ial resection is performed with an oscillating saw. The tibia is sized and the alignment of the tibial resection is assessed with a drop rod to the second ray of the foot with the ankle in neutral exion. The tibial nish­ing template is secured to the proximal tibia with pins utilizing the middle of the tibial tubercle and tibial crest as anatomic landmarks for appropriate rotation. The tibial stem keel punch guide is then applied to the tibial nishing template and the keel is punched in the proximal tibia. Thereafter, the intramedullary canal of the tibia is opened with a stepped drill and the canal is reamed with uted reamers until there is appropri­ate chatter in the diaphysis. Typically, that is 14mm in diameter at a depth of 175mm. In most scenarios, this allows for a 12mm stem with a 2mm cement mantle. A 50–75mm stem extender is usually more than adequate in the primary setting.
> Of note, the reamer should be pulsed proximally
rather than being utilized in a continuous fashion to
prevent complete denudation of cancellous bone (and
thus inhibition of interdigitation of the bone cement
in the intramedullary canal).
It has become the preference of the senior author (MPA) to utilize a tibial cone (. Fig.35.9) when performing an RH TKA given the increased loads at the bone–cement interface. Preparation for the tibial cone is performed with a milling reamer over the intramedullary reamer and is typically sized large enough to accept the revision tibial component for the RH TKA.

35.3.3 Femoral Preparation
A pilot hole is drilled slightly anterior to the femo­ral insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament with a stepped drill. Thereafter, an intramedullary guide rod is introduced with a distal femoral cutting guide set to 6° of valgus (as that is what is mandated by most manufac­turers). The distal femoral cutting block is secured to the femur with pins and the distal femoral resection is per­formed with an oscillating saw. At a minimum, 10–12mm of distal femoral bone should be removed from the distal aspect of the medial femoral condyle. After completion of the distal femoral resection, spacer blocks specic to the RH construct are utilized to assess the mechanical alignment of the limb and ensure the knee comes out to full extension. If full extension is not possible, addi­tional distal femoral bone must be removed. The femur is then sized with femoral sizing templates and the cor­responding three-in-one cutting block is secured to the distal femur with pins. Rotation of the cutting block is set in line with the transepicondylar axis of the femur to make a rectangle with the in situ tibial trial, which should be cut perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal

axes of the tibia. If anything, additional external rota­tion is placed to assist with patellofemoral tracking. The anterior femoral, anterior chamfer, and posterior con­dylar resections are carefully performed with an oscil­lating saw after the soft tissues on the posterior aspect of the femur are taken directly off the bone to protect the neurovascular bundle from injury by the saw blade. Fluted reamers are then sequentially advanced into the femoral canal until there is appropriate chatter in the diaphysis. Typically, the diameter is 15mm for a 13mm stem with a 2mm cement mantle. Moreover, the length of the stem in the primary setting is usually 50–75mm. As with preparing the tibial canal, the femoral reamer should be utilized in a pulsatile fashion to avoid reaming away all of the cancellous bone.
Similar to the tibial side, it has become the preference
of the senior author (MPA) to utilize femoral cones (. Fig. 35.10) when performing an RH TKA given the increased loads at the bone–cement interface. Preparation for the femoral cone is performed with a milling reamer over the intramedullary reamer and is typically sized large enough to accept the revision femoral component for the RH TKA.
35.3.4 Patellar Preparation
The patella is everted with the knee in extension and sta­bilized with a pair of pointed towel clamps. Excessive osteophytes are removed with a rongeur and the patella is circumferentially denervated with electrocautery. The
thickness of the patella is measured with a caliper and the patella resection is performed free-hand with an oscillating saw to restore the patellar height. However, the patella is never resected below 12mm. The patellar thickness is reassessed in four quadrants to ensure an even resection. The patella is sized and anchor holes are preferentially drilled on the superomedial aspect of the patella. The trial patellar component is then placed and a partial lateral facetectomy is performed with a high­speed burr or rongeur.
35.3.5 Trialing
Trial femoral and tibial components are assembled on the back table and impacted onto the prepared bony surfaces. Knee stability (in the form of obtaining full extension without recurvatum) and patellar tracking are tested with trial spacer inserts of various thicknesses. Intraoperative radiographs (anteroposterior and lateral) are obtained to conrm appropriate sizing, positioning, and alignment of all the components. If patellar mal­tracking is encountered, the tourniquet is deated and patellar tracking is reassessed. If maltracking persists with the tourniquet deated, then a lateral release is per­formed with care taken to preserve the superior lateral geniculate artery. After sizing, positioning, alignment, stability, and patellar tracking are deemed satisfactory, the trial components are removed, the wound is copi­ously irrigated with sterile saline via pulsatile lavage, and the exposed bony surfaces are thoroughly dried.

35.3.6 Final Implant Placement
Final implants are opened and assembled according to manufacturer guidelines on the back table. Cement restrictors are placed in the tibia and femur at depths only a few millimeters past the end of the stems. This allows for excellent pressurization of the cement into the cancellous bone. Thereafter, the uncemented tibial and femoral cones are impacted.
> Cementation of the nal tibial and femoral compo-
nents are completed separately with the tibia per­formed rst.
Two batches of 40mg low-viscosity polymethylmethac­rylate bone cement are mixed by hand on the back table with a combination of 2 g of vancomycin and 2.4g of gentamicin powder. After achieving a doughy consis­tency, liberal amounts of cement are applied to the back of the nal tibial component baseplate and the exposed bony surfaces of the tibia with a cement gun. The nal tibial component is impacted into place through the uncemented cone, ensuring rotation is kept in line with the middle of the tibial tubercle and tibial crest. Excess cement is meticulously removed with a freer and the cement is allowed to completely cure. Attention is then turned to cementation of the nal femoral and patel­lar components. Cementation of the nal femoral com­ponent is performed in a similar fashion as previously described for the tibial component with care taken to ensure that rotation remains in line with the transepi­condylar axis of the femur. Finally, cement is applied to the patellar surface by hand and the nal patellar component is clamped into place until the cement has completely cured.
After all the cement has cured, the knee is then brought to approximately 45° of exion to facilitate nal assembly of the hinge. A tibial sleeve is rst inserted into the tibial baseplate and the nal polyethylene insert is secured into place. The rotating tibial platform is then placed into the polyethylene insert. The femoral bush­ings are inserted into the femoral component with care to ensure that the anges are inside the intercondylar cutout. The rotating tibial platform is then aligned with the femoral component bushings and the axle is slid through the assembly housing with care to ensure that the axle recess is aligned inferiorly. The bumper (typi­cally neutral) is then aligned with the axle recess and gently impacted into place.
The wound is copiously irrigated with a dilute beta­dine solution followed by sterile saline via pulse lavage. The tourniquet is deated and meticulous hemostasis is achieved with electrocautery. The wound is then closed in sequential layers and sterile dressings are applied.
35.4 Indications forRotating Hinges
inPrimary TKA
The utilization of RHs in complex primary TKA has been steadily increasing since the turn of the twenty­rst century. According to the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, the use of RHs in primary TKA experienced a fourfold increase between 2003 and 2010 (National Joint Registry for England and Wales 2010). Similarly, the use of these implants in primary TKA has nearly doubled from 2010 to 2018 according to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (Norwegian National Advisory Unit on Arthroplasty and Hip Fractures
2019).
Despite the increasing utilization of RHs in primary
TKA, specic non-oncologic indications for their use remain controversial in the literature. Some authors sug­gest imposing strict limitations on the use of these devices in primary TKA. Gehrke et al. (2014) recom­mend that the use of RHs in primary TKA be restricted to patients older than 75years who possess either of the following:
5 Collateral ligament insufciency 5 Bony destruction of the distal femur or proximal
tibia
5 Hyperlaxity 5 Fixed varus or valgus deformity greater than 20° 5 Severe rheumatoid arthritis
These selected indications were established by the authors after nding age- and deformity-related dis­crepancies in the mid-term revision-free survival rates of the Endo-Model® prosthesis (Waldemar Link; Ham­burg, Germany). In their study, the authors retrospec­tively reviewed the mid-term outcomes and survival of this specic type of RH in a cohort of 238 patients with a mean age of 67 years. The overall survivorship free of all-cause revision for the entire cohort was 90% at 13 years. However, after adjusting survival by age at implantation, the 13-year survivorship free of all-cause revision was 94% for patients older than 60years com­pared to only 77% for patients younger than 60years old. Similarly, after adjusting for preoperative defor­mity, the 13-year survivorship free of all-cause revision for patients with a preoperative varus deformity was 97% while survivorship was only 79% in patients with a preoperative valgus deformity.
> Based on these results, the authors concluded that
RHs can be safely and effectively utilized in primary TKA for selected indications. However, they empha­sized that the need for these devices in primary TKA is exceedingly rare with <2% of the primary TKAs performed at their institution in 1year.

There are other non-oncologic indications beyond the criteria suggested by Gehrke etal. (2014) where the use of RHs in the primary TKA may be warranted. Speci­cally, patients with neuropathic (Charcot) arthropathy or neuromuscular conditions. Patients with neuropathic arthropathy can develop rapid and progressive joint destruction, deformity, and instability resulting from loss of nociception attributable to various etiologies (. Fig.35.11) (Bae etal. 2009; Tibbo etal. 2018). Con­sequently, many surgeons recommend utilizing implants with increased levels of constraint when performing TKA in these patients, regardless of age. Tibbo et al. (2018) recently investigated implant utilization and con- temporary mid-term results of primary TKA in patients with neuropathic arthropathy attributed to multiple underlying conditions. Their study included 27 patients (37 knees) with a mean age of 60 years. Posterior sta­bilized implants were used in 19% of cases (7 knees), varus-valgus constrained (VVC) devices were used in 46% of cases (18 knees), and RHs were utilized in 35% of cases (13 knees). Supplemental xation with highly porous metaphyseal cones was used in 16% of the cases (5 knees). Kaplan–Meier estimated survivorship free of all-cause revision was 91% at 5years and 70% at 10years. However, estimated survivorship free of all-cause re­operation was much lower at 83% at 5years and 65% at 10years. The majority of revisions and re-operations in this cohort were related to postoperative wound issues and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Conversely, revi­sions due to aseptic loosening or mechanical failure of the implants were rare. In fact, the survivorship free of aseptic loosening was 100% at 5 years and 88% at 10years. The authors attributed these ndings to poor host characteristics and the selective use of highly porous metaphyseal cones in these patients.
Although the incidence of poliomyelitis has signi-
cantly decreased since the introduction of its vaccine, patients aficted by this condition develop varying degrees of generalized hypotonia (Tigani etal. 2009). Muscle weakness often leads to compensated gait pat­terns that result in characteristic deformities of the knee joint. Specically, patients with poliomyelitis often pres­ent with signicant knee exion contractures and recur­vatum deformities related to imbalances in quadriceps and hamstring function (Tigani et al. 2009). Consequently, the utilization of devices with increased constraint is similarly advocated when performing pri­mary TKA in patients with this condition. There are few studies in the literature reporting on the outcomes of primary TKA in patients with poliomyelitis. In a system­atic review of six retrospective case series, Prasad etal. (2018) explored implant utilization trends and mid-term outcomes of primary TKA in 82 patients with poliomy­elitis. The mean age of the patients was 63years. Thirty­six patients (44%) possessed preoperative recurvatum deformities ranging from 5° to 30°. Cruciate- retaining (CR) implants were used in 24% of patients, PS devices were used in 35% of patients, VVC implants were used in 14% of patients, and RHs were used in 27% of patients. At a mean follow-up of 6years, there were only 6 patients (7%) who required revision TKA. Indications for revi­sion included PJI (2 patients), instability (2 patients), periprosthetic fracture (1 patient), and aseptic loosening (1 patient). Ten (28%) of the 36 patients with a preopera­tive recurvatum deformity developed recurrent defor­mity after surgery. Although this complication was observed most commonly in patients who received CR devices (5 patients), deformity recurrence was also observed in 4 patients who received VVC devices and 1 patient who received an RH.Only 2 patients with post-

operative deformity recurrence required revision TKA and were successfully treated by increasing the level of implant constraint.
35.5 Clinical Outcomes
35.5.1 Short- andMid-Term Outcomes
The increased utilization of RHs in primary TKA has been supported in the literature by a number of studies demonstrating that the early outcomes of these devices are comparable to implants with lesser constraint. In a retrospective analysis of the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, Baker etal. (2014) found that the mid-term survival of RHs in primary TKA was similar to unconstrained implants irrespective of the indication for surgery. Their study included 964 patients with a mean age of 73years who underwent primary TKA with several types of RHs. Indications for surgery included osteoarthritis (71%), inammatory arthritis (10%), and post-traumatic arthritis (8%). The survivorship free of all-cause revision for the entire cohort at 5 years was 97% and was not dependent on the primary indication for surgery. Specically, the 5-year survivorship free of all-cause revision was 97% for patients with osteoarthri­tis, 96% for patients with inammatory arthritis, and 100% for patients with post-traumatic arthritis (p=not signicant). The authors noted that these survival rates were comparable to the 5-year survivorship free of all­cause revision of cemented, unconstrained primary TKAs reported in the same National Registry database (96%) and the Australian National Registry database (95%). Multiple studies have similarly demonstrated promising short- and mid-term survivorship of RHs in primary TKA for multiple indications (Zhang etal.
2014; Bistol etal. 2013; Bohler etal. 2017; Sanguineti
etal. 2014; Badawy etal. 2019; Efe etal. 2012; Neri etal.
2019; Kowalczewski etal. 2014).

types of RHs at a single tertiary referral center between 1979 to 2013. Indications included degenerative joint disease (19%), congenital or pediatric conditions (13%), post-traumatic arthritis (12%), inammatory arthritis (2%), and other (53%). Kaplan–Meier estimated survi­vorship free of all-cause revision was 75% at 10years but decreased to 40% at 20years. The estimated survi­vorship free of all-cause re-operation for this cohort was even lower at both 10years (49%) and 20years (17%).
In the same study, the authors subsequently com-
pared the survivorship of RHs to VVC (n= 427) and unconstrained (n = 27,994) devices in patients who underwent primary TKA for similar indications. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the esti­mated survivorship free of all-cause revision was not signicantly different between the RH and uncon­strained cohorts at 10 and 20 years (Hazard Ratio [HR]=1.5; p=0.05). However, the adjusted survivor­ship free of all-cause re-operation was signicantly lower in patients with RHs compared to the uncon­strained cohort at 10 and 20years (HR=2.07; p<0.001). The increased rate of re-operation in the RH cohort was primarily attributed to higher risk of infection (HR=4; p<0.001) and wound complications (HR=2; p<0.001).
> It is important to note that the mean age of patients
who received RHs in this study was signicantly lower than the studies demonstrating favorable short- and mid-term outcomes of these devices.
Further, congenital and pediatric conditions or “other” diagnoses were cited as the primary indication for RH in more than half of the patients in this study. These characteristics likely contributed to the considerably lower survivorship reported in this cohort at a longer follow-up.
> Nevertheless, these results suggest that the early com-
parable outcomes of RHs to devices with lesser con­straint may not persist with longer follow-up and caution should, therefore, be exercised when utilizing RHs in younger patient populations.
35.6 Complications
35.5.2 Long-Term Outcomes
Currently, there is a paucity of studies in the literature that have investigated the long-term outcomes of RHs in primary TKA.To our knowledge, Martin etal. (2016) has published the only study reporting on the long-term survival of these implants in primary arthroplasty set­ting. Their study included 246 patients with a mean age of 52years who underwent primary TKA with several
35.6.1 Early Perioperative Complications
Although the utilization of RHs in primary TKA is often reserved for complex pathology in patients who often have multiple co-morbid conditions, the early periop­erative complications do not appear different to patients undergoing TKA with implants of lesser constraint. Sodhi etal. (2018) recently used the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement

Program database to investigate the differences in the 30-day perioperative outcomes of over 151,000 TKAs performed in the United States between 2011 and 2015. In their study, the authors identied 99 patients with a mean age of 67years who underwent primary TKA with several types of RHs. Indications for RH were not specied beyond excluding patients who under­went conversion or revision TKA or who received an RH for malignancy. These patients were subsequently propensity score-matched to a group of patients who underwent primary TKA with unconstrained devices in a 1:3 ratio based on patient demographics and medical co-morbidities. Although the adjusted mean operative times in the RH cohort were signicantly higher than the unconstrained cohort (116 vs. 94min, p<0.001), no differences were observed in 30-day readmission rates (6% vs. 2%, p=0.1) or complication rates (13% vs. 12%, p=0.86) between groups.
35.6.2 Delayed Complications
The comparable early perioperative complications between patients undergoing primary TKA with RHs and unconstrained devices may not persist with longer follow-up. In a retrospective analysis of the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register, Badawy etal. (2019) found that the risk of revision of RHs at a mid-term follow-up was signicantly higher than implants with lesser con­straint. In their study, the authors identied 197 patients with a mean age of 67 years who underwent primary TKA with several types of RHs between 1994 and 2017. Indications for surgery included osteoarthritis (33%), inammatory arthritis (8%), post-fracture arthritis (14%), post-ligament injury (19%), post-infection (5%), instability (6%), neurologic sequelae (5%), and other (10%). The authors compared the mid-term risk of revi­sion of RHs to patients who underwent primary TKA with VVC (n = 204) and unconstrained (n = 71,515) implants for similar indications during the same time­frame. Kaplan–Meier estimated survivorship free of all-cause revision at 5years was 95% for unconstrained devices, 94% for VVC devices, and 86% for RHs. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, patients who underwent primary TKA with RHs demonstrated a signicantly higher risk of revision compared to the unconstrained cohort (HR=2.4; p < 0.001). Infection was the major complication necessitating revision TKA in all of the groups; however, this complication con­tributed to a higher percentage of revisions in the RH cohort (73%), compared to the VVC (4%) and uncon­strained (22%) cohorts. Interestingly, when revision for infection was excluded from the analysis, Kaplan–Meier estimated survivorship at 5years was 96% for all three groups.
> Infection has been persistently demonstrated to be
the most common complication requiring revision of contemporary RH devices in multiple studies (Bistol etal. 2013; Neri etal. 2019; Yang etal. 2012; Guenoun etal. 2009).
While the increased risk of infection associated with RHs is multifactorial, poor host characteristics, defor­mity complexity, and the increased operative time required to perform these procedures likely play pre­dominant roles. Managing PJI in patients with RHs can be particularly challenging. Successful removal of the long stems and robust cement mantles often seen with these devices can predispose patients to other complica­tions, particularly intraoperative fractures (Gehrke etal.
2014). Furthermore, the resultant bony defects and liga-
mentous instability that remain after explanation limit options for staged re-implantation. Consequently, Geh­rke etal. (2014) recommend the use of shorter stems and modular versions of hinged implants during the index procedure to help mitigate the future risk of complica­tions should revision TKA be required for any reason.
> It is our recommendation that shorter cemented stems
with metaphyseal cones be utilized for this reason.
The incidence of failure of RHs attributable to asep­tic loosening has signicantly decreased with modern designs, but it remains a relatively common mode of failure of these implants at mid-term follow-up. Neri etal. (2019) investigated the survival rate and complica­tion prole of several types of RHs in a cohort of 112 patients with a mean age of 68 years who underwent primary TKA at 14 centers between 2006 and 2011. Indications for surgery were severe deformity (55%), arthritis and arthropathy (35%), and ligamentous de­ciency/instability (10%). The overall complication rate in this cohort was 25% at a mean follow-up of 7years. While the most common complication observed in these patients was infection (11%), aseptic loosening occurred in 4% of patients at this mid-term follow-up. Other complications requiring revision cited in this study included stiffness (5%) and patellofemoral instability (4%). Multiple studies have demonstrated similar rates of aseptic loosening of contemporary RHs at mid-term follow-up (Baker etal. 2014; Bistol etal. 2013; Badawy etal. 2019).
The utilization of uncemented highly porous metaph-
yseal cones may be a successful technique to mitigate the risk of aseptic loosening in primary TKA with contem­porary RHs. Highly porous metaphyseal cones have been demonstrated in the literature to successfully reduce the risk of aseptic loosening in revision TKA by decreas­ing stress at the bone–cement interface (Meneghini etal.
2009; Kamath etal. 2015). The role of these augments in

primary TKA has been less studied. Cottino etal. (2017) recently reported on the mid-term outcomes of 392 patients (408 knees) who received several types of RHs at a single academic institution between 2002 and 2012 for various non-oncologic indications including complex primary (18%) and revision (82%) TKA (Cottino etal.
2017). Mean age of patients was 69years. Highly porous
metaphyseal cones (Trabecular Metal; Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) were utilized in 28% of the patients. Although the authors reported that the cumulative incidence of any revision in this cohort was 10% at 2 years and 23% at 10years, the cumulative incidence of revision for aseptic loosening was only 2% at 2 years and 5% at 10years. Kaplan–Meier survivorship analysis demonstrated a trend toward a lower risk of revision in the cohort of patients with highly porous metaphyseal cones, but this was not statistically signicant (HR=0.69; p=0.20).
> These results suggest that the utilization of highly
porous metaphyseal cone augments may reduce the risk of failure of contemporary RHs attributed to aseptic loosening at mid-term follow-up, but further studies investigating these augments in complex pri­mary TKA at longer follow-up are needed.

TKA may be further mitigated by the concomitant utilization of highly porous metaphyseal cones, but additional studies are needed.
Conclusion
z
There has been a wave of enthusiasm for the use of RHs in complex primary TKAs. While the specic non­oncologic indications for the use of these devices in pri­mary TKA remain controversial, many authors agree that RHs may be safely and effectively utilized in elderly patient populations with knee pathology that precludes the use of implants with lower levels of constraint. Specically, patients with gross knee instability, exces­sive femoral or tibial bone loss, severe coronal or sagit­tal deformity, or incompetent extensor mechanisms may benet from an RH TKA.The mid-term outcomes and survivorship of RHs in primary TKAs support their use in elderly patients as they appear comparable to implants with lesser constraint. However, the high failure rates of RHs demonstrated with longer follow-up warrants sur­geons to exercise caution when selecting these implants, especially in younger patient populations. Infection remains the most common complication requiring revi­sion in RHs and this risk appears to be multifactorial in nature. Consequently, it is imperative that patients with modiable risk factors for infection be effectively opti­mized prior to undergoing surgery. While the incidence of aseptic loosening has signicantly improved with modern implant designs, it remains a common mode of failure at mid-term follow-up. The concomitant utiliza­tion of highly porous metaphyseal cones with RHs may further decrease the risk of aseptic loosening in contem­porary RHs, but further studies are required.
