Abstract |
Background |
The new navigation system iASSIST™ for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) relies on accelerometers and gyroscopes. The objective of this prospective study was to compare the accuracy of iASSIST™ to that of the conventional optical navigation system Navitrack™ by determining the rate of mechanical axis restoration (±3°), postoperative mean mechanical alignment, rate of adequate femoral and tibial component positioning, mean operative time, and occurrence of navigation-related adverse events.
Hypothesis |
The rate of mechanical axis restoration (±3°) is not lower with iASSIST™ than with the conventional navigation system Navitrack™.
Material and methods |
Of 40 patients who underwent primary TKA between October 2013 and March 2014, 20 had navigation using iASSIST™ and 20 using Navitrack™. Six months after TKA, an independent observer measured three parameters on coronal radiographs: the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), and the mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA).
Results |
The two groups showed no significant differences for the rates of HKA restoration (P=0.3), adequate coronal positioning of the femoral component (P=0.12) and tibial component (P=0.12), or optimal success (P=0.09). Significant differences in favour of iASSIST™ were demonstrated for the values and angular deviations of the HKA (P=0.02) and mMPTA (P=0.01), whereas no significant difference was found for mLDFA. There were no significant differences regarding the mean operative time (P=0.06) or the occurrence of navigation-related adverse events (P=0.18).
Discussion |
The iASSIST™ system provides a neutral mechanical axis and optimal component position in the coronal plane in 95% of cases, indicating that it is as accurate as the optical navigation system Navitrack™.
Level of evidence |
III, prospective case-control study.
