ARTHROPLASTY
Computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty using mini midvastus or medial parapatellar approach technique : A prospective, randomized, international multicentre trial
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2016;4(13):2 BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2016 Jan 13;17(1):19.69 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were randomized to have the surgery performed with either a minimally invasive midvastus (MIS) approach, or a conventional medial parapatellar approach, with the assistance of computer navigation. The purpose of this study was to compare pain, range of motion (ROM), duration of surgery, intra-/post-operative blood loss, and other clinical outcomes between the two approaches over a total of 6-month follow-up. Results demonstrated that the MIS technique was associated with significantly higher pain at postoperative week 2, longer duration of surgery, and blood lost during the first 24 postoperative hours. All other outcome scores were comparable between study groups.

Fragility Indexは、重要な所見の解釈を助けるツールで、結果の強さの尺度を提供します。Fragility Indexは、その所見が有意でなくなるために、二項対立の結果に追加する必要がある連続した事象の数を表します。数値が小さいほど弱い所見を表し、数値が大きいほど強い所見を表します。
なぜ今この研究が必要なのですか?
To avoid certain disadvantages that are associated with the conventional medial parapatellar approach in total knee arthroplasty, minimally invasive techniques (MIS) have been suggested to minimize local tissue disruption, neurovascular tissue, and potential dislocation of the patella. These complications of surgical trauma may manifest negatively in clinical outcome and increase length of hospitalization. However, the current body of evidence investigating the benefits of computer- assisted MIS TKA are inconclusive due to conflicting reports of efficacy, thus warranting the present study.
主な研究課題は何ですか?
In patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty, did a computer-assisted, minimally invasive midvastus technique result in significant advantages when compared to standard medial parapatellar approach, with respect pain, range of motion, duration of surgery, blood-loss, and other clinical outcomes over 6-month follow-up?
重要な知見は?
- Pain scores between study groups were significantly different (p=0.003); post-hoc comparison of between groups differences revealed a 1.20 point difference in favor of patients in the conventional group (p=0.01) at postoperative week two. At all other follow-up points, there were no significant between-group differences recorded.
- Range of motion (ROM) measurements were comparable between study groups, as there were no significant differences recorded at any follow-up point (p=0.12).
- Surgery time was observed to be significantly longer for patients in the MIS group when compared to the conventional group (approximately 30.97 minutes longer, p<0.001). Although intra-operative blood loss measurements were comparable between study groups, first 24-hour blood loss was significantly higher for patients in the MIS group (approximately 315.02 mL more, p=0.002).
- Measurements recorded for the chair-rise test, quadriceps strength, and anterior knee pain (scored with either a “yes” or “no”) were comparable between study groups at all follow-up points.
- WOMAC and KSS scores were additionally comparable between study groups at all follow-up points.
最も覚えておくべきことは?
When comparing a minimally invasive midvastus (MIS) technique to the conventional medial parapatellar approach for total knee arthroplasty, the MIS technique was associated with significantly higher pain scores at postoperative week 2, in addition to significantly increased surgery duration and first 24-hour blood loss.
それが私の患者ケアにどのように影響するか?
The results of this study demonstrate that a computer-assisted minimally invasive midvastus (MIS) technique for total knee arthroplasty had no significant advantages when compared to conventional technique. Future randomized controlled trials with larger patient populations should be conducted in order to replicate and substantiate these findings.
