We hypothesized that using the navigation system, intra-operative knee kinematics after implantation measured may predict that post-operative kinematic in activities of daily living. Our aim was to compare intra-operative knee kinematics by a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system and post-operative by the 2- to 3-dimensional registration techniques (2D3D).

This study were performed for 8 patients (10 knees, medial osteoarthritis) who underwent primary PS TKA using CT-based navigation system. The median follow-up period from operation date to fluoroscopic surveillance date was 13 months (range 5 – 37 months). Navigation and 2D3D had a common coordinate origin for components. Medial and lateral femoral condyle anterior-posterior translation (MFT and LFT) were respectively defined as the distance of the projection of the points (which was set on the top of the posterior femoral pegs) onto the axial plane of the tibial coordinate system. Intraoperative kinematics was measured using the navigation system after final implantation and closure of the retinaculum during passive full flexion and extension imposed by the surgeon. Under fluoroscopic surveillance in the sagittal plane, each patient was asked to perform sequential deep knee flexion under both weight bearing (WB) and non-weight bearing (NWB) conditions from full extension to maximum flexion. Repeated two-way ANOVA (tasks × flexion angles) were used, and then post-hoc test (paired t-tests with Boferroni correction) were performed. The level of statistical significant difference was set at 0.05 on two-way ANOVAs and 0.05 / 3 on post-hoc paired t-tests.

Mean range of motion between femoral and tibial components were Intra-operative (Intra): 28.0 ± 9.7, NWB conditions: 120.6 ± 11.1, WB conditions: 125.1 ± 12.9°, respectively. Mean ER (+) / IR (−) from 0° to 120° were Intra-operative (Intra): 9.3 ± 10.2°, NWB conditions: 8.1 ± 8.9, WB conditions: 5.2 ± 7.0, respectively. Mean MFT /LFT from 0° to 90° were Intra; 4.4 ±14.8/ 4.2± 8.5mm, NWB; 6.2 ± 6.9 / 9.2 ± 3.1 mm, WB; 9.2 ± 3.5 / 7.4 ± 2.8 mm, respectively. Mean MFT /LFT from 90° to 120° were Intra; −4.4 ± 2.5 / −5.7 ± 2.9 mm, NWB; −5.5 ± 1.8 / −8.2 ± 0.6 mm, WB; −4.0 ± 1.9 / −5.4 ± 2.3mm, respectively. Mean ADD/ABD from 0° to 120° were Intra;-4.2 ± 3.0, NWB; −0.2 ± 2.1, WB; −0.1 ± 0.8, respectively. Repeated two-way ANOVA showed a significant all interaction on kinematic variables (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference at post-hoc test was found in ER/ IR of all tasks and MFT /LFT of Intra vs NWB and Intra vs WB from 0° to 120° (p>0.05 / 3).

The Conditions of these tasks were different from each others. Our study demonstrated that intra-operative kinematics could predict post-operative kinematics.
