Summary
This study evaluated 109 cementless total knee arthroplasties over 10 years. Results show good survivorship, with complications including aseptic loosening, infection, and periprosthetic fractures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure for end-stage knee osteoarthritis.
- Cementless fixation is an alternative to cemented fixation in TKA.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the long-term outcome and survivorship of cementless total knee arthroplasties.
- To analyze clinical results and complications at a 10-year follow-up.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective study of 109 cementless TKAs in 101 patients.
- Data collected from January 2010 to October 2012.
- 10-year follow-up including Oxford Knee Score and complication analysis.
Main Results:
- 47% of patients completed the Oxford Knee Score with an average of 31.2±9.4.
- Two cases of aseptic loosening were reported.
- One case of periprosthetic infection and six periprosthetic fractures occurred.
Conclusions:
- Cementless total knee arthroplasty demonstrates acceptable long-term survivorship.
- Complications such as aseptic loosening, infection, and fracture require monitoring and management.
