説明

Soft tissue balance is one of the key factors affecting the clinical results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term results of total knee arthroplasty using a VANGUARD RP High-Flex knee system and soft tissue balance assessment using a tensor device and clinical transepicondylar axis. We carried out 47 TKAs in 37 patients (11 knees in 10 men and 36 knees in 27 women;mean patient age 74.3 years). The preoperative diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 41 cases, rheumatoid arthritis in 5, and osteonecrosis of the knee in 1.<br>The patients were evaluated postoperatively for change in range of motion (ROM), knee rating score, and also by radiographic analysis. The mean active preoperative knee extension was -10.2 degrees, and the mean active preoperative knee flexion was 114.2. Post-operatively, the range of knee extension was increased, and the knee rating score was improved from 60 to 85. None of the patients showed any problems with component angles on plain radiographs (α, β, γ and ∂ angles).<br>In this study, satisfactory early results were achieved for TKA with the VANGUARD RP High-Flex knee system. Our results suggest that EQUI-FLEXTM and the clinical transepicondylar axis are useful for achieving good balance.
