Purpose: Anterior femoral notching (AFN) may be associated with a higher risk for supracondylar periprosthetic fracture (sPPF) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), although studies have yielded inconclusive results. We aimed to systematically investigate and meta-analyze the best available evidence regarding the association between AFN and the risk of sPPF after TKA.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Mendeley, Google Scholar and Cochrane databases was performed, from conception to February 29, 2020. Data were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). I-index was employed for heterogeneity. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was implemented for quality assessment of the included studies.
Results: Nine studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria, including a total of 3264 patients subjected to TKA. Among them, there were 150 patients who sustained a sPPF. Overall, patients exposed to AFN (AFN group) demonstrated an increased risk for sPPF compared to those not exposed (control group) (OR 3.91, 95% CI 1.22-12.58, p = 0.02; I 68.52%). Subgroup analysis based on AFN depth with a cut-off value of 3 mm further clarified this association. Patients with AFN ≥ 3mm were at higher risk for sPPF compared to patients with AFN < 3 mm and control group (OR 4.85, 95% CI 2.08-11.33, p = 0.00; I 0.0%). On the contrary, fracture risk was not significant for patients with AFN < 3 mm compared to the control group (OR 5.0, 95% CI 0.44-56.82, p = 0.19; I 42.99%).
Conclusion: Patients, exposed to AFN ≥ 3 mm in depth, are at higher risk for sustaining a sPPF.
