ARTHROPLASTY
TKA: Better implant stability but comparable functionality with HA-coated tibial implants .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(11):32 Acta Orthop. 2011 Aug;82(4):448-59. Epub 2011 Jun 10This systematic review and meta-analysis identified 14 trials, which included 926 evaluable total knee arthroplasties. These studies examined the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coating on tibial implant durability in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), in comparison other forms of tibial fixation. The primary outcomes in the selected studies were durability, function, and acute adverse events. Results indicated that the functionality between the types of implants were comparable, but durability with the HA-coated tibial implant may be better than other tibial implants in patients >65 years. There were no differences in adverse events between HA coated implants and other forms of tibial fixation.

L'indice de fragilité est un outil qui aide à l'interprétation des résultats significatifs, en fournissant une mesure de la force d'un résultat. L'indice de fragilité représente le nombre d'événements consécutifs qui doivent être ajoutés à un résultat dichotomique pour que le résultat ne soit plus significatif. Un petit nombre représente un résultat plus faible et un grand nombre un résultat plus fort.
Pourquoi cette étude était-elle nécessaire maintenant ?
There is uncertainty on the clinical benefits of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coating in tibial components, as a part of total knee arthroplasty. HA-coatings on implants may promote greater stable fixation due to its osteoconductive properties, which promote early bone in-growth. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes (durability, function, and acute adverse events) in HA-coated tibial components in total knee arthroplasties.
Quelle était la principale question de recherche ?
What are the clinical outcomes (durability, function, and acute adverse events) of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated tibial components compared to other forms of tibial fixation in patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty measured at both short and long-term follow-up periods?
- At 2 years, tibial components coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) (porous or press-fit) without screw fixation were less likely to be unstable, compared to cemented and porous metal-backed tibial components (RR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.34-0.98; p=0.04, I2 = 39%, M-H random effects model)
- No significant difference was seen in adverse events between groups (RR=1.20, 95%CI: 0.63-2.28; p=0.58; I2 =0%; Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) fixed effects model)
- Evaluation at 2, and 8-10 years indicated no significant difference in durability between groups.
- No significant difference was seen in functional status at 2 and 5 years, regardless of the type of measure used.
De quoi dois-je me souvenir en priorité ?
Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants may provide better implant stability in patients with osteoarthritis undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), who are within the age range of 65-70 years, which may lead to a reduction in the need for revision later in the implant life. No difference was apparent in functionality between the HA-coated and other tibial implants, when measured by different validated scoring systems. No significant difference was seen in adverse events between groups.
Comment cela affectera-t-il les soins prodigués à mes patients ?
Trials with a larger population should be performed to determine the long-term outcomes of HA-coated implants and other porous-coated tibial implants, in younger (<65 years) and more active individuals with osteoarthritis.
