The aim of the study was to evaluate the interest of quantitative bone SPECT-CT in the preoperative assessment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) before unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).Patients eligible for UKA were prospectively included in 2 centers and underwent a preoperative SPECT-CT. Images were reconstructed with an OSEM, an OSCGM (allowing SUV quantification) and an enhanced OSCGM (containing uptakes to bones) algorithms. Visual analysis and quantification (SUVmax) were performed for each compartment (medial compartment [MC], lateral compartment [LC], and patellofemoral compartment [PFC]). Clinical data were preoperatively assessed. The gold standard was the per-operative OA staging (International Cartilage Repair Society [ICRS] scale). Spearman's correlation coefficient was used for correlations. Sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of SPECT-CT were assessed.One hundred three patients (50 women, 53 men, mean age = 64.5 ± 10.3 y/o, 120 preoperative knees) were analyzed. There was no correlation between SUVmax and clinical data. There was a correlation between ICRS staging and SUVmax with both OSCGM (MC [rs = 0.25], LC [rs = 0.51], and PFC [rs = 0.27]), and enhanced OSCGM, except in the PFC (MC [rs = 0.22], LC [rs = 0.62], and PFC [rs = 0.03]). The Se, Sp, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of SPECT-CT were, respectively, 0.99, 0.67, 0.98, 0.80, 0.97 for the MC; 0.50, 0.85, 0.42, 0.89, 0.79 for the LC; and 0.23, 0.86, 0.50, 0.64, 0.62 for the PFC.Bone SPECT-CT SUVmax is correlated with per-operative OA staging. Despite the low sensitivity of SPECT-CT in the LC, its high specificity in the LC should prompt the surgeon to be vigilant before UKA surgery.
