Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Der vordere Knieschmerz ist eine der häufigsten Komplikationen nach endoprothetischer Versorgung des Kniegelenks. Seine Häufigkeit wird in der Literatur mit bis zu 30 % angegeben.
Ziel
Das Ziel unserer Arbeit ist eine systematische Literaturrecherche der Ursachen und Therapieoptionen bei vorderem Knieschmerz.
Ursachen
Es werden patienten- und kniespezifische Gründe diskutiert, die Bedeutung des Prothesendesigns und der Operationstechnik untersucht und funktionelle sowie neurologische Ursachen analysiert. Instabilitäten, eine Druckerhöhung im Patellofemoralgelenk oder ein Patellamaltracking können klinisch als vorderer Knieschmerz imponieren. Hervorgerufen werden sie oft durch mechanische Ursachen, wie eine Fehlrotation der Prothesenkomponenten, Offset-Fehler, Bandinsuffizienzen oder eine Patella baja. Typische funktionelle Gründe für einen vorderen Knieschmerz sind pathologische Gangmuster, Muskelimbalancen oder ein dynamischer Knievalgus. Differenzialdiagnostisch sind diese von infektiösen und entzündlichen Ursachen ebenso zu differenzieren, wie von einem Weichteilimpingement und neurologischen Erkrankungen.
Behandlung
Ein differenzierter Diagnose- und Behandlungs-Algorithmus wird präsentiert. In vielen Fällen existieren konservative Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Bei mechanischen Ursachen ist jedoch häufig eine operative Revision erforderlich.
Abstract
Background
Anterior knee pain is one of the most common complications after total knee arthroplasty. An incidence of up to 30 % has been reported in peer-reviewed studies.
Target
The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature and to identify determinants that have been analyzed with regard to anterior knee pain.
Causes
Patient- and knee-specific characteristics, prosthetic designs and operative techniques are addressed as well as functional and neurologic determinants. Instability, increased contact pressure in the patellofemoral joint and patella maltracking due to malrotation of components, offset errors, ligament insufficiencies or patella baja are mechanical reasons for anterior knee pain. Functional causes include pathologic gait patterns, quadriceps imbalance and dynamic valgus. They have to be differentiated from infectious and inflammatory causes as well as soft tissue impingement, arthrofibrosis and neurologic diseases.
Treatment
A differentiated treatment algorithm is recommended. Often conservative treatment options exist, however, particularly with most mechanical causes revision surgery is necessary.
