- Abstract
Successful patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) requires appropriate patient selection, correct implant positioning and attention to surgical technique. Whilst the original concept and rationale offered an attractive surgical option for patients with isolated patellofemoral arthritis, early results were disappointing and consequently many surgeons became reluctant to offer it. With newer-generation designs, outcomes have been more promising. However, attention to surgical technique remains an integral component to a successful outcome, with results being unforgiving when surgical errors are made. This paper explores the key components of the surgical technique in PFA, including implant design, patient selection and tips to avoid common mistakes., (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Purpose: Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an accepted treatment option in cases of end-stage lateral osteoarthritis. While lateral UKA has many proposed advantages compared to total knee arthroplasty, its technical challenges and relatively small number of cases make this an uncommon procedure. The aim of this study was to report the survivorship and functional outcomes beyond 20 years of follow-up of isolated UKA., Methods: Between January 1988 and October 2003, 54 lateral UKAs were performed in a single center. The fitted prosthesis was a fixed plate and cemented polyethylene (PE). All patients had isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis, including five open meniscectomies, three arthroscopies, and three open reductions of lateral tibial plateau fractures. Patients with a minimum of 20 years of follow-up were included in the final analysis., Results: Of the 54 UKA, 22 died before reaching the minimum follow-up period and four were lost to follow-up. Twenty-eight were included in the final analysis. Among them, 21 patients remained alive and an additional seven were deceased after 20 years. The mean age at the last follow-up was 84.8 ± 11.9 years with a mean follow-up duration of 22.5 ± 2.1 years. Of the 28 knees, eight underwent revision surgery (5 for the progression of osteoarthritis; 2 for aseptic loosening; 1 for PE wear). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a survival rate at 20 and 25 years of 72.3% (CI 59.1; 88.6). The average time to revision was 14.9 ± 4.9 years. At the last follow-up, the mean function Knee Society Score (KSS) was 41.5 ± 32.9 and the mean objective KSS score was 79.4 ± 9.7. In the unrevised population, 94.7% of patients (n = 18) reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the surgery., Conclusion: Lateral UKA remains a viable treatment option for patients with isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis, providing satisfactory 20-year implant survivorship and high patient satisfaction., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Objectives: Robotic tools have been developed to improve planning, accuracy and outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to describe and illustrate a novel technique for assessing the patellofemoral (PFJ) in TKA using an imageless robotic platform., Methods: A consecutive series of 30 R-TKA was undertaken by a single surgeon utilising the described technique. A technique to dynamically assess the PFJ intra-operatively, pre- and post-implantation was developed. A full set of data from 9 cases was then collected and reviewed for analysis. A series of dynamic PFJ tracks collected intra-operatively pre- and post-implantation are presented. Furthermore, a full assessment of PFJ over and under-stuffing through a 90° arc of flexion is illustrated. Finally, a pre- and post-centre of rotation for the PFJ was defined and measured., Results: The described technique was defined over a series of 30 R-TKA using the described robotic platform. Nine cases were analysed to determine what data could be measured using the robotic platform. Intra-operative real-time data allowed a visual assessment of PFJ tracking through a range of motion of 0°-90° flexion pre- and post-implantation. PFJ over and under-stuffing was also assessed intra-operatively through a range of motion of 0°-90° flexion. Post-operative analysis allowed a more detailed study to be performed, including defining a pre- and post-implantation centre of rotation (COR) for the patella. Defining the COR allowed the definition of a patella plane. Furthermore, patella mediolateral shift in full extension, and end flexion could be measured., Conclusion: Intra-operative assessment of the PFJ in TKA is challenging. Robotic tools have been developed to improve measurement, accuracy of delivery and outcomes in TKA. These tools can be adapted in novel ways to assess the PFJ, which may lead to further refinements in TKA techniques., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Jobe shatrov reports statistical analysis was provided by Smith and Nephew Inc.

- Abstract
Purpose: The association between the prevalence of patellofemoral arthritis (PFA) and femoral tunnel positioning following isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) has not been well described. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between femoral tunnel positioning and the prevalence of PFA., Methods: This was a single-centre study of patients undergoing an isolated MPFLr between 2006 and 2011 with a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. Outcomes assessed were the presence of PFA on radiographs, recurrence of instability requiring revision surgery and patient-reported outcomes, including Kujala, Tegner and IKDC scores. Tunnel positioning was assessed on postoperative radiographs using two radiographic methods: Schöttle's point and the grid method to localise the femoral tunnel. Patients were grouped based on tunnel positioning and compared., Results: Fifty patients were analysed at a mean follow-up of 12.4 years. Thirty-three patients (66%) had a femoral tunnel position within 7 mm of Schöttle's point and 39 (78%) within the anatomic quadrant, with the most common location according to the grid method in D4 (28%) and E4 (26%), respectively. Thirty-seven patients (74%) had a satisfactory (>80 versus <80) Kujala score at long-term follow-up. None of the examined tunnel assessment methods demonstrated a significant relationship with Tegner, Kujala or International Knee Documentation Committee scores. Patients with a femoral tunnel position >7 mm outside Schöttle's point or were considered to be in a nonanatomic position were not significantly more likely to result in unsatisfactory Kujala scores at the last follow-up. Tunnel positioning and the other tested parameters were not found to be significantly associated with the development of PFA., Conclusion: No correlation between femoral tunnel position and risk of PFA or poor outcomes was observed in patients undergoing isolated MPFLr at long-term follow-up. The impact of femoral tunnel placement on long-term outcomes in patients with PFI may be less significant than originally considered., Level of Evidence: Level IV., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: There is little evidence of the biomechanical performance of medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstructions for restoring stability to the MCL-deficient knee regarding valgus, external rotation (ER), and anteromedial rotatory instability (AMRI)., Hypothesis: A short isometric reconstruction will better restore stability than a longer superficial MCL (sMCL) reconstruction, and an additional deep MCL (dMCL) graft will better control ER and AMRI than single-strand reconstructions., Study Design: Controlled laboratory study., Methods: Nine cadaveric human knees were tested in a kinematics rig that allowed tibial loading while the knee was flexed-extended 0° to 100°. Optical markers were placed on the femur and tibia and displacements were measured using a stereo camera system. The knee was tested intact, and then after MCL (sMCL + dMCL) transection, and loaded in anterior tibial translation (ATT), ER, varus-valgus, and combined ATT + ER (AMRI loading). Five different isometric MCL reconstructions were tested: isolated long sMCL, a short construct, each with and without dMCL addition, and isolated dMCL reconstruction, using an 8 mm-wide synthetic graft., Results: MCL deficiency caused an increase in ER of 4° at 0° of flexion ( P = .271) up to 14° at 100° of flexion ( P = .002), and valgus laxity increased by 5° to 8° between 0° and 100° of flexion ( P < .024 at 0°-90°). ATT did not increase significantly in isolated MCL deficiency ( P > .999). All 5 reconstructions restored native stability across the arc of flexion apart from the isolated long sMCL, which demonstrated residual ER instability ( P ≤ .047 vs other reconstructions)., Conclusion: All tested techniques apart from the isolated long sMCL graft are satisfactory in the context of restoring the valgus, ER, and AMRI stability to the MCL-deficient knee in a cadaveric model., Clinical Relevance: Contemporary MCL reconstruction techniques fail to control ER and therefore AMRI as they use a long sMCL graft and do not address the dMCL. This study compares 5 MCL reconstruction techniques. Both long and short isometric constructs other than the long sMCL achieved native stability in valgus and ER/AMRI. Double-strand reconstructions (sMCL + dMCL) tended to provide more stability. This study shows which reconstructions demonstrate the best biomechanical performance, informs surgical reconstruction techniques for AMRI, and questions the efficacy of current popular techniques., Competing Interests: One or more of the authors has declared the following potential conflict of interest or source of funding: This study was funded by a grant from Smith & Nephew paid to a research account of Imperial College London.

- Abstract
Purpose: The relationship between constitutional coronal alignment and implant positioning on trochlear groove restoration in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is poorly understood. This study aimed to determine whether the choice of alignment philosophy significantly affects the restoration of the trochlea groove., Methods: Sixty-one imageless robotic TKAs performed by a single orthopaedic surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. In each case, the entire native trochlea was digitized to generate the native femoral anatomy, and implants were planned according to a functional alignment (FA) technique. Final implant position was recorded using the validated bone resection planes from the navigation system. Simulated femoral component positions were generated according to previously described alignment techniques: mechanical alignment (MA), gap balancing (GB), kinematic alignment (KA), restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) and restricted inverse kinematic alignment (riKA). Trochlear angle (TA), trochlear under/overstuffing and mediolateral sulcus offset were compared between the six simulated alignment techniques, as well as the final implanted technique. Further analyses investigated the effect of preoperative coronal alignment on trochlear position. Comparisons were assessed with an analysis of variance and Welch's t-tests or Wilcoxon's rank-sum tests with Bonferroni corrections., Results: The implanted and simulated techniques all resulted in greater TA valgus compared to the native groove (p < 0.001). The implanted technique, KA and rKA were closer to the native TA than GB, MA and riKA (p > 0.001). All alignment philosophies understuffed the native trochlea groove. KA and rKA understuffed less than all other techniques (p < 0.001), and GB understuffed more than all other techniques (p < 0.001). In extension, all techniques shifted the trochlear sulcus laterally, while in flexion, they medialized it. These effects were most prominent in GB and MA., Conclusion: Personalized alignment techniques such as KA and rKA, which consider variations in individual anatomy, best restore the native patellar groove compared to systematic alignment techniques when using a standardized femoral component., Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective review., (© 2024 European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy.)

- Abstract
Background: Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a common condition characterised by persistent patellar tendon pain and dysfunction, particularly in athletes. Neovascularisation is frequently observed in the PT and is associated with increased pain. Ultrasound-guided electrocoagulation of neovascularisation has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative treatment for recalcitrant PT., Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided electrocoagulation of neovascularisation in athletes with persistent PT., Study Design: Case series; level of evidence, IV., Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed on 25 athletes who underwent ultrasound-guided electrocoagulation of neovascularisation for recalcitrant PT. Clinical outcomes including complications, reinterventions and patient-reported outcome measures were recorded. Comparisons between variables were assessed using χ
2 test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t-test or Wilcoxon test for quantitative variables., Results: 25 patients were included in the final analysis. 96% returned to their preoperative activity level at a mean of 3.8 months. At a mean follow-up of 5 years 4% did not receive significant benefit from electrocoagulation therapy. Significant improvements were observed in outcome measures, including the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment Questionnaire for Patients with Patellar Tendinopathy, Kujala score, modified Blazina score and Visual Analogue Scale for pain., Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided electrocoagulation of neovascularisation for persistent PT in elite athletes resulted in a low complication rate, a high rate and rapid return to sport and a significant improvement in outcome measures., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Introduction: A variety of techniques have been described for femoral fixation in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr). The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of the most used methods for graft fixation in the femur using human cadaveric tissue. We wondered what is the best fixation method for femoral fixation in MPFL reconstruction?, Hypothesis: A suspensory fixation device provides the best femoral fixation., Material and Method: Twenty cadaveric knees were tested. Four femoral fixation methods were compared (5 knees per group): interference fixation with a Biosure© RG 5 mm and a 7 mm, suture anchor (Healicoil Regenesorb 4.75 mm ©) and suspensory fixation with the Ultrabutton©. The testing was divided in preconditioning, cyclic loading and load to failure. Load to failure, elongation, stiffness and mode of failure were recorded and compared., Results: The Ultrabutton© had the highest mean ultimate load (427 ± 215 N (p = 0.5)), followed by Healicoil anchor © (308 ± 44 N (p > 0.05)) and the interference screw of 7 mm (255 ± 170 N (p > 0.05)). Mean stiffness was similar in the Ultrabutton© and 4.75 mm. Healicoil anchor © groups (111 ± 21 N/mm and 119 ± 20 N/mm respectively), and lowest in 7 mm Biosure© screw fixation group (90 ± 5 N/mm). The Biosure© 5 mm RG screw presented 100% of premature rupture because of tendon slippage. The Ultrabutton© presented the lowest premature rupture (40%)., Discussion: A suspensory fixation for the femur had the lowest number of graft failures and highest load to failure. This study has implications for surgeons' choice of graft fixation in MPFLr. It is the first study to test the most commonly femoral used fixation methods, allowing direct comparisons between each method., (© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.)

- Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to systematically review the literature and identify the surgical management strategy for fixed flexion contracture in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, pre-, intra-, and post-operatively. Secondary endpoints were etiologies and factors favoring flexion contracture., Materials and Methods: Searches were carried out in November 2023 in several databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) using the following keywords: "flexion contracture AND TKA", "fixed flexion deformity AND TKA", "posterior capsular release AND TKA", "posterior capsulotomy in TKA", "distal femoral resection AND TKA". Study quality was assessed using the STROBE checklist and the Downs and Black score. Data concerning factors or strategies leading to the development or prevention of flexion contracture after TKA were extracted from the text, figures, and tables of the included references. The effect of each predictive factor on flexion contracture after TKA was recorded., Results: Thirty-one studies were identified to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies described a variety of preoperative and intraoperative factors that contribute to the development or correction of postoperative flexion contracture. The only clearly identified predictor of postoperative flexion contracture was preoperative flexion contracture. Intraoperative steps described to correct flexion contracture were: soft-tissue balancing (in posterior and medial compartments), distal femoral resection, flexion of the femoral component, and posterior condylar resection. However, no study has investigated these factors in a global model., Discussion: This review identified various pre-, intra-, and post-operative factors predictive of post-operative flexion contracture. In practice, these factors are likely to interact, and it is therefore crucial to further investigate them in a comprehensive model to develop an algorithm for the management of flexion contracture., Level of Evidence: IV., (© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.)

- Abstract
Purpose: Few comparative studies assessed the current concept of individualised alignment for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and their outcomes at mid-term. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes at 1 year of primary TKA performed with a functional positioning technique based on an image-based robotic-assisted system, compared to conventional TKA performed with a restricted kinematic alignment technique., Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 100 primary TKAs performed with functional positioning principles using an image-based robotic-assisted system. A control group included 100 primary TKAs with the same posterior-stabilised implant as the robotic group but performed with manual instrumentation and restricted kinematic alignment technique. In the robotic group, the mean age was 69.2 years old ± 7.9; the mean body mass index was 29.7 kg/m
2 ± 4.6. The demographic characteristics were similar between both groups. Kujala score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Knee Society Score (KSS) knee and KSS function were collected 12 months postoperatively. Normally distributed continuous variables were compared using the Student t test. For non-normally distributed continuous variables, the Mann-Whitney test was used., Results: FJS was significantly higher in the robotic group (76.3 ± 13 vs. 68.6 ± 16.9 in the conventional group; p = 0.026). At a 1-year follow-up, there was no significant difference in the KSS knee and KSS function scores and the Kujala score between both groups. The mean KSS knee score was 90.8 ± 11.4 in the robotic group versus 89.4 ± 9.6 in the conventional group (p = 0.082). The mean KSS function score was 91.4 ± 12.3 versus 91.3 ± 12.6, respectively (p = 0.778)., Conclusion: Functional positioning principles using an image-based robotic-assisted system achieved a higher Forgotten Joint Score 1 year after TKA compared to restricted kinematic alignment. Personalised alignment and implant positioning are interesting paths to improve the functional outcomes after TKA., Level of Evidence: III., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: Adequate exposure is essential in revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) enhances exposure, but its use is controversial in the setting of periprosthetic infection. The purposes of this study were to determine (1) the rates of complications and revisions due to TTO during RTKA in the setting of a periprosthetic infection, (2) the rate of septic failure, and (3) functional outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up., Methods: A single-center retrospective study from 2010 to 2020 was performed. The cases of a total of 68 patients who received a TTO during RTKA in the setting of periprosthetic infection with a minimum follow-up of 2 years (mean, 53.3 months; range, 24 to 117 months) were analyzed. Complications and revisions due to TTO were reported. The functional outcomes were assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and range of motion., Results: Seven knees (10.3%) had complications secondary to the TTO (3 had fracture-displacement of the TTO; 2, nonunion; 1, delayed union; and 1, wound dehiscence). The mean time to union (and standard deviation) was 3.8 ± 3.2 months (range, 1.5 to 24 months). Two knees (2.9%) underwent a TTO-related revision (1 had wound debridement, and 1 had tibial tubercle osteosynthesis). Eighteen knees (26.5%) had recurrence of infection requiring revision: 17 were managed with debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR), and 1 had 2-stage RTKA. Flexion improved after surgery (from a mean of 70° to a mean of 86°; p = 0.009), as did the KSS knee (46.6 to 79; p < 0.001) and function (35.3 to 71.5; p < 0.001) subscores. Overall, 42.6% of infected knees managed with RTKA with the TTO procedure were considered successful without any complication at the last follow-up. Only 2 knees (2.9%) required revision related to the TTO., Conclusions: TTO in RTKA involving periprosthetic infection is an effective surgical exposure aid and has excellent rates of union (97.1%) despite the presence of infection. However, the risk of failure because of persistent or recurrent infection remains high in the first 2 years following RTKA for infection., Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV .

- Abstract
Aims: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) facilitates surgical exposure and protects the extensor mechanism during revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). The purpose of this study was to determine the rates of bony union, complications, and reoperations following TTO during rTKA, to assess the functional outcomes of rTKA with TTO at two years' minimum follow-up, and to identify the risk factors of failure., Methods: Between January 2010 and September 2020, 695 rTKAs were performed and data were entered into a prospective database. Inclusion criteria were rTKAs with concomitant TTO, without extensor mechanism allograft, and a minimum of two years' follow-up. A total of 135 rTKAs were included, with a mean age of 65 years (SD 9.0) and a mean BMI of 29.8 kg/m
2 (SD 5.7). The most frequent indications for revision were infection (50%; 68/135), aseptic loosening (25%; 34/135), and stiffness (13%; 18/135). Patients had standardized follow-up at six weeks, three months, six months, and annually thereafter. Complications and revisions were evaluated at the last follow-up. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and range of motion., Results: The mean follow-up was 51 months (SD 26; 24 to 121). Bony union was confirmed in 95% of patients (128/135) at a mean of 3.4 months (SD 2.7). The complication rate was 15% (20/135), consisting of nine tibial tubercle fracture displacements (6.7%), seven nonunions (5%), two delayed unions, one tibial fracture, and one wound dehiscence. Seven patients (5%) required eight revision procedures (6%): three bone grafts, three osteosyntheses, one extensor mechanism allograft, and one wound revision. The functional scores and flexion were significantly improved after surgery: mean KSS knee, 48.8 (SD 17) vs 79.6 (SD 20; p < 0.001); mean KSS function, 37.6 (SD 21) vs 70.2 (SD 30; p < 0.001); mean flexion, 81.5° (SD 33°) vs 93° (SD 29°; p = 0.004). Overall, 98% of patients (n = 132) had no extension deficit. The use of hinge implants was a significant risk factor for tibial tubercle fracture (p = 0.011)., Conclusion: TTO during rTKA was an efficient procedure to improve knee exposure with a high union rate, but had significant specific complications. Functional outcomes were improved at mid term., Competing Interests: N. Cance, C. Batailler, R. Canetti, and J. Shatrov declare that they have no conflict of interest. E.

- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the time from injury to ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and the rate as well as repairability of meniscal tears. Secondary aims were to evaluate the relationship between meniscal injury and Tegner Activity Scale, age, BMI, and gender., Methods: Between 2012 and 2022, 1,840 consecutive ACLRs were performed. A total of 1,317 ACLRs were included with a mean patient age of 31.2 years ± 10.5 [16-60]. Meniscal tear was assessed during arthroscopy using the ISAKOS classification. Time from injury to ACLR, Tegner Activity Scale, age, BMI and gender were analysed in uni- and then in multivariate analyses. Patients were divided into four groups according to the time from injury to surgery: < 3 months (427; 32%), 3-6 months (388; 29%), 6-12 months (248; 19%) and > 12 months (254; 19%)., Results: Delaying ACLR > 12 months significantly increased the rate of medial meniscal (MM) injury (OR 1.14; p < 0.001). No correlation was found between a 3- or 6-month time from injury to surgery and MM tear. Performing ACLR > 3, 6, or 12 months after injury did not significantly increase the rate of lateral meniscal (LM) injury. Increasing Tegner activity scale was significantly associated with a lower rate of MM injury (OR 0.90; p = 0.020). An age > 30 years (OR 1.07; p = 0.025) and male gender (OR 1.13; p < 0.0001) was also associated with an increased rate of MM injury. Age > 30 years decreased the rate of MM repair (OR 0.85; p < 0.001). Male gender increased the rate of LM tear (OR 1.10; p = 0.001)., Conclusion: Performing ACLR more than 12 months after injury was associated with increased rates of MM injury but not with lower rates of repairable lesions. An increased pre-injury Tegner activity score was associated with a decreased rate of MM tear. Age > 30 years was associated with an increased rate of MM tear with concomitant ACL injury and a decreased rate of repairability of MM tear. ACLR should be performed within 12 months from injury to prevent from the risk of MM injury., Level of Evidence: Level III., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between chondral injury and interval from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear to surgical reconstruction (ACLr)., Methods: Between January 2012 and January 2022, 1,840 consecutive ACLrs were performed and included in a single-centre retrospective cohort. Exclusion criteria were partial tears, multiligament knee injuries, prior ipsilateral knee surgery, concomitant unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or high tibial osteotomy, ACL agenesis, and unknown date of tear. A total of 1,317 patients were included in the final analysis, with a median age of 29 years (interquartile range (IQR) 23 to 38). The median preoperative Tegner Activity Score (TAS) was 6 (IQR 6 to 7). Patients were categorized into four groups according to the delay to ACLr: < three months (427; 32%), three to six months (388; 29%), > six to 12 months (248; 19%), and > 12 months (254; 19%). Chondral injury was assessed during arthroscopy using the International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Society classification, and its association with delay to ACLr was analyzed using multivariable analysis., Results: In the medial compartment, delaying ACLr for more than 12 months was associated with an increased rate (odds ratio (OR) 1.93 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27 to 2.95); p = 0.002) and severity (OR 1.23 (95% CI 1.08 to 1.40); p = 0.002) of chondral injuries, compared with < three months, with no association in patients aged > 50 years old. No association was found for shorter delays, but the overall dose-effect analysis was significant for the rate (p = 0.015) and severity (p = 0.026) of medial chondral injuries. Increased TAS was associated with a significantly reduced rate (OR 0.88 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.99); p = 0.036) and severity (OR 0.96 (95% CI 0.92 to 0.99); p = 0.017) of medial chondral injuries. In the lateral compartment, no association was found between delay and chondral injuries., Conclusion: Delay was associated with an increased rate and severity of medial chondral injuries in a dose-effect fashion, in particular for delays > 12 months. Younger patients seem to be at higher risk of chondral injury when delaying surgery. The timing of ACLr should be optimally reduced in this population., Competing Interests: None declared., (© 2023 The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery.)

- Abstract
Background: One issue in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is management of preoperative flexion contracture, which may be associated with poor functional outcome., Aim: The aim of this study was to compare functional results in TKA with or without preoperative flexion contracture, treated according to a standardized algorithm of tissue release and bone cut., Patients and Method: A single-center retrospective case-control study was performed on prospectively collected data for the period 1987-2016. Patients with >10̊ flexion contracture were assigned to the "contracture" group and associated to a selected control group at a ratio of 1:4. Clinical analysis used pre and post-operative International Knee Society (IKS) scores. The significance threshold was set at p<0.05., Results: Eight hundred and forty-nine cases and 3,304 controls were included, comprising a total of 2,838 male and 1,315 female participants. Mean preoperative extension deficit was 13̊±6̊ in the contracture group and 1̊±2̊ in controls. Preoperative IKS total and functional scores were significantly poorer in the contracture group (38±18 and 54±20) than in controls (52±16 and 59±19) (p<0.001). Postoperatively, the two groups did not significantly differ in IKS functional score (77±22 vs. 79±21, p=0.143). There were differences in IKS knee score (87±12 vs. 88±13, p=0.006) and maximal flexion (114̊±14̊ vs. 119̊±13̊, p<0.0001) that were statistically, but not clinically, significant., Discussion: A systematic standardized algorithm for surgical treatment of flexion contracture during primary total knee arthroplasty provided clinical outcomes similar to those of patients without preoperative flexion contracture., Level of Evidence: III; case-control study., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Background: Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) have demonstrated reduced risk of graft rerupture as compared with isolated ACLR. However, concerns remain that the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) may be increased by the addition of ALLR., Purpose/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of OA with isolated ACLR in comparison with ACLR + ALLR at medium-term follow-up. We hypothesized that there would be no differences between the groups., Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3., Methods: Patients who underwent ACLR + ALLR with hamstring tendon autograft between January 2011 and March 2012 were propensity matched to patients who underwent isolated ACLR with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) or hamstring tendon autograft in the same period. Medium-term radiographic evaluation was performed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) radiographic OA grading scale, modified Kellgren-Lawrence grade, and the surface fit method to assess percentage of joint space narrowing. Clinical outcomes were assessed with the following measures: IKDC, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm, Tegner, and ACL Return to Sport after Injury., Results: A total of 80 patients (42 ACLR + ALLR and 38 isolated ACLR) were analyzed with a mean follow-up of 104 months. There was no significant difference between groups for joint space narrowing in the medial or lateral tibiofemoral or lateral patellofemoral (PF) compartment. However, 36.8% in the isolated ACLR group versus 11.9% in the ACLR + ALLR group had narrowing of the medial PF compartment ( P = .0118). A lateral meniscal tear increased the risk of lateral tibiofemoral narrowing by nearly 5 times (odds ratio, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.547-19.367; P = .0123). The risk of medial PF narrowing was >4-fold with an isolated ACLR (odds ratio, 4.8; 95% CI, 1.44-19.05; P = .0179). Between the isolated ACLR group and the ACLR + ALLR group, the secondary meniscectomy rate was 13.2% versus 11.9% (not significantly different). There was no difference between groups in KOOS, Tegner, or IKDC scores. There was also no difference between groups for grades of osteoarthritic change for any classification system. Patients who received a BPTB graft had medial PF joint narrowing in 66.7% of cases as compared with 11.9% in those who received ACLR + ALLR ( P = 0.118)., Conclusion: ACLR + ALLR did not increase the risk of OA in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment when compared with an isolated ACLR at medium-term follow-up. Isolated ACLR using BPTB was associated with a significantly increased risk of medial PF joint space narrowing., Registration: NCT05123456 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

- Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of an image-based (MAKO) system using a gap-balancing technique with an imageless (OMNIbot) robotic tool utilising a femur-first measured resection technique., Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients undergoing primary TKA with a functional alignment philosophy performed by a single surgeon using either the MAKO or OMNIbot robotic systems. In all cases, the surgeon's goal was to create a balanced knee and correct sagittal deformity (eliminate any fixed flexion deformity). Intra-operative data and patient-reported outcomes (PROMS) were compared., Results: A total of 207 MAKO TKA and 298 OMNIbot TKAs were analysed. MAKO TKA patients were younger (67 vs 69, p=0.002) than OMNIbot patients. There were no other demographic or pre-operative alignment differences. Regarding implant positioning, in MAKO TKAs the femoral component was more externally rotated in relation to the posterior condylar axis (2.3° vs 0.1°, p<0.001), had less valgus femoral cuts (1.6° vs 2.7° valgus, p<0.001) and more varus tibial cuts (2.4° vs 1.9° varus, p<0.001), and had more bone resected compared to OMNIbot TKAs. OMNIbot cases were more likely to require tibial re-cuts than MAKO (15% vs 2%, p<0.001). There were no differences in femur recut rates, soft tissue releases, or rate of achieving target coronal and sagittal leg alignment between robotic systems. A subgroup analysis of 100 MAKO and 100 OMNIbot propensity-matched TKAs with 12-month follow-up showed no significant difference in OKS (42 vs 43, p=0.7) or OKS PASS scores (83% vs 91%, p=0.1). MAKO TKAs reported significantly better symptoms according to their KOOS symptoms score than patients that had OMNIbot TKAs (87 vs 82, p=0.02) with a higher proportion of KOOS PASS rates, at a slightly longer follow-up time (20 months vs 14 months, p<0.001). There were no other differences in PROMS., Conclusion: A gap-balanced technique with an image-based robotic system (MAKO) results in different implant positioning and bone resection and reduces tibial recuts compared to a femur-first measured resection technique with an imageless robotic system (OMNIbot). Both systems achieve equal coronal and sagittal deformity correction and good patient outcomes at short-term follow-ups irrespective of these differences., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Literature regarding outcomes in patients over 80 years old after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is inconsistent. We aimed to compare implant survivorship and functional outcomes between elderly patients (≥ 80 years) and younger patients (< 80 years) following TKA, using a single modern posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthetic design., Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 80 patients over 80 years old who underwent TKA between January 2015 and December 2016, who were compared with younger patients (60-75 years old) operated during the same period. Patients were matched with a ratio of 1:3 based on logistic regression analysis of gender and body mass index. All patients received the same cemented PS prosthesis with a fixed bearing polyethylene insert, with or without patellar resurfacing. Implant survival and patient-reported outcome measurements were compared between the two groups. At last follow-up, data were available for 41 knees in the elderly group (including 17 patients who died before 5-year follow-up) and 123 knees in the younger group., Results: Functional results were better at final follow-up in the group < 80 years with a significantly higher Knee Society Function Subscore (88.6 ± 16.9 vs 79.4 ± 22.1, p < 0.01), but no significant differences in Knee Subscore and global Knee Society Score (p > 0.05), nor regarding maximum flexion (121° ± 12 and 117° ± 13, p = 0.08). The implant survivorship was 100.0% after a mean 64.4-month follow-up (range 60-78), without revision requiring removal of the implant in any group. The survival rate without any reoperation was 97.6% (95% CI 93.0-100.0) in the elderly group and 95.9% (95% CI 92.5-99.5) in the younger group (p = 0.64)., Conclusion: At a minimum of 5-year follow-up, there was no revision surgery and a very low rate of complications requiring reoperations both in the group over 80 years of age and in the younger population, with the use of a PS prosthesis. The functional results were slightly lower for elderly patients and correlate with the lower functional demands of this population. The indication for TKA, especially with a PS implant, may be encouraged in appropriately selected elderly patients., Level of Evidence: III (retrospective cohort study)., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency can be a consequence or a cause of femoro-tibial osteoarthritis (OA). Several studies have published satisfactory outcomes of unicompartimental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and combined ACL reconstruction despite its absence classically being considered a contraindication. A major challenge in the ACL deficient knee is obtaining appropriate gap balancing and limb axis. Robotically assisted UKA allows for precise control of these factors; however, it's utilisation as a tool with combined ACL reconstruction and UKA has not been described. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of robotically assisted UKA with combined ACL reconstruction., Methods: This was a retrospective single-centre study of ten patients operated by a single surgeon from 2016 to 2020. All surgery was performed using a cemented fixed bearing UKA prosthesis (Journey uni, Smith and Nephew®) (8 medial, 2 lateral) inserted with the assistance of an image-free robotic-assisted system (BlueBelt, Navio, Smith and Nephew®). All ACL reconstructions were performed using hamstring autograft. Clinical assessment included International Knee Score (IKS) score, Tegner score and patient satisfaction. Radiological assessment was performed to assess radiolucent lines, progression of OA in the other compartments, Hip-Knee-Ankle angle and Posterior Tibial Slope., Results: There were eight females (80%), mean age was 57 ± 7 [48-70], mean BMI was 26 ± 3 [22-31]. The mean follow-up was 45 months ± 13 months [24-66]. Mean post-operative IKS knee and function score were respectively 96 ± 4.5 [88-100] and 93 ± 8.2 [74-100], mean Tegner score was 4.5 ± 1.4 [3-6]. Nine patients (90%) returned to sport; one patient (10%) was dissatisfied because of residual pain preventing a return to a desired level of sport. 100% of the radiological objectives were achieved. No radiolucent lines were seen at the last follow-up. There were two re-operations (20%) for stiffness requiring arthroscopic arthrolysis at two and three months respectively following surgery, with full recovery of the flexion at the last follow-up in both cases. No other complications were observed., Conclusion: Robotic UKA associated with ACL reconstruction provides satisfactory early patient outcomes and accurate implant positioning. The first results in terms of return to sports were promising., (© 2022. The Author(s) under exclusive licence to SICOT aisbl.)

- Abstract
Background: Failure rates of repaired bucket-handle medial meniscal tears (BHMMTs) concomitant with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are as high as 20%. The outcomes of posteromedial portal suture hook repair have not been compared with all-inside repair techniques for this subtype of meniscal lesion., Purpose/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and failure rates of patients who underwent BHMMT repair concomitant with ACLR using an all-inside technique, suture hook + all-inside technique, or suture hook + outside-in technique. It was hypothesized that no significant differences in failure rates would be found between the groups., Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3., Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients diagnosed with a BHMMT who underwent meniscal repair during primary ACLR and had a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Patients were grouped based on the meniscal repair technique used: all-inside repair, suture hook + all-inside repair, or suture hook + outside-in repair. At the end of the study period, secondary medial meniscectomy rates were determined., Results: The study population comprised 253 patients who underwent repair of a BHMMT with concomitant ACLR with a mean follow-up of 94.0 ± 47.6 months. A total of 114 patients (45.1%) underwent all-inside repair, 61 patients (24.1%) underwent suture hook + all-inside repair, and 78 patients (30.8%) underwent suture hook + outside-in repair. Overall, there were 36 failures. The failure rates were 20.2%, 14.8%, and 5.1%, respectively ( P = .0135). All-inside repairs were >4 times more likely to fail than suture hook + outside-in repairs (hazard ratio [HR], 4.103; 95% CI, 1.369-12.296; P = .0117). Failure was also 3 times higher (HR, 2.943; 95% CI, 1.224-7.075; P = .0159) for patients <30 years of age compared with those aged ≥30 years. An additional anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) was also found to reduce the failure rate of repaired BHMMTs concomitant with ACLR., Conclusion: Combined suture hook + outside-in repair of BHMMTs resulted in significantly fewer failures than all other techniques. Furthermore, age <30 years and no additional ALLR were associated with higher failure rates.

- Abstract
Purpose: To report the long-term clinical outcomes after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) to treat recurrent patellar instability., Methods: This was a single-center study of patients undergoing an isolated MPFLr between 2000 and 2011. All patients underwent reconstruction using hamstring autograft. The inclusion criteria were a minimum 10-year follow-up period and skeletally mature patients with more than 1 episode of patellar dislocation who underwent MPFLr without an associated bony procedure., Results: A total of 54 knees were available for final analysis. The mean follow-up period was 12.3 years (range, 10-14 year). The mean age at surgery was 25 years. No patients had patellofemoral arthritis (PFA) prior to surgery. Preoperatively, the mean Caton-Deschamps index was 1.1 and the mean tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance was 14.9 ± 2 mm (range, 7-17 mm). All patients had trochlear dysplasia according to the Dejour classification. At final follow-up, the mean Kujala score was 82.9 ± 15.3; mean International Knee Documentation Committee score, 78.3 ± 18.5; and mean Tegner score, 4.0 ± 1.7. Patients with an unsatisfactory outcome as determined by a Kujala score lower than 80 had a higher Caton-Deschamps index preoperatively and were more likely to be female patients; however, neither factor reached significance. Of the patients, 33 (66%) had no radiographic evidence of PFA whereas 15 (30%) had Iwano stage 1 and 2 had Iwano stage 2 (4%). At final follow-up, 4 patients (7.4%) had recurrent instability requiring revision surgery., Conclusions: Isolated MPFLr with gracilis tendon autograft in appropriately selected patients is an effective long-term treatment for recurrent patellofemoral instability with low rates of recurrence. One-third of patients exhibit radiographic evidence of PFA more than 10 years after isolated MPFLr., Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series., (Copyright © 2022 Arthroscopy Association of North America.

- Abstract
Introduction: Robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is an emerging surgical tool. The purpose of this study was to analyze the length of time taken to perform the key steps of a RA-TKA for a surgeon and centre new to the MAKO robotic system., Method: This was a prospective cohort study of the first 50 patients undergoing TKA using a robotic platform (Mako, Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) performed by a single surgeon. Each key surgical step was recorded. The first 50 patients were chronologically allocated into five groups of ten and compared., Results: Mean operation length was 59.4 ± 7.4 min with significant improvement after 30 cases. A significant effect on certain steps of the surgery also occurred over 50 cases: after 30 cases for pre-operative planning (3.8 min in group 1 versus 1.2 min in group 4, p < 0.005), ten cases for registration time (5.2 min in group 1 versus 3.8 in group 2, p = 0.039) and ten cases for tibial cutting time (1.6 min in group 1 versus 1.3 in group 2, p < 0.005). Nurse setup, femur cutting, and intraoperative planning did not demonstrate a significant improvement in time over 50 cases., Conclusion: A significant decrease in total operating length occurred after the 30th case. Anatomical registration and tibial cutting time demonstrated the largest improvements. MAKO image-based robotically assisted TKA is not a time-intensive intervention for both the surgeon and scrub nursing staff, and significant improvements in total surgical time occurs early in the learning phase., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Purpose: Image-based robotic tools improve the accuracy of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) positioning, but few studies have examined its effect on axial alignment. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of tibial and femoral implant positioning, mainly the tibial rotation, during medial or lateral UKA, performed with an image-based robotic assisted system., Methods: A total of 71 UKA performed between September 2021 and June 2022 (53 medial and 18 lateral) were analyzed. All data regarding implant positioning (rotation, coronal and sagittal alignment) for tibial and femoral components were obtained using MAKO® software (Stryker®, Mahwah, USA) intra-operatively., Results: The lateral UKA had a mean internal tibial rotation of 15.4 ± 3°, a mean external femoral rotation of 0.96 ± 2.4°, and a mean tibial slope of 4.7 ± 1.3°. The medial UKA had a mean internal tibial rotation of 0.18 ± 2.7°, a mean internal femoral rotation of 0.35 ± 2.2°, and a mean tibial slope of 5.4 ± 1.3°. The tibial rotations, femoral valgus, tibial varus and tibial size significantly differed between medial and lateral UKA (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in femoral rotation, flexion, femoral size, slope, and polyethylene thickness between medial and lateral UKA., Conclusion: Medial and lateral UKA had significantly different implantation characteristics related to the biomechanics of the knee compartments. Image-based robotic UKA allowed precise femorotibial positioning per-operatively to match native kinematic alignment., (© 2022. The Author(s) under exclusive licence to SICOT aisbl.)

- Abstract
Aims: The use of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to delay total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in young patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and constitutional deformity remains debated. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of TKA after HTO compared to TKA without HTO, using the time from the index OA surgery as reference (HTO for the study group, TKA for the control group)., Methods: This was a case-control study of consecutive patients receiving a posterior-stabilized TKA for OA between 1996 and 2010 with previous HTO. A total of 73 TKAs after HTO with minimum ten years' follow-up were included. Cases were matched with a TKA without previous HTO for age at the time of the HTO. All revisions were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed using revision of metal component as the endpoint. The Knee Society Score, range of motion, and patient satisfaction were assessed., Results: Mean follow-up was 13 years (SD 3) after TKA in both groups. The 20-year Kaplan-Meier survival estimate was 98.6% in TKA post-HTO group (HTO as timing reference) and 81.4% in control group (TKA as timing reference) (p = 0.030). There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes, and complications at the last follow-up., Conclusion: At the same delay from index surgery (HTO or TKA), a strategy of HTO followed by TKA had superior knee survivorship compared to early TKA at long term in young patients.Level of evidence: IIICite this article: Bone Jt Open 2023;4(2):62-71.

- Abstract
Purpose: The ability of kinematic alignment (KA) to consistently restore trochlea anatomy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is unknown despite recreation of constitutional anatomy being its rationale for use. The purpose of this study was to assess if alignment choice in TKA effects the ability to restore the native trochlea groove., Methods: One hundred and twenty-two consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted TKA using the MAKO image-based robotic platform had simulated femoral components placed according to kinematic, mechanical and functional alignment principals. Implant position and trochlea restoration between groups were compared. Restoration was assessed by shift (medial-lateral) and depth relative to the native groove from three consistent points; full extension (0°), mid-flexion (30°-40°) and deep flexion (70°-80°)., Results: Three hundred and sixty-six alignment options were analysed. Femoral alignment was significantly different between groups. Of KA, 13.1% compared to 3.3% of FA plans were outside safe coronal boundaries. The trochlear groove was translated the most by MA compared to KA and FA (full extension, MA 7.84 ± 1.99 mm lateral to the native groove, KA 6.40 ± 2.43 mm and FA 6.88 ± 1.74 mm, p ≤ 0.001). In full extension, FA most closely restored the trochlear groove depth in all three positions of flexion., Conclusion: Alignment philosophy led to significant differences in trochlea groove recreation. A kinematically placed femoral component led to positioning considered unsafe in over 13% of cases. A functionally placed femoral component most closely restored trochlea depth in all three positions of flexion., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Functional alignment (FA) is a novel philosophy to deliver a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that respects individual bony and soft tissue phenotypes within defined limitations. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rationale and technique of FA in the valgus morphotype with the use of an image-based robotic-platform. For the valgus phenotype the principles are personalized pre-operative planning, reconstitution of native coronal alignment without residual varus or valgus of more than 3°, restoration of dynamic sagittal alignment within 5° of neutral, implant sizing to match anatomy, and achievement of defined soft tissue laxity in extension and flexion through implant manipulation within the defined boundaries. An individualized plan is created from pre-operative imaging. Next, a reproducible and quantifiable assessment of soft tissue laxity is performed in extension and flexion. Implant positioning is then manipulated in all three planes if necessary to achieve target gap measurements and a final limb position within a defined coronal and sagittal range. FA is a novel TKA technique that aims to restore constitutional bony alignment and balance the laxity of the soft tissues by placing and sizing implants in a manner that respects variations in individual anatomy and soft tissues within defined limits.

- Abstract
Introduction: Nitride-based ceramic coating was introduced into surgical implants to improve hardness, reduce abrasion, and decrease the risk of metal-induced adverse reactions, especially for patients with suspected or identified metal hypersensitivity. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a titanium nitride (TiN) coated prosthesis with a mobile bearing design., Methods: This was a retrospective matched-cohort study from a single center, comparing clinical outcomes between patients receiving either a TiN-coated versus an uncoated cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) prostheses for primary total knee replacement. Seventeen patients received the TiN prosthesis between 2015 and 2019. These were matched 1:2 with patients receiving uncoated mobile-bearing knee prostheses with the same design manufacturer., Results: Fourteen patients in the TiN group had complete 5-year follow-up data and were compared with 34 patients from the CoCrMo group. The Knee Society Score was 170.6 ± 28.0 (Function subscore 83.7 ± 17.5 and Knee subscore 86.9 ± 13.8) in the TiN group and 180.7 ± 49.4 (Function subscore 87.5 ± 14.3 and Knee subscore 93.2 ± 9.6) in CoCrMo group, with no statistically significant difference (p = 0.19). One patient underwent a revision for instability requiring the removal of the implant in the TiN group and none in the CoCrMo group. The survival rates were 92.9% (CI95% 77.3-100.0) and 100.0% in the TiN group and CoCrMo group respectively (p = 1.0)., Discussion: TiN-coated TKA with mobile bearing resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes, and a low revision rate, and there was no complication related to the coated implant. The use of TiN-coated prostheses in case of confirmed or suspected metal allergy provides satisfactory short-term clinic outcomes., (© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.)

- Abstract
Background: While good mid-term results for treating spontaneous knee osteonecrosis (SPONK) with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) have been reported, concerns remain about implant survival at long-term. This study aimed to compare outcomes and survivorship of UKA for SPONK vs osteoarthritis at a minimum of 10 years., Methods: This case-control study included medial UKA for femoral SPONK operated between 1996 and 2010 with a minimum 10-year follow-up (n = 47). Each case was matched with a medial UKA for osteoarthritis based on body mass index (BMI), gender, and age. Knee Society Score (KSS), complications and radiological (loosening) data were collected at the last follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed using revision implant removal as endpoint., Results: The mean follow-up was 13.2 years (range 10 to 21 years). Mean age and BMI were 72.9 ± 8.4 years and 25.5 ± 3.6 Kg/m
2 in SPONK group. At last follow-up, knee and function KSS were 89.5 ± 12 and 79 ± 18 in SPONK group vs 90 ± 15 (P = .85) and 81.7 ± 17 (P = .47) in control group. Complications and radiological results showed no significant differences. The survival rate free from any revision was 85.1% at last follow-up in SPONK group and 93.6% in control group (P = .23). The leading cause for revision was aseptic tibial loosening (57.1%) in SPONK group. The 15-year survival estimate was 83% in SPONK group., Conclusion: Satisfactory clinical outcomes at long-term after UKA for femoral SPONK were observed, similar to those after UKA for osteoarthritis, despite a higher risk of tibial loosening in the SPONK group. No symptomatic femoral loosening leading to a revision was observed., Level of Evidence: IV., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)- Published

- Abstract
Purpose: Evidence is emerging that tibio-femoral compartmental balancing is related to clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to assess if kinematic alignment (KA) delivered a balanced knee in flexion and extension after TKA on varus deformity, compared to functional alignment (FA)., Methods: This single-centre retrospective cohort study assessed 110 consecutive TKAs performed with an image-based robotic system for pre-operative varus deformity. The ligament balancing in the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments was assessed intra-operatively with a robotic system to evaluate if a KA plan would deliver a balanced knee. Balance was considered achieved if tibio-femoral compartments (medial/lateral) were equal to or less than 1.5 mm, or if the estimated final gap position more than 2 mm from the global implant thickness (17 mm). Implant positioning was modified within limits previously defined for a FA philosophy to achieve balancing. Resection thickness and implant positioning were compared with the KA plan and after the FA adjustments; and also, between the patients with a final balanced knee in extension and at 90° of flexion., Results: A total of 102 patients were eligible for final analysis. Mean age was 67.3 ± 8.2 years, average BMI was 29.1 ± 5.2 kg/m
2 , mean pre-operative coronal alignment was 174.0° ± 3.3° and sagittal alignment 3.4° ± 5.9°. Mean post-operative coronal alignment was 177.7° ± 1.0° and sagittal alignment 0.8° ± 1.9°. A KA plan delivered medial-lateral tibio-femoral compartment balancing in 67 cases (65.7%) for the extension gap and in 50 cases (49.1%) for the flexion gap. All measured bone resection depths were significantly less for FA compared to KA. To achieve balancing targets, final femoral component position was more externally rotated relative to the posterior condylar axis, (0.5° with KA compared to 1.7° with FA (p < 0.0001), and the tibia in more varus (3.0° KA vs. 3.5° FA p = 0.0024). Only one soft tissue release was required., Conclusion: KA failed to deliver a balanced TKA in more than 50% of cases, especially regarding the flexion gap. Consideration of soft tissue laxity led to significantly less bone resection, with more externally rotated femoral component and more varus tibial component., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Incorrect acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been associated with poor outcomes. Computer-assisted hip arthroplasty increases accuracy and consistency of cup positioning compared to conventional methods. Traditional navigation units have been associated with problems such as bulkiness of equipment and reproducibility of anatomical landmarks, particularly in obese patients or the lateral position. Purpose : We sought to evaluate the accuracy of a novel miniature inertial measurement system, the Navbit Sprint navigation device (Navbit, Sydney, Australia), to navigate acetabular component positioning in both the supine and lateral decubitus positions. We also aimed to validate a new method of patient registration that does not require acquisition of anatomical landmarks for navigation. Methods : We performed THA in a cadaveric study in supine and lateral positions using Navbit navigation to record cup position and compared mean scores from 3 Navbit devices for each cup position on post-implantation CT scans. Results : A total of 11 cups (5 supine and 6 lateral) were available for comparison. A difference of 2.34° in the supine direct anterior approach when assessing acetabular version was deemed to be statistically but not clinically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between CT and navigation measurements of cup position in the lateral position. Conclusion : This cadaveric study suggests that a novel inertial-based navigation tool is accurate for cup positioning in THA in the supine and lateral positions. Furthermore, it validates a novel registration method that does not require the identification of anatomical landmarks., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting Interests: The author(s) declared the following potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: Daniel Marsden-Jones, B Eng (Mech), and Matt Lyons, MBBS, FRACS, report stock or stock options with Navbit, the manufacturer of the device used in this study.

- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare clinical and radiological results between kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) with a posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a post-cam mechanism at a minimum follow-up of 3 years. The authors hypothesized a higher risk of aseptic loosening when performing KA using PS TKA., Methods: A retrospective monocentric single surgeon case control study was performed comparing 100 matched patients who had TKA performed using a MA philosophy to 50 patients receiving TKA with a KA technique between January 2016 and October 2017. All patients had the same knee prosthesis (GMK primary posterior-stabilized, Medacta
® , Switzerland). Patient specific cutting blocks were used in both groups and a restricted KA (rKA) was aimed in the KA group. A hybrid cementation technique was performed. The new Knee Society Score (KSS) and radiological assessment were collected preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Comparisons between groups were done with the T test or Fisher exact test. Global survival curves were estimated with Kaplan-Meier model. Significance was set at p < 0.05., Results: Mean follow-up was 42.9 months ± 3.6 (range 37.6-46.7) and 53.3 months ± 4.1 (range 45.5-59.8) for rKA and MA groups. Postoperatively, no significant differences were found for clinical scores between both groups. Radiological assessment found similar postoperative Hip-Knee-Ankle angle for rKA and MA groups (178° versus 179° respectively, NS). At last follow-up, a significant higher survivorship was found for the MA group compared to the rKA group (97 versus 84%; p < 0.001) for aseptic loosening revision as the endpoint., Conclusion: An increased risk of tibial implant loosening was found with rKA compared to MA using a posterior-stabilized TKA with a post-cam system at short-term follow-up. Caution should be taken when choosing the TKA design while performing rKA., Level of Evidence: Retrospective case-control study, Level IV., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to describe outcomes of patients who had undergone medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) to treat patellofemoral instability (PFI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA)., Material and Methods: This is a retrospective case series of consecutive patients treated for PFI after TKA. Patients were included if they had radiographic documentation of patella dislocation or subluxation and component position was adequate. MPFLr was performed using a quadriceps tendon autograft. The graft was fixed with either an interference or additional suspensory fixation. A tibial tubercle osteotomy was performed in select indications. Patients were assessed with Kujala and International Knee Score (IKS) at a minimum 12-month follow-up and radiographically with plain radiographs., Results: A total of 22 patients (23 procedures) were included. The mean follow-up period was 38 months (range 12-72). Average preoperative femoral component rotation on computed tomography was 0.10° external rotation (range 3° internal rotation to 3° external rotation). All patients had improved clinical and radiographic outcomes postoperatively. At the last follow-up, the mean IKS knee score was 77.6 ± 13.1, mean IKS function score was 75.2 ± 23.3, and mean Kujala score was 60.2/100 ± 10.9. There was 1 mechanical failure, which occurred following MPFLr with interference fixation. There were 6 complications (28.1%) postoperatively. Patients receiving double fixation of the MPFLr graft had higher clinical and radiographic scores; however, this difference was not statistically significant. MPFLr had a patella-lowering effect, 0.97 preoperatively to 0.74 postoperatively ( P = .069)., Conclusion: MPFLr in appropriately selected patients is a satisfactory option to treat PFI following TKA., (© 2022 The Authors.)

- Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as the study of algorithms that allow machines to reason and perform cognitive functions such as problem-solving, objects, images, word recognition, and decision-making. This study aimed to review the published articles and the comprehensive clinical relevance of AI-based tools used before, during, and after knee arthroplasty., Methods: The search was conducted through PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE databases from 2000 to 2021 using the 2009 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol (PRISMA)., Results: A total of 731 potential articles were reviewed, and 132 were included based on the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Some steps of the knee arthroplasty procedure were assisted and improved by using AI-based tools. Before surgery, machine learning was used to aid surgeons in optimizing decision-making. During surgery, the robotic-assisted systems improved the accuracy of knee alignment, implant positioning, and ligamentous balance. After surgery, remote patient monitoring platforms helped to capture patients' functional data., Conclusion: In knee arthroplasty, the AI-based tools improve the decision-making process, surgical planning, accuracy, and repeatability of surgical procedures., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Purpose: Prosthesis design influences stability in total knee arthroplasty and may affect maximum knee flexion. Posterior-stabilised (PS) and condylar-stabilised (CS) designed prosthesis do not require a posterior-cruciate ligament to provide stability. The aim of the current study was to compare the range of motion (ROM) and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using either a PS or CS design prosthesis., Methods: A total of 167 consecutive primary TKAs with a CS bearing (mobile deep-dish polyethylene) were retrospectively identified and compared to 332 primary TKA with a PS constraint, with similar design components from the same manufacturer. Passive ROM was assessed at last follow-up with use of a handheld goniometer. Clinical scores were assessed using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs); International Knee Society (IKS) knee and function scores and satisfaction score. Radiographic assessment was performed pre and post operatively consisting of mechanical femorotibial angle (mFTA), femoral and tibial mechanical angles measured medially (FMA and TMA, respectively) on long leg radiographs, tibial slope and patella height as measured by the Blackburne-Peel index (BPI)., Results: Both groups had a mean follow-up of 3 years (range 2-3.7 years). Mean post-operative maximum knee flexion was 117° ± 4.9° in the PS group and 119° ± 5.2° in the CS group (p = 0.29). Postoperative IKS scores were significantly improved in both groups compared to preoperative scores (p < 0.01). The mean IKS score in the PS group was 170.9 ± 24.1 compared to 170.3 ± 22.5 in the CS group (p = 0.3). Both groups had similar radiographic outcomes as determined by coronal and sagittal alignment, tibial slope and posterior condylar offset ratio measurements. When considering the size of tibial slope change and posterior-condylar offset ratio, there was no differences between groups (p = 0.4 and 0.59 respectively). The PS group had more interventions for post-operative stiffness (arthrolysis or manipulation under anaesthesia) 8 (2.7%) compared to 1 (0.6%) in the CS group (p = 0.17)., Conclusion: Condylar-stabilised TKA have similar patient outcomes and ROM at a mean follow-up of 3 years compared to PS TKA. Highly congruent inserts could be used without compromising results in TKA at short term., Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case control study., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Shatrov J, Colas A, Fournier G, Batailler C, Servien E, and Lustig S
- Abstract
Introduction: Patella instability post total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) has not been well described for this indication. This paper describes a surgical technique to address the unique challenges faced when performing TTO and MPFLr in the prosthetic knee., Technique: This technique and video describe a TTO and MPFLr via an extensile incision and medial sub-vastus approach. A 6 cm long TTO is performed, if indicated, to medialise the extensor mechanism up to 1 cm and fixed with ×2 4.5 mm cortical screws. For the MPFLr, a quadriceps tendon autograft is utilized, with the natural insertion to the superior pole of the patella being left undisturbed. The graft is first attached with an interference screw and then reinforced with an endobutton to provide crucial cortical fixation to overcome the problem of low bone mineral density encountered in this area of the femur following TKA., Results: Five patients underwent MPFLr using the described technique. No failures or recurrence of instability occurred at the last follow-up. Pre-operative mean patella tilt and shift were 44° and 3.5 cm, respectively. Post-operatively, mean tilt and shift were 4.1° and 0.4 cm, respectively. There was one wound dehiscence requiring surgical debridement and closure., Conclusion: This paper describes a surgical technique to perform a TTO and MPFLr for patella instability post-TKA. The described method highlights key adaptations to address the unique challenges in this patient population., (© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2022.)
