【 摘 要 】
BackgroundApart from transepicondylar axis, the native femoral sulcus was also reported to be used as a guide for the femoral component position in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, it was not shown in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. This study was conducted to compare the position of trochlear groove in patients with and without osteoarthritis, and to assess whether trochlear groove could be used as a guide for position of femoral component in TKA for severe knee osteoarthritis.MethodsTotal 50 severe knee osteoarthritis patients (Kellgren Lawrence grade 3 or 4) who underwent TKA were included. Meanwhile, 50 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery without osteoarthritis were included as control. The distance from trochlear groove to the midpoint of a virtual anterior condyle osteotomy line (parallel to the posterior condyle line) (a–b) was recorded by radiological and surgical measurements. Midpoint of transepicondylar axis and trochlear groove were used as guide for placing prosthesis model in TKA, respectively. No-thumb test was performed to assess the patellar tracking. The position of femoral component was finally performed using trochlear groove as guide in TKA.ResultsValue of “a–b” was significantly different between osteoarthritic and control knees (P = 0.008). During the placement of prosthesis model, similar patellar tracking was detected between using midpoint of transepicondylar axis and trochlear groove as guide (P > 0.05). After placing femoral component using trochlear groove as guide, most patients obtained good patellofemoral congruence with pneumatic tourniquet inflated (n = 43) or deflated (n = 5), and good patellofemoral congruence was also obtained by lateral patellar retinaculum release in two patients.ConclusionDespite the shifting of trochlear groove caused by severe knee osteoarthritis, trochlear groove can be used as a guide for position of femoral component, with equivalent patellar tracking compared with transepicondylar axis.
