Object

Although single-radius designs have theoretical advantages in some aspects, there has been a paucity of evaluation studies. The purpose of this study was to compare 10-year clinical, radiological, survivorship outcomes of single radius and multi radius posterior stabilized prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty(TKA) with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Method

In this retrospective observational study, we reviewed 240 patients (240 knees) with RA who underwent TKA between Oct 2005 and Dec 2007: SR group (120 patients, 120 knees, Stryker Scorpio NRG) and MR group (120 patients, 120 knees, Depuy sigma RP). A 1 : 1 matched case control study was conducted in two groups which were similar in terms of age, gender, BMI, ASA classification and operation team. Mean follow-up periods were 10.73±1.13 (range: 8–13) years and 10.82±1.09 (range: 7–13) years.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of limb alignment and component positioning after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) performed using fixed or individual distal femoral valgus correction angle(VCA)in valgus knees.

Materials and Methods

One hundred and twenty-four patients were randomised to undergo TKA with either of the clinical baseline, radiological outcomes and subsequent outcome such as knee HSS scores, knee range of motion (ROM) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were assessed. Knees in the individual group (n=62) were performed with a tailored VCA. Knees in the fixed group (n=62) were performed utilizing a 4°VCA.

Purpose

Recently many authors have questioned the role of tourniquets in primary knee arthroplasty (TKA). Meanwhile, whether the use of an intra-articular wound drainage is an advance over the lack of a drain in TKA is controversial in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of drainage or not in TKA without a tourniquet.

Methods

Eighty participants who underwent primary unilateral TKA were prospectively enrolled and were randomized to one of two techniques during surgery without a tourniquet: drainage (Group A) or non-drainage (Group B). Blood loss was monitored perioperatively. The operating time, allogeneic blood transfusion rate, thigh pain, knee pain, limb swelling, clinical outcome as measured by the hospital for special surgery (HSS) score, the ability to straight-leg raise, visual analog scale (VAS) in pain, length of stay and knee active range of motion (ROM) were also recorded. The digital radiographs taken at 6 months postoperatively were assessed for cement mantle thickness and radiolucency using the Knee Society radiographic zones.

Purpose

There is controversial whether synovectomy must be done in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The objectivity of the study was to compare the effect of synovectomy on inflammation and clinical outcomes after surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Methods

A total of 240 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKR were randomly divided into a group without (Group A) and with synovectomy (Group B). All operations were performed by the same surgeon and follow-up was for 4 year. Clinical outcomes (including American Knee Society score (AKS), SF-36, and HSS scores) serum inflammatory markers (including interleukin-6 (IL-6), CRP and ESR) and the difference in temperature of the affected knee skin, swelling, ROM, patients VAS satisfaction score and VAS pain score were sequentially evaluated until 4 years after surgery.


Purpose

Previous studies have demonstrated pronounced reduction of sleep quality following major surgery, which may affect postoperative pain and early recovery. This prospective, randomized, controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effect of zolpidem on sleep quality in fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

180 patients who underwent primary TKA were enrolled in this study and randomized 1:1 to receive either zolpidem (Group A) or placebo (Group B) for 6 days. VAS pain scores (rest, ambulation, flexion, and night), range of motion (ROM), opioid analgesics use, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and other complication, sleep efficacy and patients VAS satisfaction were recorded postoperatively and at 1, 3, 5 after surgery. Sleep quality was measured using the polysomnography (PSG) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

Objective

To explore whether good postoperative alignment could be obtained through simple individual valgus resection angle using common instruments in total knee arthroplasty with lateral bowing femur.

Methods

Data of 46 TKAs with lateral bowing femur were collected prospectively, the center of the femoral intercondylar notch was the fixed drilling hole whether preoperative planning or intraoperative implementing. The intramedullary rod was put into the femur as deep as possible, until completely entrance or the distal point of the rod contact with the lateral cortical bone of the femur, which prevent the further entrance of the rod. Individual valgus resection angle ranging from 7°to 9°was performed according to preoperative planning, followed by meticulous assessment of matching between cutting surface and valgus resection angle. Postoperative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle?medial tibial plate angle and position of lower extremity alignment passing through the tibial plate were measured.

Background

Recent anthropometric studies have suggested that current design of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) does not cater to racial anthropometric differences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the exact sizing and rotational landmarks of the distal femur collected and its gender differences from a large group of healthy Southern Chinese using 3D-CT measurements, and then compare these measurements to the five total knee prostheses conventionally used in China.

Methods

This study evaluated distal femoral geometry in 85 healthy Southern Chinese, included 39 females (78 knees) and 46 males (92 knees) with a mean age of 33.9 years,a mean height of 164.7 cm and a mean weight of 59.9 kg. The width of the articular surface as projected onto the transepicondylar line(ML), anteroposterior dimension (AP), the dimensions from medial/lateral epicondyle to posterior condylar (MEP/LEP) were measured. A characterization of the aspect ratio (ML/AP) was made for distal femur. The angles between the tangent line of the posterior condylar surfaces, the Whiteside line, the transepicondylar line, and the trochlear line were measured. The sulcus angle and hip center-femoral shaft angle were also measured [Fig. 1]. The data were compared with the five total knee prostheses conventionally used in China. In analyzing the data, best-fit lines were calculated with use of least-squares regression. The dimensions are summarized as the mean and standard deviation. Comparisons of dimensions between males and females were made with use of the two-sample t test. A p value of <0.05 indicated a significant effect.

Background

Recent anthropometric studies have suggested that current design of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) does not cater to racial anthropometric differences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the exact sizing and rotational landmarks of the distal femur collected from a large group of healthy Southern Chinese using three dimensional computer tomographic measurements, and then compare these measurements to the known dimensions from Caucasian populations.

Methods

This study evaluated distal femoral geometry in 125 healthy Southern Chinese, included 58 women (106 knees) and 67 men (134 knees) with a mean age of 35.2±8.11 years, a mean height of 165.5±7.94 cm, and a mean weight of 61.7±9.56 kg. The width of the articular surface as projected onto the transepicondylar line(ML), anteroposterior dimension (AP), the dimensions from medial/lateral epicondyle to posterior condylar (MEP/LEP)were measured. A characterization of the aspect ratio (ML/AP) was made for distal femur[Fig. 1]. The angles between the tangent line of the posterior condylar surfaces, the Whiteside line, the transepicondylar line, and the trochlear line were measured. The sulcus angle and hip center-femoral shaft angle were also measured. Known dimensions from Caucasian populations were compared with the morphologic data collected in this study[Fig. 2]. In analyzing the data, best-fit lines were calculated with use of least-squares regression. The dimensions are summarized as the mean and standard deviation. The differences of rotational landmarks and sizing between the Southern Chinese and Caucasians were assessed with use of the Student t test. A p value of <0.05 indicated a significant effect.
