We reviewed 100 cemented Endo-model rotating-hinge (Waldemar Link GMBH & Co, Hamburg, Germany) total knee replacements in 80 patients with a mean age of 70 years (56 to 85) at a mean post-operative follow-up of 11 years (7 to 15).

Good or excellent results were seen in 91% of knees and survival at 15 years was 96.1%. There were two deep infections, one dislocation and one supracondylar fracture. There were no peri-operative deaths and there was no loosening, malalignment, migration or wear.

We consider this prosthesis to be ideally suited for the replacement of the deformed knee when the use of an unconstrained design may be questionable.
