There are case series of debonding of the ATTUNE® tibial component introduced in 2013. We studied the early clinical results of this total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and compared it to other designs at one hospital. This is a retrospective study of 223 consecutive, non-randomized, cemented fixed-bearing posterior-stabilized ATTUNE® TKAs at one hospital by 5 surgeons from 2013 through 2017. We excluded 4 knees with early infection and 53 with follow-up less than 6 months. Of 166 TKAs reviewed, the mean patient age was 63.8 years, mean BMI 32, and mean follow-up 25 months. We compared this to a “control” cohort of 511 TKAs of other manufacturers performed at the same hospital. The endpoints were revision performed and revision pending.Background
