Introduction
• Of the 200,000 TKAs performed in the U.S. in 1996, 50,000(1/4) were performed in patients under 65y/o
• 20,000 revision TKAs in 1996 alone
• More and more individuals at risk for implant failure
![Page 3: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Implant Failure
• 2 causes of implant failure;– 1.aseptic loosening– 2.wear related osteolysis
![Page 4: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Implant Failure continued…
• Both result in loss of periprosthetic bone
• Stability of revision implant depends on quantity and quality of metaphyseal bone
• ID bone defects on prerevision radiographs is a crucial part of preoperative planning
![Page 5: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Goals
• Shorten the learning curve of the implant system– Appropriate size- fracture vs. loosening
• Correction of leg length discrepancies – Correct during surgery
• Formulate alternative plans if procedure of choice can not be performed - special equipment on standby
![Page 6: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Results
• Proficient preoperative planning leads to a reduction in surgical time
• It minimizes or eliminates the need for repeated steps
![Page 7: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Planning: X-Rays
• Radiographs of good quality
• Known magnification
![Page 8: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Radiographs of Good Quality
• AP and lateral
• AP– Must include sufficient amount of proximal
femur for templating– Must provide a scale for magnification– Proper rotation- internal rotation of the hip until
the head and neck are parallel with the cassette
![Page 9: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rotational Error
• Degree of error in sizing is a function of the rotational distortion
• Closer to an ideal AP projection less error in templating
![Page 10: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Leg Length Discrepancy
• Draw a line at the level of the ischial tuberosities
• Relationship between this line and the lesser trochanter allows for assessment
• Measure and record any discrepancies
![Page 11: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Template of the Acetabulum
• Position template so that the center of the prosthesis reproduces the center of rotation of the head
• Typically the inferior margin of the acetabulum lies at the level of the obturator foramen
![Page 12: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sizing of the Acetabulum
• Implant should contact as much of the acetabular bone as possible
• Do not remove excessive amount of subchondral bone
• Medial position should be at the tear drop
• Eccentricities can be managed with bone grafting or eccentric cement mantles
![Page 13: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Position of the Acetabular Component
• 15 degrees of anteversion:– measured as the largest distance of the cup
opening on the AP centered on the cup
• 40 degrees of inclination:– measured as the angle between the longitudinal
axis of the cup opening and the tear drop line
![Page 14: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Template of the Femur• Must allow for cement
mantle with cemented arthroplasties
• Size and location of mantle are discretion of the surgeon
• Press fit must fill the proximal canal
• Size determined by template that best fits the upper femur
![Page 15: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Head and Neck Size
• No leg length discrepancy:– superimpose the center of the prosthetic head
and femoral head to the acetabular center of the hip
• Leg length discrepancy:– distance from the acetabular center to the
femoral center should equal the discrepancy
![Page 16: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Type and Size of the Femoral Component
• Determined by adjusting medial side of the component to medial wall of the canal
• The trochanteric line of the template is placed at the apex of the greater trochanter
• Size determines the amount of offset
• Larger the prosthesis the larger the offset
![Page 17: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Neck Resection• Template will indicate the neck resection level
– easily measured from the proximal aspect of the lesser trochanter
– reproduced in surgery with adequate exposure– can also utilize the relationship between the tip of the
greater trochanter and the prosthetic femoral head
• Any measurements must be done with a ruler whose scale is magnified the same amount as the x-ray
![Page 18: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Completed Template
• Line B to C: leg length discrepancy
• Point D: center of the acetabulum
• Point E: center of femoral head
• Line F: intended level of resection
![Page 19: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Final Planning
• Most templates include a magnified scale• Lateral x-ray templating done in a similar fashion• Size of the medullary plug can be determined by
measuring the canal at the level of the stem• Templating the non-operative side in complicated
revision cases is often helpful to assess the need for special equipment or bone graft
![Page 20: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Checking the Plan• Fitting of trial components and instrumentation• In uncemented THAs criteria for the tightness of
the stem– apply predetermined rotation and extraction forces
• Postoperative x-rays: – compare components, cuts, and leg length to preop
plan
– check acetabular placement and orientation as well as fit of the femoral stem
![Page 21: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Summary
• Preoperative planning is a necessary first step
• Shorten learning curve of prosthetic system
• Minimize intraoperative guess work
• Decrease surgical time
• Allows for precision and reproduceability

History
• Both Charnley and Muller emphasized the importance of preop radiographs in deciding the type and size of prosthesis, in achieving the correct position and orientation of the components, in equalizing leg length and in reducing intraoperative complications
![Page 24: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Study
• 100 consecutive patients
• THR secondary to idiopathic OA from 1985-1988

92% size
Acetabulum- 100% type
90% size
Leg length- 0.9 preop
0.3 postop
![Page 27: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Discussion

![Page 30: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Results
• Preop estimate of magnification differed from actual magnification
• Preop bone morphology did not correlate with type of femoral stem fixation
• Preop estimate– Acetabular cups- 62%– Cemented stem- 78%– Cementless- 42%Leg length equalization
70%
![Page 31: PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF REVISION TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY J.J. Prosser, D.O](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/56812fa2550346895d9521dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Discussion
• Surgeons need better methods to estimate bone morphology and magnification from preop radiographs
• Preop planning may not reduce intraoperative complications
