Purpose

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological result of the usage of chip bone graft in non-contained type bone defect in primary or revision total knee arthroplasty patients.

Subjects and Methods

We investigated 32 patients who had underwent primary or revision total knee arthroplasty from March, 2014 to February, 2017 in our hospital, who had non-contained type of defect. The mean age was 73.1 years. 5 of them were males, while 27 of them were females. 7 of them were primary total knee arthroplasty patients, while 25 of them were revision patients. 8 of them had chip bone graft used both in the femur and tibia. 9 of them had chip bone graft used only in the tibia. The other 15 had chip bone graft used only in the femur. Wire-mesh was used in the 9 patients who had chip bone graft used only in the medial side of the tibia. We used KOOS (Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score), HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery knee service rating system) and WOMAC scores to assess the clinical result, before the surgery and at the last follow-up. In addition, we had follow-up x-rays and 3D CT done for the patients to check the mean bone union period. In addition, overall radiologic imaging studies were used for complications such as loosening, osteolysis and lesions with radiolucency.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of the revision TKA in which trabecular metal cones and femoral head allografts were used for large bone defect.

Method

Total 53 patients who have undergone revision TKA from July 2013 to March 2017 were enrolled in this study. Among them, 24 patients used trabecular metal cones, and 29 patients used femoral head allografts for large bone defect. There were 3 males and 21 females in the metal cone group, while there were 4 males and 25 females in the allograft group. The mean age was 70.2 years (range, 51–80) in the femoral head allograft group, while it was 79.1 years (range, 73–85) in the metal cone group.

Bone defect is classified according to the AORI classification and clinical outcomes were evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Hospital Special Surgery-score (HSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and ROM. Operation time was also evaluated. We used radiographs to check complications such as migration or loosening. We took follow-up x-rays and 3D CT of the patients, to assess the mean bone union period. Shapiro-Wilk test was done to check normality and Student T-test and Mann Whitney U-test were done for comparison between two groups.

Purpose

To compare and analyze the long term follow up clinical & radiological result after utilization of fixed-type & rotating-type implant for high flex both total knee replacement.

Subject & Method

This paper targeted 45 patients, 90 cases that got high flex both total knee replacement with utilization of fixed-type implant(LPS-flex®) & rotating-type implant(P.F.C® Sigma RP-F) for 1 patient by 1 operator(C.C.H) in our hospital from 2005.01 to 2006.11. Preoperative diagnoses were degenerative arthritis (43 patients, 86 cases), rheumatic arthritis (2 patients, 4 cases), mean age at the operation was 66.4 years old(54∼78), 3 men, 42 women, mean follow up period was 110.8months(97∼120). We compared and estimated Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS) score and Knee Society Score(KSS), Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis(WOMAC) score and mean range of motion of knee joint at pre-operation and last follow up for functional & clinical evaluation. And we compared and estimated change of femorotibial angle and radiolucency through erect AP & lateral x-ray at pre-, post-operation and last follow up using American Knee Society Roentgen Graphic Evaluation for radiological evaluation.

Background

This study was conducted to assess the clinical and radiologic results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with an allogenic bone graft using varus-valgus constrained (VVC) prostheses in knees with severe bone defects and unstable neuropathy.

Methods

This study included 20 knees of 16 patients who underwent TKA between August 2001 and January 2006 due to unstable knees with severe bone destruction resulting from neuropathic arthritis. At the time of surgery, the mean age of the patients was 56 years. The mean length of the follow-up period was 10.7 years. A VVC condylar prosthesis was used with an allogenic femoral head graft to reconstruct large bony defects. Clinical results were evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Knee Society (KS) function, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) scores. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) was used to evaluate the radiological parameters, which included the tibiofemoral angle, loosening or osteolysis of components, and incorporation of the bone graft.
