Abstract EN

This retrospective study was to determine if patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) leads to shortened surgical time through increased operating room efficiency according to different tibial PSI designs.

166 patients underwent primary TKA and were categorized into three groups as follows: PSI without extramedullary (EM) tibial guide (group 1, n=48), PSI with EM tibial guide (group 2, n=68), and conventional instrumentation (CI) group (group 3, n=50).

Four factors were compared between groups, namely, operative room time, thickness of bone resection, tibial slope, and rotation of the component.

The mean surgical time was significantly shorter in the PSI with EM tibial guide group (group 2, 63.9±13.6 min) compared to the CI group (group 3, 82.8±24.9 min) (P<0.001).

However, there was no significant difference in the PSI without EM tibial guide group (group 1, 75.3±18.8 min).

This study suggests that PSI incorporating an EM tibial guide may lead to high operative efficiency in TKA compared to CI.

This trial is registered with KCT0002384.
