Abstract
Purpose

To assess the radiological position and the short-term clinical outcome of a series of unicompartmental knee prostheses implanted through a small incision.

Materials and methods

Retrospective review of the first 44 arthroplasties of this kind performed in our Department with a minimum 1-year follow-up. The study includes an analysis of the relationship between the result obtained in terms of the American Knee Society score and the patients’ age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis, number of previous surgeries and 25 radiological variables recorded on the basis of anteroposterior, lateral and axial views. Any errors in the positioning of each of the components on the different planes were also determined.

Results

The results obtained are significantly poorer the higher the body mass index (r=- 0.42; p=0.01) and the higher the degree of posterior inclination of the tibial component (r=-0.34; p=0.02); this difference is statistically significant from 8° (t=-2.15; p=0.04) onwards. The greatest variability in terms of prosthetic placement is found in the degree of rotation of the tibial component on the axial plane and in the flexion-extension of the femoral component on the sagittal plane. Surgical expertise is crucial when it comes to sound prosthetic placement, with significantly fewer errors being committed by surgeons who perform the procedure habitually (t=2,06; p=0,04).

Conclusions

Unidcondylar knee replacement is an attractive yet technically demanding therapeutic alternative for unicompartmental pathology, which is associated to a mandatory learning curve. In addition to appropriate patient selection, correct implant placement is crucial to obtain a satisfactory end result.

Resumen
Objetivos

Valorar la posición radiológica y el resultado clínico a corto plazo de una serie de prótesis unicompartimentales de rodilla implantadas mediante mínima incisión.

Material y método

Revisión retrospectiva de las primeras 44 artroplastias de este tipo realizadas en el servicio de este hospital con un seguimiento mínimo de un año. Se analizó la relación existente entre el resultado obtenido según la escala de la American Knee Society y la edad del sujeto, el sexo, el indice de masa corporal (IMC), el diagnóstico, el número de cirugías previas y 25 variables radiológicas registradas a partir de proyecciones anteroposterior, lateral y axial. Se determinaron, a su vez, los errores en el posicionamiento de cada uno de los componentes en todos los planos.

Resultados

Se encontraron resultados significativamente peores cuanto mayor era el IMC (coeficiente de correlación [r] = -0,42; p = 0,01) y cuanto mayor era el grado de inclinación posterior del componente tibial (r = -0,34; p = 0,02), estadísticamente a partir de los 81 (t = -2,15; p = 0,04). La mayor variabilidad en la colocación protésica se encontró en el grado de rotación del componente tibial en el plano axial y en el grado de flexoextensión del femoral en el plano sagital. La experiencia quirúrgica es determinante en la implantación correcta de la prótesis, y se han demostrado menores errores de forma significativa cuanto mayor número de cirugías se realizara (t = 2,06; p = 0,04).

Conclusiones

La prótesis unicondílea de rodilla es una alternativa terapéutica atractiva para la enfermedad unicompartimental, aunque es técnicamente demandante y necesita una curva de aprendizaje obligada. Además de una buena selección del sujeto, la implantación correcta de los componentes resulta fundamental para un resultado final satisfactorio.
