Background: Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) frequently comprises femoral or tibial deformity, which makes it difficult to perform total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Accelerometer-based navigation (ABN) could be effective in restoring a neutral mechanical axis (MA) in TKA, but a limited number of studies have been reported in association with PTOA. Therefore, we aimed to compare the lower limb MA between ABN-assisted TKA (ABN-TKA) and conventional TKA in patients with PTOA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 28 PTOA patients who underwent TKA using a conventional system (cTKA group, n = 16) and the ABN system (iTKA group, n = 12). Standing long-leg radiographs were assessed for MA and prosthesis alignment as primary outcomes. A postoperative MA deviating beyond ± 3° was defined as an outlier. Perioperative outcomes, Oxford Knee Score (OKS) at 2-year follow-up, and complications were also assessed.
Results: The cTKA group and the iTKA group had a mean age of 63.07 years and 65.25 years, respectively. The iTKA group had significantly better MA accuracy when compared to the cTKA group (1.60° ± 2.09° vs. 3.59° ± 1.34°, p = 0.01). The iTKA group showed significantly less MA outlier than the cTKA group (78.6% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.02). The prosthesis alignment and OKS were comparable between the groups. There were 2 periprosthetic joint infections in the cTKA group and 1 periprosthetic fracture of the distal femur in the iTKA group.
Conclusions: For PTOA of the knee, both conventional TKA and ABN-TKA significantly improved the postoperative mechanical alignment and functional outcomes. The ABN-TKA seemed to offer higher accuracy and less MA outlier when compared to conventional TKA, and thus ABN could be a good alternative option.
