- 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,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.…
