Purpose

It is generally accepted that the cement mantle surrounding the femoral component of a cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) should be complete without any defects, and of at least 2 mm in thickness. Radiographic evaluation is the basis for assessment of the cement mantle. The adequacy of radiographic interpretation is subject to debate. Poor interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility of radiographic cement mantle assessment has been reported. In this study, 3D template software was used that allow anatomical measurements and analysis of three-dimensional digital femura geometry based on CT scans. The purpose of this study is to analyze the three-dimensional cement mantle thickness of cemented hip stem.

Materials and Methods

52 hips that underwent THA with Exeter stem (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ) were enrolled in this study. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon. There were 49 hips in 49 women and 3 hips in 3 men. The average age at surgery was 73 years (range, 60–88 years). The etiology of the hip lesions were osteoarthrosis in 49, rheumatoid arthritis in 3, and osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 1.

For preoperative and postoperative evaluation, a CT scan of the pelvis and knee joint was obtained and was transferred to 3D template software (Zed hip, Lexi, Tokyo, Japan). We evaluated the alignment for stem anteversion/valgus/anterior tilt angles and the contact of the cortical bone with the cement mantle was evaluated.

Introduction

Increased long-term survival of TKA is becoming more important. Several studies have confirmed that optimal positioning and alignment of prosthetic components is crucial for the best long-term results. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to compare the postoperative alignment and sizing of femoral prosthesis among patients performed by 3 different navigation systems.

Methods

Twenty patients who underwent primary TKA (E. motion; B. Braun Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) using a CT-free navigation system (OrthoPilot v 4.2) by modified gap technique were enrolled in this study. The results of this study group were retrospectively compared with those in a control group of 20 matched-paired posterior stabilized TKAs (Triathlon;Stryker; Mahwah, NJ, USA) which were using another CT-free navigation system (Stryker Navigation System) by measured technique and 20 matched-paired posterior stabilized TKAs (Press-fit Condylar prosthesis; DePuy, Tokyo, Japan) using CT-based navigation system (VectorVision) by measured technique. Several parameters were evaluated for each patient using Athena Knee (Softcube Co, Ltd. Osaka, Japan), 3-D image-matching software. The coronal component angles and sagittal component angles were measured in relation to mechanical axis (MA). In addition, axial femoral component angle was measured in relation to surgical epicondylar axis (SEA) and axial tibial component angle was measured in relation to Akagi line.

Introduction

Achieving high flexion after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most important clinical results, especially in eastern countries where the high flexion activities, such as kneeling and squatting, are part of the important lifestyle. Numerous studies have examined the kinematics after TKA. However, there are few numbers of studies which examined the kinematics during deep knee flexion activities. Therefore, in the present study, we report analysis of mobile-bearing TKA kinematics from extension to deep flexion kneeling using 2D-3D image matching technique.

Materials and Methods

The subjects were 16 knees of 8 consecutive patients (all women, average age 75.9), who underwent primary mobile-bearing PS TKA (P.F.C. sigma RP-F: Depuy Orthopedics Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA) between February 2007 and May 2008. All cases were osteoarthritis with varus deformity. Postoperative radiographs were taken at the position of extension, half-squatting and deep flexion kneeling 3 month after the surgery, and the degrees of internal rotation of the tibial component was measured by 2D-3D image matching technique. Pre- and post-operative ROM was recorded. Then, we compared the absolute value and relative movement of tibial internal rotation between extension, half-squatting and deep flexion kneeling, and evaluated the correlation of the ROM and the internal rotation.

We have reviewed 41 patients with pustulotic arthro-osteopathy (PAO), all having both the typical skin rash of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris and bone lesions. The most common bones affected were the clavicle, sternum and ribs. Changes in the clavicle started, not as an enthesopathy, but with periosteal bone formation, indicative of a bone marrow disorder. About 30% of the patients also had lesions in the spine, sacroiliac region or the peripheral joints. Bone and joint lesions followed a variable and intermittent clinical course over a long period of time. Biopsies in eight cases showed similar inflammatory changes in skin, bone and synovium, with infiltration of lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leucocytes. This suggests that there is a common pathogenesis in the three tissues.
