    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Computational Modeling

    Background:

    • Achieving optimal ligament balance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is crucial for successful patient outcomes.
    • Surgical inaccuracies in implant positioning can lead to suboptimal ligament strain and functional deficits.
    • Quantifying the impact of these inaccuracies is essential for improving surgical planning and execution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computationally efficient method for quantifying the effect of surgical inaccuracies on ligament strain in TKA.
    • To establish a framework for determining implant positions and surgical accuracy tolerances for a 90% probability of a ligament-balanced postoperative outcome.
    • To identify critical implant positioning parameters that influence ligament balance.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the response surface method to translate uncertainties in implant position parameters to uncertainties in ligament strain.
    • Developed an uncertainty quantification technique enabling optimization of planned implant position and tolerated surgical error across twelve degrees of freedom.
    • Integrated an optimization process for feasible computational cost analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Preoperative planning alone does not guarantee a ligament-balanced TKA with 90% probability due to existing surgical error margins.
    • Identified six critical implant position parameters: AP translation, PD translation, VV rotation, IE rotation (femoral component), and PD translation, VV rotation (tibial component).

    Conclusions:

    • An optimization process was developed to compute required surgical accuracy for ligament-balanced TKA outcomes using preoperative planning with feasible computational cost.
    • The proposed method offers computationally efficient uncertainty quantification for complex biomechanical models.
    • Identification of critical parameters provides focus for refining TKA surgical accuracy, potentially enhancing patient satisfaction.
