RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aims were to assess whether sex had a clinically significant independent influence on the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Short Form (SF-) 12 scores and patient satisfaction at 1 year. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 3510 primary TKA were identified. Patient demographics, comorbidities, WOMAC and SF-12 scores were collected preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Patient satisfaction were assessed at 1 year. RESULTS: There were 1584 males and 1926 females. The preoperative WOMAC and SF-12 scores were significantly (p < 0.001) worse in females but were not greater than the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). When adjustments had been made for confounding differences, females showed a significantly greater improvement in their function (1.5 points, p = 0.03) and total (1.5 points, p = 0.03) WOMAC scores compared to males, but these were not greater than the MCID. When adjustments had been made for confounding differences, females were less likely to be satisfied with their pain relief (p = 0.03) relative to males. CONCLUSION: Sex does not clinically influence the knee specific outcome (WOMAC) or overall generic (SF-12) health 1 year after TKA. However, satisfaction with pain relief after TKA was significantly less likely in female patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II: Prognostic retrospective cohort study.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In cartilage, the osteoarthritis (OA) associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11780978 correlates with differential expression of PLEC, and with differential methylation of PLEC CpG dinucleotides, forming eQTLs and mQTLs respectively. This implies that methylation links chondrocyte genotype and phenotype, thus driving the functional effect of this genetic risk signal. PLEC encodes plectin, a cytoskeletal protein that enables tissues to respond to mechanical forces. We sought to assess whether these PLEC functional effects were cartilage specific. METHOD: Cartilage, fat pad, synovium and peripheral blood were collected from patients undergoing arthroplasty. PLEC CpGs were analysed for mQTLs and allelic expression imbalance (AEI) was performed to test for eQTLs. Plectin was knocked down in a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) line using CRISPR/Cas9 and cells phenotyped by RNA-sequencing. RESULTS: mQTLs were discovered in fat pad, synovium and blood. Their effects were however stronger in the joint tissues and of comparable effect between these tissues. We observed AEI in synovium in the same direction as for cartilage and correlations between methylation and PLEC expression. Knocking-down plectin impacted on pathways reported to have a role in OA, including Wnt signalling, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis and immune regulation. CONCLUSIONS: Synovium is also a target of the rs11780978 OA association functionally operating on PLEC. In fat pad, mQTLs were identified but these did not correlate with PLEC expression, suggesting the functional effect is not joint-wide. Our study highlights interplay between genetic risk, DNA methylation and gene expression in OA, and reveals clear differences between tissues from the same diseased joint.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Our primary aim was to describe migration of the Exeter stem with a 32 mm head on highly crosslinked polyethylene and whether this is influenced by age. Our secondary aims were to assess functional outcome, satisfaction, activity, and bone mineral density (BMD) according to age. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted. Patients were recruited into three age groups: less than 65 years (n = 65), 65 to 74 years (n = 68), and 75 years and older (n = 67). There were 200 patients enrolled in the study, of whom 115 were female and 85 were male, with a mean age of 69.9 years (sd 9.5, 42 to 92). They were assessed preoperatively, and at three, 12 and, 24 months postoperatively. Stem migration was assessed using Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyse (EBRA). Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), EuroQol-5 domains questionnaire (EQ-5D), short form-36 questionnaire (SF-36,) and patient satisfaction were used to assess outcome. The Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and activPAL monitor (energy expelled, time lying/standing/walking and step count) were used to assess activity. The BMD was assessed in Gruen and Charnley zones. RESULTS: Mean varus/valgus tilt was -0.77° and axial subsidence was -1.20 mm. No significant difference was observed between age groups (p ⩾ 0.07). There was no difference according to age group for postoperative WOMAC (p ⩾ 0.11), HHS (p ⩾ 0.06), HOOS (p ⩾ 0.46), EQ-5D (p ⩾ 0.38), patient satisfaction (p ⩾ 0.05), or activPAL (p ⩾ 0.06). Patients 75 years and older had a worse SF-36 physical function (p = 0.01) and physical role (p = 0.03), LEAS score (p < 0.001), a shorter TUG (p = 0.01), and a lower BMD in Charnley zone 1 (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Exeter stem migration is within normal limits and is not influenced by age group. Functional outcome, patient satisfaction, activity level, and periprosthetic BMD are similar across all age groups.Cite this article: N. D. Clement, M. Bardgett, K. Merrie, S. Furtado, R. Bowman, D.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify minimal clinically important difference (MCID), minimal important change (MIC) and minimal detectable change (MDC) for the Short Form (SF-) 12 physical and mental component summary (PCS, MCS) scores after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using an anchor based methodology. METHODS: During a 10-year period, 2589 TKA were performed. SF-12 PCS and MCS scores were recorded preoperatively and at one year postoperatively. At one year, patients were asked "How much did the knee replacement surgery improve the quality of your life?" Their response was recorded as: a great improvement, moderate improvement, little improvement, no improvement at all, or the quality of my life is worse. Patients recording a little (n = 211) and no (n = 115) were used to calculate the MCID and the MIC. The MDC90 was calculated using distribution based methods for the whole cohort. RESULTS: The MCID was 1.8 (p = 0.04) for the PCS and 1.5 (p = 0.33) for the MCS score. The MIC was 2.7 (p = 0.04) for the PCS and -1.4 (p = 0.17) for the MCS score. The MDC90 was 8.9 for the PCS and 13.8 for the MCS score. CONCLUSION: The MCID for the PCS can be used to compare the outcomes between groups, and the MIC can be used to ensure that a clinical difference has been observed for a cohort of patients. The values for the MDC90 can be used to assess whether or not an individual patient has experienced a change.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are emerging as key regulators in gene expression; however, little is known about the lincRNA expression changes that occur in osteoarthritis (OA). Here we aimed to define a transcriptome of lncRNAs in OA cartilage, specifically comparing the lincRNA transcriptome of knee and hip cartilage. METHOD: RNA-seq was performed on nucleic acid extracted from hip cartilage from patients undergoing joint replacement surgery because of either OA (n = 10) or because of a neck of femur fracture (NOF; n = 6). After transcript alignment, counts were performed using Salmon and differential expression for ENSEMBL lincRNAs determined using DESeq2. Hip RNA-seq lincRNA expression was compared to a knee dataset (ArrayExpress; E-MTAB-4304). ChIP-seq data from ENCODE was used to determine whether lincRNAs were associated with promoters (plncRNA) or unidirectional enhancer-like regulatory elements (elncRNAs). RESULTS: Our analysis of the hip transcriptome identified 1692 expressed Transcripts Per Million (TPM ≥1) Ensembl lincRNAs, of which 198 were significantly (FDR ≤0.05) differentially expressed in OA vs normal (NOF) cartilage. Similar analysis of knee cartilage transcriptome identified 648 Emsembl lincRNAs with 93 significantly (FDR ≤0.05) differentially expressed in intact vs damaged cartilage. In total, 1834 lincRNAs were expressed in both hip and knee cartilage, with a highly significant correlation in expression between the two cartilages. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to use RNA-seq to map and compare the lincRNA transcriptomes of hip and knee cartilage. We propose that lincRNAs expressed selectively in cartilage, or showing differential expression in OA, will play a role in cartilage homoeostasis.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Symptoms of stiffness after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cause significant morbidity, but there is limited data to facilitate identification of those most at risk after surgery. Stratifying risk can aid earlier directed treatment options. METHODS: A retrospective cohort consisting of 2589 patients undergoing a primary TKA was identified from an established arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and short form (SF) 12 scores were collected pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively. In addition, patient satisfaction was assessed for 1 year. Patients with a worse WOMAC stiffness score in 1 year were defined as the "increased" stiffness group and the other cohort as the non-stiffness group. RESULTS: At 1 year after surgery 129 (5%) patients had a significant increase in their stiffness symptoms (20%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 17.9-22.0, p < 0.001), and had significantly (all p < 0.001) less of an improvement in their pain, function and total WOMAC scores, and SF-12 scores compared to the non-stiffness group (n = 2460). Patient satisfaction was significantly lower (odds ratio (OR) 0.178, CI 0.121 to 0.262, p < 0.001) for the increased stiffness group. Logistic regression analysis identified male gender (OR 1.66, p = 0.02), lung disease (OR 2.06, p = 0.002), diabetes (OR 1.82, p = 0.02), back pain (OR 1.81, p = 0.005), and a pre-operative stiffness score of 44 or more (OR 5.79, p < 0.001) were significantly predictive of increased stiffness. CONCLUSION: Patients with increased symptoms of stiffness after TKA have a worse functional outcome and a lower rate of patient satisfaction, and patients at risk of being in this group should be informed pre-operatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective prognostic study, Level III.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The primary aim of this study was to assess whether patients dissatisfied with both recreational activities and overall outcome were different to those dissatisfied with recreational activities but satisfied with their overall outcome one year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: A retrospective cohort consisting of 3324 primary TKA were identified from an established arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, comorbidities, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Short Form (SF) 12 scores were collected pre-operatively and one year post-operatively. Overall patient satisfaction and satisfaction with recreational activities were assessed at one year. RESULTS: The rate of patient satisfaction with recreational activities (n = 2672, 80.4%) was significantly (odds ratio (OR) 0.47, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.41 to 0.54, p < 0.001) lower than satisfaction with the overall outcome (n = 2982, 89.7%). When adjusting for confounding variables older age (OR 1.03, p = 0.008), increasing BMI (OR 1.05, p = 0.01) and absence of hypertension (OR 0.66, p = 0.02) were independent predictors of being dissatisfied with recreational activities in isolation. The one-year components and total WOMAC scores were significant (p < 0.001) predictors of satisfaction with recreational activities and were reliable with an area under the curve of ≥0.82 CONCLUSION: Patients of older age, higher BMI and without hypertension are more likely to be dissatisfied with recreational activities despite being satisfied with their overall outcome.

RESUMO

AIMS: There are limited published data detailing the volumetric material loss from tapers of conventional metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasties (THAs). Our aim was to address this by comparing the taper wear rates measured in an explanted cohort of the widely used Exeter THA with those measured in a group of metal-on-metal (MoM) THAs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We examined an existing retrieval database to identify all Exeter V40 and Universal MoP THAs. Volumetric wear analysis of the taper surfaces was conducted using previously validated methodology. These values were compared with those obtained from a series of MoM THAs using non-parametric statistical methodology. A number of patient and device variables were accounted for using multiple regression modelling. RESULTS: A total of 95 Exeter MoP and 249 MoM THAs were examined. The median volumetric loss from the MoM cohort was over four times larger than that from the MoP cohort (1.01 mm3 vs 0.23 mm3, p < 0.001), despite a significantly shorter median period in vivo for the MoM group (48 months vs 90 months, p < 0.001). Multiple regression modelling indicated that the dominant variables leading to greater female taper material loss were bearing diameter (p < 0.001), larger female taper angles (p < 0.001), and male titanium stem tapers (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Consistent with the long-term clinical success of the device, the volumetric material loss from Exeter femoral head tapers was, in general, small compared with that from larger-diameter MoM head tapers.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Management of the young patient with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee is difficult, with surgical options of osteotomy, partial or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The primary aim of this study was to assess whether age of less than 55 years was an independent predictor of functional outcome and satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The secondary aims were to identify pre-operative differences in patient demographics, comorbidity and function between patients less than 55 years old compared to those 55 years old and over. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort consisting of 2589 patients undergoing a primary TKA was identified from an established arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, comorbidity, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form (SF) 12 scores were collected pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively. In addition, patient satisfaction was assessed at 1 year. Regression analysis was used to identify independent pre-operative predictors of change in the WOMAC and SF-12 scores, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: Patients less than 55 years old were significantly less likely to be satisfied with the overall outcome of their TKA (OR 0.4, p = 0.001). After adjusting for confounding variables age group was not an independent predictor of overall satisfaction with overall outcome (OR 0.71, p = 0.16). Independent predictors of an increased risk of dissatisfaction with the overall outcome at 1 year were depression (OR 0.58, p = 0.008) and worse pre-operative SF-12 MCS (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Age of less than 55 years is not an independent predictor of functional outcome or rate of patient satisfaction after TKA. However, depression and poor mental health are significantly more prevalent in patients less than 55 years old and were independently associated with a lower satisfaction rate.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We have encountered patients who developed large joint fluid collections with massive elevations in chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co) concentrations following metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasties. In some cases, retrieval analysis determined that these ion concentrations could not be explained simply by the wear rates of the components. We hypothesized that these effects may be associated with aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesion (ALVAL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We examined the influence of the ALVAL grade on synovial fluid Co and Cr concentrations following adjustment for patient and device variables, including volumetric wear rates. Initially restricting the analysis to include only patients with one MoM hip resurfacing device, we performed multiple regression analyses of prospectively collected data. We then repeated the same statistical approach using results from a larger cohort with different MoM designs, including total hip arthroplasties. RESULTS: In the resurfacing cohort (n = 76), the statistical modelling indicated that the presence of severe ALVAL and a large fluid collection were associated with greater joint fluid Co concentrations after adjustment for volumetric wear rates (p = 0.005). These findings were replicated in the mixed implant group (n = 178), where the presence of severe ALVAL and a large fluid collection were significantly associated with greater fluid Co concentrations (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The development of severe ALVAL is associated with elevations in metal ion concentrations far beyond those expected from the volumetric loss from the prosthetic surfaces. This finding may aid the understanding of the sequence of events leading to soft-tissue reactions following MoM hip arthroplasties.Cite this article: D. J. Langton, R. P. Sidaginamale, T. J.

RESUMO

Aims: The primary aim of this study was to assess the rate of patient satisfaction one year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) according to the focus of the question asked. The secondary aims were to identify independent predictors of patient satisfaction according to the focus of the question. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort of 2521 patients undergoing a primary unilateral TKA were identified from an established regional arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, comorbidities, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores were collected preoperatively and one year postoperatively. Patient satisfaction was assessed using four questions, which focused on overall outcome, activity, work, and pain. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent preoperative predictors of increased stiffness when adjusting for confounding variables. Results: Using patient satisfaction with the overall outcome (n = 2265, 89.8%) as the standard, there was no difference in the rate of satisfaction for pain relief (n = 2277, odds ratio (OR) 0.95, 95% confident intervals (CI) 0.79 to 1.14, p = 0.60), but patients were more likely to be dissatisfied with activities (79.3%, n = 2000/2521, OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.96 to 2.70, p < 0.001) and work (85.8%, n = 2163/2521, OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.75, p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis identified different predictors of satisfaction for each of the focused satisfaction questions. Overall satisfaction was influenced by diabetes (p = 0.03), depression (p = 0.004), back pain (p < 0.001), and SF-12 physical (p = 0.008) and mental (p = 0.01) components. Satisfaction with activities was influenced by depression (p = 0.001), back pain (p < 0.001), WOMAC stiffness score (p = 0.03), and SF-12 physical (p < 0.001) and mental (p < 0.001) components. Satisfaction with work was influenced by depression (p = 0.007), back pain (p < 0.001), WOMAC function (p = 0.04) and stiffness (p = 0.05) scores, and SF-12 physical (p < 0.001) and mental (p < 0.001) components. Satisfaction with pain relief was influenced by diabetes (p < 0.001), back pain (p < 0.001), and SF-12 mental component (p = 0.04). Conclusion: The focus of the satisfaction question significantly influences the rate and the predictors of patient satisfaction after TKA. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:740-8.

RESUMO

AIMS: The primary aim of this study was to assess whether patient satisfaction one year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) changed with longer follow-up. The secondary aims were to identify predictors of satisfaction at one year, persistence of patient dissatisfaction, and late onset dissatisfaction in patients that were originally satisfied at one year. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort consisting of 1369 patients undergoing a primary TKA for osteoarthritis that had not undergone revision were identified from an established arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, comorbidities, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, and Short Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaire scores were collected preoperatively, and one and five years postoperatively. In addition, patient satisfaction was assessed at one and five years postoperatively. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of satisfaction at one and five years. RESULTS: The overall rate of satisfaction did not change from one (91.7%, n = 1255) to five (90.1%, n = 1234) years (p = 0.16). Approximately half (n = 53/114) of the patients who were dissatisfied at one year became satisfied with their TKA at five years, whereas 6% (n = 74/1255) of those who were satisfied at one year became dissatisfied at five years. At one year, patients with lung disease (p = 0.04), with depression (p = 0.001), with back pain (p < 0.001), undergoing unilateral TKA (p = 0.001), or with a worse preoperative WOMAC pain score (p = 0.04) were more likely to be dissatisfied. Patients with gastric ulceration (p = 0.04) and a worse WOMAC stiffness score (p = 0.047) were at increased risk of persistent dissatisfaction at five years. In contrast, a worse WOMAC pain score (p = 0.01) at one year was a predictor of dissatisfaction in previously satisfied patients at five years. CONCLUSION: Three groups of dissatisfied patients exist after TKA: 'early' dissatisfaction at one year, 'persistent' dissatisfaction with longer follow-up, and 'late' dissatisfaction developing in previously satisfied patients at one year. All three groups have different independent predictors of satisfaction, and potentially addressing risk factors specific to these groups may improve patient outcome and their satisfaction.

RESUMO

AIMS: We sought to determine whether cobalt-chromium alloy (CoCr) femoral stem tapers (trunnions) wear more than titanium (Ti) alloy stem tapers (trunnions) when used in a large diameter (LD) metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty system. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed explant analysis using validated methodology to determine the volumetric material loss at the taper surfaces of explanted LD CoCr MoM hip arthroplasties used with either a Ti alloy (n = 28) or CoCr femoral stem (n = 21). Only 12/14 taper constructs with a rough male taper surface and a nominal included angle close to 5.666° were included. Multiple regression modelling was undertaken using taper angle, taper roughness, bearing diameter (horizontal lever arm) as independent variables. Material loss was mapped using a coordinate measuring machine, profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: After adjustment for other factors, CoCr stem tapers were found to have significantly greater volumetric material loss than the equivalent Ti stem tapers. CONCLUSION: When taper junction damage is identified during revision of a LD MoM hip, it should be suspected that a male taper composed of a standard CoCr alloy has sustained significant changes to the taper cone geometry which are likely to be more extensive than those affecting a Ti alloy stem.

RESUMO

AIMS: The aim of this consensus was to develop a definition of post-operative fibrosis of the knee. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An international panel of experts took part in a formal consensus process composed of a discussion phase and three Delphi rounds. RESULTS: Post-operative fibrosis of the knee was defined as a limited range of movement (ROM) in flexion and/or extension, that is not attributable to an osseous or prosthetic block to movement from malaligned, malpositioned or incorrectly sized components, metal hardware, ligament reconstruction, infection (septic arthritis), pain, chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or other specific causes, but due to soft-tissue fibrosis that was not present pre-operatively. Limitation of movement was graded as mild, moderate or severe according to the range of flexion (90° to 100°, 70° to 89°, < 70°) or extension deficit (5° to 10°, 11° to 20°, > 20°). Recommended investigations to support the diagnosis and a strategy for its management were also agreed. CONCLUSION: The development of standardised, accepted criteria for the diagnosis, classification and grading of the severity of post-operative fibrosis of the knee will facilitate the identification of patients for inclusion in clinical trials, the development of clinical guidelines, and eventually help to inform the management of this difficult condition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: An increasing number of patients in the working population are undergoing total hip and knee replacement for osteoarthritis and the timing and success of return to work (RTW) is becoming increasingly important as a measure of success for these patients. There is limited understanding of the patient variables that determine the ability to RTW. AIMS: To explore the factors influencing RTW following hip and knee replacement from the patient's perspective. METHODS: A cross-sectional population-based postal survey carried out with patients of working age after hip and knee replacement surgery in a UK teaching hospital. Free text comments were collected regarding the experiences of patients returning to work following hip and knee replacement. Qualitative thematic analysis was undertaken to identify the factors influencing RTW from the patient's perspective. RESULTS: From the patients' perspective three key factors were identified that influenced RTW. Patients reported an improved physical and psychological performance at work after surgery in comparison to pre-operative functioning, although there was a lack of informed advice regarding RTW after surgery. Workplace support and adaptation of the job role enhanced the experience of RTW. CONCLUSIONS: Return to work is influenced by a combination of patient, clinician and occupational factors. The relationship between each of these needs to be explored in greater depth through further qualitative work to gain a wider understanding of the variables influencing patients' RTW following hip and knee replacement.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to compare the maximum laxity conferred by the cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior-stabilised (PS) Triathlon single-radius total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for anterior drawer, varus-valgus opening and rotation in eight cadaver knees through a defined arc of flexion (0º to 110º). The null hypothesis was that the limits of laxity of CR- and PS-TKAs are not significantly different. The investigation was undertaken in eight loaded cadaver knees undergoing subjective stress testing using a measurement rig. Firstly the native knee was tested prior to preparation for CR-TKA and subsequently for PS-TKA implantation. Surgical navigation was used to track maximal displacements/rotations at 0º, 30º, 60º, 90º and 110° of flexion. Mixed-effects modelling was used to define the behaviour of the TKAs. The laxity measured for the CR- and PS-TKAs revealed no statistically significant differences over the studied flexion arc for the two versions of TKA. Compared with the native knee both TKAs exhibited slightly increased anterior drawer and decreased varus-valgus and internal-external roational laxities. We believe further study is required to define the clinical states for which the additional constraint offered by a PS-TKA implant may be beneficial.

RESUMO

Concerns have been raised that deformation of acetabular shells may disrupt the assembly process of modular prostheses. In this study we aimed to examine the effect that the strength of bone has on the amount of deformation of the acetabular shell. The hypothesis was that stronger bone would result in greater deformation. A total of 17 acetabular shells were inserted into the acetabula of eight cadavers, and deformation was measured using an optical measuring system. Cores of bone from the femoral head were taken from each cadaver and compressed using a materials testing machine. The highest peak modulus and yield stress for each cadaver were used to represent the strength of the bone and compared with the values for the deformation and the surgeon's subjective assessment of the hardness of the bone. The mean deformation of the shell was 129 µm (3 to 340). No correlation was found between deformation and either the maximum peak modulus (r² = 0.011, t = 0.426, p = 0.676) or the yield stress (r² = 0.024, t = 0.614, p = 0.549) of the bone. Although no correlation was found between the strength of the bone and deformation, the values for the deformation observed could be sufficient to disrupt the assembly process of modular acetabular components.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The popliteus tendon is crucial to postero-lateral stability and prone to iatrogenic injury intra-operatively. Its role in the stability of the replaced knee remains contentious. The aim of this study was to use computer navigation to quantify the effect of popliteus sectioning on the 'envelope of laxity' (EoL) offered by a posterior-stabilised (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and compare with that of the native knee. METHODS: Loaded cadaveric legs were mounted on a purpose built rig. EoL was measured in 3 degrees of freedom using computer navigation. Knees were subjectively stressed in varus/valgus, internal/external rotation and anterior draw. This was performed preoperatively, during TKA and after sectioning of the popliteus tendon. Real-time data were recorded at 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° of flexion as the operating surgeon stressed the knee in 3 degrees of freedom to its subjective endpoint. Mixed-effect modelling was used to quantify the effects of intervention on degree of laxity. RESULTS: In all conditions, there was an increase in laxity with knee flexion. Insertion of a PS TKA resulted in increased constraint, particularly in rotation. Sectioning of the popliteus did not result in a significant increase in knee laxity to 90º of knee flexion. However, at deeper flexion angles, tendon sectioning overcame the constraints of the implant resulting in a significant increase in rotatory and varus/valgus laxity towards the native condition. CONCLUSION: These findings support the view that certain current designs of PS knee replacement can constrain the knee in flexion in the absence of postero-lateral deficiency. For this implant, isolated sectioning of the popliteus tendon did not substantially generate abnormal knee laxity.
