BACKGROUND

Some papers recently reported conflicting results on implant survivorship in all-poly tibial UKRs. Furthermore, the influence of BMI on this specific implant survivorship remains unclear, since existing reports are often based on small series of non-consecutive patients with different follow up durations, enabling to generate meaningful conclusions.

PURPOSE

To determine the 10-years survival rate of an all-poly tibial UKR in a large series of consecutive patients and to investigate whether a correlation exists between a higher BMI and an increased risk of revision for any reason.
