ARTHROPLASTY
Mobile- vs. fixed-bearing total knee replacement
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2015;3(12):8 Acta Orthop. 2015 Apr;86(2):208-1463 patients with uni- or bilateral osteoarthritis were randomized to 2 groups that underwent mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or fixed-bearing (FB) TKA. Over a 2 year follow-up period, total translation (TT) via radiostereometric analysis (RSA), bone mineral density (BMD), correlation between implant migration and BMD, and Oxford knee scores (OKS) were evaluated. Results indicated that FB tibial implants migrated a significantly greater degree than MB implants. Within both groups, the majority of migration occurred within the first 3 months after surgery. Both groups displayed similar loss of BMD, which did not correlate to implant migration. OKS was significantly increased in both groups, with no significant between-group differences observed.

Der Fragilitätsindex ist ein Instrument, das bei der Interpretation signifikanter Ergebnisse hilft und ein Maß für die Stärke eines Ergebnisses liefert. Der Fragilitätsindex gibt die Anzahl der aufeinanderfolgenden Ereignisse an, die zu einem dichotomen Ergebnis hinzugefügt werden müssen, damit das Ergebnis nicht mehr signifikant ist. Eine kleine Zahl steht für ein schwächeres Ergebnis und eine große Zahl für ein stärkeres Ergebnis.
Warum wurde diese Studie jetzt benötigt?
Mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) devices have been developed with the theoretical advantages related to contact stress, wear, and loosening of components, although the expected advantages of MB TKA have not been established in prior trials. It has previously been indicated that MB and fixed-bearing (FB) implant designs perform equally well, and thus it is unclear whether MB TKA provides any significant benefit over FB designs. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare MB and FB designs by investigating implant migration, periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and patient reported outcomes at 2 years for the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retaining press-fit condylar (P.F.C) TKA.
Was war die wichtigste Forschungsfrage?
Do mobile-bearing designs improve tibial component fixation compared to fixed-bearing designs in total knee arthroplasty patients, assessed at 3, 6, 12, and 24-months follow-up?
Was waren die wichtigsten Ergebnisse?
- Total translational migration (TT) was significantly higher in the FB group (24-months mean = 0.30 mm +/- 0.22) than the MB group (24-month mean = 0.17 mm +/- 0.09) at all 4 follow-up times (24 months, p= 0.04). Migration predominantly occurred within the first 3 months postoperatively in both groups.
- Excessive migration (>0.2mm) between the 12 and 24 month follow-up periods was noted in two knees of each group.
- Total rotational migration (TR) was similar between groups at all 4 follow-up times (24 months, p= 0.1)
- The maximum total point motion (MTPM) was not significantly different between the FB group (24-month mean = 0.69 mm +/- 0.37) and the MB group (24-month mean = 0.55 mm +/- 0.28) at all follow-up times (p= 0.1)
- Percent BMD loss on anterior/posterior images was a mean -8.8% at 12 months (p=0.04) and -0.8% at 24 months (p=0.4) in the MB group, and -2.3% (p=0.02) and -1.1% (p=0.4), respectively, in the FB group. Percent BMD loss on lateral images was a mean -11.8% at 12 months (p<0.01) and -6.2% at 24 months (p<0.01) in the MB group, and -11.5% (p<0.01) and -4.1% (p=0.1), respectively, in the FB group.
- No correlation was noted between total translation and the change in BMD for either group at 24-month follow-up
- Both groups demonstrated a significant increase in OKS scores between baseline and 6-month follow-up, and maintained through to 24 month follow-up. There were no significant between-group differences in OKS score at either the 6, 12, or 24-month follow-up periods.
Was sollte ich mir besonders merken?
In total knee arthroplasty, total translational migration of cruciate-retaining, fixed-bearing tibial implants was significantly greater than that of cruciate-retaining, mobile-bearing tibial implants, that majority of which occurred within the first 3 months postoperatively in both groups. Both groups displayed similar bone mineral density loss over 24 months, and no significant correlation between migration and BMD loss was observed. Both tibial implants led to significant, and similar, increase in clinical scores.
Wie wird sich dies auf die Behandlung meiner Patienten auswirken?
Despite the difference between fixed- and mobile-bearing tibial implants in migration, total migration was low in both groups, and relatively unchanged past 3 months. Thus the decision between fixed- and mobile-bearing is still open for discussion, as the current results depict good fixation with similar clinical scores within the first 2 years after surgery. Future studies should analyze stability between implants over the longer term, providing a more accurate look at implant survivorship and longevity.
