The Miller-Galante knee prosthesis system: a review of 42 cases

The authors report their experience in 42 total Miller-Galante knee prostheses; 40 of the prostheses have an average follow-up of 25 months (minimum 9, maximum 55). Based on the Hungerford-Kenna clinical evaluation system, 59% of the patients obtained excellent results, 26% good results, 10% fair results, and 5% poor results. Radiographically, there were no cases of loosening of the implant. The joint axis was always well-corrected. A total of 12% of the patients complained of patellar pain (3 cases without either a prosthesis or keiloplasty; 2 cases with a patellar prosthesis). Overall, 85% of the patients obtained excellent or good results.
