Total Knee Arthoplasty..!!!
Aims:
• Restoration of mechanical axis
• Restoration of joint line
• Balance soft tissues
• Equalize flexion & extension gaps
• Restore patellofemoralalignment & mechanics
![Page 3: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Basic principles..!!
• Tibiofemoral alignment should be restored to 6±2º of anatomic valgus
Coronal plane: femur in 5-10 degrees of valgus
tibia resected at 90±2º in relation to
tibial shaft axis
Sagittal plane: femoral component in 0-10º of flexion
tibial component neutral or 5º posterior slope
Rectangular & equal flexion & extension gaps

Bone cuts in TKA..!!!
• Resection of proximal tibia influences both FLEXION & EXTENSION gaps
• Resection of distal femur selectively influences the EXTENSION gap
• Resection of posterior femur selectively influences the FLEXION gap
• Resection of anterior femur influences both FLEXION gap & PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT

Bone cuts in TKA..!!
Femoral sizing:
Antero-posterior femoral cuts
Posterior referencing Anterior referencing
If sizing falls into “between “ sizes:Smaller size recommended in anterior referencing to avoid over-stuffiing of flexion gapLarger size recommended in posterior referencing to avoid anterior notching of femur
![Page 8: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bone cuts in TKA..!!Rotation of femoral component
Antero-posterior femoral cuts
Epicondylar axis is 3º externally rotated to Posterior condylar axis
Whiteside’s line perpendicular to Epicondylar axis
In valgus knees posterior condylar axis distorted by dysplastic lateral femoral condyle
Relation between epicondylar axis & whiteside’s line remains constant
![Page 9: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bone cuts in TKA..!!Antero-posterior femoral cuts
Transepicondylar axis: key reference for rotation of femoral component
![Page 10: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Bone cuts in TKA..!!Antero-posterior femoral cuts
Headless pins in 3º external rotation Angels wing to estimate level of cut
![Page 12: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why usual 3 º external rotation??
Because tibial resections are performed perpendicular to long axis—not the normal 3º medial inclination of the medial plateau—externally rotated femoral component is necessary to ensure balanced flexion-extension gaps
Internal rotation of femoral component has higher rates of patellar mal-tracking & subluxation
![Page 13: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Rectangular flexion & extension gaps..!!
![Page 15: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Flexion & extension gaps…!!
Flexion gap & extension gaps should be rectangular & equal
![Page 16: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

BALANCING THE GAPS..!!
![Page 18: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BALANCING THE GAPS..!!
![Page 19: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
JOINT LINE LEVEL..!!!
Normal joint line Lowered joint line Elevated joint line
Correct joint line level should be maintained to ensure good patellar tracking & collateral ligament symmetry
![Page 20: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
JOINT LINE LEVEL..!!
Properly placed joint-line should be:
10 mm from lower pole of patella
approximately 30 mm distal to medial femoral epicondyle
25 mm distal to lateral epicondyle
10-15 mm proximal to fibular head
![Page 21: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TKR Failure..!!
1.Aseptic loosening
2.Instability3.Structural failure of implant
4.Sepsis
5.Extensor mechanism rupture
6.Stiffness
7.Peri-prosthetic fracture
8.Undiagnosed Pain
Little attention directed towards instability despite it being a cause of failure and reason for revision in 10-22 percent cases
![Page 22: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Leading causes for failure: INFECTION (38%) & INSTABILITY (27%)
Malalignment & Instability are major causes of early failue ,therefore ligamentous balancing & appropiate alignment are paramountin performing the surgery..!!

Use of increased constraint contributes to favorable outcome
Treatment without increased constraint were associated with residual instability requiring revision
![Page 44: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
FLEXION INSTABILITY..!!PS KNEES
DSF or” jump distance”:distance needed for cam to ride over the post before dislocating.
![Page 45: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
FLEXION INSTABILITY..!!PS KNEES
Most common activity leading dislocation is marked knee flexion plus a varusstress(putting ankle of operated limb on contralateral knee)
![Page 46: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
FLEXION INSTABILITY..!!• Loose flexion gap
associated with LCL laxity
At risk: who had correction of large valgus deformity & regained knee flexion with aggressive rehabilitation
1st dislocation:closedreduction ,trial of bracing & avoiding activity leading to dislocation
Recurrent dislocation:
1.Thicker insert(if room in extension space)
2. Constrained condylar implant
The new construct to be checked in fig-4 position.

• Sense of instability without giving away
• Difficulty ascending & descending stairs
• Recurrent knee effusions
• Peri-retinaculartenderness
• Excessive anterior translation
8 out of 10 patients of symptomatic flexion instability treated with revision arthoplasty.
1.Obtaining balanced flexion-extension gaps

Treatment
Non-operative :poor results
Operative :conversion to Posterior Stabilized implant design with focus on balancing flexion-extension gaps
FLEXION INSTABILITY..!!CR KNEES
![Page 50: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Mid flexion instability..!!!
• Relatively newly described problem
• When large distal femoral cut is made to address pre-op flexion contracture
• In full extension posterior capsule will provide varus-valgus stability. With knee past 30º flexion posterior capsule is no longer taut ,collaterals will be loose due to elevation of joint line & instability results..
![Page 51: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Mid-flexion instability..!!
Prevention:
Address pre-op flexion contracture with posterior capsule release & removal of osteophytes while minimizing excess distal femoral resection
![Page 52: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Preventing mid-flexion instability…!!
Flexion gap>>extension gap Posterior release
![Page 53: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Hyperextension..!!
Hyperextension after TKA is very difficult to correct
Best management is “Prevention”
Recurvatum :
1.Severe valgus deformity with ITB contracture :RA
2.Neuromuscular disease:Polio
3.Collateral instability may lead to recurvatum post-operatively
![Page 54: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Hyperextension..!!

Hyper-extension..!!
Krackow & Weiss collateral transfer.
Moving femoral origins of MCL & LCL proximally & posteriorly creates a tightening action during full extension of the knee
![Page 56: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
“HINGED TKR”
Hyper-extension..!!

Patellar instability..!!Etiology..
• Internal rotation & medialisation of femoral component
• Internal rotation malalignmentof tibial component
• Lateralisation of patellar button & faulty patellar resection
• Overall alignment of >10 degree valgus or femoral component in >7 degree valgus
Leading cause for revision surgery
Surprisingly, often the most neglected part of a TKA surgery!!!

Patellar instability..!!
IR femoral component: lateral patellar tilt & tendency to track laterally
![Page 60: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
Medialisation of femoral component has similar effect to that of internal rotation on lateral patellar tracking
![Page 61: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
Internal rotation of tibial component forces tibia into external rotation during flexion increasing the Q angle , leading to lateral patellar tracking &subluxation
![Page 62: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
Resection of more bone from medial facet is necessary to obtain symmetric patellar cut parallel to anterior surface
![Page 63: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
Overstuffing of patellofemoral joint tightens the lateral retinaculum increasing risk of lateral patellar tracking
![Page 64: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
Medialisation of patellar component allows patellar button to be centralisedin the trochlear groove
![Page 65: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
No thumbs technique..!!
Patella should track in the trochlear groove & medial facet should be in touch with femoral prosthesis throughout the ROM
![Page 66: Instability in TKR](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050808/55aa97ff1a28ab64188b45a2/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Patellar instability..!!
• Peri-patellar pain & limited flexion without symptoms of frank instability
• Usually pain has been present since surgery different from pain before surgery

Management…!
• Non-surgical measures :unsucessful
(strengthening VMO,Bracing)
In absence of component malposition:Lateral retinacularrelease with or without VMO advancement & medial plication
Osteotomy & medial displacement of tibial tubercle
(feared complications: patellar tendon rupture & non union of osteotomy)
When substantial malposition of components revision of components is the procedure of choice..!!

Prevention is better than cure..!!
“Preventing instability during primary surgery saves the revision surgery”..!!
