Ten-year patient-reported outcomes following total and minimally invasive unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a propensity score-matched cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:For patients with medial compartment arthritis who have failed non-operative treatment, either a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) can be undertaken. This analysis considers how the choice between UKA and TKA affects long-term patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS:The Knee Arthroplasty Trial (KAT) and a cohort of patients who received a minimally invasive UKA provided data. Propensity score matching was used to identify comparable patients. Oxford Knee Score (OKS), its pain and function components, and the EuroQol 5 Domain (EQ-5D) index, estimated on the basis of OKS responses, were then compared over 10 years following surgery. Mixed-effects regressions for repeated measures were used to estimate the effect of patient characteristics and type of surgery on PROMs. RESULTS:Five-hundred and ninety UKAs were matched to the same number of TKAs. Receiving UKA rather than TKA was found to be associated with better scores for OKS, including both its pain and function components, and EQ-5D, with the differences expected to grow over time. UKA was also associated with an increased likelihood of patients achieving a successful outcome, with an increased chance of attaining minimally clinically important improvements in both OKS and EQ-5D, and an 'excellent' OKS. In addition, for both procedures, patients aged between 60 and 70 and better pre-operative scores were associated with better post-operative outcomes. CONCLUSION:Minimally invasive UKAs performed on patients with the appropriate indications led to better patient-reported pain and function scores than TKAs performed on comparable patients. UKA can lead to better long-term quality of life than TKA and this should be considered alongside risk of revision when choosing between the procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:II.

Project description:PurposeLower limb alignment is crucial in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Previous studies have shown that robotics and personalized three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning could improve postoperative alignment accuracy compared with conventional TKA, but comparison between the above two techniques has never been reported. The authors hypothesized that robotics may be superior to personalized 3D preoperative planning in terms of postoperative alignment in primary TKA, with similar patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) but higher cost and longer operative time.MethodsA consecutive series of patients who received TKA in our center from September 2020 to January 2021 were enrolled retrospectively. After 1:2 matching, 52 and 104 patients were included and divided into study group for robotics and control group for personalized 3D preoperative planning, respectively. Multiple postoperative alignment angles were measured, and clinical features such as operation and tourniquet time, length of hospital stay and hemoglobin (Hb) were recorded. Knee Society Score (KSS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were used to evaluate clinical results.ResultsCompared with control group, robotics group had significantly lower frontal femoral component angle (FFC) and frontal tibial component angle (FTC) absolute deviation (P < 0.05). It also had less outliers in hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), FTC, lateral femoral component angle (LFC) and lateral tibial component angle (LTC) (P < 0.05). Hb loss of robotics group was significantly lower than control group (P < 0.001), while the operation and tourniquet time were longer (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in KSS and WOMAC scores between two groups.ConclusionCompared with control group, patients in robotics group had significantly less malalignment, malposition, Hb loss, but similar PROMs. The operations in robotics group spent longer operation time and cost more compared with control group.Trial registrationThe Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2000036235.

Project description:ObjectiveTo explore the outcome and surgical technique of minimally invasive unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee.MethodsTwenty-seven patients with medial compartmental spontaneous osteonecrosis treated by minimally invasive Oxford phase 3 UKA from January 2009 to June 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Twelve subjects were men and 15 women, with an average age of 64.6 ± 8.6 years (52-82 years). At the time of diagnosis, 11 patients had with grade III necrosis and 16 grade IV according to Mont's classification. Pain, range of motion (ROM) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee scores were evaluated before and after UKA. Pre-and postoperative alignment of the lower limbs was measured and compared. Postoperative radiographic assessments were made according to the guidelines proposed by the Oxford group at the final follow-up.ResultsAll patients were followed for a mean time of 27.8 ± 15.9 months (6-59 months). There were no serious adverse events, such as infection, bearing dislocation, aseptic loosening, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, cardio-cerebral vascular incident or psychological problems. One revision was required for unrelated causes (fracture of tibia plateau) 3 years after arthroplasty. One femoral component was tilted with a postoperative radiographic angle >10°. One radiolucent line was observed in a patient with spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee. The two patients with implant failure had no symptoms at last follow-up. Visual analogue scale scores decreased from 6.9 ± 0.9 to 2.0 ± 1.1 (t = 19.27, P = 0.00). Pain was relieved in 96.3% of subjects (26/27). The mean post-operative ROM and femorotibial angle were 125.7° ± 9.6° and 177.7° ± 3.1°, respectively. HSS scores increased from 61.3 ± 9.7 to 93.0 ± 4.8 (t = 14.46, P = 0.00). Of the 27 patients, 26 (96.3%) were satisfied with the outcome of this surgical procedure.ConclusionMinimally invasive UKA is an effective means of managing spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee. The short-term outcome of UKA is encouraging.
