Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted with the aim to compare the effect of posterior condyle offset (PCO) changes on knee joint function of patients following total knee replacement (TKR). METHODS: Electronic and manual searches were performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to September 2019. Network meta-analysis combined direct and indirect evidence to assess the weighted mean difference (WMD) and surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRA) of different PCO changes (PCO ≤ - 2 mm, - 2 mm < PCO < 0 mm, 0 mm ≤ PCO < 2 mm and PCO ≥ 2 mm) on knee joint function after TKR. Then 103 OA patients undergoing unilateral TKR were included and the effect of PCO on the postoperative knee function was examined. RESULTS: Totally, 5 cohort studies meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that patients with 0 mm ≤ PCO < 2 mm after TKR had a better recovery of joint function (flexion contracture: 28.67%; KS functional score: 78.67%; KS knee score: 75.00%) than the remaining three groups. However, the knee flexion (77.00%) of patients with PCO ≤ - 2 mm after TKR was superior to the other three groups. Retrospective study also revealed a significant correlation between PCO changes and the flexion contracture, further flexion and KS functional score of patients after TKR, in which each functional knee score of patients with 0 mm ≤ PCO < 2 mm was better than the others. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest a close correlation between PCO magnitude and knee joint function after TKR and that 0 mm ≤ PCO < 2 mm is superior to other changes for joint function after TKR.
