摘要

Background: We compared the medium-term results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed using computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and conventional techniques in patients with extraarticular femoral deformities. Methods: The clinical and radiographic data of 40 knees (34 patients) with extraarticular femoral deformities that underwent consecutive CAS-TKA were compared with those of a control group that underwent conventional TKA (80 knees, 63 patients). No demographic data (in particular, the causes of the extraarticular deformities) differed between the two groups. The follow-up periods of the CAS and conventional TKA groups were 6.0 and 6.3 years, respectively. Results: In the CAS group, the average knee score increased from 48.2 to 89.6 at the final follow-up (P < .001); the average function score increased from 51.4 to 91.4. The range of motion averaged 105.5 degrees preoperatively and 123.3 degrees postoperatively. No significant differences were found in the knee score, function score, or range of motion after TKA between the 2 groups. The average preoperative mechanical axes were 18.1 degrees varus in both groups. The average postoperative mechanical axis was 1.4 degrees varus in the CAS group and 3.3 degrees varus in the conventional TKA group (P = .001). The proportion of postoperatively aligned knees was 77.5% in the CAS group and 32.5% in the conventional group (P < .001). Conclusion: Although the medium-term clinical results of TKA in extraarticular femoral deformities were satisfactory in both the CAS and conventional TKA groups, the former group exhibited more accurate postoperative coronal alignment. It was useful to employ navigation in patients with extraarticular deformities of various etiologies.
