The evolution of total knee arthroplasty

L H Riley

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    High-quality materials and fixation methods are suitable for knee replacement surgery. Surgeons must respect device limitations for successful total knee arthroplasty outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizes materials like high-density polyethylene, chrome cobalt alloy, and stainless steel.
    • Methylmethacrylate serves as a reliable bone cement for prosthetic fixation in TKA.

    Observation:

    • A diverse array of prosthetic knee units are available, offering acceptable clinical results when used appropriately.
    • Indications for TKA are well-established, but contraindications are often overlooked.

    Findings:

    • Prosthetic knee units can fail if implanted in cases of significant bone loss, deformity, or ligamentous instability.
    • Surgeon's understanding of device limitations is crucial for successful TKA.

    Implications:

    • Adherence to device specifications and careful patient selection are paramount for optimal TKA outcomes.
    • Further emphasis on contraindications may improve long-term TKA success rates.
