Correction of coronal alignment correlates with reconstruction of joint height in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Abstract: ObjectivesBecause there have been no standard methods to determine pre-operatively the thickness of resection of the proximal tibia in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), information about the relationship between the change of limb alignment and the joint line elevation would be useful for pre-operative planning. The purpose of this study was to clarify the correlation between the change of limb alignment and the change of joint line height at the medial compartment after UKA.MethodsA consecutive series… Show more

“…For example, when comparing radiographic parameters or associating surgical technical factors, values of R 2 are reported in the 0.2 to 0.4 range. 8,9 Whereas, comparing data between separate (but intrinsically similar) outcome assessment questionnaires can yield higher values in excess of 0.7. 10 …”

“…However, unlike TKA, the joint line change in medial UKA affects not only the anatomical position of the patella but also the joint line of the lateral compartment. Kuwashima et al investigated the effect of mechanical alignment, which is correlated with the joint line elevation, following medial UKA of the tibial compartment . To preserve the joint line, the surgeon should generally resect the tibial bone 4 mm from the bony surface of the tibia compartment .…”

“…The PE insert was modeled as an elastoplastic material, and the implant components were modeled as linear elastic isotropic materials (Table ). In developing the joint line FE model, we referred to a previous study . The femoral component and tibial tray were fully bonded to the femur and tibia bone models, respectively.…”
