Abstract

AbstractPurposeFunctional implant positioning (FIP) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an evolution of kinematic alignment based on preoperative CT scan and robotic‐assisted technology. This study aimed to assess the ligament balancing of image‐based robotic‐assisted TKA in extension, mid‐flexion and flexion with an FIP using intraoperative sensor‐guided technology. The hypothesis was that image‐based robotic‐assisted TKA performed by FIP would achieve ligament balancing all along the arc of knee flexion.MethodsThis prospective monocentric study included 47 consecutive patients with varus knees undergoing image‐based robotic‐assisted TKA performed with FIP. After robotic‐assisted bone cuts, trial components were inserted, and soft tissue balance was assessed using sensor‐guided technology at 10°, 45° and 90° of knee flexion. A mediolateral balanced knee was defined by an intercompartmental pressure difference (ICPD) ≤ 15 lbf and medial and lateral compartment pressure ≤60 lbf. The mean age was 71.6 years old ±6.7, the mean BMI was 29.0 kg/m2 ± 4.9 and the mean preoperative HKA was 174° ± 5 [159; 183].ResultsThe mean postoperative knee alignment was 177.0° ± 2.2° [172; 181]. There were 93.6% of balanced knees (n = 44) at 10 and 90° of knee flexion versus 76.6% (n = 36) at 45° of knee flexion with a significant difference (p = 0.014). Median ICPD at 10, 45 and 90° of knee flexion were, respectively, 7.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 9), 11.0 (IQR: 9.5) and 8.0 (IQR: 9.0). Pairwise analyses revealed differences for ICPD at 45° versus ICPD at 10° (p = 0.003) and ICPD at 90° versus ICPD at 45° (p = 0.007).ConclusionFIP with an image‐based robotic‐assisted system allowed the restoration of a well‐balanced knee at 10° and 90° of flexion in varus knees. Nevertheless, some discrepancies occurred in midflexion, and more work is needed to understand ligament behaviour all along the arc of knee flexion.Level of EvidenceLevel II.
