Abstract

Background

Oxidized zirconium (OxZr) has been introduced as an alternative bearing for femoral components in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). It has a ceramic-like zirconium oxide outer layer with a low coefficient of friction. Early studies have found OxZr TKA to have a low incidence of early failure in young high demand patients. Currently no study has reported on the outcome of these implants beyond ten years.

Objectives

The purpose of our study was to present an in-depth 15-year survival analysis of cemented Profix II OxZr TKA.
