RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: A one-way valve lesion plays an important role in the formation of Baker's cysts and serves as an important landmark for accessing these cysts during arthroscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of one-way valve lesions and their effect on clinical outcomes in patients who underwent arthroscopic cystectomy for Baker's cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent arthroscopic cystectomy for Baker's cysts between June 2005 and November 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographic characteristics, radiologic/arthroscopic findings (presence of one-way valve lesions, concurrent chondral and meniscal lesions, and cyst wall thickness), and clinical outcomes (clinical recurrence rate, Lysholm score, and complications) at the 2-year follow-up were evaluated. Subgroup analysis was performed to compare clinical outcomes between patients with and without one-way valve lesions. RESULTS: Thirty patients (mean age, 57.4 ± 9.4 years) were included in this study. One-way valve lesions were surgically documented in 11 patients (36.7%). Ten patients (33.3%) had chondral lesions with an International Cartilage Repair Society grade ≥ 3, and 23 patients (76.7%) had concurrent chondral and meniscal lesions. At the 2-year follow-up, none of the patients had experienced clinical recurrence; the mean Lysholm score was 76.3 ± 17.5 (48-100). Three patients reported persistent pain, while two reported numbness or paresthesia. Subgroup analysis showed no significant differences in clinical recurrence rates, Lysholm scores, and complication rates between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of one-way valve lesions during arthroscopic cystectomy for Baker's cysts was lower than that previously reported. Arthroscopic cystectomy showed good clinical results in patients with and without these lesions.

RESUMO

Few clinical studies have compared uniplane high tibial osteotomy (HTO) with biplane HTO. The study aim was to compare the radiological and clinical results of uniplane HTO and biplane HTO, especially in terms of the increase in the posterior tibial slope (PTS). Medial opening-wedge HTO patients' medical records and radiological results from a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Pre- and postoperative serial radiographs, including the Rosenberg, lateral view, and standing anteroposterior view of the whole lower extremity, magnetic resonance imaging at postoperative day 2, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score at postoperative 2 years were reviewed to evaluate radiological and clinical results, including the change in PTS. A total of 61 knees, including 34 for uniplane and 27 for biplane HTOs, were enrolled. There were no significant differences in the pre- and postoperative mechanical angles or incidences of the lateral hinge fractures, and all patients showed complete union at postoperative 2 years. The PTS was increased more in the biplane group than in the uniplane group (3.1 ± 2.6 in biplane vs. 0.8 ± 1.7 in uniplane, p < 0.05). The WOMAC scores were 72 ± 9.3 in the uniplane and 75 ± 5.8 in the biplane group (not significant). The increase in PTS was lower in uniplane medial opening HTO than in biplane HTO.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Few studies have reported the clinical outcomes of the medial reefing procedure and lateral release with arthroscopic control of medial retinacular tension in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical, radiologic outcomes and complications of arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release. METHODS: Patients who underwent arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release for recurrent patellar dislocation between November 2007 and June 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. The clinical outcome (Kujala score), radiologic outcome (congruence and patellar tilt angles), and complications were evaluated at final follow-up. The results were also compared with literature-reported outcomes of other surgical procedures for patellar dislocation. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients (mean age, 18.3 ± 4.8 years) were included in the study. The mean clinical follow-up period was 7.0 ± 2.5 (range, 3.8-12.2) years. The mean Kujala score was significantly improved from 54.7 ± 14.0 (range, 37-86) preoperatively to 91.0 ± 7.6 (range, 63-99) at a mean follow-up period of 7 years (P < 0.001). The radiologic results also significantly improved from 17.8° ± 5.9° to 6.8° ± 2.4° (P < 0.001) in the congruence angle and from 17.5° ± 8.2° to 5.6° ± 3.1° (P < 0.001) in the patella tilt angle at a mean follow-up period of 3.6 years. One patient developed a redislocation after a traumatic event, and two patients showed patellofemoral osteoarthritis progression. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release significantly improved the clinical and radiologic outcomes of the patients with recurrent patellar dislocation at a mean follow-up period of 7 years. The results of this study are comparable with the literature-reported outcomes of other surgical procedures for patellar dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective therapeutic case series.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: With surgical modifications reflecting plate design differences of the specific rigid locking plate adding a metal wedge, uniplane high tibial osteotomy (HTO) has fewer lateral-hinge fractures and fewer plate irritations than biplane HTO. METHODS: Uniplane HTO with a rigid locking plate adding a metal wedge was compared with biplane HTO with a rigid locking plate including a proximal D-hole. For comparison, the HTO patients' medical records and radiological results in a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. The Oxford knee score 2 years post-operation, CT scan at post-operative day 2 and serial standing long-bone scanography were reviewed to evaluate clinical outcome and radiological results, including the incidence of lateral-hinge fracture, plate irritation and correction loss to varus alignment. RESULTS: A total of 103 knees, including 59 uniplane HTO and 44 biplane HTO, were enrolled. The Oxford scores were 38.1 ± 7.8 in the uniplane group and 35.9 ± 8.3 in the biplane group (ns). On CT scans, more lateral-hinge fractures developed in the biplane group, and seven knees (12%) of the uniplane group and 12 knees (27%) of the biplane group had Takeuchi type I stable hinge fracture (p < 0.05); unstable fracture was not noted in either group. Plate irritation occurred in nine knees (19%) of the uniplane group and in 14 knees (32%) of the biplane group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In clinical situations including the use of surgical modifications reflecting plate design differences, fewer lateral-hinge fractures developed after uniplane medial opening-wedge HTO compared with biplane HTO. Uniplane HTO potentially represents a better option than biplane HTO for the prevention of lateral-hinge fracture. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Theoretical considerations suggest that total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is technically more challenging after high tibial osteotomy (HTO), resulting in inferior results compared to primary TKA. However, several studies on this issue have shown contradictory results. The purpose of this meta-analysis to compare survivorship and clinical outcomes between TKA with and without previous HTO. METHODS: We reviewed studies that evaluated pain and function scores, range of motion (ROM), operation time, Insall-Salvati (IS) ratio, complications, and survival rates in patients treated with TKA with previous HTO or with primary TKA with short- to midterm (<10 years) or long-term (>10 years) follow-up. RESULTS: Fifteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences between TKA with and without previous HTO in pain score (95% CI: -0.27 to 0.29; P = .94), function score (95% CI: -0.08 to 0.24; P = .32), operation time (95% CI: -5.43 to 26.85; P = .19), IS ratio (95% CI: -0.03 to 0.08; P = .40), complication rates (TKA with previous HTO, 62/1717; primary TKA, 610/31386; OR 1.31, 95% CI: 0.97-1.77; P = .08), and short- to midterm survival rates (TKA with previous HTO, 1860/2009; primary TKA, 37848/38765; OR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.28-1.10; P = .09). Conversely, ROM (95% CI: -7.40 to -1.26; P = .006) and long-term survival rates (TKA with previous HTO, 1426/1523; primary TKA, 29810/31201; OR 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57-0.89; P = .003) were significantly different between the two groups. In addition, both groups had substantial proportions of knees exhibiting short- to midterm survivorship (92.6% by TKA with previous HTO and 97.6% by primary TKA) and long-term survivorship (93.6% by TKA with previous HTO and 95.5% by primary TKA). CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that a previous HTO affected ROM or survival of TKA in the long-term even though both groups have equivalent clinical outcomes and complications. Thus, orthopedic surgeons should offer useful information regarding the advantages and disadvantages of both procedures to patients, and should provide advice on the generally higher risk of revision after TKA with previous HTO at long-term follow-up when counseling patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic treatments for popliteal cysts with and without cystectomy. METHODS: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, KoreaMed, and Cochrane Library were searched from the earliest available date of indexing through August 2016. The methodological quality of all articles was assessed according to the Coleman methodology score (CMS). Studies were grouped according to the surgical method, and a meta-analysis was conducted to identify the unsuccessful clinical outcome and complication rates. RESULTS: Nine studies were included; the mean CMS was 67.33 (standard deviation, 8.75 points). Cystectomy was reported in five studies; cystectomy was not performed in four studies. The odds ratio of unsuccessful clinical outcomes evaluated by Rauschning and Lindgren score was 122.05 (p<0.001) with cystectomy and 58.12 (p<0.001) without cystectomy. The effect size of complications was 0.16 (p<0.001) with cystectomy and 0.03 (p<0.001) without cystectomy. The recurrence rate was 0% with cystectomy and 6.4% without cystectomy. CONCLUSIONS: All the currently available studies showed satisfactory outcomes in both with and without cystectomy groups. However, arthroscopic cystectomy concurrently performed with management of intra-articular lesions was associated with a relatively low recurrence rate and a relatively high incidence of complications.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We aimed to determine whether navigated opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is superior to the conventional technique in terms of accuracy of the coronal and sagittal alignment correction, functional outcome, and operative time. METHODS: Studies comparing navigated and conventional HTO were included in this meta-analysis. We compared the incidence of radiological outliers in coronal alignment and tibial slope maintenance, mean differences in functional outcome scales, and operative time. Subgroup analyses were performed on coronal alignment accuracy based on the intraoperative method of alignment confirmation: fluoroscopy vs. gap measurement method. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included: there were 434 knees in the navigated HTO studies and 405 knees in the conventional HTO studies. The risk of outlier was lower in navigated HTO than in conventional HTO; however, the difference was not significant when navigated HTO was compared with conventional HTO performed using the gap measurement method. Tibial slope maintenance was comparable or better in navigated HTO. No difference was found in the American Knee Society function and Lysholm scores. Navigated HTO necessitated a longer operative time of approximately 10 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The use of navigation in HTO can improve accuracy in both coronal and sagittal alignments, but its clinical benefit is unclear.

RESUMO

An adequate stable fixation implant should be used for medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) to promote rapid bone healing without complications. To date, the highest fixation stability has been observed for angular stable locking plates. However, there is still little medical literature regarding breakage of these plates. The purpose of the present study was to report the results of plate breakage around D-hole with the use of both types of locking plate fixation for MOWHTO.Medical records of 12 patients who experienced plate breakage after MOWHTO with either a TomoFix or OhtoFix plate between August 2013 and August 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.A total of 12 patients (7 males and 5 females) who experienced plate breakage at the screw hole just above the osteotomy were evaluated (age, 63 ±â€Š8 years; body mass index (BMI), 28 ±â€Š2 kg/m; opening gap height, 12 ±â€Š2 mm). There were 9 patients (75%) with plate breakage and loss of correction necessitating revision surgery, and 11 patients (92%) had lateral cortical hinge fractures postoperatively. Of the 9 patients with loss of correction necessitating revision surgery, 4 had a TomoFix plate and 5 had an OhtoFix plate. The only statistically significant association with broken plates lost reduction was the presence of lateral cortical hinge fractures (P = .003), but there was no significant association with age, gender, BMI, diabetes, smoking, plate type, opening gap height, and material used to fill the wedge. In addition, mean knee society score in the 12 patients was significantly higher postoperatively than preoperatively (P < .001).Since the amount of plate breakage was just over 1% and with only 12 in total, no true conclusion can be made with certainty. However, in the face of no lateral hinge or cortical disruption, there is a 99% success rate with the plate described. If the lateral hinge is disrupted, a restriction of activity or weight bearing may be needed.

RESUMO

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to review the use of an allograft or autograft in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Various electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published from January 2000 to September 2017 that evaluated clinical outcomes of MPFL reconstruction using an autograft or allograft. Data search, extraction, analysis, and quality assessments were performed based on Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. RESULTS: The study of 21 autografts and one allograft was included in this review. Although direct comparative studies were unavailable, the Kujala score and subjective results were reported in the majority of these studies. While the use of an autograft for MPFL reconstruction yielded satisfactory clinical outcomes with few perioperative complications, no new outcome has been drawn from the use of allografts. CONCLUSIONS: Although many studies have shown favorable clinical results for MPFL reconstruction using an autograft, the clinical results of MPFL reconstruction using an allograft have not yet been sufficient to achieve meaningful clinical results due to low levels of evidence. Direct comparisons were not conducted because there were very few studies on allografts; thus, further research in this area should be performed in the future.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the classification scheme for osteoarthritis severity grading that most closely correlates with postoperative clinical outcomes and to identify the positive and negative prognostic factors for medial open-wedge high-tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). METHODS: Seventy-nine consecutive patients with primary varus osteoarthritis were treated using OWHTO. Arthritic grading was determined by arthroscopic assessment according to the modified Outerbridge classification and by radiographic classification according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading scale on standing anteroposterior (AP) and 45° posteroanterior (PA) flexion weight-bearing radiography. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), which was evaluated both preoperatively and at the postoperative 2-year follow-up after OWHTO. Multivariate regression analyses were used to explore and quantify the influence of baseline patient demographics, variables related to arthroscopic and radiological grades of arthritis, as well as postoperative alignment changes on the OKS. RESULTS: At the 2-year follow-up, the mean OKS had improved from 20 ± 4 to 39 ± 5 points (p < 0.001). The average mechanical femorotibial and mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) changed from 6.9° ± 3.4° to valgus 2.7° ± 2.8° and from 85.6° ± 2.4° to 92.9° ± 3.7° (all p < 0.001). The osteoarthritis severity grade based on the KL scale was 2.4 ± 0.9 on standing AP radiography, 2.8 ± 0.9 on 45° PA flexion weight-bearing radiography (p = 0.003), and 3.4 ± 0.7 according to the modified Outerbridge classification. In the multivariate analyses, the KL grade on 45° PA flexion weight-bearing radiography (p = 0.01) and postoperative MPTA (p = 0.01) showed significant negative correlations with postoperative OKS at the 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSION: The KL grading system based on 45° PA flexion weight-bearing radiography showed the strongest significant negative correlation with postoperative OKS after the OWHTO procedure using three different common OA classification schemes, which should be considered to determine the surgical indication of HTO. The KL grading system based on 45° PA flexion weight-bearing radiography showed the strongest correlation with high-tibial osteotomy-surgical indications and the counselling of patients with advanced osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the location of the hinge affects the incidence of hinge fracture during medial closing-wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFVO). Twenty knees from 10 fresh-frozen human cadavers (mean age, 75 ± 17 years) were used to perform uniplanar medial closing-wedge DFVO with a 7-mm wedge. Each specimen was randomly assigned to either group A (supracondylar hinge) or group B (lateral condylar hinge). The incidence of hinge fracture and stability was compared between both groups after uniplanar medial closing-wedge DFVO. In group A, 8 of 10 knees had a lateral cortex fracture during closure of the osteotomy gap, and all fractured knees were unstable. Two knees with an intact lateral cortical hinge showed stability under manual valgus and varus forces. After intentional breakage of the lateral cortical hinge, both knees were found to be unstable under the same force. In group B, 2 of 10 knees had a lateral cortex fracture, and 8 knees had no fractures. All specimens were found to be stable under manual valgus and varus forces. After intentional breakage of the lateral cortical hinge in group B, 2 knees were unstable, while 8 knees remained stable. This study showed a significantly higher incidence of lateral cortical hinge fracture and instability in group A than in group B during closure of the osteotomy gap.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study was designed to analyze the relationship between changes in posterior tibial slope and the absence or presence of lateral hinge fracture, diagnosed in the sagittal and axial planes, as well as the coronal plane, by computed tomography (CT) following opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). METHODS: This study involved 55 patients (55 knees) undergoing opening wedge HTO for primary medial osteoarthritis. Lateral hinge fractures were evaluated on CT scans according to the Takeuchi classification and were also classified as subtypes A, B, and C, depending on anterior, posterior, and both anterior and posterior cortical disruptions, respectively, as determined by the sagittal and axial planes of CT scans which corresponded to the fracture line visible on coronal CT scans. RESULTS: Of the 55 knees, 23 were found on postoperative CT scans to have lateral hinge fractures. All 23 were classified as Type I, with 11, 12, and 0 being subtypes A, B, and C, respectively. Mean change in posterior tibial slope from 3 weeks postoperatively to last follow up in subtype B was significantly greater than in subtype A (2.5° vs 0.2°, P = 0.008) and in knees without hinge fracture (2.5° vs 0.1°, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Type I lateral hinge fractures encroached either the anterior or posterior cortex of the proximal tibia, but not both. In addition, posterior tibial slope increased over time following surgery in knees with Type I lateral hinge fracture and posterior cortex breakage, suggesting that caution should be exercised when deciding the starting time for weight bearing in such patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Case series, Level IV.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcomes between the open posterior approach and arthroscopic suture fixation for displaced posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures. METHODS: A literature search was performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases. The inclusion criteria were as follows: papers written in English on displaced PCL avulsion fractures, clinical trial(s) with clear description of surgical technique, adult subjects, a follow-up longer than 12 months and modified Coleman methodology score (CMS) more than 60 points. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included with a mean CMS value of 72.4 (standard deviation, 7.6). Overall, 134 patients underwent the open posterior approach with a minimum 12-month follow-up, and 174 patients underwent arthroscopic suture fixation. At final follow-up, the range of Lysholm score was 85-100 for the open approach and 80-100 for the arthroscopic approach. Patients who were rated as normal or nearly normal in the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee assessment were 92%-100% for the open approach and 90%-100% for the arthroscopic approach. The range of side-to-side difference was 0-5 mm for both approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Both arthroscopic and open methods for the treatment of PCL tibial-side avulsion injuries resulted in comparably good clinical outcomes, radiological healing, and stable knees.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of no bone graft (NBG) after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with a locking plate and to compare the bone union rate between the synthetic bone graft (SBG) group and the NBG group after OWHTO using serial radiographs. METHODS: From 2012 to 2015, OWHTOs were performed with SBG or without bone graft using long locking plates. Inclusion criteria were: (1) OWHTO for disease of the medial compartment with varus deformity, and (2) minimum 2-year follow-up and radiographs taken serially to 2 years. Exclusion criteria were: (1) follow-up period <2 years (n = 8) or (2) absence of at least 1 radiograph taken at each follow-up point (n = 14). We retrospectively reviewed radiographs taken preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. Groups comprised those filled with a synthetic bone [hydroxyapatite (HA) and ß-tricalciumphosphate (TCP), n=33, SBG group] or without a bone graft (n = 38, NBG group). We compared bone union rate between the 2 groups by measuring the union zone from zone 1 to zone 5 in serial radiographs using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: OWHTO was performed in a total of 93 knees and 71 knees were included in this study. Both groups showed good clinical and radiological results without correction loss at 2 years. The entire NBG group and 93.9% of the SBG group showed union over zone 3 at 2 years. However, the NBG group showed significantly more incorporation than the SBG group at 6 months (P = .006), 1 year (P = .0003), and 2 years (P = .0003). CONCLUSIONS: Union without correction loss was obtained after OWHTO without bone graft. The NBG group showed significantly more incorporation than the SBG group (HA and ß-TCP) within 2 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy (CWDFO)-combined with medial reefing and lateral release, if necessary- has been used to treat recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) with genu valgum. PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of surgical treatment with CWDFO for treatment of RPD with genu valgum. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Fourteen consecutive patients (23 knees) with RPD and genu valgum were treated with CWDFO. Patients with a minimum 2-year follow-up period were eligible for this study. Patients with prior failed surgery were also eligible. Radiographic evaluation was performed with mechanical femorotibial and lateral distal femoral angle. The radiographic parameters presenting patellar positions and pathologic abnormalities associated with RPD were evaluated. Chondral lesion changes in second-look arthroscopic examination were examined, and clinical outcomes (eg, occurrence of redislocation, range of motion, and clinical scores) were assessed pre- and postoperatively at a minimum of 2 years. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 30.7 months (range, 25-62 months), the mean mechanical femorotibial and mechanical lateral distal femoral angles changed significantly from valgus 5° (range, 2°-11°) to varus 3° (2°-11°; P < .001) and from 83° (range, 78°-86°) to 89° (84°-92°; P < .001), respectively. The mean patellar congruence angle improved from 40° lateral (range, 20°-53° lateral) to 4° medial (23° medial to 21° lateral; P < .001), as did the lateral patellofemoral angle from 26° (range, 8°-62°) to 9° (0°-15°; P < .001). Computed tomography scans showed that the mean distance of patellar lateral shift decreased from 13.5 mm (range, 4-22 mm) to 2.0 mm (-4 to 5 mm; P < .001). The mean tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance significantly decreased from 20.4 to 13.5 mm ( P < .001), while the Caton-Deschamps ratio did not change significantly after surgery ( P = .984). Chondral lesions of the patella and trochlear groove significantly improved or were maintained. None of the patients experienced subluxation or redislocation after surgery. Patellar instability symptoms also improved, as validated by radiographic and other clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION: CWDFO combined with medial reefing and lateral release successfully treated RPD with genu valgum for a minimum follow-up of 2 years, with improved patellar alignment and stability.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this review is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between open and closed wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFO). METHODS: A literature search of online databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library database) was made in addition to manual search of major orthopedic journals. Data were searched from the time period of January 1990 to October 2016. A modified Coleman Methodology Score system was used to assess the methodologic quality of the included studies. A total of 20 studies were included in the review. All studies were level IV evidence. RESULTS: Comparative analysis of open and closed wedge DFO did not demonstrate clinical and radiological differences. The survival rates were also similar. Five studies (56%) on open wedge DFO mentioned the need for either bone grafting or substitute for osteotomy gap filling and reported higher incidences of reoperation for plate removal than the closed wedge DFO studies. CONCLUSIONS: The present systematic review showed similar performance between open and closed wedge DFO. Outcomes including survival rates were not statistically significantly different. However, additional bone grafting or substitutes were often needed to prevent delayed union or nonunion for open wedge techniques. Additional operations for plate removal were commonly required due to plate irritation in both techniques.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) procedures lead to better clinical outcomes than medial MAT. HYPOTHESIS: The survival rates are similar between medial and lateral MAT, but the clinical outcomes of lateral MAT are better than those of medial MAT at final follow-up. STUDY DESIGN: Meta-analysis. METHODS: In this meta-analysis, we reviewed studies that assessed survival rates in patients who underwent medial or lateral MAT with more than 5 years of follow-up and that used assessments such as pain and Lysholm scores to compare postoperative scores on knee outcome scales. The survival time was considered as the time to conversion to knee arthroplasty and/or subtotal resection of the allograft. RESULTS: A total of 9 studies (including 287 knees undergoing surgery using medial MAT and 407 with lateral MAT) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail. The proportion of knees in which midterm (5-10 years) survival rates (medial, 97/113; lateral, 108/121; odds ratio [OR] 0.71; 95% CI, 0.31-1.64; P = .42) and long-term (>10 years) survival rates (medial, 303/576; lateral, 456/805; OR 0.78; 95% CI, 0.52-1.17; P = .22) were evaluated did not differ significantly between medial and lateral MAT. In addition, both groups had substantial proportions of knees exhibiting midterm survivorship (85.8% for medial MAT and 89.2% for lateral MAT) but much lower proportions of knees exhibiting long-term survivorship (52.6% for medial MAT and 56.6% for lateral MAT). In contrast, overall pain score (medial, 65.6 points; lateral, 71.3 points; 95% CI, -3.95 to -0.87; P = .002) and Lysholm score (medial, 67.5 points; lateral, 72.0 points; 95% CI, -10.17 to -3.94; P < .00001) were significantly higher for lateral MAT compared with medial MAT. CONCLUSION: Meta-analysis indicated that 85.8% of medial and 89.2% of lateral meniscal allograft transplants survive at midterm (5-10 years) while 52.6% of medial and 56.6% of lateral meniscal allograft transplants survive long term (>10 years). Patients undergoing lateral meniscal allograft transplantation demonstrated greater pain relief and functional improvement than patients undergoing medial meniscal allograft transplantations.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective comparative study was to evaluate and compare, radiographically and clinically, progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in the patellofemoral (PF) compartment after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) over a minimum follow-up of 5 years. METHODS: In this study, 42 knees in an OWHTO group were compared with 59 knees in a UKA group in terms of radiographic parameters, such as the grading system for OA progression in the PF compartment, and clinical parameters, such as the PF pain and function scores over a minimum follow-up of 5 years. RESULTS: There was no significant difference of OA progression in the PF compartment between the two groups on knee radiography. Compared with the preoperative grades, the UKA group showed significant progression of OA in the medial PF compartment at the final follow-up, whereas the medial PF compartment showed significant stepwise progression by only one grade when compared to the OWHTO group. The PF pain and function scores showed no statistical differences between the two groups at the final follow-up, regardless of OA progression. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference between OWHTO and UKA in terms of progression of OA in the PF compartment or deterioration of PF function score over a minimum follow-up of 5 years. However, the medial PF compartment of the UKA group was minimal, and worsened or progressed by only one grade. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The effect of sagittal plane angle of the tibial tunnel on the severity of tibial intra-articular aperture expansion caused by iatrogenic re-reaming in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a modified transtibial technique is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of intra-articular aperture widening at different angles (40°, 45°, and 50°) of the tibial guide (TG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-seven patients who underwent modified transtibial ACL reconstruction were randomly allocated to TG 40°, 45°, and 50° groups. Intra-articular tibial aperture width (TW) and tibial tunnel length (TTL) were measured intraoperatively using an arthroscopic ruler and a depth gauge. RESULTS: The TG 50° group had significantly greater tibial aperture widening than the TG 40° group. There was a significant difference among TG 40°, 45°, and 50° groups and the percentage of knees with TTL <35 mm was 8%, 9% and 3%, respectively. There were 2 females with TTL <35 mm in TG 40° and 45° groups each. The average mediolateral length of the tibial plateau was 75 mm. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the TG angle of 40° would reduce the severity of intra-articular aperture widening of the tibial tunnel compared to 45° or 50° in modified transtibial ACL reconstruction.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to determine whether the locking plate or non-locking plate results in better opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) outcomes. METHODS: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and KOREAMED register databases were searched for studies. The eligibility criteria for inclusion in the review were studies that compared the locking plate with the non-locking plate for OWHTO, and those that provided clear descriptions of surgical techniques and outcomes. The key outcomes of interest were union rate, correction loss angle, correction loss rate, and full weight-bearing starting point. The statistical software "RevMan" was used in statistical analysis. RESULTS: Five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Among their reported results, there were no differences in the incidence of union [risk ratio (RR) = 1.01, p = 0.34], non-locking plate was associated with lower incidence of correction maintenance (RR = 1.13, p = 0.0006) and greater angle of correction loss [mean difference (MD) = -2.06, p < 0.00001], and locking plate was associated with a significant improvement in Knee society score and function score (MD = 5.77, p < 0.0001; MD = 7.50, p = 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: Locking plate provides better clinical outcomes and reduced correction loss rates and angles as compared to non-locking plate for fixation with OWHTO. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
