  • Effectiveness of one-stage total knee arthroplasty in treatment of advanced active knee tuberculosis

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of one-stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of advanced active knee tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with advanced active knee tuberculosis who received one-stage TKA between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 males and 18 females. The age ranged from 20 to 84 years, with an average of 52.8 years. The body mass index ranged from 17 to 36 kg/m2, with an average of 23.05 kg/m2. The preoperative C reactive protein (CRP) was (23.49±4.72) mg/L, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was (45.95±8.82) mm/1 h. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was 48.8±9.1. During the operation, the infected lesions of the knee joint were completely removed, and the operative area was repeatedly soaked with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and 0.5% povidone iodine solution. The intraoperative pathological examination confirmed the tuberculosis of the knee joint, and systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment was performed. The operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, postoperative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy time, and complications were recorded. CRP and ESR were recorded and compared before and after operation. Anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of the knee joint were taken to evaluate whether the prosthesis had signs of loosening and sinking, and to determine whether there was recurrence of tuberculosis. The knee joint function was evaluated by HSS score. With treatment failure due to any reason as the end event, the survival time of prosthesis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results All operations were successfully completed without fracture, vascular and nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis, and other complications. All incisions healed by first intention after operation. The operation time ranged from 80 to 135 minutes, with an average of 102.76 minutes; postoperative hospitalization stay was 5-16 days, with an average of 9.7 days; the duration of postoperative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy ranged from 1 to 18 months, and the median duration was 12 months. All 38 cases were followed up 3-133 months (mean, 63.7 months). At last follow-up, CRP was (4.88±1.24) mg/L and ESR was (13.00±2.97) mm/1 h, both of which were significantly lower than those before operation (t=20.647, P<0.001; t=20.886, P<0.001). During the follow-up, 3 patients (7.89%) had tuberculosis recurrence. Two patients had tuberculosis recurrence due to withdrawal of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy at 1 and 2 months after operation, respectively. One patient was cured after debridement, preservation of prosthesis and anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for 12 months, and 1 patient was cured after oral administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs for 12 months. Another 1 patient had recurrent tuberculosis and mixed infection (Corynebacterium gehreni) at 2 months after operation, and the infection was not controlled after debridement, and finally the thigh was amputated. Except for the patients with recurrent infection, no complications such as prosthesis loosening, periprosthetic fracture, and periprosthetic infection were found. At last follow-up, the HSS score of the knee joint was 86.8±4.8, and the knee joint function significantly improved when compared with that before operation (t=−31.198, P<0.001). Prosthesis survival time was (122.57±5.77) months [95%CI (111.25, 133.88) months], and the 10-year survival rate was 92.1%. Conclusion One-stage TKA combined with postoperative antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced active knee tuberculosis can achieve satisfactory infection control and joint function.

  • A multicenter randomized controlled trial of domestic robot-assisted and conventional total knee arthroplasty

    ObjectiveTo investigate the accuracy, safety, and short-term effectiveness of a domestic robot-assisted system in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Methods Between December 2021 and February 2023, 138 patients with knee osteoarthritis who received TKA in 5 clinical centers were prospectively collected, and 134 patients met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either a trial group (n=68) or a control group (n=66). Seven patients had lost follow-up and missing data, so they were excluded and the remaining 127 patients were included for analysis, including 66 patients in the trial group and 61 patients in the control group. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in gender, age, body mass index, side, duration of osteoarthritis, Kellgren-Lawrence grading, preoperative Knee Society Score (KSS) and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score between the two groups. The trial group completed the TKA by domestic robot-assisted osteotomy according to the preoperative CT-based surgical planning. The control group was performed by traditional osteotomy plate combined with soft tissue release. Total operation time, osteotomy time of femoral/tibial side, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The radiographs were taken at 5 and 90 days after operation, and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), lateral distal angle of femur (LDFA), and posterior tibial slope (PTS) were measured. The difference between the measured values of the above indexes at two time points after operation and the preoperative planning target values was calculated, and the absolute value (absolute error) was taken for comparison between the two groups. The postoperative recovery of lower limb alignment was judged and the accuracy was calculated. KSS score and WOMAC score were used to evaluate the knee joint function of patients before operation and at 90 days after operation. The improvement rates of KSS score and WOMAC score were calculated. The function, stability, and convenience of the robot-assisted system were evaluated by the surgeons. ResultsThe total operation time and femoral osteotomy time of the trial group were significantly longer than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the tibial osteotomy time and the amount of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P>0.05). The incisions of both groups healed by first intention after operation, and there was no infection around the prosthesis. Nine patients in the trial group and 8 in the control group developed lower extremity vascular thrombosis, all of which were calf intermuscular venous thrombosis, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications (P>0.05). All patients were followed up 90 days. There was no significant difference in KSS score and WOMAC score between the two groups at 90 days after operation (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the improvement rate of KSS score between the two groups (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the improvement rate of WOMAC score between the two groups (P>0.05). Radiological results showed that the absolute errors of HKA and LDFA in the trial group were significantly smaller than those in the control group at 5 and 90 days after operation (P<0.05), and the recovery accuracy of lower limb alignment was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The absolute error of PTS in the trial group was significantly smaller than that in the control group at 5 days after operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at 90 days between the two groups (P>0.05). The functional satisfaction rate of the robot-assisted system was 98.5% (65/66), and the satisfaction rates of stability and convenience were 100% (66/66). ConclusionDomestic robot-assisted TKA is a safe and effective surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis, which can achieve favorable lower limb alignment reconstruction, precise implant of prosthesis, and satisfactory functional recovery.

  • Medium- and long-term effectiveness of hip revision with SL-PLUS MIA stem in patients with Paprosky type Ⅰ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect

    Objective To investigate the medium- and long-term effectiveness of hip revision with SL-PLUS MIA stem in patients with Paprosky typeⅠ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect. MethodsBetween June 2012 and December 2018, 44 patients with Paprosky typeⅠ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect received hip revision using SL-PLUS MIA stem. There were 28 males and 16 females, with an average age of 57.7 years (range, 31-76 years). Indications for revision comprised aseptic loosening (27 cases) and periprosthetic joint infection (17 cases). The Harris hip scores were 54 (48, 60) and 43 (37, 52) in patients with aseptic loosening and periprosthetic joint infection, respectively. The preoperative femoral bone defects were identified as Paprosky type Ⅰ in 32 cases, type Ⅱ in 9 cases, type ⅢA in 2 cases, and type ⅢB in 1 case. Operation time and intraoperative blood transfusion volume were recorded. During follow-up after operation, the hip joint function were evaluated by Harris hip score and X-ray films, the femoral stem survival was analyzed, and the surgical related complications were recorded. Results The operation time of infected patients was 95-215 minutes, with an average of 125.0 minutes. The intraoperative blood transfusion volume was 400-1 800 mL, with an average of 790.0 mL. The operation time of patients with aseptic loosening was 70-200 minutes, with an average of 121.0 minutes. The intraoperative blood transfusion volume was 400-1 400 mL, with an average of 721.7 mL. All patients were followed up 5.3-10.0 years (mean, 7.4 years). At last follow-up, the Harris hip scores were 88 (85, 90) and 85 (80, 88) in patients with aseptic loosening and periprosthetic joint infection, respectively, both of which were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05). Radiological examination results showed that the distal end of the newly implanted femoral stem did not cross the distal end of the original prosthesis in 25 cases, and all femoral stems obtained bone fixation. Two cases experienced femoral stem subsidence and 1 case had a translucent line on the lateral side of the proximal femoral stem. When aseptic loosening was defined as the end event, the 10-year survival rate of the SL-PLUS MIA stem was 100%. When treatment failure due to any reason was defined as the end event, the survival time of the prosthesis was (111.70±3.66) months, and the 7-year survival rate was 95.5%. The 7-year survival rates were 94.1% and 96.3% in patients with aseptic loosening and periprosthetic joint infection, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications was 9.1% (4/44), among which the prosthesis related complications were 4.5% (2/44), 1 case of dislocation and 1 case of infection recurrence. ConclusionHip revision with SL-PLUS MIA stem has the advantages of simple operation and few postoperative complications in the patients with Paprosky type Ⅰ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect, and the medium- and long-term effectiveness is reliable.
