| description | Introduction The optimal rotational alignment of the femoral component in a knee implant with navigation
devices is important for total knee arthroplasty. Measured resection and gap technique are available
intraoperative methods to determine the rotation of femur with navigation devices, but each of these methods
has its advantages and disadvantages. These aspects have contributed to the development and clinical
validation of navigation tools for large joint arthroplasty.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of determining the rotational alignment
of the femoral component in a knee implant with mechanical and robotic navigation devices as a basis
for processing intraoperative decision making by surgeons.
Material and methods The planning, execution and reporting of this systematic review were conducted
in accordance with the established Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses
(PRISMA) guidelines. Initially we identified 366 studies that corresponded to the main focus of this research,
and 158 studies were selected for analysis after the duplicates had been excluded. Ultimately, only 11 studies
fully met the selection criteria. The evaluation included the article data, the type of mechanical or robotic
navigation device, the number of cases, the complication rate, and the specifics of the preoperative,
intraoperative, and postoperative methods used for determining the rotation of the femoral component
in a knee implant in the cohorts reviewed. A total of 1,198 total knee arthroplasties reported in those studies
were analyzed.
Results and discussion It should be noted that in most of the scientific papers on the postoperative
complications of surgeries that involved various navigation devices, the information about them was
incomplete or the patients with complications were excluded from the study. In general, the incidence
of complications averaged 2 %.
Conclusions When the navigation devices are used, the preoperative planning of the femoral component
alignment frequently remains unperformed, and techniques and reference points used in surgeries are
the same as in the traditional technique. The postoperative monitoring of rotational alignment of the knee
implant is performed exclusively when complications are detected. |
