Predicting individual knee range of motion, knee pain, and walking limitation outcomes following total knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose - Up to 20% of patients are dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), mainly because of pain and restricted physical function. We developed a prediction model for 6-month knee range of motion, knee pain, and walking limitations in patients undergoing TKA surgery. Patients and methods - We performed a prospective cohort study of 4,026 patients who underwent elective, primary TKA between July 2013 and July 2017. Candidate predictors included demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and preoperative outcome measures. The outcomes of interest were (i) knee extension and flexion range of motion, (ii) knee pain rated on a 5-point ordinal scale, and (iii) self-reported maximum walk time at 6 months post TKA. For each outcome, we fitted a multivariable proportional odds regression model with bootstrap internal validation. Results - At 6 months post TKA, around 5% to 20% of patients had a flexion contracture ³ 10°, range of motion

Project description:BackgroundAfter total knee arthroplasty (TKA), patients have limited knee range of motion (ROM), trophic changes and pain. Cryotherapy and compression are recommended in the literature, but no study has shown that cryotherapy and compression combined leads to better results than cryotherapy alone. The primary objective was to compare knee ROM after 21 days of rehabilitation post-TKA between patients who underwent rehabilitation with compressive cryotherapy with those who had cryotherapy alone. The secondary objectives were to compare other trophic, pain and functional outcomes.MethodsForty patients were randomized into two groups: Standard Cryotherapy (SC = 20, median age 77 years), which applied cold packs along with their rehabilitation; and Compressive Cryotherapy (CC = 20, median age 76 years), which received cold compression. Knee joint's passive and active ROM (primary outcome) were measured with a goniometer. Knee's circumference, fluctuation test, pain at rest and during activity, 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and KOOS questionnaire were secondary outcomes. The groups were compared on D1 (baseline) and D21 of rehabilitation. A survival analysis has compared the groups on D1, D8, D15, D21.ResultsAll subjects had a significant improvement in all the parameters on D21 relative to D1 (p < .05), except for pain at rest (p = .065 for CC and p = .052 for SC). On D21, the CC group had a significantly larger improvement in the joint effusion (p = .002), pain during activity (p = .005), 6MWT (p = .018) and KOOS (p = .004) than the SC group. Based on the survival analysis, the CC group had significantly faster improvement in the joint ROM (p = .011 for flexion and p = .038 for extension) and knee circumference (p = .013) than the SC group.ConclusionsBoth cryotherapy methods improved joint ROM, trophic changes, pain and function. Adding dynamic compression to a cryotherapy protocol provided further benefits: a significantly faster improvement in passive knee flexion ROM, a greater reduction of swelling, and pain during activity. Similarly, walking distance and KOOS questionnaire were significantly better for CC.Trials registrationThe study was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov database on 14/09/2023 (identifier: NCT06037824).

Project description:PurposeThe aim of this systematic review was to investigate the clinical and functional knee outcomes after Verasense sensor-assisted total knee arthroplasty (VA TKA), and to compare these outcomes, where possible, with those from manually balanced total knee arthroplasty (MB TKA).MethodsA systematic literature search following PRISMA guidelines was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Medline and Scopus from the beginning of January 2012 until the end of June 2022, to identify potentially relevant articles for this review. Selection was based on the following inclusion criteria: full text English- or German-language clinical studies, published in peer-reviewed journals, which assessed clinical and functional outcomes following VA TKA. Not original research, preprints, abstract-only papers, protocols, reviews, expert opinion papers, book chapters, surgical technique papers, and studies pertaining only to unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) or patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) were excluded. Several scores (Knee Society Score [KSS], Oxford Knee Score [OKS], Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC], Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-4 subscales [KOOS4] and Physical Function-Computerised Adaptive Testing [PF-CAT]), alongside postoperative measurements of range of motion [ROM], reoperation rates and the rate of manipulation under anaesthesia [MUA]) were used to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes. The quality of included papers, except randomised control trials (RCTs), was evaluated using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS). For the assessment of included RCTs, the Jadad Scale was used.ResultsThe literature search identified 243 articles. After removing duplicates, 184 papers were included in the initial screening process. Fourteen of them met all the inclusion criteria following the selection process. Mean MINORS for non-comparative studies value was 11.5 (11-12), and for comparative studies 18.2 (13-21). Mean Jadad Scale score was 3.6 (2-5). Outcomes from a total number of 3633 patients were evaluated (mean age at surgery 68.5 years [32-88 years]). In terms of clinical outcomes, the overwhelming majority of studies observed an improvement after VA TKA, but no statistically significant difference in ROM and reoperation rate when compared to MB TKA. On the other hand, lower rates of MUA have been described in the VA TKA group. An increase in postoperative clinical and functional scores values, when compared to the preoperative ones, has been reported in both groups, although no statistically significant difference between them has been observed.ConclusionThe use of Verasense pressure sensors in TKA leads to no significant improvement in ROM, reoperation rate or functional outcomes, when compared to the standard manually balancing technique. However, lower rates of MUA have been described in the VA TKA group. These findings highlight the importance of tools being able to measure ligament stresses or joint pressure for achieving an optimally balanced knee.Level of evidenceIII.
