The aim of this study was to evaluate medium-term outcomes and complications of the S-ROM NOILES Rotating Hinge Knee System (DePuy, USA) in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) at a tertiary unit. A retrospective consecutive study of all patients who underwent a rTKA using this implant from January 2005 to December 2018. Outcome measures included reoperations, revision for any cause, complications, and survivorship. Patients and implant survivorship data were identified through both local hospital electronic databases and linked data from the National Joint Registry/NHS Personal Demographic Service. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used at ten years.Aims
Methods
Orthopaedic surgeons use stems in revision knee surgery to obtain
stability when metaphyseal bone is missing. No consensus exists
regarding stem size or method of fixation. This A custom test rig using differential variable reluctance transducers
(DVRTs) was developed to record all translational and rotational
motions at the bone–implant interface. Composite femurs were used.
These were secured to permit variation in flexion angle from 0°
to 90°. Cyclic loads were applied through a tibial component based
on three peaks corresponding to 0°, 10° and 20° flexion from a normal
walking cycle. Three different femoral components were investigated
in this study for cementless and cemented interface conditions.Objectives
