Background
To explore the influence of individualized positioning of tibial prosthesis rotation alignment to guide total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery strategy on the early postoperative effect.
Method
A total of 60 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital from January 2019 to March 2020 were divided into two groups: personalized operation group and traditional operation group, with 30 patients each group. The general data such as age, sex, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay were recorded. Range of motion (ROM), visual analogue scale (VAS), knee society score (KSS), The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and Oxford knee score (OKS) were recorded before, 3 months and 12 months after operation and the vertical angle between APA and STEA' was θ, the mechanical axis of lower extremities (MA) and patellofemoral index (PFI) 3 months and 12months after operation were measured to evaluate the postoperative effect.
Results
3 months after operation, the ROM, VAS, KSS, vertical angle θ and PFI scores of personalized positioning group were (108.6 ± 8.27), (1.20 ± 0.56), (88.15 ± 2.54), (0.85 ± 1.08) and (0.97 ± 0.10) respectively were better than traditional operation group (102.80 ± 7.72), (2.20 ± 0.67), (83.60 ± 3.85), (7.12 ± 0.99), (1.34 ± 0.20). 12 months after operation, the ROM, VAS, KSS, vertical angle θ and PFI scores of personalized positioning group were (118.3 ± 7.26), (0.67 ± 0.48), (91.83 ± 1.74), (0.35 ± 1.03), (0.96 ± 0.15) respectively were better than traditional operation group (114.1 ± 8.09), (1.18 ± 0.83), (89.93 ± 2.50), (6.24 ± 0.69), (1.28 ± 0.19). There was no significant difference in MA, WOMAC and OKS after operation.
Conclusion
Personalized tibial prosthesis rotation alignment guide TKA strategy can more accurately obtain the prosthesis rotation alignment and lower limb force lines, and then guide TKA surgery, in order to achieve better results in the early postoperative period.
