Project description:Purpose:High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure performed on patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Computer assisted navigated high tibial osteotomy (CAN-HTO) may result in improved outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure. Methods:Retrospective study involving patients undergoing CAN-HTO. Results:Surveyed thirty-three patients. Average follow-up: 2.3 years. 97% patients reported they would have this procedure performed again, if indicated. Re-operation rate: 6.1% and complication rate: 12.1%. Patients had decreased KOOS for symptoms when compared to non-navigation based HTO (p?=?0.000). Conclusion:There may be merit with the use of CAN-HTO, with demonstrated patient-reported benefits at 2-year follow-up.

Project description:PurposeOpen-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a common surgical treatment for medial osteoarthritis in young and active patients. The accuracy of osteotomy is closely associated with postoperative efficacy. The accuracy of digital preoperative planning is higher than that of the preoperative manual measurement and several computer software with varying accuracy and convenience are used for digital preoperative planning. This study aimed to use the SolidWorks software for HTO preoperative planning and to determine its accuracy and reliability in HTO preoperative planning.MethodsWe reviewed the data of 28 patients with 54 with medial compartment knee arthritis who underwent open-wedge HTO preoperative planning using SolidWorks between June 2019 and March 2021. The standard anteroposterior standing whole-leg radiographs were assessed before and 6 weeks after the surgery. The correction angle, weight-bearing line (WBL) ratio, mechanical femorotibial angle (mFTA), and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) before and after the surgery were compared. The clinical results were evaluated using the Knee Society score.ResultsAt 6 weeks after the surgery, the WBL ratio was corrected from 16.8% to 50.5%, mFTA was corrected from 6.4° varus to 1.2° valgus, and MPTA was corrected from 83.4° to 89.3°. No significant difference was observed between the predicted correction angle before the surgery and the correction angle measured 6 weeks after the surgery (t = -1.745, p = 0.087). The knee score and function score of Knee Society increased from 76.4 and 80.7 before surgery to 95.0 and 95.7, respectively.ConclusionsThe SolidWorks software showed high accuracy and reliability in preoperative planning of open-wedge HTO in patients with medial compartment knee arthritis.

Project description:Purpose:To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes, complications, hospitalization time, and readmission rate related to day-case opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with intraosseous PEEK (polyether ether ketone) implant, in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Methods:An observational study on patients treated with OWHTO using intraosseous PEEK implant was performed with a period of 12 months follow-up. Grade of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was assessed preoperatively, at 6 months, and at 12 months postoperatively. A simple t test was used to analyze the outcomes. P values <.05 were considered significant. Complications and revision surgeries were registered. Results:In the period from 2016 to 2017, a consecutive group of 40 patients (13 female, 27 male) with symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis and varus malalignment were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 54.9 (± 7.6) years. In total, 30 (77%) patients met the criterion for minimal clinically important difference in KOOS scores. The KOOS symptoms improved from 58.1 ± 20 to 78.5 ± 16.5 (P < .0001), pain from 48.1 ± 18.2 to 78.6 ± 18.5 (P < .0001), activities of daily living from 59.0 ± 19.5 to 84.1 ± 15.2 (P < .0001), sport from 23.2 ± 17.6 to 55.6 ± 26.3 (P < .0001), and quality of life from 28.4 ± 12.8 to 61.5 ± 22.5 (P < .0001) at 1-year follow-up. The average hospitalization time at the Day Surgery Unit was 5.6 ± 0.7 hours, and 4 (10%) patients had to be readmitted to the hospital within 2 weeks postoperatively. The overall complication rate was 18%. Complications that required revision surgery were registered in 4 patients (10%), including 2 non-unions and 2 progressions of osteoarthritis. Conclusions:The day-case OWHTO with intraosseous PEEK implant was a success in 77% of the cases. The results and complications were comparable with other published studies. Despite a short hospitalization time, the readmission rate was low. Level of Evidence:IV, therapeutic case series.

Project description:Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is considered to be an effective surgical intervention for medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis. However, patella infra, which has been reported to be a result of tuberosity distalization after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy, changes the native patellofemoral biomechanics. This could raise abnormal patellofemoral contact stresses, which might be the trigger of patellofemoral arthrosis. To minimize the reduction in patellar height, we have developed a technique called open-wedge distal tuberosity tibial osteotomy. The benefits of this technique include increased bone-to-bone contact of the distal tuberosity cut surface after correction by cutting an arc osteotomy around the hinge position, which is the center of rotation. This technique also provides cortical support at the anterior osteotomy site without additional bone defect and, therefore, may be advantageous against weight-bearing stress on the osteotomy site. In all, open-wedge distal tuberosity tibial osteotomy could potentially be a unique open-wedge osteotomy that eliminates the risk for postoperative patellofemoral osteoarthritis and also could theoretically encourage rapid healing of the osteotomy, which could lead to early return to full physical activity.

Project description:Varus knee malalignment caused by medial compartment arthritis results in progressive asymmetric wear of the tibiofemoral joint. This wear can cause progressively painful gonarthrosis. Surgical methods to address varus knee malalignment include lateral closing-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, medial opening-wedge osteotomy, and arthroplasty. Medial opening-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy is an effective procedure for restoring proper coronal alignment and reducing knee pain. In this technical note, we present a reproducible technique for proximal tibial osteotomy.

Project description:BackgroundDespite favourable outcomes relatively few surgeons offer high tibial osteotomy (HTO) as a treatment option for early knee osteoarthritis, mainly due to the difficulty of achieving planned correction and reported soft tissue irritation around the plate used to stablise the osteotomy. To compare the mechanical safety of a new personalised 3D printed high tibial osteotomy (HTO) device, created to overcome these issues, with an existing generic device, a case-control in silico virtual clinical trial was conducted.MethodsTwenty-eight knee osteoarthritis patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning to create a virtual cohort; the cohort was duplicated to form two arms, Generic and Personalised, on which virtual HTO was performed. Finite element analysis was performed to calculate the stresses in the plates arising from simulated physiological activities at three healing stages. The odds ratio indicative of the relative risk of fatigue failure of the HTO plates between the personalised and generic arms was obtained from a multi-level logistic model.ResultsHere we show, at 12 weeks post-surgery, the odds ratio indicative of the relative risk of fatigue failure was 0.14 (95%CI 0.01 to 2.73, p = 0.20).ConclusionsThis novel (to the best of our knowledge) in silico trial, comparing the mechanical safety of a new personalised 3D printed high tibial osteotomy device with an existing generic device, shows that there is no increased risk of failure for the new personalised design compared to the existing generic commonly used device. Personalised high tibial osteotomy can overcome the main technical barriers for this type of surgery, our findings support the case for using this technology for treating early knee osteoarthritis.

Project description:PURPOSE:Although rotation of the distal portion of the tibia below the osteotomy site is considered an inevitable change in the axial plane in open wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO), several studies on this issue have shown contradictory results. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to determine the direction and amount of distal tibial rotation following open wedge HTO using a three-dimensional reconstructed model. METHODS:This study involved 41 patients (42 knees) undergoing open wedge HTO for primary medial osteoarthritis. Distal tibial rotation was measured on the overlaid tibial plateau of a preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional reconstructed model based on computed tomography. RESULTS:The mean distal tibial external rotation was 2.7° ± 2.3° (range, -0.9° to 9.9°), and the opening gap was larger in the group with > 3° distal tibial rotation than in the group with ? 3° distal tibial rotation (11.4 mm vs. 9.6 mm, P = 0.027). Multiple regression analysis showed that the opening gap was the only predictor of distal tibial rotation. On receiver operating characteristics analysis, an opening gap of 10 mm was found to be the optimal cutoff value for achieving greater than 3° of distal tibial rotation. CONCLUSIONS:Following medial opening wedge HTO, the distal tibial portion below the osteotomy site rotated approximately 3° externally. The magnitude of the external rotation of the distal tibia was affected by the opening gap width.

Project description:Patellofemoral arthritis that is due to patellofemoral instability or chronic patellofemoral maltracking can be a difficult treatment problem. Isolated patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is a good option that preserves bone and can more accurately reproduce native kinematics when compared with total knee arthroplasty. Newer PFA designs have demonstrated improved survivorship, although survivorship has not shown equivalence with total knee replacement. It has been postulated that improving patellar tracking could potentially improve overall outcomes and survivorship for PFA. It follows then that optimizing patellar tracking in patients with patellofemoral malalignment by adding a tibial tubercle osteotomy to a PFA may improve the ultimate outcome of the procedure. The objective of this technical note is to describe our preferred method for the treatment of patients with chronic patellofemoral lateral tracking and end-stage arthritis.

Project description:Genu varus malalignment can lead to medial compartment overload and progression of ipsilateral compartment osteoarthritis. To slow this process, a medial opening wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) can be performed. This type of PTO is indicated in patients with genu varus malalignment and isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, prior to or concurrent with medial compartment cartilage procedures or meniscal transplants, chronic posterolateral corner deficiency, or chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. When treating ligamentous instability, a PTO can be performed in isolation, with simultaneous ligament reconstruction, or as a staged procedure with the osteotomy first, followed by ligament reconstruction if instability persists. Failure to address malalignment in cases of concurrent ligament reconstruction leads to increased stress on the graft and potential graft failure. One distinct advantage of this procedure is the ability to correct deformities in the sagittal and coronal planes. The purpose of this article was to describe our technique used to perform a medial opening wedge PTO.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough in many studies, the relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) and Vitamin D deficiency was shown, no research has been performed on the role of vitamin D in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism.MethodsThis was a case-control study in Endocrinology clinic of Jahrom (south of Iran). The patients with Hashimoto (n = 633) and non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism (n = 305), along with a control group (n = 200) were evaluated. 25(OH) D level, T3 and T4 levels were studied and Anti TPO and Anti TG tests were performed. The results of vitamin D level were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS in terms of the cause of hypothyroidism (immune and non-immune).ResultsThe results of the study showed a significantly lower level of vitamin D in both immune and non-immune Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) in comparison to healthy controls (P < 0.05). We observed a significant inverse correlation between the vitamin D and TGAb level (p = 0.001, r = - 0.261) and a direct correlation of vitamin D with TSH level (p = 0.008, r = 0.108) in Hashimoto thyroiditis patients.ConclusionFinally, the results indicated that non-autoimmune hypothyroidism, as well as HT, is associated with vitamin D deficiency. The role of vitamin D deficiency in Hashimoto thyroiditis was thought to be in the association of higher autoantibody (TGAb) level; while, there should be further studies determining vitamin D deficiency's role in non-immune hypothyroidism.
