balanSys REV – Extension Gap First: 3in1 –

Preoperative planning
A complete history and physical examination of the failed knee arthroplasty is neces-
sary before revision surgery. It is necessary to understand and to determine the cause
of a failed implant preoperatively in order to maximize the probability of postopera-
tive success. Preoperative radiographies are essential for surgical planning. Radiogra-
phies of the knee in two views are recommended: A single-leg stance radiography
in the anterior-posterior (A-P) plane, and a lateral radiography of the knee joint in
90° flexion or in extension. In addition, a long-leg radiography with loading of both
legs is needed. It is useful to have a ‹skyline› or ‹sunrise› view of the patella in 40°
flexion as well.
Radiographies are needed to identify and quantify deformities and bone defects as
well as osteophytes. Using planning templates, the size of the femoral and tibial
prosthesis can be initially determined. Long-leg radiographies help to detect devia-
tions of the axis and deformities in the diaphyseal area of the femur and the tibia.
Long-leg radiographies help also to determine whether intramedullary alignment
can be performed. If bone defects exist preoperatively, the surgeon performing the
procedure must understand the implications of this bone loss as well as the tech-
niques required to manage them. In a revision situation, the balanSys REV Measuring
Template should be used to estimate the size of the femoral component by templat-
ing from a true lateral x-ray of the contralateral knee. Intraoperative restoration of
the appropriate A / P dimension of the femur will yield the most appropriate flexion
gap which can then be used to help determine the extension gap. Estimate the need
for posterior femoral augmentation by overlaying the appropriate size femoral tem-
plate on the lateral x-ray of a failed knee implant. Templating the proximal / distal
position of the femoral component on an A / P x-ray is often difficult. Use the inferior
pole of the patella to help determine the appropriate position of the joint line. Tem-
plating the tibial component can produce similar information. Determine the level of
bone resection and the possible need for augmentation or an offset stem by center-
ing the tibial stem within the tibial canal on the x-ray.
For the use of balanSys REV implants in a complex primary situation the alignment
and sizing of the components follows the same landmarks as balanSys BICONDY-
