The transepicondylar axis is a well-established reference for the determination of femoral component rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, when severe bone loss is present in the femoral condyles, rotational alignment can be more complicated. There is a lack of validated landmarks in the supracondylar region of the distal femur. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA) and the suggested dorsal cortex line (DCL) in the coronal plane and the inter- and intraobserver reliability of its CT scan measurement. A total of 75 randomly selected CT scans were measured by three experienced surgeons independently. The DCL was defined in the coronal plane as a tangent to the dorsal femoral cortex located 75 mm above the joint line in the frontal plane. The difference between sTEA and DCL was calculated. Descriptive statistics and angulation correlations were generated for the sTEA and DCL, as well as for the distribution of measurement error for intra- and inter-rater reliability.Aims
Methods
Little is known about the relative outcomes of revision of unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study is to compare the
outcomes of revision surgery for the two procedures in terms of
complications, re-revision and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
at a minimum of two years follow-up. This study was a retrospective review of data from an institutional
arthroplasty registry for cases performed between 2001 and 2014.
A total of 292 patients were identified, of which 217 had a revision
of HTO to TKA, and 75 had revision of UKA to TKA. While mean follow-up
was longer for the HTO group compared with the UKA group, patient
demographics (age, body mass index and Charlson co-morbidity index)
and PROMs (Short Form-36, Oxford Knee Score, Knee Society Score,
both objective and functional) were similar in the two groups prior
to revision surgery. Outcomes included the rate of complications
and
re-operation, PROMS and patient-reported satisfaction at six months
and two years post-operatively. We also compared the duration of
surgery and the need for revision implants in the two groups. Aims
