Abstract

Objective The aim of this radiological study was to compare several relevant modified and newly applied patella height indices (PHI) in navigated primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to determine intra- and interobserver reliability in order to give a recommendation for clinical application in measuring patella height (PH) in primary TKA. Materials and methods A retrospective data analysis assessing different PHI (modified Insall-Salvati index (mISI), Caton-Deschamps index (mCDI), Blackburne-Peel index (mBPI), Plateau-Patella Angle (mPPA);Miura-Kawaramura index (MKI), Knee-Triangular index (KTI)) on lateral knee radiographs was performed by two blinded observers using the same software three months pre- and postoperatively. Concordance correlation coefficient and Pearson's correlation respectively were determined for intra- and interobserver rating as well as a categorization according to Landis and Koch and Cohen. Results A total of 337/291 patients of a 5-year period could be analyzed pre-/postoperatively. Excellent postoperative interrater results according to the categorization of Landis and Koch were achieved for the mBPI (Pearson 0.98) > mPPA (0.90) > KTI (0.86), good results for the MKI (0.79) and the mCDI (0.69), and moderate results for the mISI (0.52) with a predominantly strong Cohen correlation in almost all cases. Preoperatively, the mBPI and the KTI were the best interrated PHI. No PH changes could be found postoperatively for the mISI, KTI, MKI, and mPPA. Conclusion The mBPI, the mPPA, and the KTI can be recommended for PH assessment in TKA. The mPPA might be the easiest one to use in a daily clinical set-up.
