Tibial anchorage systems with multiple pegs or screws effectively resist loosening under eccentric loads. Simpler designs with fewer or shorter pegs are more prone to detachment, impacting total knee arthroplasty component stability.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Tibial component fixation is crucial for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) success.
  • Eccentric loading can lead to micromotion and aseptic loosening of tibial implants.
  • Understanding anchorage system performance under load is vital for implant design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the mechanical stability of different tibial anchorage systems.
  • To assess the resistance to distractive motion under eccentric loads.
  • To inform the design and testing protocols for TKA tibial components.

Main Methods:

  • Mechanical testing using urethane foam as a bone substitute.
  • Finite element analysis (FEA) to model load distribution and stress.

  • Assessment of distractive relative motion under eccentric loading conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Unanchored plates separated from the substrate when loads were within 30-35% of the edge.
    • FEA indicated a 90%/10% medial/lateral load distribution for compressive stresses under unanchored plates.
    • Systems with four 10mm pegs or four 6.5mm cancellous screws resisted distraction (<76 microns); shorter/single pegs allowed >150 microns distraction.

    Conclusions:

    • Multi-peg and multi-screw tibial anchorage systems demonstrate superior resistance to distractive motion.
    • Anchorage design significantly influences component stability under eccentric loading.
    • These findings are critical for optimizing the biomechanical performance of tibial components in TKA.
