To understand better the type and incidence of long-term complications in total knee replacement, 306 primary Kinematic total knee arthroplasties performed between June 1978 and December 1982 were prospectively reviewed in detail. The Kinematic knee is a nonconstrained, posterior cruciate-retaining prosthesis that has right and left femoral components to afford anatomic tracking of the patella. The overall revision rate was 6.5%. The most common cause for revision surgery was patellar complications. Ten revisions (3.06%) were for patellar component loosening. Two knees were revised for patella subluxation (0.65%); 1 was in a resurfaced rheumatoid patella, and 1 in an unsurfaced osteoarthritic patella. Stair climbing was better with an unsurfaced patella. Anterior knee pain was 21.8% in the unsurfaced patella and 11.2% in the replaced patella. These data suggest patella replacement is not appropriate with this design.  相似文献

Patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty is a topic debated in the literature. Concerns include fracture, dislocation, loosening, and extensor mechanism injury. Residual anterior knee pain has been reported when the patella is not resurfaced. One hundred patients with osteoarthritic knees were prospectively randomized to either have their patella resurfaced or left not resurfaced. All patients were treated with a single prosthesis that featured an anatomically designed patellofemoral articulation (Anatomic Medullary Knee, DePuy, Warsaw, IN) Two patients in the unresurfaced group and one in the resurfaced group required repeat surgery for patellofemoral complications. At 8- to 10-year follow-up evaluations, Knee Society Clinical Ratings scores were not different between the 2 groups. Rates of anterior knee pain with walking and stair climbing were significantly less in the resurfaced group. Eighty percent of patients with a resurfaced patella were extremely satisfied with their total knee arthroplasty versus 48% without patellar resurfacing. When satisfied and extremely satisfied patients were grouped together, there was no difference between the 2 groups.  相似文献

The controversy over whether or not to routinely resurface the patella during a total knee arthroplasty has persisted despite three decades of successful joint replacement procedures. Advocates for routine patellar resurfacing admit the occasional need for secondary patellar resurfacing and declare increased incidence of anterior knee pain in patients with non‐resurfaced patellae as a cause for worry. Surgeons that leave the patella unresurfaced cite avoidance of complications that include patellar fracture, avascular necrosis, patellar tendon injury and instability. This review discusses the available literature on patellar resurfacing through an evidence‐based analysis of randomized and pseudo‐randomized controlled trials and published meta‐analyses to date. The published literature seems to favour resurfacing the patellar routinely. Selective patellar resurfacing would be the ideal solution if sound pre‐operative criteria could be established. So far, a method for accurately predicting which patients can avoid patellar resurfacing has not been found. Future research looking at patellar resurfacing should concentrate on developing criteria for selecting those patients that would benefit from patellar resurfacing and those that would do as well without resurfacing, and thus, limiting potential surgical complications.  相似文献

Patellofemoral resurfacing at total knee arthroplasty   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A retrospective review of 268 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with a mean follow-up of four years is presented. The patellae were resurfaced in all cases. There were six complications (2.2%) referable to the patellofemoral articulation: three subluxations, one patellar fracture, one loosening of a metal-backed patellar component, and one patellar tendon avulsion. Successful patellofemoral resurfacing (PFR) can be accomplished with minimal complications if the following technical considerations are met: 5-7 degrees of valgus alignment; medial placement of the patellar component; taking care not to increase either the AP diameter of the knee or the thickness of the patella; avoiding internal rotation of either the tibial or femoral components and proper soft tissue balancing. A thorough review of patellofemoral complications after TKA is presented, and technical considerations relevant to the successful performance of PFR are discussed.  相似文献

A consecutive series of 80 patients with 110 press-fit metal-backed rotating platform patella resurfacing surgeries were reviewed at an average of 107 months followup (range, 84-167 months). Twenty-eight patients died before followup. Fifty-two patients (70 patellae) were available for clinical and radiographic followups. One patella was revised for failure of the patella component. Four patellae were revised along with revision of the knee replacement. One patella realignment procedure was done for recurrent subluxation of the patella. There were no patellar dislocations in this series, no patella fractures, and no disruption of the quadriceps tendon or infrapatellar ligament. Six patellae had subluxation seen on postoperative radiographs. The incidence of patellar tilt greater than 5 degrees was 13%. No patellae were considered radiographically loose. The incidence of radiolucencies was 37%. Subsidence of the component superiorly was identified in 39% of the patellae, and inferiorly in 36% of the patellae. Of the 49 patients (67 knees) returning for followup, 70% of the knees were rated as excellent, 10% were rated good, 15% were rated fair, and 5% were rated poor. Press-fit metal-backed patella provided good component durability with only one revision because of component failure. Radiographic analyses showed a high incidence of subsidence associated with good clinical results.  相似文献

While controversy persists, scientific evidence favoring patellar resurfacing in primary TKA is abundant. The literature demonstrates a substantially higher incidence of anterior knee pain and reoperation rates if the patella is not resurfaced primarily. Prospective, randomized studies have reported reoperation rates to convert unresurfaced patellas to resurfaced patellas exceed those for complications after patellar resurfacing. When resurfacing the patella, strict surgical principles are paramount to avoid complications. These include duplicating the original patella thickness, maintaining the patellar blood supply, achieving central patellar tracking, and properly positioning the femoral, tibial, and patellar components. Optimum prosthetic design features for patella resurfacing include an anatomic, asymmetric trochlear groove that is broad, extended, (distally and posteriorly) and deeper compared with first-generation designs.  相似文献

Patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Technical errors in patellar resurfacing at the time of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are responsible for many of the complications that affect the patellofemoral joint. Instability, patellar fracture, and wear of metal-backed patellar implants are significantly affected by errors of patellar resurfacing. A review of 50 TKAs using a condylar prosthesis and a standardized technique for patellar resurfacing was performed to evaluate the accuracy of the technique. The patients were evaluated at a mean of 2.5 years (range, two to five years) after surgery. The Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score improved from a preoperative mean of 56 to 92 at the last evaluation. The Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Scores were excellent in 92% and good in 8%. The Knee Society Knee Score improved from a preoperative mean of 28 for pain and 49 for function to a last evaluation mean of 96 for pain and 85 for function. None of the patients had symptoms referable to the patellofemoral joint. There were no patellar fractures, dislocations, or instances of implant loosening of the patella. Roentgenograms revealed nine asymmetrically resurfaced patellae and five tilted patellae. There were no patellar subluxations. Patellar thickness was maintained at the preoperative level of 21 mm. Joint-line height was elevated 1 mm. The patellar height was decreased 2 mm from the preoperative height. Using a standard technique, satisfactory clinical results can be achieved, but minor errors in resurfacing and alignment will still occur.  相似文献

The patella in total knee arthroplasty.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Controversy persists as to whether the patella should be resurfaced in total knee arthroplasty. Can the good results of patellar cartilage against the metal femoral component be expected to endure? Attention to technique can be expected to reduce some of the complications of resurfacing, notably fracture, rupture, and instability. Component breakage results from metal-backed designs, and the causes of patellar clunks have not been fully understood.  相似文献

In a series of 647 total knee arthroplasties, the patella was not resurfaced if bony geometry of the patella was good enough to maintain good congruency of the patella undersurface to the femoral component and the patella was tracking normally at the femoral component groove at the time of surgery. Three hundred seventy-two total knee arthroplasties were done with a femoral component that had the same geometry as the original total condylar prosthesis. None of these knees resulted in patellar catching, whether the patella was resurfaced or not. Two hundred seventy-five total knee arthroplasties were done with a more contemporary femoral component with wider intercondylar space and shorter posterior extension of the intercondylar notch. Eleven of these 275 knees demonstrated catching of the patella at 60° to 90° of flexion when the knee was tested from flexion to extension during the surgery. All of these 11 knees did not have patellar resurfacing during surgery at first. Of these 11 knees with patellar catching noted during surgery, at first, patellar catching was eliminated with patellar resurfacing in 4 and by shaving of the superior pole of the patella in 7. None of the knees with the patella resurfacing in this series showed patellar catching.  相似文献

BackgroundCurrently, the decision to resurface the patella is often made irrespective of the presence of patellar arthritis. The purpose of this study is to utilize the existing literature to assess cost-utility of routinely vs selectively resurfacing the patella.MethodsProspective randomized studies of patella resurfacing vs non-resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were identified through literature review. Data from these studies represented probabilities of varied outcomes following TKA dependent upon patella resurfacing. Using previously validated utility scores from the McKnee modified Health Utilities Index, endpoint utility values were provided for each potential outcome.ResultsLiterature review yielded a total of 14 studies with 3,562 patients receiving 3,823 TKAs, of which 1,873 (49.0%) patellae were resurfaced. Persistent postoperative anterior knee pain occurred in 20.9% vs 13.2% (P < .001) and patella reoperation was performed in 3.7% vs 1.6% (P < .001) of unresurfaced and resurfaced patella, respectively. In studies excluding those with arthritic patellae, the incidence of anterior knee pain was equivalent between groups and reoperation decreased to 1.2% vs 0% (P = .06). Patella resurfacing provided marginally improved quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) for both selective and indiscriminate patella resurfacing. When including all studies, the incremental cost per QALY was $3,032. However, when analyzing only those studies with nonarthritic patellae, the incremental cost per QALY to resurface the patella increased to $183,584.ConclusionPatellar resurfacing remains a controversial issue in TKA. Utilizing data from new prospective randomized studies, this analysis finds that routinely resurfacing arthritis-free patellae in TKA are not cost-effective.  相似文献

Asymmetric patella resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Three hundred consecutive primary, cemented, condylar total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were reviewed for the presence of asymmetric patella resurfacing using a postoperative Merchant or sunrise patellar radiograph. Twenty-one knees in 14 patients were found to have the patella asymmetrically resurfaced. Asymmetric resurfacing typically involved the inadvertent preferential resurfacing of the lateral facet with underresection of bone from the medial patellar facet. All patients underwent follow-up for a minimum of 5 years, with a mean follow-up of 7.5 years. Of the 21 knees, 3 revisions were required for patellar complications. One patellar component was loose on radiographs and there was marked patellofemoral pain in 6 knees. Overall, 11 of 21 knees (52%) underwent revision or were recommended for revision for patellar complications or had anterior knee pain that limited activities. Inadvertent asymmetric patella resurfacing using the kinematic condylar implant adversely affects the outcome after TKA.  相似文献

Extensor mechanism complications following total knee arthroplasty   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Extensor mechanism complications following 281 knee arthroplasties that included patellar resurfacing, performed by two surgeons in one hospital over a 6-year period, were reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 42 months. There were 28 (10%) extensor mechanism complications: 3 quadriceps tendon ruptures, 5 patellar fractures, 4 patellar tendon ruptures, 11 recurring patellar subluxations, 4 cases of patellar pain, and 1 malrotated patella. Nine (3%) required further surgery. Surgical technique may have contributed to the tendon ruptures; patellar fractures occurred mainly in patients who had rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with patellar subluxation had abnormal preoperative valgus deformities of their knees and presented with this subluxation problem an average of 4 months after surgery, but it appeared to cause them less discomfort with time. Patellar resurfacing as part of a knee arthroplasty procedure is recommended but should be performed with care to the integrity and vasculature of the extensor mechanism.  相似文献

The management of the patella in total knee arthroplasty still causes controversy. Whether or not to resurface the patella in primary total knee arthroplasty remains unclear. In this study we examined 220 consecutive total knee replacements, by a single surgeon, where the patella was routinely resurfaced using the inset technique. All patellae were suitable for resurfacing. Patellar thickness was not altered in 54.5% of patellae. In 97.2% the patella was within 2 mm of the original thickness. There were no significant complications. In this study we have found that the inset technique of patella resurfacing in total knee replacement is a simple and safe resurfacing procedure.  相似文献

The role of patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The ideal treatment of the patella in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear. Although data exist in the literature to support either resurfacing or not resurfacing the patella, evidence continues to emerge that unresurfaced patellas deteriorate with time. Recent prospective, randomized studies also favor patellar resurfacing over retaining the native patella, reporting reoperation rates to convert unresurfaced to resurfaced patellas exceeding those for complications after patellar resurfacing. In addition, the incidence of residual patellofemoral pain after secondary resurfacing is substantially higher than when patellofemoral resurfacing is done primarily. Patient selection criteria are critical in the decision-making process. Patellofemoral complications, the greatest argument against resurfacing, have been diminished with improved surgical techniques and implant design.  相似文献

The patellar component of total knee replacement is the most frequent source of nonseptic complications after total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of the current study was to review the radiographic factors associated with loosening of all-polyethylene patellar components. Four thousand five hundred eighty-three cases of Anatomic Graduated Components total knee replacements were performed at the authors' institution during the past 15 years. Radiographs were reviewed and loosening was defined as global radiolucency or component migration. Four thousand two hundred eighty-seven allpolyethylene patellar components were implanted. There were 180 (4.2%) loose all-polyethylene patellar components. The mean time to loosening was 2.6 years (+/- 1.75 years). Fifteen (0.3%) patellar components required revision. Five radiographic features were associated with failure. The incidence and mean time of appearance were recorded: (number; incidence; time) (1) Bone-cement radiolucency, n = 174, 96.7%, 1.4 years; (2) increased density, n = 118, 65.6%, 1.8 years; (3) trabecular collapse of the bone, n = 160, 88.9%, 2.3 years; (4) patella fracture and fragmentation, n = 133, 73.9%, 2.5 years; and (5) lateral subluxation of the residual patella bone, n = 146, 81.1%, 2.9 years. Lateral retinacular release was associated with an increased rate of patellar loosening. Loosening of the allpolyethylene patella component is an avascular process strongly associated with lateral retinacular release and for which the patient infrequently requires revision surgery.  相似文献

This study was conceived to quantify variables in surgical technique that may lead to patellar fracture after total knee arthroplasty. Anterior surface strain on load-bearing cadaveric patellae was measured before and after patellar resurfacing or inset prosthesis placement. Variables studied were i) the type of prosthesis (resurfacing vs inset), ii) the depth of reaming or osteotomy during surface preparation, and iii) the overall thickness of the polyethylene/patella composite after implantation. Comparison of measured patellar surface strain patterns for the different prosthesis styles, which were implanted at varying depths, provided statistically significant data from which the following clinically relevant conclusions can be made: i) Patellar resurfacing is superior to inset prosthesis placement when comparing postoperative patellar strain (22% vs 28% increase in strain compared with preoperative values). ii) Osteotomy for patellar resurfacing is more tolerant to error by excess cutting than is reaming for inset prosthesis placement (25% vs 42% increase in strain with a 2-mm error). iii) If the ideal depth of cut or reaming is surpassed, attempts to re-create the original patellar thickness by using a thicker prosthesis are mechanically detrimental. Key words: patella, strain, resurfacing, complications.  相似文献

Of a consecutive series of 144 Attenborough knee replacements, 107 were re-examined between two and six years after operation and revealed a high incidence of complications. Wound problems were common and led to deep infection in four knees. When a patellar implant was used fracture of the patella followed in 17.5% of knees, but when the patella was not resurfaced 16% of knees developed patellofemoral pain of sufficient severity to require a further operation. In 10% of knees, definite loosening of one or both of the major components occurred.  相似文献

Patellar complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have begun to emerge as a major cause of failure. In an effort to understand some of the mechanical factors that might contribute to patellar component failure, a biomechanical study was performed. Quadriceps force and anterior patellar strain were measured during dynamic flexion in 10 fresh, paired human cadaver knee joints. First, tests were performed in the intact knee, followed by either posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention or sacrifice of TKA without patellar resurfacing. Tests were then performed following patellar resurfacing with an overly thick, optimum and thin, bony patella. Patellar strain increased in each specimen (with flexion angles of up to 80 degrees), was most pronounced as the bony patella became thinner, was closest to the intact knee when the patella was not resurfaced, and was unaffected by PCL retention or sacrifice. Patellar osteotomy, resulting in a bony patellar thickness of less than 15 mm, resulted in significantly increased strain. TKA systems should include instrumentation that allows precise restoration of overall patellar thickness while maintaining a bony patellar thickness of at least 15 mm.  相似文献

The arthroscopic lateral retinacular release is typically performed to treat patellar pain and instability. This procedure was previously considered to be relatively benign with a low associated complication rate. However, a high incidence of medial subluxation of the patella was recently reported in patients with persistent symptoms after lateral retinacular release. Because the use of physical examination criteria may not always be sufficient to assess patellar alignment, 40 patients (43 knees) were evaluated by the newly developed technique of kinematic magnetic resonance imaging of the patellofemoral joint. One (2%) patellofemoral joint had normal patellar alignment, 10 (23%) had lateral subluxation of the patella, 1 (2%) had excessive lateral pressure syndrome, 27 (63%) had medial subluxation of the patella, and 4 (9%) had lateral-to-medial subluxation of the patella. Seventeen of 40 patients (43%) with unilateral arthroscopic lateral retinacular releases had medially subluxated patellae on the unoperated joints. Because patellar malalignment commonly affects bilateral joints, medial subluxation of the patella may have been present before the lateral retinacular release but was not recognized in these patients.  相似文献
