A1 - Rudert, Maximilian T1 - Influence of mechanical alignment on functional knee phenotypes and clinical outcomes in primary TKA: a 1-year prospective analysis JF - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), functional knee phenotypes are of interest regarding surgical alignment strategies. Functional knee phenotypes were introduced in 2019 and consist of limb, femoral, and tibial phenotypes. The hypothesis of this study was that mechanically aligned (MA) TKA changes preoperative functional phenotypes, which decreases the 1-year Forgotten Joint (FJS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and increases the 1-year WOMAC. All patients included in this study had end-stage osteoarthritis and were treated with a primary MA TKA, which was supervised by four academic knee arthroplasty specialists. To determine the limb, femoral, and tibial phenotype, a long-leg radiograph (LLR) was imaged preoperatively and two to three days after TKA. FJS, OKS, and WOMAC were obtained 1 year after TKA. Patients were categorized using the change in functional limb, femoral, and tibial phenotype measured on LLR, and the scores were compared between the different categories. A complete dataset of preoperative and postoperative scores and radiographic images could be obtained for 59 patients. 42% of these patients had a change of limb phenotype, 41% a change of femoral phenotype, and 24% a change of tibial phenotype of more than ±1 relative to the preoperative phenotype. Patients with more than ±1 change of limb phenotype had significantly lower median FJS (27 points) and OKS (31 points) and higher WOMAC scores (30 points) relative to the 59-, 41-, and 4-point scores of those with a 0 ± 1 change (p < 0.0001 to 0.0048). Patients with a more than ±1 change of femoral phenotype had significantly lower median FJS (28 points) and OKS (32 points) and higher WOMAC scores (24 points) relative to the 69-, 40-, and 8-point scores of those with a 0 ± 1 change (p < 0.0001). A change in tibial phenotype had no effect on the FJS, OKS, and WOMAC scores. Surgeons performing MA TKA could consider limiting coronal alignment corrections of the limb and femoral joint line to within one phenotype to reduce the risk of low patient-reported satisfaction and function at 1-year.

At the same time, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has gained interest for intraoperative control and accuracy in implant positioning and limb alignment. Despite the often discussed benefits and drawbacks of robotics and navigation for TKA, the routine use of these new devices on a day-to-day basis remains obscure. Therefore, nationwide hospital billing data based on the Operation Procedure Classification System (OPS) were retrieved from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany for the period from 2010 to 2021. OPS codes for primary total knee arthroplasty (OPS code: 5-822*) were further analyzed regarding the usage of computer navigation (additional OPS code: 5-988) or robotic devices (additional OPS code: 5-987). Gender and age at the time of surgery were also assessed. The results show a total of 2,226,559 primary TKAs were implanted between 2010 and 2021, of which 2,044,914 were performed conventionally (91.84% of all TKAs). A total of 170,276 TKAs were performed using navigation technique (7.65% of all TKAs) and another 11,369 TKAs were performed using robotics (0.51% of all TKAs). For the period from 2018 to 2021, a substantial increase in robot-assisted TKA (R-TKA) was observed, with an average increase rate of 84.74% per year, while the number of navigated TKAs declined (−3.67% per year). Computer-assisted surgery, and particularly robotics for TKA, are seeing growing popularity and stepwise translation into routine clinical use in Germany, with a steep increase rate of more than 80% per year since 2018. Nevertheless, the majority of TKAs are still performed using manual instrumentation, rendering conventional TKA the currently unchanged gold standard.

Alle Patienten wurden nach postoperativen Rezidivluxationen befragt und die Schulterfunktion wurde mittels standardisiertem und validiertem Fragebogen durch den „Constant Score“ und den „Oxford Shoulder Instability Score“ untersucht. Ziel der Studie war es, den von Balg und Boileau 2007 vorgestellten „Instability Severity Index Score“ (ISIS) auf seine Aussagekraft hin am vorliegenden Kollektiv zu überprüfen. Zeitgleich sollten ein Vergleich der offenen mit den arthroskopischen Stabilisierungen sowie eine Analyse der Ursachen der Rezidivluxationen erfolgen. Insgesamt kam es in acht Fällen zu Rezidivluxationen (3,6 %). Die offen Operierten wiesen eine Rate von 3,1 %, die Gruppe der arthroskopisch Operierten 8,7 % Rezidive auf. Patienten mit weniger oder gleich sechs Punkten im ISIS hatten in 2,7 % Reluxationen, Patienten mit mehr als sechs Punkten in 8,1 %. Patienten, die rückblickend gemäß der Empfehlung aus dem ISIS operiert wurden, hatten in 5,3 % Rezidivluxationen. Patienten, die entgegen der Empfehlung operiert wurden, in 3,5 %. Alle Unterschiede waren statistisch nicht signifikant. In allen Gruppen konnten in den funktionellen Scores sehr gute Ergebnisse mit durchschnittlich über 87 % im alters- und geschlechtsadaptierten Constant Score und über 42 Punkten im Oxford Shoulder Instability Score ohne signifikante Unterschiede erzielt werden. Von den insgesamt acht Patienten mit Reluxationen lagen von zwei Patienten CT-Untersuchungen nach aufgetretener Reluxation vor. In beiden Fällen konnten signifikante Glenoidranddefekte gefunden werden. Aus Sicht der erhobenen Daten und der erzielten Ergebnisse ist der ISIS als nützlich zur präoperativen Risikobewertung sowie zur Entscheidung über das operative Vorgehen einzuschätzen, wobei er keine imperative Handlungsanweisung darstellen sollte. Die Empfehlung zum Korakoidtransfer nach Latarjet ab sieben Punkten im ISIS kann anhand dieser Daten nicht bestätigt werden. Vielmehr konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine offene Bankart-Operation mit selektivem Kapselshift sehr gute Langzeitergebnisse bezüglich der Reluxationsraten und der funktionellen Ergebnisse liefert. Im Hinblick auf die erzielten Ergebnisse und Fehleranalysen ist weiterhin festzuhalten, dass bei Verdacht auf einen Glenoiddefekt in der Regel eine CT mit 3D-Rekonstruktion und Seiten-vergleich erfolgen sollte, um die Indikation zum offenen Knochenblocktransfer nicht zu verpassen. Offene und arthroskopische Stabilisierungen können bei richtiger Indikationsstellung kurz- und mittelfristig vergleichbar gute Ergebnisse liefern. Langfristig aber scheint das minimal-invasive Vorgehen höhere Raten an Rezidivluxationen aufzuweisen. Wie auch in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden konnte, ist ein langer Beobachtungszeitraum bei Studien, die das klinische Ergebnis von Schulterstabilisierungen untersuchen, sehr wichtig, um das wahre Ausmaß an postoperativen Rezidivinstabilitäten zu erfassen. N2 - This study encompasses 220 patients for whom the „Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS)“ was retrospectively calculated from available pre-operative documents. All 220 patients underwent surgery due to traumatic anterior shoulder instability in the period 1988 till 2007 in the König-Ludwig-Haus clinic in Würzburg, Germany, by the same surgeon (F. Gohlke), using either open surgery or the arthroscopic (modified) Bankart procedure. For this study, all patients were contacted and evaluated by asking them if there had been any events of re-dislocation and by assessing their “Constant Score” and the „Oxford Shoulder Instability Score“ using standardized and validated questionnaires. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of the „Instability Severity Index Score“ (ISIS), introduced in 2007 by Balg and Boileau, with respect to this study’s population. At the same time, a comparison between the outcomes of the open and the arthroscopic stabilizations and an analysis of the reasons for re-dislocations were envisioned. In total, there were eight cases of re-dislocations (3.6 %). Patients who had undergone open surgery showed a recurrence rate of 3.1 %, while the rate for patients who had been operated on arthroscopically was 8.7 %. 2.7% of patients with an ISIS score of six points or less reported re-dislocations, while 8.1% of patients achieving more than six points in the ISIS score had a re-dislocation. Patients treated in accordance to the retrospective indication of the ISIS showed a recurrence rate of 5.3 %, while patients who had been treated contrary to the retrospective indication showed a rate of 3.5 %. All differences were, however, statistically insignificant. All groups showed very good results concerning the functional shoulder scores by achieving an average of over 87 % in the age- and gender-modified Constant Score and over 42 points in the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score without significant differences. CT scans were available for two of the eight patients reporting re-dislocations and in both cases significant bone loss in the anterior glenoid rim could be detected. In light of the collected data and the achieved results, the ISIS can be considered useful for preoperative risk evaluation and for choosing the operative procedure. Taken in isolation, however, it should not be considered conclusive. The recommendation of coracoid transfer in the Latarjet procedure for patients achieving seven points or more in the ISIS cannot be confirmed by this study. It could, however, be shown that performing an open Bankart procedure with a selective capsular shift leads to very good long-term results regarding the rate of re-dislocations and the functional outcome. With respect to the acquired results and the error analysis, it is recommended that CT scans with 3D reconstruction and left-right comparisons are carried out if bone loss of the glenoid rim is suspected in order not to miss an indication for open bone block repair. In the short- and medium term, both open and arthroscopic stabilization can lead to similarly good results given the correct indication, whereas the arthroscopic procedure seems to lead to a higher rate of recurrent instability in the long term. As this study was able to show, long-term follow up is essential for studies that investigate the clinical results after shoulder stabilization in order to reveal the true rate of recurrent instability.
