  • Biomechanical effects of medial and lateral translation deviations of femoral components in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty on tibial prosthesis fixation

    Prosthesis loosening is the leading cause of postoperative revision in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The deviation of medial and lateral translational installation of the prosthesis during surgery is a common clinical phenomenon and an important factor in increasing the risk of prosthesis loosening. This study established a UKA finite element model and a bone-prosthesis fixation interface micro-motion prediction model. The predicted medial contact force and joint motion of the knee joint from a patient-specific lower extremity musculoskeletal multibody dynamics model of UKA were used as boundary conditions. The effects of 9 femoral component medial and lateral translational installation deviations on the Von Mises stress of the proximal tibia, the contact stress, and the micro-motion of the bone prosthesis fixation interface were quantitatively studied. It was found that compared with the neutral position (a/A of 0.492), the lateral translational deviation of the femoral component significantly increased the tibial Von Mises stress and the bone-prosthesis fixation interface contact stress. The maximum Von Mises stress and the maximum contact stress of the fixation interface increased by 14.08% and 143.15%, respectively, when a/A was 0.361. The medial translational deviation of the femoral component significantly increased the bone-prosthesis fixation interface micro-motion. The maximum value of micro-motion under the conditions of femoral neutral and medial translation deviation was in the range of 20–50 μm, which is suitable for osseointegration. Therefore, based on the range of micro-motion reported in the literature as suitable for osseointegration and to reduce the risk of prosthesis loosening, it is recommended that clinicians control the mounting position of the femoral component during surgery within the safe range of 0–4 mm medial translation deviation and neutral position.
