The KineSpring System is an alternative treatment offered in selected symptomatic patients suffering from mild to moderate medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). This device reduces medial compartment loads in the OA knee without compromising the integrity of the lateral or patellofemoral knee compartments, maintaining the normal knee anatomy. Currently, papers about KineSpring System installation show promising results. The current authors describe a case of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) employed to treat medial knee OA after Kinespring system failure.
A 64-year old male patient presented to our hospital after failure of a Kinespring system implantation into his left knee at an external hospital, where the outcomes obtained were not satisfactory. The surgical options discussed with the patient were the TKA or medial UKA. A medial UKA was preferred by the patient.
One year from UKA, the patient complained of frequent joint effusions and weight bearing pain despite a good ROM without radiographic signs of implant loosening. Therefore, after two years we replaced UKA with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Further experience is needed to provide reliable clinical data about the results of the UKA after KineSpring System discharge.
KineSpring系统是为患有轻至中度膝关节内侧骨关节炎(OA)的特定有症状患者提供的一种替代治疗方法。该装置可减轻OA膝关节内侧间室的负荷,同时不损害膝关节外侧或髌股间室的完整性,维持膝关节正常解剖结构。目前,有关KineSpring系统植入的文献显示出有前景的结果。本文作者描述了1例在KineSpring系统失效后采用单髁膝关节置换术(UKA)治疗膝关节内侧OA的病例。
一名64岁男性患者在外部医院左膝KineSpring系统植入失败后来到我院,在外部医院获得的治疗结果并不理想。与患者讨论的手术选择是全膝关节置换术(TKA)或内侧UKA。患者更倾向于内侧UKA。
UKA术后1年,尽管患者关节活动度良好且无植入物松动的影像学迹象,但仍主诉频繁出现关节积液和负重疼痛。因此,2年后我们将UKA翻修为全膝关节置换术(TKA)。
需要更多经验来提供关于KineSpring系统取出后UKA结果的可靠临床数据。
