Description of logistics, learning curve and radiological results in 70 patients treated with patient specific instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty as a standard procedure
The Orthopaedic Clinic Gersthof is a teaching hospital, where the entire spectrum of joint replacements with emphasis on hips and knees is performed. Twenty surgeons perform TKAs at our institution, with approximately 400 TKAs implanted per year.
The PSI system of Smith &Nephew® (Patient-Matched Cutting Blocks [PMCB]; the VISIONAIRE® technology) is applied. The preoperative image modality is based on a long leg standing X-ray as well as an MRI of the knee. The Genesis II® Endoprosthesis (Smith & Nephew®) is used as the TKA implant.
This study is a observational monocentric prospective study.
Estimated enrollment: 70 Enrollment time: September 2011-October 2012 Primary outcome: Alignment
The postoperative X-rays (AP, lateral view, and long leg standing), taken 7-to-10 days after surgery are evaluated in terms of component position and restoration of the mechanical alignment. X-rays are routinely monitor-guided but not calibrated at our institution.
As a secondary outcome the learning curve is evaluated using the following parameters collected during surgery: the fit of the cutting blocks, changes of the implant size, bony recuts, soft tissue releases, and changes in inlay size. Gap balancing was subjectively judged by the operating surgeon. Operation time, number of blood transfusions, and early postoperative complications were recorded within the first 14 days after surgery.

| Learning curve | In order to evaluate the learning curve associated with using VISIONAIRE® technology for TKA, the following parameters are registered during surgery: the fit of the cutting blocks[subjective grading by the surgeon], changes of the implant size[number of changes], bony recuts[number of recuts], soft tissue releases[number of releases, kind of release], and changes in inlay size [number of inlay changes]. Gap balancing is subjectively judged by the operating surgeon. Operation time[minutes], number of blood transfusions[units], and early postoperative complications associated with the treatment [kind and number] within the first 14 days after surgery are recorded. |
