“…Pertaining to knee anatomy, patients with achondroplasia have wide, flared metaphyses and metaphyseal angulation [1,19]. They may also have lateral collateral ligament laxity and restriction in ROM with major flexion contractures [1,19] (Fig.…”

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with skeletal dysplasias is particularly challenging as a result of the anatomic variances and substantial bony deformities. Little has been written regarding technical considerations that should be made when performing TKA in skeletal dysplasia. Questions/purposes We describe special operative considerations that must be made when performing TKA on patients with skeletal dysplasia, including implant selection and ligamentous balancing. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 12 TKAs in eight patients with varying degrees of deformity (ranging from 30°of varus to 45°of valgus) secondary to three types of skeletal dysplasias: multiple hereditary exostosis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Clinical notes, operative records, and radiographic data were reviewed. Minimum followup was 1 year (average, 4 years; range, 1-10 years).

“…Furthermore, the incidence of neurological symptoms increases with degree of severity of thoracolumbar deformity and spinal stenosis. 20 -24 Bailey et al 25 had lower levels of PT and OH. In addition, PI 31 was lower in achondroplasia patients.…”

“…3 The spinal cord and neural elements are of normal size. 20 The disproportion between the narrowed spinal canal and normal sized spinal cord places the achondroplast at risk for neurologic complications, including spinal stenosis. The reported incidence of symptomatic spinal stenosis in achondroplasia varies widely.…”
