Smaller migration with monoblock versus modular tibial component in uncemented TKA .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2017;5(15):5 Acta Orthop. 2016 Dec;87(6):607-61467 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either a monoblock or modular tibial component. Patients were assessed for component migration over the first 24 months postoperatively, as well as clinical scores in the same time frame. Results demonstrated significantly lower maximum total point motion in the monoblock group compared to the modular group after 24 months. As well, single dimension migration demonstrated significantly lower subsidence in the monoblock group compared to the modular group. Clinical scores did not significantly differ between groups.

L'Indice di Fragilità è uno strumento che aiuta l'interpretazione dei risultati significativi, fornendo una misura della forza di un risultato. L'Indice di Fragilità rappresenta il numero di eventi consecutivi che devono essere aggiunti a un risultato dicotomico per rendere il risultato non più significativo. Un numero piccolo rappresenta un risultato più debole, mentre un numero grande rappresenta un risultato più forte.
Perché questo studio era necessario ora?
Aseptic loosening of tibial components remains a primary concern regarding the overall survivorship of total knee arthroplasty implants. Polyethylene wear has been identified as a potential contributor to aseptic loosening. Recently, there has been debate whether tibial component designs, specifically monoblock versus modular polyethylene components, may differ in their respective wear and migration profiles.
Qual era la domanda di ricerca principale?
In total knee arthroplasty, does the use of a monoblock tibial component result in significantly lower component migration within the first 2 years postoperatively when compared to a modular polyethylene component?
- There was no significant difference in MTPM between the monoblock group and the modular group after 3 months (0.58mm [95%CI 0.43-0.72] vs. 0.85mm [0.65-1.09]; p=0.2) or 6 months (0.66mm [0.44-0.77] vs. 0.98mm [0.74-1.26];p=0.1); MTPM was significantly lower in the monoblock group compared to the modular group at 12 months (0.65mm [0.46-0.78] vs. 1.01mm [0.81-1.28]; p=0.02) and 24 months (0.72mm [0.53-0.82 vs. 1.15mm [0.90-1.37]; p=0.02).
- In individual axes for translation, no significant differences between groups in anterior-posterior translation or lateral-medial translation of the tibial component were noted at any follow-up. In contrast, beginning at 6 months, significantly smaller superior-inferior translation of the tibial component was observed in the monoblock group compared to the modular group, and significance was maintained after 24 months (-0.18mm [-0.24, -0.07] vs. -0.38mm [-0.54, -0.23]; p=0.02).
- In individual axes for rotation, no significant differences between groups were observed in either anterior-posterior tilt, varus-valgus tilt, or internal-external rotation of the component at any follow-up time point (all p>0.05).
- No significant differences between groups were observed in Knee Society Knee scores, Knee Society Function scores, or EQ-5D scores at any follow-up time point (all p>0.05).
Che cosa devo ricordare di più?
In uncemented total knee arthroplasty, the use of a monoblock tibial component was associated with significantly smaller maximum total point motion after 24 months, and, specifically, significantly lower superior-inferior translation of the tibial component after 24 months when compared to a modular polyethylene tibial component. No significant between-group differences were noted in x- and z-axis translation of the component, x-, y, and z-axis rotation of the component, or clinical scores after 24 months.
Come influenzerà l'assistenza ai miei pazienti?
The results of this study suggest that monoblock tibial components may result in a statistically significantly smaller degree of migration, as assessed via maximum total point motion, from 12 to 24 months after uncemented total knee arthroplasty when compared to modular polyethylene tibial components. Nonetheless, there did not appear to be any clinical impact of the difference observed between groups within this time frame. Follow-up studies are needed to determine if the observed difference in migration has any implication on the incidence of aseptic loosening and component survivorship in the long-term.
