Comparisons of the Efficacy and Safety of Total Knee Arthroplasty by Different Surgical Approaches: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this network meta-analysis was to investigate the efficacy and safety of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) considering seven different surgical approaches. Four databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science) were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving TKA with different surgical approaches. STATA 14.0 was used to construct network maps and publication bias graphs and conduct inconsistency tests, network meta-analyses, and surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) calculations. A total of 51 RCTs involving 4061 patients and 4179 knees from 18 countries were included. Among the seven surgical approaches, the midvastus approach (MV) was the top choice to reduce tourniquet use time, the subvastus approach (SV) had the shortest operation time, the mini-midvastus approach (Mini-SV) was associated with the least amount of time to achieve straight leg raise (SLR) after surgery, the mini-medial parapatellar approach (Mini-MP) reduced postoperative pain effects, and the medial parapatellar approach (MP) was the best approach to improve range of motion (ROM). Excluding the quadriceps-sparing approach (QS), which was not compared, the use of the mini-midvastus (Mini-MV) may shorten the hospital stay. There were no significant differences in blood loss, postoperative complications, American Knee Society Score (AKSS) objective, or AKSS functional between the seven surgical approaches (P > 0.05).

Project description:ObjectiveTotal knee replacement (TKA) is an effective way to treat teratogenic and disabling knee diseases such as advanced osteoarthritis. Tourniquets are often used in TKA to reduce bleeding and to get a better visualization of the surgical field, while it is related to safety concerns. We did this network meta-analysis to comprehensively compare the efficacy and safety of various tourniquet application strategies.MethodPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang Database were systematically searched from January 1990 to May 2020. A network meta-analysis with a frequentist framework was done to assess the relative efficacy and safety by comparing seven clinical important endpoints.Results38 eligible studies that assessed 3007 participants who underwent TKA were included in this network meta-analysis. Tourniquet inflation before osteotomy then deflation after wound closure effectively reduce perioperative bleeding (WMD compared with control group -234.66, 95% CI [-409.19 to -60.13]), while shortening the operation time (WMD -8.98, 95%CI [-14.07 to -3.88]) and reducing postoperative complications, including DVT (OR -0.58, 95%CI [-1.19 to 0.03]) and minor wound complications (OR -1.38, 95%CI [-3.00 to 0.25]). No difference was found in the late postoperative knee pain and function outcomes.ConclusionsUsing tourniquets during the entire operation can effectively reduce blood loss, but it also can cause many safety problems, including DVTs, wound oozing, delayed healing, and serious wound complications. Tourniquet inflation before osteotomy then deflation after wound closure effectively can reduce perioperative bleeding while shortening the operation time and reducing postoperative complications, so it could be the ideal tourniquet application strategy in TKA.Key messagesThis is the first study that comprehensively compared different tourniquet application strategies to evaluate their impact on postoperative recovery following TKA, and five clinically important endpoints were assessed in this study: perioperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain and function, and complications.We conclude that tourniquet inflation before osteotomy then deflation after wound closure could be the ideal tourniquet application strategy in TKA.

Project description:ObjectiveTo search, review, and analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulants from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of anticoagulants for THA and TKA.DesignPRISMA-compliant Bayesian Network Meta-analysis.Data sources and study selectionThe databases of The Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrial, and Cochrane Library databases were searched until March 2017 for RCTs of patients undergoing a THA or TKA.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary efficacy measurement was the venous thromboembolism Odds ratio (OR). The safety measurement was the odds ratio of major or clinically relevant bleeding. OR with 95% credibility intervals (95%CrIs) were calculated. Findings were interpreted as associations when the 95%CrIs excluded the null value.ResultsThirty-five RCTs (53787 patients; mean age range, mostly 55-70 years; mean weight range, mostly 55-90 kg; and a higher mean proportion of women than men, around 60%) included the following Anticoagulants categories: fondaparinux, edoxaban, rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran, low-molecular-weight heparin, ximelagatran, aspirin, warfarin. Anticoagulants were ranked for effectiveness as follows: fondaparinux (88.89% ± 10.90%), edoxaban (85.87% ± 13.34%), rivaroxaban (86.08% ± 10.23%), apixaban (68.26% ± 10.82%), dabigatran (41.63% ± 12.26%), low-molecular-weight heparin (41.03% ± 9.60%), ximelagatran (37.81% ± 15.87%), aspirin (35.62% ± 20.60%), warfarin (9.89% ± 9.07%), and placebo (4.56% ± 6.37%). Ranking based on clinically relevant bleeding events was as follows: fondaparinux (14.53% ± 15.25%), ximelagatran (18.93% ± 17.49%), rivaroxaban (23.86% ± 15.14%), dabigatran (28.30% ± 14.18%), edoxaban (38.76% ± 24.25%), low-molecular-weight heparin (53.28% ± 8.40%), apixaban (71.81% ± 10.92%), placebo (76.26% ± 14.61%), aspirin (86.32% ± 25.74%), and warfarin (87.95% ± 11.27%). No statistically significant heterogeneity was observed between trials.Conclusions and relevanceAccording to our results, all anticoagulant drugs showed some effectiveness for VTE prophylaxis. Our ranking indicated that fondaparinux and rivaroxaban were safer and more effective than other anticoagulant drugs for patients undergoing THA or TKA.
