Background:
The purpose of this study is to report the long-term outcomes and survivorship of a high flexion knee system.
Methods:
We identified 1312 patients (1664 knees) who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty with the Vanguard Complete Knee System with 10-year minimum follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative range of motion, Knee Society scores, complications, and reoperations were evaluated.
Results:
At an average of 11.9 years of follow-up, 88 knees were revised (5.3%). The deep infection rate was 1.4%. There was an average range of motion improvement of 3.9°, pain level decreased by 35.8, Knee Society clinical scores improved by 48, and Knee Society functional scores improved by 15.1 (all P < .001). Survival was 96.4% at 10 years for aseptic causes and 95.5% for all causes.
Conclusion:
At a 10-year minimum follow-up, this high flexion knee system demonstrates excellent survivorship.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
