Questo studio è stato identificato come potenzialmente ad alto impatto.
La metrica High Impact di OE, guidata dall'AI, stima l'influenza che un articolo potrebbe avere integrando i segnali della rivista in cui è stato pubblicato e il contenuto scientifico dell'articolo stesso.
Sviluppato utilizzando un'elaborazione del linguaggio naturale all'avanguardia, il modello High Impact di OE prevede in modo più accurato la futura performance citazionale di uno studio rispetto al solo fattore di impatto della rivista.
Ciò consente di riconoscere prima le ricerche clinicamente significative e aiuta i lettori a concentrarsi sugli articoli che hanno maggiori probabilità di influenzare la pratica futura.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2014;2(1):6 Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2013 Oct;21(10):2213-940 patients, between the ages of 50 and 85, who were unresponsive to conservative treatment and were scheduled to receive total knee arthroplasty (TKA), were randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups to test the effect of patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) on accuracy and rotational alignment in TKA. Patients received treatment with PSI or through a conventional TKA. Results indicated that PSI did not have a significant effect on the rotational alignment in patients following TKA.

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?
Implant malposition has been reported to be as high as 20-40% when using conventional instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty. To reduce the likelihood of implant malposition patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was introduced with the goal of improving implant positioning and reducing the overall cost and surgery time needed to complete the procedure. Previous studies have shown that PSI can successfully restore the mechanical axis, but very little information has been gathered regarding the role of PSI in the rotation of the tibial and femoral implants. This study was brought forward to assess the matching of preoperative planning and postoperative position of the TKA implants, and to closely analyze the femoral rotation of implants positioned with or without PSI.
Qual era la domanda di ricerca principale?
Does the use of patient-specific instruments improve the accuracy of the rotational alignment in TKA?
- Patients in the PSI group experienced <2 degrees or mm of difference between the planned position of the femoral implant and the obtained position in all femoral measurements except distal cut flexion angle (Mean difference of 2.6 degrees, 95% CI= 0.9)
- Patients in the PSI group experienced <2 degrees of difference between the planned position of the tibial implant and the obtained position when analyzing average tibial proximal cut (1.2 degrees), but not when looking at mean tibial slope angle (Mean difference of 2.2 degrees, 95% CI= 0.8), and tibial rotation (Mean difference of 6.8 degrees, 95% CI= 2.1).
- A total of 90% of all patients in the PSI group experienced less than 2 degrees or less than 2 mm of difference between the planned position of the femoral and tibial implants and their obtained positions, expect for when measuring tibial rotation, where the variations were much higher.
- No difference was observed between the two groups when analyzing weight-bearing full length X-rays 3 months after surgery. Mean HKA was 179 degrees in the PSI group with 4 outliers compared to 178.3 degrees with 2 outliers in the control group (p>0.05).
- No difference was found between the two groups concerning frontal and sagittal position of implants measured through Ml and AP X-rays (FFC, FTC, LFC, and LTC angle, and tibial slope, p>0.05 for all measurements).
- No significant difference in femoral rotation was observed between the two groups with a mean of 0.4 degrees begin expressed in the PSI group compared to 0.2 degrees in the control group (p>0.05).
- Mean tibial rotation was 8 degrees of internal rotation in the PSI group compared to 15 degrees of internal rotation in the control (p>0.05).
Che cosa devo ricordare di più?
90% of all patients in the PSI group experienced less than 2 degrees or less than 2 mm of difference between the planned position of the femoral and tibial implants and their obtained positions, expect for when measuring tibial rotation, where the variations were much higher. No difference was observed between the two groups when analyzing weight-bearing full length X-rays 3 months after surgery or when concerning frontal and sagittal position of implants measured through Ml and AP X-rays. No difference in femoral rotation was found between the groups. Average tibial rotation was also similar between the two groups.
Come influenzerà l'assistenza ai miei pazienti?
The results of this study indicate that PSI does not improve rotation/ rotational alignment in TKA. Further research must be completed on the topic of patient-specific instrumentation to fully understand the effect it has on outcomes following TKA.
