Computer-assisted revision total knee replacement (TKR) effectively addresses bone deficits using impaction grafting. This technique shows promise for accurate implant alignment, comparable to primary TKR, despite some rotational and component mismatch errors.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Revision total knee replacement (TKR) is complex, often involving significant bone deficits.
  • Allograft impaction grafting is a method to reconstruct bone loss in revision TKR.
  • Computer assistance offers potential for enhanced precision in orthopedic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a technique for allograft-augmented revision TKR using computer assistance.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of implant alignment in revision TKR with bone deficits using this technique.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique involving impaction grafting for femoral and tibial bone deficits was employed.
  • A computer system monitored and guided implant positioning during cement setting.

  • The Perth CT protocol was used for quantitative assessment of prosthesis alignment.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique successfully addressed bone deficits using impaction grafting.
    • Implant alignments achieved were comparable in accuracy to those in primary TKR.
    • Identified errors included issues with femoral rotation and component mismatch.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-assisted revision TKR with allograft augmentation is a promising technique for managing bone deficits.
    • While not perfect, the achieved accuracy in alignment is encouraging for revision TKR.
    • Further refinement may improve outcomes regarding rotational accuracy and component matching.
