: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining popularity worldwide, leading to a potential increase in the number of pin tracker-related complications. This study determined the effectiveness of periarticular pin tracker placement in the distal femur and proximal tibia through a single main incision during robotic-assisted TKA over a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. A consecutive series of 149 TKAs was performed in 108 patients using the triathlon posterior-stabilized total knee prosthesis with a robotic-assisted system at our hospital from December 2023 to February 2024. Clinical outcomes and complications associated with pin tracker sites, including pin-site infection, neurovascular injury, hematoma, soft-tissue morbidity, and pin-site fracture, were assessed. The mean Knee Society knee score improved from 42.5 preoperatively to 76.3 points at the final follow-up, whereas the mean Knee Society function score improved from 43.1 preoperatively to 78.1 points at the final follow-up (both < 0.05). No patient experienced any minor or major complications related to the use of pin trackers in the distal femur and proximal tibia. This periarticular technique that uses pin trackers in the distal femur and proximal tibia through a single main incision could be a useful option for orthopedic surgeons while performing robotic-assisted TKA.
机器人辅助全膝关节置换术(TKA)在全球范围内越来越受欢迎,导致与销钉跟踪器相关的并发症数量可能增加。本研究通过单一切口在机器人辅助 TKA 中确定了在股骨远端和胫骨近端放置关节周围销钉跟踪器的有效性,随访时间至少为 6 个月。2023 年 12 月至 2024 年 2 月,我院使用三通道后稳定型全膝关节假体和机器人辅助系统对 108 例患者连续进行了 149 例 TKA。评估了与销钉跟踪器部位相关的临床结果和并发症,包括销钉部位感染、神经血管损伤、血肿、软组织发病率和销钉部位骨折。术前膝关节协会膝关节评分平均为 42.5 分,末次随访时平均为 76.3 分,术前膝关节协会功能评分平均为 43.1 分,末次随访时平均为 78.1 分(均<0.05)。没有患者出现与股骨远端和胫骨近端使用销钉跟踪器相关的任何轻微或严重并发症。在进行机器人辅助 TKA 时,这种通过单一切口在股骨远端和胫骨近端使用销钉跟踪器的关节周围技术可能是骨科医生的一个有用选择。
