Abstrakt: Background: The most common modes of failure of cemented unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) designs are aseptic loosening and unexplained pain at short- to mid-term follow-up, which is likely linked to early fixation failure. Determining these modes of failure remains challenging; conventional radiographs are limited for use in assessing radiolucent lines, with only fair sensitivity and specificity for aseptic loosening.
Questions/purposes: We sought to characterize the bone-component interface of patients with symptomatic cemented medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to determine the relationship between MRI and conventional radiographic findings.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 55 consecutive patients with symptomatic cemented UKA. All underwent MRI with addition of multiacquisition variable-resonance image combination (MAVRIC) at an average of 17.8 ± 13.9 months after surgery. MRI studies were reviewed by two independent musculoskeletal radiologists. MRI findings at the bone-cement interface were quantified, including bone marrow edema, fibrous membrane, osteolysis, and loosening. Radiographs were reviewed for existence of radiolucent lines. Inter-rater agreement was determined using Cohen's κ statistic.
Results: The vast majority of symptomatic UKA patients demonstrated bone marrow edema pattern (71% and 75%, respectively) and fibrous membrane (69% and 89%, respectively) at the femoral and tibial interface. Excellent and substantial inter-rater agreement was found for the femoral and tibial interface, respectively. Furthermore, MRI findings and radiolucent lines observed on conventional radiographs were poorly correlated.
Conclusion: MRI with the addition of MAVRIC sequences could be a complementary tool for assessing symptomatic UKA and for quantifying appearances at the bone-component interface. This technique showed good reproducibility of analysis of the bone-component interface after cemented UKA. Future studies are necessary to define the bone-component interface of symptomatic and asymptomatic UKA patients.
