy, using the Monte Carlo Simulation and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach, is the Paddling Attractions for Tourists, with an average Net Present Value of Rp 92,210,01, an investment of Rp 544,298,000, an additional 5 local workers, and an estimated 14,598 kg of waste.

Quantification of the passive behavior of the glenohumeral joint: A biomechanical study

Shoulder stabilization and arthroplasty procedures aim to restore the complex motion innate to the glenohumeral joint relying on proper tensioning of the surrounding soft-tissues at the time of surgery. Joint instability remains a leading cause for revisions of these procedures necessitating a deeper understanding of the passive constraint of the intact glenohumeral joint. The current literature lacks comprehensive analysis of the passive glenohumeral joint in all degrees-of-freedom (DOF). The objective of the present study is to better understand this complex joint by quantifying the passive laxity of the glenohumeral joint in multiple DOFs over a range of motion. Sixteen fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested in the intact state using a robotic simulator capable of six-DOF motion. The limits of range of motion was quantified in separate laxity tests applying a ± 2 Nm internal-external (IE) torque, ±20 N anterior-posterior (AP) force, ±20 N superior-inferior (SI) force and a 44 N distraction force at six levels of glenohumeral abduction. Overall, glenohumeral joint laxity was greatest between 15° and 45° of abduction except for SI translation which increased with abduction. IE rotation and AP translation were dominated by external rotation and anterior translation, respectively. Although early abduction and late abduction produced similar laxities, the increase in laxity in the mid abduction range indicates it is important to assess the shoulder joint throughout the range of motion and not just at these two end points. The presented laxity data establishes a baseline for intact shoulder laxity over a range of motion in multiple DOFs under known loading conditions.

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.
