Comparison of anatomic axes with a navigated functional rotation axis determined by ligament tension for rotational femoral component alignment in cadaver knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Introducion

The malimplantation of the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components is one of the main reasons for revision surgery. For determining the correct intraoperative femoral rotation several anatomic rotational axes were described in order to achieve a parallel, balanced flexion gap. In this cadaveric study prevalent used rotational femoral axes and a navigated functional rotational axis were compared to the flexion-extension axis defined as the gold standard in rotation for femoral TKA component rotation.

Materials and methods

Thirteen body donors with knee osteoarthritis (mean age: 78.85 ± 6.09; eight females and five males) were examined. Rotational computer tomography was performed on their lower extremities pre- and postoperatively. Knee joint arthroplasties were implanted and CT diagnostics were used to compare the preoperatively determined flexion-extension axis (FEA). The FEA is the axis determined by our surgical technique and serves as an internal reference. It was compared to other axes such as (i) the anatomical transepicondylar axis (aTEA), (ii) the surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA), (iii) the posterior condylar axis (PCA) and (iv) the functional rotation axis (fRA).

Results

Examination of 26 knee joint arthroplasties revealed a significant angular deviation (p^*** < 0.0001) for all axes when the individual axes and FEA were compared. aTEA show mean angular deviation of 5.2° (± 4.5), sTEA was 2.7° (± 2.2), PCA 2.9° (± 2.3) and the deviation of fRA was 4.3° (± 2.7). A tendency towards external rotation was observed for the relative and maximum axis deviations of the aTEA to the FEA, for the sTEA and the fRA. However, the rotation of the posterior condylar axis was towards inwards.

Conclusions

All axes showed a significant angular deviation from the FEA. We conclude that the presented technique achieves comparable results in terms of FEA reconstruction when compared with the use of the known surrogate axes, with certain deviations in terms of outliers in the internal or external rotation.

Project description:PurposePlacement of zygomatic implants in the most optimal prosthetic position is considered challenging due to limited bone mass of the zygoma, limited visibility, length of the drilling path and proximity to critical anatomical structures. Augmented reality (AR) navigation can eliminate some of the disadvantages of surgical guides and conventional surgical navigation, while potentially improving accuracy. In this human cadaver study, we evaluated a developed AR navigation approach for placement of zygomatic implants after total maxillectomy.MethodsThe developed AR navigation interface connects a commercial navigation system with the Microsoft HoloLens. AR navigated surgery was performed to place 20 zygomatic implants using five human cadaver skulls after total maxillectomy. To determine accuracy, postoperative scans were virtually matched with preoperative three-dimensional virtual surgical planning, and distances in mm from entry-exit points and angular deviations were calculated as outcome measures. Results were compared with a previously conducted study in which zygomatic implants were positioned with 3D printed surgical guides.ResultsThe mean entry point deviation was 2.43 ± 1.33 mm and a 3D angle deviation of 5.80 ± 4.12° (range 1.39-19.16°). The mean exit point deviation was 3.28 mm (±2.17). The abutment height deviation was on average 2.20 ± 1.35 mm. The accuracy of the abutment in the occlusal plane was 4.13 ± 2.53 mm. Surgical guides perform significantly better for the entry-point (P = 0.012) and 3D angle (P = 0.05); however, there is no significant difference in accuracy for the exit-point (P = 0.143) when using 3D printed drill guides or AR navigated surgery.ConclusionDespite the higher precision of surgical guides, AR navigation demonstrated acceptable accuracy, with potential for improvement and specialized applications. The study highlights the feasibility of AR navigation for zygomatic implant placement, offering an alternative to conventional methods.
