INTRODUCTION: Only a few reports have described calcaneal insufficiency fractures (IFs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Herein, we describe nine cases of calcaneal IFs following ipsilateral TKA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of calcaneal fractures following TKA and determine the characteristics of patients with IFs.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively investigated cases of calcaneal IF that occurred following TKA. We collected and analyzed radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as well as patient demographic data. We compared the demographic data, bone mineral density (BMD), and preoperative hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) between cases with a calcaneal fracture following TKA and 100 cases without a fracture following TKA.
RESULTS: We performed a total of 1548 knee arthroplasties at our clinic from 2011 to 2020. Nine calcaneal IFs in eight patients were diagnosed following ipsilateral TKA. All patients were women with varus knee osteoarthritis (mean age, 71.8 years). The average change in the alignment angle was 14.7° ± 5.4°. In eight cases, dysfunction was observed in the opposite lower limb. The postoperative onset of hindfoot pain started at an average of 5.6 months. In seven patients, calcaneal fractures occurred idiopathically, but in one patient, two fractures occurred after long-distance walking. No abnormal findings on a calcaneus radiograph were seen for six fractures. MRI demonstrated a definite fracture line and bone marrow edema in all patients. All patients, except one with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), had osteoporosis. Fractures healed without complications in eight patients; however, the calcaneal anterior facet fracture became displaced and caused a flat foot in one case. The calcaneal IF rate was 0.58% among all cases. Besides one case with T2DM, significant differences were observed in preoperative HKA and BMD between cases with a calcaneal fracture following TKA and those without a fracture.
CONCLUSIONS: A change in the load on the calcaneus due to changes in the alignment of the lower extremities after TKA may cause calcaneal IFs. Orthopedic surgeons should be aware of the possible occurrence of calcaneal IFs following TKA, especially in women with osteoporosis and severe varus knee.
