K-wire transfixation or distraction following the Keller-Brandes arthroplasty in Hallux rigidus and Hallux valgus?

ABSTRACT: A total of 118 feet with Hallux valgus and Hallux rigidus treated by the Keller-Brandes method were re-examined clinically and radiologically after 9.1 years (range: 1.7-24.3). Correction of the Hallux valgus angle was obtained from an average of 40 degrees to 23 degrees in the Hallux valgus group. Improvement in the postoperative range of motion was observed when the aftertreatment consisted of Kirschner-wire distraction instead of an axial Kirschner-wire transfixation. The patients who underwent Keller-Brandes surgery for Hallux valgus had less pain when the aftertreatment was carried out using an axial Kirschner wire, while those operated on for Hallux rigidus had less pain when the aftertreatment consisted of distraction. The percentage of satisfied or very satisfied patients with the cosmetic results of the Keller-Brandes arthroplasty was more than 66.7%. Patients with Hallux valgus and postoperative aftertreatment with Kirschner wire transfixation were the most satisfied patients, while patients with Hallux rigidus were very satisfied with the postoperative distraction. Our good results are comparable to those in other studies and confirm the success of the Keller-Brandes resection arthroplasty in Hallux valgus with osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in older patients whose demand for movement is less, and in Hallux rigidus in less active older patients.

Minimum distraction gap: how much ankle joint space is enough in ankle distraction arthroplasty?

Project description:BackgroundThe success of ankle distraction arthroplasty relies on the separation of the tibiotalar articular surfaces.Question/purposeThe purpose of this study was to find the minimum distraction gap needed to ensure that the tibiotalar joint surfaces would not contact each other with full weight-bearing while under distraction.MethodsCircular external fixators were mounted to nine cadaver ankle specimens. Each specimen was then placed into a custom-designed load chamber. Loads of 0, 350, and 700N were applied to the specimen. Radiographic joint space was measured and joint contact pressure was monitored under each load. The external fixator was then sequentially distracted, and the radiographic joint space was measured under the three different loads. The experiment was stopped when there was no joint contact under 700N of load. The radiographic joint space was measured and the initial (undistracted) radiographic joint space was subtracted from it yielding the distraction gap. The minimum distraction gap (mDG) that would provide total unloading was calculated.ResultsThe average mDG was 2.4 mm (range, 1.6 to 4.0 mm) at 700N of load, 4.4 mm (range, 3.7 to 5.8 mm) at 350N of load, and 4.9 mm (range, 3.7 to 7.0 mm) at 0N of load.ConclusionThese results suggest that if the radiographic joint space of on a standing X-ray of an ankle undergoing distraction arthroplasty shows a minimum of 5.8 mm of DG, then there will be no contact between joint surfaces during full weight-bearing. Therefore, 5 mm of radiographic joint space, as recommended historically, may not be adequate to prevent contact of the articular surfaces during weight-bearing.

Posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty for valgus osteoarthritis.

Project description:UNLABELLED: The valgus, osteoarthritic knee is challenging technically and it is unknown whether and how technical and implant variables influence outcomes. We therefore determined the influence of surgical technique of soft tissue balancing and patient and implant factors from 100 unselected cruciate-retaining TKAs for valgus osteoarthritis in patients younger than 75 years of age. From 1987 to 1990, lateral soft tissue balancing was done with an outside-in progression in which the lateral collateral ligament and popliteus were typically released from the femur. From 1991 to 1994, an inside-out technique was use in which the lateral collateral ligament and/or popliteus were typically preserved. The minimum followup was 0.1 year (mean, 8.2 years; range, 0.1-18.2 years). Fourteen of 16 revisions were for wear and/or instability. Popliteus release, lateral collateral ligament release, or greater polyethylene shelf age increased the risk of revision. At 10 postoperative years, survival (end point, revision) was 89% (100 knees), 94% when the shelf age was less than 1 year (n = 73 knees), 97% when the popliteus or lateral collateral ligament was not released (n = 57 knees), and 100% when both conditions were met (n = 39 knees). Cruciate-retaining implants can be successfully used in knees with any degree of valgus osteoarthritis and survival is improved when the surgeon preserves at least one of the structures providing lateral stability in flexion and uses polyethylene with a short shelf life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Keblish's lateral surgical approach enhances patellar tilt in valgus knee arthroplasty.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of conventional medial and lateral approaches for total knee replacement in the valgus osteoarthritic knee. METHODS:In this randomized controlled trial, 21 patients with valgus knee osteoarthritis were randomized to total knee replacement through medial or lateral approach. The primary outcome was radiographic patellar tilt. Secondary outcomes were visual analog scale of pain, postoperative levels of hemoglobin, and clinical aspect of the operative wound. RESULTS:There were no differences between the groups regarding other clinical variables. Mean lateral tilt of the patella was 3.1 degrees (SD ± 5.3) in the lateral approach group and 18 degrees (SD ± 10.2) in the medial approach group (p = 0.02). There were no differences regarding the secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION:Lateral approach provided better patellar tilt following total knee replacement in valgus osteoarthritic knee.

Preoperative Valgus Alignment Does Not Predict Inferior Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:Background:Preoperative valgus deformity is present in an estimated 10-20% of patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR). Questions/Purposes:The objective of this study was to compare the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores after TKR in a matched cohort of patients with preoperative valgus and varus deformities. Methods:This is a matched cohort study of 162 patients with varus native knees and 162 patients with valgus native knees who underwent TKR and were prospectively followed in our institutional registry. Patients matched were based on age, BMI, sex, and severity of preoperative knee deformity, which was classified as mild, moderate, severe varus or valgus, or no deformity. Outcomes were evaluated using the WOMAC preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Results:No significant difference was found between the matched varus and valgus cohorts in all WOMAC subdomain scores except for a marginally worse stiffness at 1 year in patients with valgus deformity (WOMAC stiffness, 75.1 varus vs. 70.1 valgus; P = 0.049). This is below the minimal clinically important difference for WOMAC scores. There was no significant difference in postoperative varus/valgus alignment between the two groups (P = 0.092). Conclusion:We found no clinically significant difference in any of the WOMAC domains in patients with preoperative varus deformity versus valgus deformity within the first year after TKR. These findings may allow surgeons to more appropriately counsel patients with osteoarthritis with valgus deformity that they can expect similar outcomes compared to patients with varus deformity.

Preoperative radiographic valgus alignment predicts the extent of lateral soft tissue release and need for constraint in valgus total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:Background:In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for valgus knees, the decision to use a constrained implant is often made intraoperatively depending on the extent of soft tissue releases performed and residual soft tissue imbalance. The purpose of this study is to determine if preoperative radiographic criteria of valgus knees can predict the extent of soft tissue releases required and the level of constraint needed to balance the knee during TKA. Methods:A single surgeon's 807 consecutive TKA standing hip-knee-ankle radiographs from 2007-2012 were analyzed. One hundred eighty-seven valgus knees were identified and annotated. Statistical univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for both outcomes, lateral release and articulation, to assess the association with risk factors of gender, age, and preoperative radiographic markers of valgus deformity. A P-value <.05 represented a significant difference between groups. Results:Use of a constrained articulation was associated with increased valgus deformity (mechanical hip-knee-ankle angle, P < .0001) and extent of lateral soft tissue release (P < .0001). No relationship existed between the use of a constrained articulation and age or gender (P > .05). A preoperative anatomic tibiofemoral valgus angle of >16.8° was associated with the use of a constrained articulation during surgery. Conclusions:Our data demonstrate that preoperative radiographic characteristics of the valgus knee can be utilized to predict the extent of lateral soft tissue release and whether a constrained articulation will be required in TKA. This will provide surgeons with useful information to offer accurate preoperative counseling to patients and to ensure that the appropriate prosthetic parts are available during surgery.

Intra-abdominal migration of a k-wire during revision total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of severe acetabular bone loss is a challenging problem that is becoming more common. Kirschner wires are often used during acetabular revision for temporary fixation of trial components. We describe an intraoperative migration of a Kirschner wire through the acetabulum into the peritoneal cavity, requiring acute laparoscopic removal.

Distraction Implantation. A New Technique in Total Joint Arthroplasty and Direct Skeletal Attachment.

Project description:Background:Using the marrow canal of a tubular bone as a holding compartment for implant stems has been the paradigm in total joint arthroplasty for more than a century, and for direct skeletal attachment of limb prostheses for about forty years. Both interventions rely on the osteogenesis in the inner walls of the marrow canal in a direction radially inwards. It so remains despite the frequent aseptic loosening of the implant stems caused by the resorption of the marrow canal's inner walls which increases the canal's diameter and reduces its capacity to hold the implant. Materials and Methods:To improve the bone-device bond, we suggest an implantation methodology that activates positive osteogenic remodeling in the circular direction rather than radially inwards. The rationale is that circular osteogenesis is a component of natural healing of bone fractures and its activating may mitigate the consequences of resorption caused by stress shielding, bone developmental growth and other factors. Results:Circular osteogenesis occurs in response to the distraction of slots precut into the bone tube. We call this methodology distraction implantation (DI) because of its debt to Ilizarov type distraction osteogenesis (DO). The methodology is accompanied by a design of an implant stem, and has been investigated in a previous pilot animal study. Conclusion:Distraction implantation is based on a component of natural healing of bone fractures and therefore has merit to be investigated further.

Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty Can Increase Frequency of Achieving Target Limb Alignment in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty for Preoperative Valgus Deformity.

Project description:BackgroundRobotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) has been shown to reduce the number of alignment outliers and to improve component positioning compared to manual TKA (mTKA). The primary purpose of this investigation was to compare the frequency of achieving target postoperative limb alignment and component positioning for rTKA vs mTKA.MethodsA retrospective comparative study was performed on 250 patients undergoing primary TKA by 2 fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons. Surgeon A performed predominantly rTKA (103 cases) with the ROSA system (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) and less frequently mTKA (44 cases) with conventional instrumentation. Surgeon B performed only mTKA (103 cases). Target limb alignment for surgeon A was 0° for all cases and for surgeon B was 2° varus for varus knees and 0° for valgus knees. Radiographic measurements were determined by 2 reviewers. Target zone was set at ± 2 degrees from the predefined target.ResultsWhen comparing rTKA to mTKA performed by different surgeons, there were no differences in the percentage within the target zone (57.28% vs 53.40%, P = .575), but rTKA did result in a greater percentage for cases with preoperative valgus (71.42% vs 44.12%, P = .031). Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global-10 physical scores were statistically higher at both 3 (P = .016) and 6 months (P = .001) postoperatively for rTKA compared to mTKA performed by different surgeons.ConclusionsAlthough experienced surgeons can achieve target limb alignment correction with similar frequency when comparing rTKA to mTKA for all cases, rTKA may achieve target limb alignment with more accuracy for preoperative valgus deformity.Level of evidenceRetrospective Cohort Study, Level III.

The computer-assisted sequential lateral soft-tissue release in total knee arthroplasty for valgus knees.

Project description:Soft-tissue management is a critical factor in total knee arthroplasty, especially in valgus knees. The stepwise release has been based upon surgeon's experience. Computer-assisted surgery has gained increasing scientific interest in recent times and allows the intraoperative measurement of leg axis and gap size in extension and flexion. We therefore aimed to analyse the effect of sequential lateral soft-tissue release and the resulting change in the a.p. limb axis on the one hand and the tibiofemoral gaps on the other hand in extension as well as in flexion in eight cadaveric knees. Measurements were obtained using a CT-free navigation system. In extension the highest increase compared to the previous release step was found for the first (iliotibial band, P = 0.002), second (popliteus muscle, P = 0.0003), third (LCL, 0.007) and the sixth (entire PCL, P = 0.001) release step. In 90 degrees flexion all differences of the lateral release steps were statistically significant (P < 0.004). Massive progression of the lateral gap in flexion was found after the second (popliteus muscle, P = 0.004) and third (LCL, 0.007) release step. Computer-assisted surgery allows measurement of the effect of each release step of the sequential lateral release sequence and helps the surgeon to better assess the result.
