BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening following total knee arthroplasty remains one of the leading causes of long-term failure. Radiographic identification of loose implants can be challenging with standard views. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of novel radiographic findings of anterior heterotopic bone formation and medial or lateral cyst formation in patients who have aseptic loosening to patients who have well-fixed implants.
METHODS: A retrospective radiographic review was performed on 48 patients' revised secondary to aseptic tibial loosening. This cohort was compared to two additional cohorts; 48 patients returning for routine postoperative follow-up (control 1), and 48 patients revised secondary to infection or instability who had well-fixed implants (control 2).
RESULTS: There were 41 of 48 (85%) patients who had implant loosening and were noted to have anterior heterotopic bone formation compared to 1 of 48 (2%) patients in control 1 and 3 of 48 (6%) patients in control 2 (P ≤ .0001). There were 43 of 48 (90%) patients who had implant loosening and had medial cyst formation compared to 3 of 48 (6%) patients in control 1 and 5 of 48 (10%) in control 2 (P ≤ .0001). There were 42 of 48 (88%) patients who had implant loosening and had lateral cyst formation compared to 2 of 48 (4%) patients in control 1 and 4 of 48 (8%) in control 2 (P ≤ .0001).
CONCLUSION: In this study, we describe novel radiographic findings of anterior heterotopic bone formation and cysts that develop in patients who have aseptic loosening following primary total knee arthroplasty. We believe that these radiographic features may lead to easier identification of aseptic loosening.
