چکیده
BACKGROUND Restoring function and alignment when treating knee arthritis with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients who have an extra-articular deformity (EAD) from a malunion or with retained femoral hardware is a challenge. The normal anatomical landmarks are hard to find and difficult to use to obtain correct alignment. The procedure will be further challenged by angular deformity of the femur or tibia. A retrospective study was performed on a case series of patients with EAD or obliteration of the canal treated with patient-specific instruments (PSI). METHODS A multicenter retrospective review of 10 patients with multiplanar deformities in which the knee components were aligned with patient-specific instruments was performed. Outcome and alignment were studied. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 3.4years, function improved from preoperative as evidenced by a mean increase in the KS pain score of 53 points, KS function score of 48 points and Oxford Score of 28 points (P<0.05). Flexion improved from 94° +/- 11° to 112° +/- 15° (P<0.05). Limb alignment was restored with a mean Hip-Knee-Ankle angle of 179.3° +/- 1.3° (P<0.05). Maximum outliers were 177° to 181°. An average tourniquet time of 75 +/- 9minutes (range, 62-83min) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The use of patient-specific instrumentation systems to perform TKA in patients without access to the intramedullary canal because of EAD or fixation devices, improved function and restored limb alignment. Mechanical alignment can easily be obtained with this technique by intra-articular correction of deformities under 20°. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard procedure for the end-stage destructive arthropathy of the knee. TKA can relieve pain and restore knee function. The post-operative mechanical axis should be within a +/-3 degree of a neutral mechanical axis to ensure a good long-term result and maximize the longevity of TKA. Performing TKA in patients with ipsilateral extra-articular deformity...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis (OA) patients with extra-articular deformity is still challenging because angular deformity, canal sclerosis, or the retained hardware that precludes the use of the traditional intramedullary guide. In addition, atypical bone cut for intra-articular correction leads to imbalanced soft tissue gap. Furthermore, corrective osteotomy should be consid...

Extra-articular femoral deformity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is realigned by either intra-articular correction or extra-articular osteotomy. The more distant the deformity is away from knee joint, the more likely it is corrected by the former method. No report described the use of antegrade cephalomedullary femoral nail to fix the osteotomy followed by computer-assisted navigation TKA. Th...
