The extramedullary guides for the tibial resection during medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are inaccurate, with an error risk in coronal and sagittal planes and cut thickness. It was our hypothesis that the use of anatomical landmarks for the tibial cut can help the surgeon to improve accuracy. The technique described in this paper is based on the use of a simple and reproducible anatomical landmark. This landmark is the line of insertion of the fibers of the deep medial collateral ligament (MCL) around the anterior half of the medial tibial plateau called the "Deep MCL insertion line". The used anatomical landmark determines the orientation (in the coronal and sagittal planes) and the thickness of the tibial cut. This landmark corresponds to the line of insertion of the fibers of the deep MCL around the anterior half of the medial tibial plateau. A consecutive series of patients who underwent primary medial UKA between 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 50 UKA were included. The mean age at the time of surgery was 54.5 ± 6.6 years (44-79). The radiographic measurements showed very good to excellent intra-observer and inter-observer agreements. The limb and implant alignments and the tibial positioning were satisfying, with a low rate of outliers and good restoration of the native anatomy. The landmark of the insertion of deep MCL constitutes a reliable and reproducible reference for the tibial cut axis and thickness during medial UKA, independent of the wear severity.
内侧单髁膝关节置换术(UKA)中胫骨截骨的髓外导向装置不准确,在冠状面、矢状面和截骨厚度方面存在误差风险。我们的假设是,使用解剖标志进行胫骨截骨可帮助外科医生提高准确性。本文所述技术基于使用一个简单且可重复的解剖标志。这个标志是内侧胫骨平台前半部分周围深层内侧副韧带(MCL)纤维的插入线,称为“深层MCL插入线”。所使用的解剖标志决定了胫骨截骨的方向(在冠状面和矢状面)和厚度。这个标志对应于内侧胫骨平台前半部分周围深层MCL纤维的插入线。对2019年至2021年间接受初次内侧UKA的一系列连续患者进行了回顾性研究。共纳入50例UKA。手术时的平均年龄为54.5±6.6岁(44 - 79岁)。影像学测量显示观察者内和观察者间的一致性非常好至极好。肢体和植入物的对线以及胫骨定位令人满意,异常值发生率低,原生解剖结构恢复良好。深层MCL插入的标志为内侧UKA期间胫骨截骨轴和厚度提供了一个可靠且可重复的参考,与磨损严重程度无关。
