Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rarely requires soft tissue release to achieve optimal coronal alignment. This technique leads to excellent patient outcomes, including improved function and satisfaction, even in complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Achieving neutral coronal alignment is crucial for successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • Pre-operative coronal deformity can pose challenges in TKA alignment.
  • The necessity of collateral soft tissue release in navigated TKA for optimal alignment requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the rate of collateral soft tissue release needed in navigated TKA to achieve a 0° ± 2° coronal femoral tibial mechanical axis (FTMA).
  • To evaluate post-operative coronal alignment, range of motion, function, patient satisfaction, and complications at one-year follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 224 knees undergoing navigated TKA.
  • No exclusions based on pathology or deformity severity.
  • Pre- and post-operative FTMA measured; soft tissue release rate recorded; functional outcomes assessed at one year.

Main Results:

  • Soft tissue release was performed in only 2.2% of cases (5/224 knees).
  • 96% of knees achieved post-operative FTMA within ± 5° of neutral.
  • One-year follow-up showed a median flexion of 100°, improved Oxford Knee Score (42 to 23), and 91% patient satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Navigated TKA can achieve excellent coronal alignment with minimal collateral soft tissue release, even in cases with significant pre-operative deformity.
  • The technique demonstrates favorable outcomes regarding range of motion, function, and patient satisfaction at one year.
  • This approach offers a reliable method for achieving optimal results in total knee arthroplasty.
