Background: In unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), there is no consensus regarding how to determine the anteroposterior (AP) reference of the tibia. A number of surgeons in Japan perform the sagittal saw cut using the medial intercondylar ridge (MIR) of the tibia according to surgical manuals. However, there is no theoretical basis for this practice. Methods: Preoperative computed tomography data from 32 lower limbs of 31 Japanese patients who received UKA were used. First, the angles between the surgical epicondylar axis and the MIR and the substitute AP (sAP) line connecting the medial border of the patellar tendon at the articular surface level and the medial intercondylar tubercle were measured. Next, the mediolateral (ML)/AP ratio of the tibial cut surface was measured when cut parallel to the MIR and sAP line. Finally, the ML/AP ratio of the tibial component was investigated in 4 contemporary UKA implants. Results: The MIR and sAP line were externally rotated 94.9 degrees +/- 4.1 degrees and 90.4 degrees +/- 3.6 degrees relative to the surgical epicondylar axis, respectively. Compared with a cut parallel to the MIR, the mean ML/AP ratio of the cut surface was significantly larger, and the ML/AP ratio was closer to the ML/AP ratio of the components for a cut parallel to the sAP line. Conclusion: Obtaining the tibial AP orientation is one of the key steps not only in total knee arthroplasty but also in UKA. The sagittal cut referencing the sAP line provides better AP rotation and fitting of the tibia in UKA than referencing the MIR. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
