Fluoroscopic analyses of cruciate-retaining and medial pivot knee implants.

چکیده
Contemporary posterior cruciate-retaining total knee designs have provided pain relief and improved knee function but have failed to reproduce the kinematics and stability of the normal nonarthritic knee. The Medial Pivot total knee design features a near constant radius of curvature of the femoral component. The tibial surface is highly congruent and asymmetric, permitting a medial pivot motion during knee flexion. The purpose of the current study was to analyze and compare the gait kinematics of the Sigma posterior cruciate-retaining total knee implant, the Advance Traditional posterior cruciate-retaining total knee implant, and the Advance Medial Pivot knee implant using fluoroscopic analysis. In vivo kinematics were determined for 15 clinically successful total knee arthroplasties. Five knee implants were evaluated from each group. The authors analyzed the kinematics of knee motion during the stance phase of gait for each patient. On average, subjects with the Medial Pivot knee implant had a medial pivot motion. Both posterior cruciateretaining designs had a paradoxical roll forward of the tibia on femur during knee flexion and had greater excursion of both condyles during knee flexion than the medial pivot design. Nine of 10 of the posterior cruciate-retaining designs had condylar lift-off averaging 1.7 mm whereas only one Medial Pivot knee implant had condylar lift-off measuring 1.1 mm.

A total of 344 patients underwent bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) using a different prosthesis on each side. Four knee prostheses were used: anterior and posterior cruciate-retaining (ACL-PCL), posterior cruciate-retaining (PCL), medial or lateral pivot (MLP), and posterior cruciate-substituting (PS). All patients had good or excellent results. The range of movement, relief from pain, al...

Achieving a large range of motion (ROM) is a much-desired clinical outcome after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially in Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. TKA design plays an important role in providing the post-operative ROM. This study investigated the kinematics of a new high-flexion posterior cruciate ligament retaining total knee replacement, featuring an enlarged posterior condylar ...

The objective of this study was to determine if consistent posterior femoral rollback of an asymmetrical posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty was mostly influenced by the implant design, surgical technique, or presence of a well-functioning posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Three-dimensional femorotibial kinematics was determined for 80 subjects implanted by 3 surgeons, a...

Computer-assisted surgery has focused on alignment of implants and soft tissue balancing but the end results during surgery as they pertain to long-term function of the implants are not yet realized. One parameter that continues to be variable despite the use of computer navigation is the placement of the implants in the transverse plane. The objective of this study was to determine whether imp...
