Introduction

One of the main considerations in the revision TKR setting is deciding on the level of constraint to be utilized once the bone defects have been reconstructed. There is a fear that employing a maximally constrained insert could compromise long term results. We report on a consecutive series of full tibial and femoral component revisions all treated with a maximally conforming insert and followed for a minimum of 5 years.

Materials and Methods

The study group consisted of 76 consecutive revision TKR in 76 patients where both the femur and the tibia were revised. 4 patients died and 6 were lost to follow up. Final cohort had an average age of 70 years, average BMI of 31 and there were 39 males in the group. Average time to revision was 7 years (range 1–10 years) and the reasons for revision included infection in 28, aseptic loosening 26, osteolysis and poly wear in 9 and 13 other. All were treated with the same revision system and an identical maximally conforming tibial rotating platform insert and followed for an average of 7 years (range 5–14 years).


Aims

Enhanced perioperative protocols have significantly improved patient recovery following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Little has been investigated the effectiveness of these protocols for revision TKA (RTKA). We report on a matched group of aseptic revision and primary TKA patients treated with an identical pain and rehabilitation programmes.

Methods

Overall, 40 aseptic full-component RTKA patients were matched (surgical date, age, sex, and body mass index (BMI)) to a group of primary cemented TKA patients. All RTKAs had new uncemented stemmed femoral and tibial components with metaphyseal sleeves. Both groups were treated with an identical postoperative pain protocol. Patients were followed for at least two years. Knee Society Scores (KSS) at six weeks and at final follow-up were recorded for both groups.

Introduction

Enhanced pain and rehabilitation protocols have significantly improved patient recovery following primary TKR. Little has been written on how the protocols have affected the revision TKR patient. We report on a matched group of revision and primary TKR patients treated with the identical pain and rehab program.

Materials and Methods

40 aseptic RTKR patients who underwent a full femoral and tibial revision were matched by age, sex, and BMI to a group of patients who underwent a cemented tri-compartmental primary TKR. All revision knees had uncemented stemmed femurs and tibias. All 40 patients had either a metaphyseal sleeve on either the femur or tibia or both. Patients in both groups were treated with an identical post op pain protocol (Spinal anesthetic, local infiltrative analgesia and multimodal oral pain management along with rapid rehabilitation). All patients were mobilized on POD1 and allowed weight bearing as tolerated. Patients were followed for a minimum of 1 year. KSS at 6 weeks and 1 year were recorded for both groups.

Aims

The aim of this study was to establish the results of isolated exchange of the tibial polyethylene insert in revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA) in patients with well-fixed femoral or tibial components. We report on a series of RTKAs where only the polyethylene was replaced, and the patients were followed for a mean of 13.2 years (10.0 to 19.1).

Patients and Methods

Our study group consisted of 64 non-infected, grossly stable TKA patients revised over an eight-year period (1998 to 2006). The mean age of the patients at time of revision was 72.2 years (48 to 88). There were 36 females (56%) and 28 males (44%) in the cohort. All patients had received the same cemented, cruciate-retaining patella resurfaced primary TKA. All subsequently underwent an isolated polyethylene insert exchange. The mean time from the primary TKA to RTKA was 9.1 years (2.2 to 16.1).

As the number of younger and more active patients treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to increase, consideration of better fixation as a means of improving implant longevity is required. Cemented TKA remains the reference standard with the largest body of evidence and the longest follow-up to support its use. However, cementless TKA, may offer the opportunity of a more bone-sparing procedure with long lasting biological fixation to the bone. We undertook a review of the literature examining advances of cementless TKA and the reported results.

Gender-specific total knee replacement has generated much interest recently. We reviewed 1970 Sigma knees implanted in 920 women and 592 men with a mean age of 69.7 years.

At a mean follow-up of 7.3 years (minimum, five years), we found minimal differences in the outcome between genders. At the final follow-up, men had a higher overall Knee Society score and more osteolysis (3.8% vs 1.1%). However, there were no significant differences between men and women in terms of complications or improvements in knee function, pain score or range of movement. The estimated ten-year survivorship was 97% in women and 98% in men (p = 0.96).

We concluded that there was little difference in outcome between the genders treated by a modern unisex design of total knee replacement in this large multicentre study.

This retrospective study evaluated the midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes of a second-generation total knee replacement system. In a multicentre consecutive series of 1512 patients, 1970 knees were treated with the PFC Sigma knee system (Depuy, Warsaw, Indiana). The patients were reviewed for functional outcome, and underwent independent radiographic evaluation at a mean follow-up of 7.3 years (5 to 10). A total of 40 knees (2%) required revision, 17 (0.9%) for infection. The incidence of osteolysis was 2.2%. The ten-year survival with revision for any cause other than infection as the endpoint was 97.2% (95% CI 95.4 to 99.1).

The PFC Sigma knee system appears to provide excellent results in the medium term.
