Small Improvements in Mechanical Axis Alignment Achieved With MRI versus CT-based Patient-specific Instruments in TKA: A Randomized Clinical Trial

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

90 patients diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to undergo total knee arthroplasty using either conventional instrumentation, MRI-based patient-specific instrumentation, or CT-based patient-specific instrumentation. Patients were assessed after surgery for coronal alignment (mechanical axis, femoral component, and tibial component), sagittal alignment (posterior slope), and axial alignment (rotation of the femoral component|). Clinical scores were obtained at 3 months postoperatively. Surgical duration was also documented and compared. Postoperatively, significantly fewer cases in which TKA was completed with MRI-based PSI demonstrated outliers (>3deg deviation from planned alignment) for mechanical axis, coronal alignment of the femoral component and axial alignment of the femoral component when compared to conventional instrument. CT-based PSI differed significantly compared to standard instruments only in the number of outliers in axial alignment of the femoral component. Comparisons of coronal alignment of the tibial component and posterior tibial slope did not differ significantly between any two groups.
