Abstract:
Objective To compare the kinematics of the knee joint of normal Chinese people and people after fixed-bearing posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty while doing weight-bearing deep knee-bending using fluoroscopy analysis.Methods From June to December 2010,ten volunteers and ten patients with fixed-bearing posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were required to perform weight-bearing deep knee-bending activity under surveillance of roentgenization,motion between femur and tibia was analyzed with interval of 15° according to two-to three-dimensional (2D-3D) registration technique.Results During weight-bearing deep knee-bending,the average weight-bearing maximal flexion was 136° in the normal group,which was significantly higher than the 125° in the TKA group.All 10 normal knees present posterior translation of femoral condyle during deep knee-bending,posterior translation of the lateral condyle was greater than medial condyle,thereby creating a medial pivot type of axial rotational pattern in which the tibia internally rotates relative to the femur as flexion increased.The average amount of posterior femoral translation of the medial condyle was 7.3±1.2 mm,whereas the lateral condyle translated posteriorly 19.3±3.1 mm.All knees experienced tibia rotated internally during progressive flexion,and the average amount of axial rotation for the ten subjects from 0° to 135° was 23.8±3.4°.From extension to maximal flexion,the average amount of posterior translation of medial condyle was 1.4±0.6 rmm,whereas the lateral condyle translated 6.4±1.7 mm in the posterior direction in the fixed-bearing posterior-stabilized TKA.The average amount of tibial internal rotation was 8.5°±3.4°.Conclusion In normal Chinese people,during knee flexion activities the lateral condyle experiences significantly more amount of posterior translation than the medial condyle,leading to the tibia present medial pivot internal rotation relative to the femur,and the PFC-Sigrna fixed-bearing posterior stabilized designs has the similar kinematics with normal knee,but the posterior condylar translation and tibial axial rotation are much less than the normal.
