Computer-assisted revision of failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

چکیده
The authors performed a matched-paired study comparing 22 computer-assisted surgery (CAS)-unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) revisions with a similar group of knee replacement revisions performed conventionally. The aim of the study was to assess differences in implants used in the revision, surgical time, limb alignment, joint line restoration, and procedure costs. In the conventional group, there was a higher percentage of posterior stabilized (PS) and condylar constrained knee (CCK) implants, as well as a higher percentage of augmentations/stems/offsets. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative mechanical axis, surgical time, or hospital stay. There were fewer outliers and better joint line restoration in the CAS group. More blood transfusions were performed in the conventional group, and costs were higher in this group as well.

متن کاملUnicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Perspective from Computer Assisted Navigation
Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) is an established procedure for the treatment of unicompartmental arthritis. Success depends on a clear understanding of the principles and kinematics of the knee. Restoration of the physiological axis and soft tissue balancing is the key to a successful outcome. We outline the basic principles of UKA and the role of computer assisted surgery in achievin...
متن کاملUnicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: Modes of Failure and Conversion to Total Knee Arthroplasty
Despite the excellent success rates of the modern unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), results of knee replacement registries still shows a relatively high revision and failure rate for UKA, especially when compared with traditional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Bearing dislocation continues to be advocated as the predominant mechanism of failure in mobile UKA, whereas polyethylene wear a...
متن کاملRevision surgery for failed unicompartmental knee replacement: technical aspects and clinical outcome.
The aims of this study were to determine the complexity of surgery required to revise failed unicompartmental knee replacements and to evaluate the outcome following revision. Between 2000 and 2009, 494 cemented Oxford phase 3 medial unicompartmental knee replacements were implanted, with 24 (4.9%) requiring revision (mean age: 63.5 years; 58% male). Mean time to revision was 3.0 years. All cas...
متن کاملNavigated shorter incision or smaller implant in knee arthritis?
Minimally invasive approaches for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty are well-accepted for treating knee arthritis because of the smaller implant size, shorter operative time, and tissue-sparing nature of the procedure. With the introduction of computer alignment systems, a well-aligned and balanced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be achieved even with smaller surgical exposures. We hypothesi...
