Morphology characters of resected femoral and tibial surface in chinese population: intraoperative anthropometric study in patients at a tertiary hospital.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundsMismatch between knee surface and prosthesis components is related to postoperative complications. Morphological differences between ethnicity and gender may affect prosthesis coverage. The purpose of this study is to describe morphological characters of resected knee surface (distal femur, proximal tibia) in the Chinese population, analyze the influence of gender and other demographical factors, and validate the effect of ethnic difference by calculating the coverage of Western-designed knee prostheses on Chinese knee surface.
methodsIntraoperative anthropometries were performed during total knee arthroplasty performed by one single team. After screening out severe deformities and bone defects, data were separated via prosthesis system. Multiple linear regression and partial correlation analysis of morphological parameters on age, gender, height, weight were used to find out independent factors influencing morphology. Based on the 5 mm-tolerance in the prosthesis, simulation on scatter plots was brought out to calculate the prosthesis coverage to the resected bone surface.
resultsA total of 865 cases of total knee arthroplasty were involved in this study. Though gender differences were found in all knee morphological parameters regardless of the type of prosthesis, significant association was only found between gender and mediolateral width of femoral surface after adjusting demographical factors (p < 0.001). The two included prosthesis systems, Genesis-II and Scorpio NRG covered most cases in at least one dimension. Males had lower complete coverage and higher no coverage rate on femurs. Asymmetry prostheses had higher lateral coverage on tibiae.
conclusionsBased on our analysis, the only confirmed demographical factor in knee morphology is gender on femoral mediolateral length. Wider femoral prostheses for males may improve results of gender-specific prostheses. The overall fitness between Western-designed prostheses and Chinese knee surface is appliable, but the ratio of complete coverage is low. Further modification of prostheses systems can aim at the number of sizes and geometrical shapes.
