Preoperative Planning of TKR - “ Ä cookbook approach to TotalKnee Arthoplasty is deplorable..Dr John Insall”. Principles of Knee replacement Surgery. Principle 1:Distal femoral valgus averages nine degrees. Prrinciple 2:Every patient’s anatomy is different.

Preoperative Planning of TKR-“Ä cookbook approach to TotalKnee Arthoplasty is deplorable..Dr John Insall”
Principle 3:Knee instruments were developed for aerage anatomy
Principle 4:Resections from the distal femur alter ligament tension in extension whereas resections from the posterior condyles alter ligament tension in flexion
Principle 5: Assymetric bone resection alter ligament balance
Preoperative Radiiographs • AP weight bearing radiograph with knee in maximum extension using 14”x17”cassette • Full limb 51”study if there is previious fracture or surgery on femur • Table-down lateral view in 90degrees flexion for implant size determination
Lateral Xrays show bone loss with OA mostly on tibia side and PCL contracture Lateral condlyle
Templating Sequence • Define the patient’s anatomy- AP Xrays • Plan distal femoral resection- AP Xrays • Plan Tibial resection- AP Xrays • Plan posterior condyle resections- Lateral Xrays • Select femoral component size- Lateral Xrays • Plan Ligament releases- AP Xrays
1. Define the patient’s anatomy o 9 valgus o 6 varus o 7 varus Proximaltibial angle Distal femoral angle Tibiofemoral angle
2.Plan distal femoral resection-AP Xrays o 6 More bone removed from end medial Femoral condyle with six degree valgus Cut from a nine degree valgus femur
3.Plan tibia resection-AP Xray 8-10mm o 90 90 degree tibia resection On AP Xray
4.Plan posterior condylar resections-lateral Xray Equal distal and posterior cuts planned Distal cut Posterior cut
5.Select component size-lateral Xray Varus knee;use smaller condyle to Template for component size
6.Plan ligament releases- AP Xray Release of contracted medial structures will permit appropiate tensioning of the convex lateral ligaments
The Valgus Knee SIX DEGREES FEMORAL RES ECTION CUTS MORE MEDIAL CONDYLE o o 15 6
Medial condyle In valgus knee,template the relatively normal medial condyle
The Varus Knee o 6 9mm 8mm 6 degree valgus cut Removes more bone laterally And no more than 10mm
Posterior resection match distal resection and lateral condyle for templating
SURGICAL PROCEDURE • Best location for femoral joint placement • Thickness of distal and posterior bone resections for optimum ligament balance • Potential need for tibia bone graft • PCL status and need for release • Need for lateral or mediial ligament release • Correct size femoral component required
