BACKGROUND: Lateral tibial bowing leads to varus placement of the tibial component during total knee replacement in varus knees. Lateralised tibial jig placement can improve the accuracy of the tibial cut.
METHODS: A total of 227 patients (300 knees) undergoing total knee replacements were randomised into two groups. In the study group, the point of intersection of the distal tibial diaphyseal line at the tibial plateau drawn on long films was represented by zones. Knees with femoral bowing >5° (28%) were excluded. Tibial jig placement on the proximal tibia was lateralised according to the zones. In the control group, the mid-point of the tibial plateau was taken as a reference. Femoral and tibial bowing, postoperative limb alignment and component placement were assessed.
RESULTS: Of the 216 knees that were studied, 106 were in the study group and 110 in the control group. Bowing ≥3° had a significant positive correlation with lateralisation of the proximal tibial reference (p < 0.001). The Incidence of tibial bowing ≥3° was 57.33%. The mean postoperative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle was 178.31 ± 2.88° and 176.53 ± 2.88° (p < 0.001), whereas the mean medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) was 89.91 ± 1.42° and 88.79 ± 1.72° (p < 0.001) in the study and control groups, respectively. Considering bowed tibiae alone, HKA angle and MPTA in the study group were 178.08 ± 2.81° and 89.72 ± 1.39° compared with 175.88 ± 2.87° and 88.38 ± 1.38° in the control group (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: There is a high incidence of tibial bowing in varus knees. Lateralised tibial jig placement improved tibial component placement and postoperative limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty in varus knees with tibial bowing.
