An electrocautery cord is extended from a point two n­ger widths medial to the anterior superior iliac spine to the middle of the tibial plafond to assess alignment ver­sus the mechanical axis (. Fig.30.3e).
Flexion Gap Preparation
z
Gap balancing is performed with the knee at 90° exion.
The transepicondylar (TEA) and anteroposterior
(AP) axes are marked, and laminar spreaders are used to equally tension the collateral ligaments (. Fig.30.4a).
> Care is taken to avoid over-tensioning the medial lam-
inar spreader as this results in femoral component internal rotation as well as excessive medial collateral ligament tension and subsequent loss of knee exion using the technique described.
If the tibial resection and outlined axes are accurately executed, and the primary exion gap stabilizing struc­tures are intact (supercial MCL medially; lateral col­lateral ligament and popliteus laterally), the TEA should typically parallel the tibial osteotomy and be perpen­dicular to the AP axis.
> To match the exion gap to our previously dened
extension gap, the extension gap block is placed on the anterior aspect of the proximal tibia, and the AP distal femoral cutting guide is positioned on top of the block (.

(. nents are sized at this time. As part of an extension gap rst balancing technique, a spacer block is inserted to assess the stability of the extension gap (. Fig.30.4e). We accept 1–2mm of balanced coronal plane laxity at this stage.
> If coronal imbalance is present, appropriate soft tis-
sue releasing procedures are executed to ensure ade­quate extension gap balance.
This ensures the posterior femoral condylar bone resec­tions are made at a level that matches the tensioned ex­ion gap to the previously established extension gap (. Fig. 30.4c). The block is pinned in place, lamina spreaders are removed, and the spacer block is left in place at which time we assess the medial and lateral sta­bility of our exion gap to ensure it is stable and sym­metrically balanced before posterior condylar resections are performed (. Fig.30.4d).
After completing all femoral cuts, trial components are implanted and examined. Patellar thickness is mea­sured with a caliper, and an osteotomy is made taking care to maintain uniform facet thickness. The patella is sized and trialed to ensure central patellar tracking. If necessary, a lateral release is performed but in our expe­rience, this is relatively uncommon with a rotating plat­form (RP) design (Yang etal. 2008).

At this time, the limb is exsanguinated, and a pneumatic tourniquet is inated to begin preparing bony surfaces for cementation.
Cementation and Component Implantation
z
The sclerotic bone surfaces are penetrated multiple times with a 1.5mm drill bit to improve cement penetration. All bone surfaces are then washed with pulsatile lavage and dried with a lap sponge (. Fig.30.5a).
> Pulsatile lavage is crucial to remove intra-osseous
lipid and debris which enhances cement penetration and cannot be compensated for with cement pressur­ization alone without pre-washing (Schlegel et al.
2014; Maistrelli etal. 1995).
We utilize a tibial component with under-surface cement pockets (. Fig. 30.5b) to improve peripheral cement penetration by reducing cement escape (Vertullo and Davey 2001).
Currently, we use a low-viscosity cement to improve implant adherence and prevent lipid penetration into the cement mantle, recognizing that conicting data exist regarding appropriate cement viscocity (Silverman etal.
2014; Buller etal. 2020). The tibial and femoral compo-
nents (. Fig. 30.5c) are precoated with cement. Precoating ensures a clean, dry interface between the component and cement which has been shown to improve xation strength (Billi etal. 2019). The bone surface is similarly coated with cement knowing that precoating the tibial component alone has been shown to be insufcient for proper cement penetration (Vanlommel etal. 2011).

The peripheral tibia is pressurized with the cement gun (. Fig. 30.5e) which has been shown to yield superior penetration to other techniques, such as manual pres­surization (Lutz etal. 2009; Ritter etal. 1994).
The tibial component is now inserted with equal manual pressure followed by impaction. Extruded cement is cut at the component edge with a freer eleva­tor and removed in large fragments (. Fig.30.6a), ide­ally only once.

> We avoid multiple passes with the freer and avoid
scraping cement with curettes, which generates more particulate debris that could contribute to later third body wear.
We now re-dry the femoral bone surface before implant­ing the precoated femoral component.
> Given that the mobile-bearing surface of the tibial
component is exposed at this stage, great care is taken to protect it during femoral component implantation (.
Fig.30.6b).
Following impaction of the femoral component and removal of the excess cement, a trial polyethylene is inserted, and the knee is brought into extension. The patella is then washed, dried and its component is cemented into place. The knee is kept in full extension until the cement is fully cured. Previous lab data has shown that component motion and nal polyethylene bearing insertion during cement curation can signi­cantly reduce xation strength (Mason 2018).
Closure and Rehabilitation
z
After the cement has cured, the knee is brought into exion, and stability is assessed a nal time before the nal polyethylene insert is selected and inserted. The joint is irrigated, and then thoroughly examined to ensure all particulate debris has been evacuated. The wound is then closed in a layered fashion. Rehabilitation is initiated on the day of operation with hospital dis­charge typically within 24h of admission. A supervised outpatient physical therapy program is continued for 4–6 weeks postoperatively. Postoperative radiographs are obtained at 6weeks and every 2–3years thereafter (. Fig.30.7).
30.3 Kinematics oftheNative Knee
andTotal Knee Arthroplasty
Native knee kinematics are driven by the geometry of the femur–tibia articulation and the soft tissue con­straints provided by the surrounding ligaments, joint capsule, andmyotendinous structures. Kinematic analy­ses have proven that knee motion is certainly more com­plex than a simple hinge. The medial femoral condyle is stabilized by the relatively immobile medial meniscus and medial ligamentous structures. Subsequently, the medial femoral condyle experiences less sagittal ante­rior–posterior (AP) motion compared to the lateral fem­oral condyle which is stabilized by a relatively mobile
lateral meniscus and dynamic tendinous structures. With exion, the lateral femoral condyle translates pos­teriorly on the tibia (“posterior femoral rollback”), and pivots around the relatively immobile medial femoral condyle (“screw-home mechanism”). This internally rotates the tibia relative to the femur with knee exion and externally rotates the tibia during knee extension. In vivo uoroscopic analyses of native human knees under­going deep knee bend maneuver (DKB; 0° to 120°) have shown 14.1–21.07 mm of posterior translation of the lateral condyle, in contrast to 1.5–1.94mm of posterior

translation medially (
.
Komistek etal. 2003). During this same range of motion, the tibia internally rotates 16.8–23.67° (Mahfouz etal.
2004; Komistek etal. 2003).
> Native knee kinematics are difcult to reproduce after
TKA and multiple kinematic variances from normal
knee kinematics have been observed such as paradox-
ical anterior femoral translation, reverse axial rota-
tion, decreased posterior femoral rollback, and
femoral condylar liftoff (Dennis etal. 1998a, 2003a).
Posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA components rely on cam– post engagement during knee exion to reproduce pos­terior femoral translation on the tibia and typically provide a greater amount of rollback when compared to cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA designs in deep knee ex­ion (Dennis etal. 2003a). Posterior femoral translation is desirable because it minimizes impingement between the posterior femur and tibia and improves knee exion (Dennis etal. 1998b). Paradoxical anterior translation of the femur has been reported with less constrained designs, such as the CR TKA, and increases shear forces across the polyethylene surface, accelerates polyethylene wear, and weakens the moment arm of the quadriceps tendon (Banks et al. 2003; Stiehl et al. 1999; Dennis et al. 2003b; Greenwald and Heim 2005; Blunn et al.
1991). Reverse axial rotation lateralizes the tibial tuber-
cle, and increases the Q-angle in deep exion, which leads to patellar maltracking, risk of patella sublux­ation, and decreased knee exion as posterior femoral rollback is reduced (Dennis etal. 2004).
TKA component design has evolved to mitigate these undesirable kinematic patterns. Congruity of the articulation between the femur and polyethylene as well as the amount of constraint provided by components have been utilized to balance the forces transmitted through the TKA components and implant–host xa­tion interfaces against the forces experienced by the sur­rounding soft tissue stabilizers. While implant constraint and congruity afford greater stability to the TKA articu­lation, they also transfer forces previously shared by the

ofoad forces seen at the bone–implant interface, but these round-on-at or at-on-at articulation designs have lower contact areas which increase polyethylene contact pressure and accelerate wear leading to prema­ture TKA failure (Stiehl etal. 1999; Sharkey etal. 2002; Lonner etal. 1999).

by increasing congruity in the coronal and sagittal planes can reduce contact pressures and polyethylene wear. A contact area of 300–350 mm2 dramatically reduces contact stresses (Greenwald and Heim 2005).
Contact area may exceed 800mm2 with mobile- bearing designs, compared to xed-bearing designs which fail to exceed 300mm2(. Fig.30.9) (Greenwald and Heim 2005).

. Fig. 30.10 Internal rotation of the tibial tray with a xed-bear-
ing design will lateralize the tibial tubercle, increasing Q-angle and risk lateral subluxation and maltracking of the patella (Yang etal. (2008), with permission from Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.)
Larger amounts of axial rotation have been observed between the femur and tibia with mobile- bearing designs. A uoroscopic study of patients performing a DKB after TKA showed that mean axial rotation was
4.1° for a xed-bearing prosthesis and 7.3° for patients with a mobile-bearing prosthesis (Ranawat etal. 2004). Numerous studies have shown that the majority of this rotation with mobile-bearing designs occurs between the polyethylene under-surface and the highly polished tibial tray as the polyethylene “follows” the femur (Den­nis etal. 2004, 2005; D’Lima etal. 2001; Komistek etal.
2004). Axial rotation of the bearing maintains congru-
ity and contact area between the femur and polyethyl­ene that would be reduced in xed-bearing TKA (FB TKA) designs that experience axial rotation during knee exion. A kinematic analysis has demonstrated this bearing mobility also helps maintain central cam– post-contact in PS designs. In xed-bearing PS designs, if axial rotation occurs, eccentric cam–post- contact occurs, increasing post polyethylene stresses and risk of premature post wear (Zingde etal. 2014).
> Bearing design also affects patellar kinematics.
In FBTKA, tibial tray rotation relative to the tibial tubercle will alter the Q-angle and patellar tracking. If the tray is internally rotated, the tubercle is lateralized, which disrupts patellar tracking and risks lateral sublux­ation (. Fig. 30.10) (Yang etal. 2008). Regardless of tibial tray rotation, MB TKAs allow the tubercle to self­correct to the appropriate rotation when dynamically loaded.
30.4 Fears Associated withMobile-
BearingTKA
Polyethylene wear debris leads to macrophage-activated osteoclastogenesis, osteolysis, and early TKA failure (Holt etal. 2007). Contact stress and shear forces at the femorotibial articulation generate wear debris.
“Backside wear” on the inferior surface of polyeth­ylene bearing has been shown to generate 2–100 times more debris (Rao etal. 2002). Backside wear has been attributed to poor locking mechanisms in modular xed-bearing components allowing micromotion between the polyethylene and metal tibial tray. Retrieval analysis of 12 different xed-bearing designs by Rao etal. found that insert motion ranged from 104 to 760μm which demonstrated a positive correlation with backside polyethylene wear (Rao et al. 2002). Mobile- bearing designs add a large second articulat­ing surface to the polyethylene, raising concerns of a greater risk of backside polyethylene wear (Bartel
1986; Greenwald and Heim 2005; Dennis and
et al. Komistek 2006; Lu et al. 2010; Kelly et al. 2011; Minoda etal. 2004).
A retrieval analysis of 23 LCS mobile-bearing inserts conrmed that backside pitting, scratching, and bur­nishing were signicantly greater than that observed on the 31 xed-bearing inserts retrieved (Engh etal. 2009). The authors attributed pitting and scratching to third body debris, but the scratching was specic to implant design given it was concentric and aligned with rota­tional movement of the polyethylene. Interestingly, lin­ear wear rates were similar for xed-bearing and mobile-bearing designs.
In a separate retrieval analysis by Berry etal., xed­bearing inserts from rough titanium and polished cobalt–chrome (CoCr) tibial trays were compared against mobile bearings with polished CoCr trays, and total through-thickness wear of inserts was measured (Berry et al. 2012). Mobile-bearing inserts had lower wear rates than xed-bearing inserts and mobile-bearing wear rates were irrespective of implanted duration while xed-bearing rates increased with time. The xed­bearing liners from rough titanium baseplates had sig­nicantly greater wear rates than liners from polished trays. Because mobile-bearing inserts articulate on highly polished CoCr baseplates, data from this study helps explain the bearing surface’s contribution to reduced wear rates. Knee simulator studies presented by McEwen et al. compared mobile-bearing and xed­bearing designs and found a three- to four-fold reduc­tion in wear per millions of cycles with mobile-bearing designs (McEwen et al. 2001, 2005). More recently, Delport et al. presented comparative TKA simulator data that also showed four-fold reductions in wear rates with mobile-bearing designs (Delport et al. 2010).

Atwood etal. reported on 100 retrieved LCS mobile­bearing components after >2years and calculated volu­metric wear rates at 54mm3/year (Atwood etal. 2008). Wear rates decreased with time and the damaged appear­ance did not correlate with actual wear (loss of mate­rial). This volumetric wear rate is lower than the 120mm3/year rates reported with xed-bearing designs (Atwood etal. 2008).
> Despite the theoretical concerns presented, backside
polyethylene wear has not emerged as a clinically rel­evant concern with MB TKA designs.
Osteolysis has also been proposed as a risk associated with the use of mobile-bearing technology. Studies have again cited increased polyethylene wear rates with mobile-bearing designs contributing to the greater risk of osteolysis (Greenwald and Heim 2005; Kim et al.
2010). Polyethylene wear particle size and biologic reac-
tivity present different risks of developing osteolytic pathology (Utzschneider etal. 2009; Fisher etal. 2004). Minoda etal. aspirated uid from both mobile-bearing and FB TKAs and found no difference in polyethylene wear particle size (Minoda etal. 2004). In a follow-up report, the same authors followed patients who under­went bilateral TKAs using both mobile-bearing and xed-bearing designs and aspirated their knees 3.5years after surgery (Minoda etal. 2017). They found no differ­ence in polyethylene wear particle size, shape, or num­ber. Knee simulator data has supported these invivo studies and shown no difference in wear debris charac­terization (Fisher et al. 2004, 2006). Clinical outcome studies have found no difference in the rates of osteoly­sis with xed- or mobile-bearing designs. Kim etal. pub­lished 10-year outcomes on 444 patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA using mobile-bearing and xed-bearing in the same patient and found no differ­ence in radiographic rates of osteolysis (Kim etal. 2014).
> With the advent of highly cross-linked polyethylene
and improved sterilization techniques, the rates of polyethylene wear and osteolysis continue to decline with both FB and MB TKA designs.
A concern unique to mobile-bearing design is the risk of the polyethylene bearing dislocation or “spin- out.” This has typically been reported in deep knee exion where the bearing rotates 90° around its central axis, with the posterolateral lip of the polyethylene slipping posterior behind the lateral femoral condyle (. Fig.30.11). This is typically caused by a mismatch between the exion and extension gaps and is usually reduced in a closed fashion although revision may be required in cases of substantial gap inequality. Use of gap balancing tech-
niques with attention to ligament- balancing has greatly reduced the incidence of spin-out (Ulivi et al. 2015). Diamond etal. highlighted the association between lig­ament-balancing and mobile-bearing spin-out in their review of 8373 consecutive primary MBTKAs (Dia­mond et al. 2018). The incidence of spin- out was low (0.58%) but after adopting a gap balancing technique, the incidence was reduced to 0.2% (p<0.01). Chiavetta etal. reported a series of 426 MBTKAs using a gap bal­ancing technique where there were no reported cases of bearing spin-out (Chiavetta etal. 2006). Consistent with these results, the senior author has yet to experience a bearing dislocation following a primary TKA using a gap balancing method in a 20-year experience with MBTKA.
30.5 Benets ofaMobile-Bearing Design
> MB TKA balances implant conformity, constraint,
and contact area without signicantly increasing
stresses seen at the polyethylene bearing or bone–
implant xation interface.
Bearing mobility allows increased implant conformity and constraint in both the sagittal and coronal planes without dramatically increasing xation stresses (Jones etal. 1999). By increasing sagittal plane conformity in MBTKA, in vivo uoroscopic analyses have demon­strated improved control of anteroposterior translation with reduced paradoxical anterior femoral translation, particularly when tested during gait (Dennis et al.
2003a). The increased coronal plane conformity typi-
cally present in MBTKAs increases the contact area and lessens the increased contact stresses which are present if femoral condylar liftoff occurs (Dennis and Komistek
2006).Compared to xed-bearing designs, mobile-
bearing designs maintain greater contact area through­out knee exion as the bearing rotates on the tibial tray and follows the femur, maintaining ideal congruency in both the sagittal and coronal planes in addition to opti­mizing cam–post mechanics (. Fig.30.11).
Puloski etal. performed a retrieval analysis of FB PS TKA polyethylene bearings showing that 40% of the post-surface area was worn or deformed at the time of retrieval, drawing attention to this as a potential source of polyethylene wear and implant failure (Puloski etal.
2001). Nakayama et al. measured cam–post-contact
area and stress in four different TKA designs and found cam–post-contact stress increased signicantly with internal rotation of the tibial tray because contact area decreased and the posterolateral edge of the post impinged on the medial edge of the lateral femoral con­dyle (.
