Effect of Pressure Sensing Navigation in Soft Tissue Balance During Total Knee Arthroplasty
Objective To investigate the impact of pressure sensor navigation on soft tissue balance in primary total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods A total of 63 patients undergoing primary TKA at the Second Department of Orthopedics,the First People's Hospital of Nanyang from September 2021 to December 2022 were randomly selected and divided into treatment group(33 cases)and control group(30 cases)according to the treatment method.The treatment group received pressure sensing navigation technology during surgery,and on the basis of correct intraoperative osteotomy,the soft tissue tension around the knee joint was accurately balanced.The control group received traditional joint balance methods during surgery to obtain neutral force lines and soft tissue balance.The surgical time,perioperative bleeding volume,pain visual analogue scale(VAS),affected knee joint range of motion(ROM),knee joint function score from the US Hospital of Special Surgery(HSS),and incidence of complications between two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in surgical time between the treatment group and the control group(P>0.05),and the perioperative bleeding in the treatment group was less than that in the control group(P<0.05).After 6 months of surgery,the ROM and HSS scores of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group,while the postoperative VAS scores were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The proportion of excellent postoperative recovery in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically difference in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of pressure sensing navigation technology in soft tissue balance during initial artificial knee replacement surgery can accurately establish the stability of the knee joint,better restore knee joint function and range of motion,and improve patient satisfaction.
