Cementless Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty: 10 Years Follow-Up.

Abstract

Background Although most TKR surgeries are cemented, the interest in cementless TKR has increased dramatically during the last few years because of the new generation of cementless prostheses and the increased number of young patients who need TKR. Methods Ten years of retrospective reviews of 80 patients who had cementless, complete rotating platform TKR (DePuy Synthes,Warsaw, Indiana) were performed. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age (above and below 70 years old). Functional outcomes at the final follow-up were evaluated clinically by filling out a satisfaction form, and the Oxford Knee Score as well as all medical and surgical complications were recorded for each patient. Results The 10-year cumulative implant survival rate was 100%, i.e. no patients had revision surgeries with no significant statistical difference between the two age groups. The 10-yearevaluation rate was 90%. Conclusion The use of cementless TKA exhibited good survivability, long-term clinical and functional results, and no implant revision in various age groups, as well as a high satisfaction rate. There was no statistically significant difference between the results of different age groups.
