Methods

From October 2011-March 2015, 19 sites prospectively enrolled and implanted 752 Subjects with Existing TKA. Between November 2012 and May 2015, 23 sites (18 sites had enrolled Existing TKAs), implanted 1131 Subjects with the New TKA. Demographics were similar between groups. Subjects were seen preoperatively, <1-year, 1-year, and 2-years to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiographs and any complications. PROMs consisted of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (permits WOMAC scoring), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Patient's Knee Implant Performance (PKIP) and EQ5D-3L and a p-value of 0.01 was established for statistical significance for PROMs comparisons. Kaplan-Meier (KM) implant survivorship (revision of any component for any reason) estimates were calculated.

METHODS

A retrospective review of 188 cemented, fixed bearing unicompartmental (UNI) knee replacements implanted between January 2009 and June 2012 at 3 centers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survivorship, reasons for revision, radiographic and clinical results. A chart review was performed to collect demographics, operative details, American Knee Society (AKS) scores and adverse events (AE) through 2-years post-op. Kaplan-Meier (KM) device survivorship rates for the partial knee construct were estimated for post-op years in which at least 40 subjects had later follow-up. The definition of revision was the removal of any component for any reason, and device survivorship was the lack of revision. The time variable was the time to revision if the knee had been revised, or the time to last clinical follow-up or death if the knee had not been revised.

The average follow-up was 2.03 years (SD=0.4). The mean age was 64 years (SD=10.5), 56% of the patients were 65 years or younger, mean BMI was 27.5 kg/m2 (SD=4.9), 60% of patients were women, and 89% had a diagnosis of OA (9.6% had AVN). Data were collected through April 2015.
