          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Foram avaliados e comparados os eixos mecânicos pós-operatórios de 36 artroplastias totais de joelho pelos sistemas de alinhamento navegado e mecânico feitos no mesmo período pelo mesmo cirurgião e equipe, iniciantes na técnica navegada e com experiência na técnica mecânica. MÉTODOS: Entre 2008 e 2010, 36 próteses totais de joelho foram executadas e comparadas, 25 navegadas e 11 mecânicas. Qualquer desvio de eixo medido no RX panorâmico pós-operatório foi considerado positivo. RESULTADOS: As próteses navegadas obtiveram média de desvio de eixo de 1,32 graus e desvio padrão de 1,57 graus e as mecânicas, respectivamente, 3,18 e 2,99 graus. Houve um melhor alinhamento com tendência à diferença estatística em favor da técnica navegada. CONCLUSÃO: Os casos com desvio de eixo maior que três graus foram significativamente maiores na técnica mecânica. A técnica por navegação foi incorporada por nossa equipe sem complicações adicionais e, mesmo sem experiência em cirurgia navegada, os primeiros casos obtiveram melhor alinhamento em relação à técnica mecânica e número significativamente menor de casos fora da zona de segurança de três graus em relação ao eixo mecânico.

          OBJETIVE: The postoperative mechanical axis in 36 cases of total knee arthroplasty using navigated and mechanical alignment systems was evaluated and compared. All the operations were performed over the same period by the same surgeon and team, who were beginners in the navigated technique and experienced in the mechanical technique. METHODS: Between 2008 and 2010, 36 total knee prostheses were performed and compared: 25 navigated and 11 mechanical procedures. Any deviation from the axis measured on the panoramic postoperative X-ray was considered positive. RESULTS: The navigated prostheses produced a mean axis deviation of 1.32 degrees and standard deviation of 1.57 degrees and the mechanical, respectively 3.18 and 2.99 degrees. There was better alignment with a tendency towards a statistical difference favoring the navigated technique. CONCLUSION: There were significantly more cases with axis deviation greater than three degrees using the mechanical technique. The navigated technique was incorporated by this team without additional complications and, even without experience of navigated surgery, the initial cases achieved better alignment than with the mechanical technique, and a significantly smaller number of outliers from the three-degree safety zone.

          Alignment in total knee arthroplasty. A comparison of computer-assisted surgery with the conventional technique.

          Restoration of neutral alignment of the leg is an important factor affecting the long-term results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recent developments in computer-assisted surgery have focused on systems for improving TKA. In a prospective study two groups of 80 patients undergoing TKA had operations using either a computer-assisted navigation system or a conventional technique. Alignment of the leg and the orientation of components were determined on post-operative long-leg coronal and lateral films. The mechanical axis of the leg was significantly better in the computer-assisted group (96%, within +/- 3 degrees varus/valgus) compared with the conventional group (78%, within +/- 3 degrees varus/valgus). The coronal alignment of the femoral component was also more accurate in the computer-assisted group. Computer-assisted TKA gives a better correction of alignment of the leg and orientation of the components compared with the conventional technique. Potential benefits in the long-term outcome and functional improvement require further investigation.
