Total Knee Arthroplasty in Extra-Articular Knee Deformity Patients: A Review of the Surgical Techniques, Surgical Instruments and Prosthetic Designs
نویسنده
چکیده
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard procedure for the end-stage destructive arthropathy of the knee. TKA can relieve pain and restore knee function. The post-operative mechanical axis should be within a +/-3 degree of a neutral mechanical axis to ensure a good long-term result and maximize the longevity of TKA. Performing TKA in patients with ipsilateral extra-articular deformity is very challenging. Anatomy distortion, canal sclerosis, retained hardware and prior surgery in this patient group will increase the risk of prosthesis malposition and malalignment of the lower extremity, which may hinder the outcome and survival of TKA. Intra-articular correction technique is suitable when the coronal plane deformity less than 20 degree for femur and less than 30 degree for tibia. If intra-articular correction technique cannot correct the deformity, then extra-articular correction technique is indicate. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) will be a good assistant by ignoring the anatomical distortion of patients. Well-planned preoperative planning combined with an appropriate surgical technique, proper surgical instruments and wisely chosen prosthesis design will reduce the risk of complications and thus maximize the outcome and longevity of TKA in patients with extra-articular deformity.

Navigation-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty for Patients with Extra-Articular Deformity
PURPOSE Since the existence of an extra-articular deformity seriously alters the normal geometry and kinetics around the knee joint, difficulties are often encountered in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a standard surgical technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of surgical navigation system as a treatment option for osteoarthritic knees with extra-articular defo...
متن کاملTotal knee arthroplasty in patients with extra-articular deformity
Multiple acceptable options are available for the correction of distal femoral deformity associated with knee arthritis. The treatment modality should be chosen based on the extent of deformity and attention to preservation of the collateral ligaments. Surgical options range from osteotomy alone, arthroplasty with intra-articular correction, or arthroplasty with extra-articular correction. Diff...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis (OA) patients with extra-articular deformity is still challenging because angular deformity, canal sclerosis, or the retained hardware that precludes the use of the traditional intramedullary guide. In addition, atypical bone cut for intra-articular correction leads to imbalanced soft tissue gap. Furthermore, corrective osteotomy should be consid...
