MIS TKA today Prof. P Aglietti Director of the First Orthopaedic Clinic University of Florence, Italy
Promises, promises…… • Less trauma • Less pain • Less blood loss • Faster rehabilitation • Better cosmesis
Mini-Subvastus vsTraditional Medial ParaPatellar Prospective, matched case-control study Implants: LPS (stemmed tibial component) Analgesia: femoral nerve block + PCEA Mini-Subvastus – 60 TKA Traditional Medial ParaPatellar – 60 TKA Boerger-Aglietti, CORR 2005
Mini-Subvastus L-shaped capsular incision
Tibia first (in situ) Patella not everted
Results: in favor of Mini-SV Less blood loss Less pain day 1 Earlier SLR 90° reached sooner (statistically significant)
Disadvantages of Mini-SV • More tourniquet time • More complications (one each): • PT rupture • Lateral condyle fracture • Varus tibial component • Initial experience
Limitations of MIS Inflammatory arthritis Restricted flexion (less than 80°) Patella infera (IS-R < 0.6) Morbid obesity (BMI > 35.0) Risk of ischemic skin complications Very severe deformities (more than 20°) Large muscular males
Hypothesis Could we obtain the same MIS advantages with a shorter but more conventional approach, with less complications and more precision ?
Limited ParaPatellar Quad incision 5 cm above patella No patellar eversion
Femur first: distal cut from anterior (with downsized instrument)
Femoral a/p cuts (downsized cutting block)
Tibial cut with tibia subluxed forward (EM cutting jig)
Complete tibial exposure for a variety of tibial implants
Fluted High flex mobile RP Mini-keel TM
Limited ParaPatellar vsMini-Subvastus approach Prospective matched case-control study Same implant (LPS) and multimodal pain management Limited ParaPatellar – 30 TKA Mini-subvastus – 30 TKA Sensi-Aglietti, submitted to KSSTA 2007
Clinical results Subjective
Clinical results Objective
Mini-SV radiographic “imperfections” Tibial medialization Retained cement
1. Conclusion The Mini-Subvastus had easier recovery but more complications and more tourniquet time than the Traditional Parapatellar approach.
2. Conclusion Less invasive TKA is not for everybody: it has many limitations or contraindications.
3. Conclusion The Limited ParaPatellar was only slightly inferior to the Mini-Subvastus in the first weeks after surgery, but with less tourniquet time and improved radiographic results.
4. Conclusion Outcome of TKA is multifactorial: • “Less invasive” surgical technique • Preop patient education with clear expectations • Postoperative pain control • Rehabilitation
5. Conclusion “Less invasive” technique: • Reduced QT incision • No patella eversion • No tibial subluxation ?
6. Conclusion The “less invasive concept” is here to stay. It has stimulated new technical solutions, with small smart instruments and new surgical skills.
