The second design, calledan onlay, removes the tibial edge andincludes a metal backed plate whichrests on the resected tibia. The purposeof this study was to use finiteelement analysis to investigate the hypothesisthat while inlay componentsrequire less bone removal, the stressesand strains at the surface of the bonewill be greater when compared to onlaycomponents.• Results indicated that plastic inlaysgenerated six times more peak stressat the tibial surface when comparedto metal-backed onlays.• Moreover, models using inlay componentsproduced strain valuesgreater than onlay components by afactor of nearly 13.5.Figure 14.

Figure 15. The reconstructed femurs were brought into a standardized alignment basedon the identification of 10 control points defining the articular surfaces and epicondyles.From this standard alignment, sagittal arcs were fit to the medial condyle and the patellararticular sulcus, and the arc centers and radii were determined (black circles on rightfigure).deleterious effects on patellar trackingand midterm performance of the implantis not yet known.A recent study by Banks 16 and colleaguesexamined the morphologyof the reconstructed CT scans of 117knees and found that the anteroposterior(AP) and proximodistal (PD) relationshipsbetween the condylar andtrochlear arc centers were highly variable.There was no significant correlationbetween the AP femur size andthe AP distance from condylar to PFarc centers or between the mediolateral(ML) femur size and the AP distancefrom condylar to PF arc centers.The standard errors for these regressionswere at least 4.5mm. There werestatistically significant relationshipsbetween the AP and ML femur sizeand the PD distance from condylar toPF arc centers; however the standarderrors were also at least 4mm. Thesedata show that the geometric relationshipbetween the femoral condylesand patellar trochlea is highly variable.A multicompartment resurfacing approachmight better restore femoralanatomy compared to a monoblockapproach, with the potential to provideenhanced arthroplasty function whilemaintaining the functional integrity ofthe natural lateral compartment.<strong>Surgical</strong> Technique/Robotic Arm Use/IndicationsAre Partial Knee ReplacementCandidates Receiving a TKA?Radiographic studies have shown thatmost osteoarthritis of the knee affectsonly one or two compartments, rarelyall three 17-18 . A recent study by Arno 19et al looked at the resected bones of97 varus TKA patients visually to assessthe cartilage integrity using theWeidow grading scale 20 . The operativereports were also reviewed for possiblecontraindications to early interventionprocedures. It was found that 61% ofthe cases had healthy lateral compartmentcartilage. When strictly applyingKozinn and Scott indications forUKA 21 , it was found that 21% of thecases could have been treated with aUKA, with of course this percentagepotentially higher if the patients weretreated earlier.In another study, we retrospectively reviewedpre- and post-operative notesfrom 406 consecutive TKA patientsfrom a single surgeon 22 . Intra-operativedata included the integrity of thethree compartments and ACL. Firstly,the ACL was intact in 66% of thesecases. Based on these data alone, 16%of these TKA patients were indicatedfor a unicompartmental arthroplasty,12% medial UKA, 3% lateral UKAand 1% PFA. In addition, 31% wereindicated for bicompartmental arthroplastywith 4% bicondylar (medialand lateral UKA), 6% lateral UKA andPFA and 21% medial UKA and PFA.While these data don’t yet account forfixed versus flexible deformities,excessive osteophytes or other contraindications,it seems clear that thediseased knee often treated with aTKA does not actually involve all threecompartments.8Cartilage Health and AssessmentThe question remains whether the lateralcartilage in these cases had adequatemechanical properties to sustainphysiologic loading should a medialUKR procedure have been performed.One measure of this is the indentationstiffness of the cartilage. Others haveobtained this information through theuse of a device such as the Artscan200 and the Actaeon Probe. Bothwere designed for short-duration indentationtesting of the cartilage inorder to assess cartilage viability. Theauthors designed and constructed anindentor, with similar objectives to theabove devices, optimized for use in alab setting, to measure the resistiveforce as an indentor was pressed intothe cartilage surface at a prescribeddistance. By analyzing the lateralcartilage of resection samples fromTKR cases the authors sought to determineif cases found to be visuallyand histologically healthy had resistiveforce values which were also indicativeof healthy cartilage and thereforecould have sustained loading had aUKR been performed. 23 In this study,twenty two bone resection samplespresenting with predominantly medialOA were obtained within 24 hours ofsurgery were examined visually, histologicallyand mechanically. There wasstrong agreement between the visualand indentation results. This is significantin that it suggests that cases thatappear to have normal cartilage wouldalso have the capability of sustainingload.Tibial Slope Leveling in Medial UKAfor ACL DeficiencyPatients with anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) deficiency may have increasedfailure rates with UKA as a resultof abnormal contact stresses andaltered knee kinematics. Variations inthe slope of the tibial component inUKA may alter tibiofemoral translation,and affect outcomes. A recentcadaveric study evaluated tibiofemoraltranslation during the Lachman andpivot shift tests after changing theslope of the unicondylar tibial component(Fig. 16).

A recent studyhypothesized that robotic arm technologywould provide improved controlover the amount of mechanical alignmentcorrection achieved dependingon the pre-operative deformity. 72 patientsprospectively underwent roboticarm medial UKA by a single surgeonbetween 2007 and 2009. Radiographicmechanical alignment measurementswere performed in all patientswith pre-operative and 3-month postoperativefull-leg standing radiographs(n=39). The mean changes were in prevspost-operative mechanical alignmentwere calculated and the amountof correction achieved depending onthe severity of the pre-operative deformity(A=9° varus)was analyzed with ANOVA and linearregression (α=0.05). Mean correctionin the combined groups was 3.12°(SD=2.76) from 7.09° varus pre-operatively(SD = 4.33°) to 3.97° varuspost-operatively (SD=3.51º) (p


properties of articular cartilage, aswell as local thickness. Medical andengineering software is now availablewhereby three dimensional modelscan be made from MRI scans, togetherwith analyses of thickness and volume.These techniques can have a usefulapplication in studying the progressof osteoarthritis (OA) and in planningand designing Early Intervention (EI)treatments. While many studies havebeen carried out on the end-stage ofOA, there have been few reports ofthe progress of the cartilage loss fromthe earliest stages. A recent study byWalker et al. 26 determined the locationsand magnitudes of the cartilageloss of the knee joint, and the progressionof OA in order to understand themechanical factors involved. Further,from this data, types of EI treatments,such as small implant components,which could be employed to arrest theprogress of the OA process were determined.The MRI scans (3T Siemens,Malvern, PA) from 18 patients withsymptomatic early OA were analyzed.The femoral and tibial cartilage modelswere subdivided into 6 regions. Eachregion then underwent thickness analysisdisplayed with a colorcoded thicknessmap in RapidForm. From the 18cases, 4 representative examples withincreasing K-L grades were selected toshow the progression of the cartilageloss (Fig. 19).Results showed that most early OA inthe knee presented in the distal regionof the medial femoral articular cartilage,leaving the posterior condyles intact.The medial tibia also matched thewear shown on the femoral condylebut did not present a consistent regionof wear, which may be explainedby the variations in ligament laxity andthe condition of the meniscus. Thesepatterns of cartilage loss are consistentwith the impact forces generatedat the heel strike and the toe off phasesof walking. The information fromthis study is crucial for the design offuture EI implants, as it points to theopportunity of preserving maximal viablecartilage while resurfacing onlythe damaged areas. Such early interventiontechniques could significantlydelay the progression of knee osteoarthritisand thus improve the quality oflife of many patients.Figure 19. Cartilage degeneration over the increasing K-L grades from 4 representativeknee MRI scans at 00 flexion.Cartilage Damage and ClinicalSymptomsThe most commonly used radiographicalgrading method is the KellgrenLawrence (KL) classification 27 . Thismethod defines severity of osteoarthritis(OA) primarily by the amount ofjoint space narrowing, the presence ofosteophytes and the condition of theunderlying bone. While KL grade assessesthe condition of the joint, selfassessmentquestionnaires, such asWOMAC and SF-36, are often used todetermine a patient’s level of discomfort.There is currently little researchwhich compares the condition of thecartilage itself to the KL grade andWOMAC scores. (Fig. 19) A study usedmagnetic resonance imaging of patientswith various stages of osteoarthritisto determine if thickness andvolume mapping of the cartilage wouldcorrelate with KL grade and WOMACscores. This retrospective study included50 cases with primary medial OArandomly selected from the R01 NIHstudy AR052873. As part of enrollmentin this study, patients had undergoneT1 weighted fat suppressed 3Dgradient echo 3T MRI scans (Siemens,Malvern, PA). There were 18 males and32 females, with a mean age of 60.8 ±10.6 and mean body mass index (BMI)of 26.8 ± 3.6. The study also included12 normal cases selected from a departmentfunded study at our center.As part of that study volunteers hadundergone T1 weighted non-fat suppressed3D gradient echo 7T MRIscans (Siemens, Malvern, PA). All normalcases were male with a mean ageof 29.1 ± 3.2 and a mean BMI of 24.9± 2.9. All MRI scans were reviewed byan experienced musculoskeletal radiologistand classified using the (KL)scale. The results above confirm that10KL grade is a valid metric for describingthe state of cartilage especially forthe volumes of the medial distal femur,medial posterior femur, and medialtibia when compared to their lateralcounterparts. However, comparing thevolume ratios to the WOMAC scoresindicated that self-assessment maynot indicate the status of the cartilageand extent of osteoarthritis. Therefore,although they are important to learnmore about the patients’ perceptionof pain, etc., self-assessment shouldcontinue to be considered secondaryto KL grade when determining the extentof a patient’s osteoarthritis 28 .Patterns of Cartilage Loss andMeniscal FunctionThe medial meniscus is known to transmitat least 50% of the load across thejoint surfaces. A meniscus which isdamaged or where the material propertieshave degenerated 29 would causean increase of cartilage stresses in thecentral regions of the condyles, leadingto cartilage wear. This has beensupported by the finding of meniscalsubluxation in cases of early osteoarthritis30 . From MRIs of symptomatic osteoarthritis(OA) patients of differentKellgren Lawrence (KL) grades, a recentstudy analyzed the cartilage thicknessmaps to determine whether cartilageloss was consistent with a dysfunctionalmeniscus. This study included 50 caseswith primary medial OA.In normal knees, the thickest cartilagewas in a central band of the distalfemoral condyle, and the central areaof the tibia. Cartilage wear progressedpredominantly in these areas. This isconsistent with a medial meniscuswhich is no longer carrying load, suchthat all the joint load becomes con-
