The study aimed to determine the predictability of postoperative TFS before surgery and the effect of TFS on clinical outcomes after fixed-bearing UKA. The results showed that preoperative assessment of TFS under valgus stress could be a predictor of postoperative TFS, and uncorrectable TFS could lead to increased pain and decreased patient satisfaction 2 years after surgery.
Introduction The presence of tibiofemoral subluxation (TFS) in patients with unicompartmental arthritis, a potential contraindication to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), remains controversial and is not commonly discussed. This study aimed to determine the predictability of postoperative TFS before surgery and the effect of TFS on clinical outcomes after fixed-bearing UKA. Materials and methods In total, 70 patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the knee who underwent fixed-bearing UKA from January 2015 to January 2017 were included. The preoperative TFS was assessed using plain anteroposterior and valgus stress radiographs. The patients were classified into three groups as follows: group A (acceptable TFS, n = 36) comprising patients with preoperative TFS less than 5.0 mm; group C (correctable TFS, n = 17) comprising patients with preoperative TFS of more than 5.0 mm but corrected to less than 5.0 mm under valgus stress; and group U (uncorrectable TFS, n = 17) comprising patients with preoperative TFS of more than 5.0 mm under valgus stress. Patient-derived clinical scores were assessed with the 2011 Knee Society Score preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. The results were compared among the three groups using analysis of variance. Results Group U showed significantly higher postoperative TFS than groups A and C. Improvements in symptoms and patient satisfaction scores 2 years after surgery were significantly higher in groups A and C than in group U. Conclusion Preoperative assessment of TFS under valgus stress could be a predictor of postoperative TFS. Furthermore, preoperative uncorrectable TFS could increase pain and decrease patient satisfaction 2 years after undergoing fixed-bearing UKA.
