Staged Extra-Articular Deformity Correction in the Setting of Total Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extra-articular lower-leg deformities mandate unique considerations when planning total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Poor limb alignment may increase perioperative complications and cause early implant failure. This study reports on the safety and efficacy of staged, extra-articular deformity correction about the knee in the setting of osteoarthritis and TKA.

Methods

A retrospective review was conducted from December 2007 to December 2019 identifying 30 deformities in 27 patients (average age: 52.7 years; range 31-74) who underwent staged surgical correction of extra-articular deformity in preparation for TKA. Patient demographics, surgical details, clinical and radiographic measurements, severity of knee arthritis, and complications were collected.
