Abstract:
Objective:To explore one-stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) combined with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for knee osteoarthritis complicated with tibial stress fracture.Methods:The 3 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated for knee osteoarthritis complicated with tibial stress fracture at Department of Orthopedics, Ganzhou District People＇s Hospital from March 2018 to March 2020. They were all female, aged from 54 to 76 years (average, 66 years). There were 2 transverse fractures and one short oblique fracture; all of them had knee varus deformity. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores averaged 37.6 (from 28 to 50) for the left knee and 28.3 (from 22 to 39) for the right knee. One-stage TKA was performed for the articular surface while ORIF for the right tibial stress fracture for all patients. Recorded were fracture union time, HSS knee score and range of articular motion.Results:The 3 patients were followed up for 25 to 44 months (average, 32 months).The fracture union time ranged from 4 to 7 months (average, 5 months). The last follow-ups revealed no such complications as prosthesis loosening, peri-prosthesis osteolysis or joint instability. Knee varus deformity was corrected in all patients. The HSS knee scores at the last follow-up averaged 89.6 (from 88 to 91) for the left knee and 88.3 (from 85 to 90) for the right knee.Conclusion:In the treatment of knee osteoarthritis complicated with tibial stress fracture, one-stage TKA combined with ORIF can restore the function of knee joint, leading to fine curative effects.
