Biomedical Engineering
Knee Arthroplasty

Background:

The SKI-knee joint system has been in clinical use for three years.
A total of 220 cases have been documented, with a relatively short follow-up period.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the early clinical outcomes and complication incidence of the SKI-knee joint system.
To analyze the causes and potential solutions for patellar complications associated with the implant.
To compare the SKI-System's surgical procedure and results with other knee joint systems.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 220 SKI-knee joint arthroplasty cases.
Analysis of complication rates, focusing on patellar complications.
Description of surgical techniques and the role of aligning instruments.
Comparison of outcomes with historical data from other knee joint replacements.

Main Results:

The SKI-knee joint system demonstrated a 10% complication rate, with patellar complications being the most frequent.
Anatomical design of the femoral component is implicated in patellar issues, which decrease with surgeon experience.
The SKI-System's instruments facilitate anatomical reconstruction, precise alignment, and deformity correction.

Conclusions:

The SKI-knee joint system shows encouraging early results, comparable to previously used knee joints.
Addressing patellar complications through surgical technique refinement is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
The system's design and instrumentation support accurate surgical reconstruction and alignment.
