چکیده
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.

A lateral approach defect closure technique with deep fascia flap for valgus knee TKA
BACKGROUND Routinely, we use a midline skin incision and lateral parapatellar approach of the knee to perform valgus knee TKA (total knee arthroplasty). It is generally very difficult to close the lateral capsular defect after valgus knee TKA, especially for severe valgus and flexion knee deformity. METHODS We describe a new surgical technique to close the lateral capsular defect with a deep ...
متن کاملPatellar malalignment treatment in total knee arthroplasty.
The patella, with or without resurfacing, plays a fundamental role in the success of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patellofemoral joint complications are due to problems related to the patient, to the surgical technique, or to the design of the components. Patellar tracking is influenced by several factors: a severe preoperative valgus, the presence of pre-existing patellofemoral dysplasia, ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of rotational alignment of the femoral and patellar components on patellar tilt after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 56 patients (76 knees) who underwent TKA using Advance Medial Pivot Knee system between May 2009 and April 2011 and were available for minimum 1-year follow-up were enrolled in this ...
متن کاملTotal knee arthroplasty with subvastus approach in patient with chronic post-traumatic patellar dislocation☆
Chronic lateral dislocation of the patella is a rare condition and acquired causes are usually secondary to knee trauma. The neglected chronic dislocation leads to progressive genu valgum and external tibial torsion deformities with subsequent gonarthrosis, which becomes painful and debilitating. There is no consensus regarding treatment of these patients, but total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a...
متن کاملTotal Knee Arthroplasty for Severe Valgus Knee Deformity with a Thin Bowl Shaped Patella
Valgus knee is associated with exaggerated dysfunction of the patello-femoral joint and the lateral compartment of the femorotibial joint, and may be associated with contracture of the lateral soft tissues and laxity of the medial soft tissues. The authors encountered a case of severe valgus knee deformity with a thin bowl-shaped patella. The case was treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA),...
