Clinical TrialBicompartmental individualized knee replacement : Use of patient-specific implants and instruments (iDuo™).
Bicompartmental knee replacement in patients with combined osteoarthritis (OA) of the medial or lateral and patellofemoral compartment. Patient-specific instruments and implants (ConforMIS iDuo™) with a planning protocol for optimal implant fit. ⋯ In all, 44 patients with bicompartmental OA of the medial and patellofemoral compartment were treated. Mean age 59 years. Minimum follow-up 12 months. Implant converted to TKA due to tibial loosening (1 patient); patella resurfacing (3 patients). No further revisions or complications. Radiographic analyses demonstrated ideal fit of the implant with less than 2 mm subsidence or overhang. KSS pain scores improved from preoperatively 5.7 to 1.7 postoperatively with level walking, and from 7.3 preoperatively to 2.8 postoperatively with climbing stairs or inclines. The WOMAC score improved from preoperatively 43 to 79 postoperatively.
