Arthroplasty
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Asymmetric tibial components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were evaluated against symmetric components to assess bony coverage in cases with simulated bone defects using CT scans from 45 patients.
- The study examined three models (PCCK, NexGen LCCK, and ATTUNE) with varying thickness augmentations to simulate defects of 5, 10, and 15 mm, measuring coverage, overhang, and underhang rates.
- Results indicated that asymmetric components (PCCK) provided better overall coverage and reduced both anterior overhang and posterior underhang compared to symmetric components, potentially leading to improved long-term outcomes for patients.
