ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has regained interest for its potential for long-term biologic fixation. The density of the bone is related to its ability to resist static and cyclic loading and can affect long-term implant fixation; however, little is known about the density distribution of periarticular bone in TKA patients. Thus, we sought to characterize the bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal tibia in TKA patients.

METHODS:

We included 42 women and 50 men (mean age 63 years, range 50 to 87; mean body mass index 31.6, range 20.5 to 49.1) who underwent robotic-assisted TKA and had preoperative computed tomography scans with a BMD calibration phantom. Using the robotic surgical plan, we computed the BMD distribution at 1 mm-spaced cross-sections parallel to the tibial cut from 2 mm above the cut to 10 mm below. The BMD was analyzed with respect to patient sex, age, preoperative alignment, and type of fixation.

RESULTS:

The BMD decreased from proximal to distal. The greatest changes occurred within ± 2 mm of the tibial cut. Age did not affect BMD for men; however, women between 60 and 70 years had higher BMD than women ≥ 70 years for the total cut (P = .03) and the medial half of the cut (P = .03). Cemented implants were used in 1 86-year-old man and 18 women (seven < 60 years, seven 60 to 70 years, and four ≥ 70 year old). We found only BMD differences between cemented or cementless fixation for women < 60 years.

CONCLUSIONS:

To our knowledge, this is the first study to characterize the preoperative BMD distribution in TKA patients relative to the intraoperative tibial cut. Our results indicate that while sex and age may be useful surrogates of BMD, the clinically relevant thresholds for cementless knees remain unclear, offering an area for future studies.
