摘要

Purpose

To analyze the correlation and degree of agreement between the patellar heights measured at knee flexion of 0° and 30° before and after total knee arthroplasties (TKA) without patellar resurfacing.

Methods

One hundred primary TKAs with nonresurfaced patella were prospectively evaluated. We measured the Insall–Salvati ratio (ISR), modified ISR (mISR), Blackburne-Peel ratio (BPR), and Caton-Deschamps ratio (CDR) in weightbearing true lateral radiograph at knee flexion of 0° and 30°. The correlations between the patellar height measured at knee flexion of 0° and 30° were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. The degree of agreement between the patellar heights in knee flexion angles of 0° and 30° was analyzed using the limits of agreement (LoA) of Bland–Altman analysis; a difference of <  ± 0.2 between the measurements at knee flexion of 0° and 30° was deemed clinically acceptable.

Results

Very strong correlations existed between the pre- and postoperative ISR (r = 0.826 and 0.823, p < 0.001, respectively), and the preoperative mISR (r = 0.802, p < 0.001) measured between knee flexion angles of 0° and 30°. Strong correlation was observed in the other pre- and postoperative measurements. The range between upper and lower LoAs of the ISR measured at knee flexion of 0° and 30° was <  ± 0.20 preoperatively (−0.174 ~ 0.155) and postoperatively (−0.181 ~ 0.174), while the ranges for all other measurements did not lie within the clinically acceptable range.

Conclusions

The ISR measured at 0° or 30° of knee flexion during weightbearing can be interchanged reasonably before and after TKA. Although knee flexion of 30° is the standard, lateral radiograph of 0° flexion can be a reasonable alternative for evaluating patellar height using the ISR.

Level of Evidence: Level II.
