Purpose. Although classic teaching holds that the least amount of constraint should be implanted, there is very little in the literature to substantiate this. This study attempts to quantify the influence of constraint and various indications upon functional outcome following aseptic first time

The aim of this study was to identify variables associated with time to revision, demographic details associated with revision indication, and type of prosthesis employed, and to describe the survival of hinge knee arthroplasty (HKA) when used for first-time knee revision surgery and factors that were associated with re-revision. Patient demographic details, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, indication for revision, surgical approach, surgeon grade, implant type (fixed and rotating), time of revision from primary implantation, and re-revision if undertaken were obtained from the National Joint Registry data for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man over an 18-year period (2003 to 2021).Aims

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty is one of the most successful modern surgical interventions with excellent clinical outcomes and implant survivorship. Nevertheless, with the increasing numbers of primary knee replacements being performed and increasing life expectancy, the need for revision arthroplasty continues to grow and is expected to grow considerably in to the future. Stemmed implants are commonly used in

Aim: The purpose of this study was to report our experience mid to long-term results of hybrid cement fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty. Methods: Patients who underwent revision total knee arthroplasty using a hybrid cement technique (press-fit diaphyseal fixation and cemented metaphyseal fixation) with a titanium fluted revision knee implant were reviewed. There were 127 patients. Mean age at surgery was 71 years (range 41–94 years). There were 56 males and 71 females. Mean follow-up was 5 years (range, 2–12 years). A Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis using an end-point of revision surgery or radiographic loosening was employed to determine probability of survival at 5 and 10 years. Results: 127 patients (135 knees), 31 patients (36 knees) died and 2 patients (2 knees) were lost to follow-up. Six patients (six knees) were revised at a mean of 3.5 years (range 1–8 yrs). Of the 6 revisions, two were for re-infection, two were for (MCL) instability, and two were for aseptic loosening. Mean Knee Society clinical and functional scores were 86 and 55 points, respectively. The mean range of motion was 108 degrees. End of stem pain was not reported in this group of patients. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis revealed a probability of survival free of revision for aseptic loosening of 98% at 12 years. Discussion: The results of this study suggest that the use of a hybrid cement technique in
