Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is one option in the treatment of isolated unicompartmental advanced osteoarthritis (OA). While long-term results exist for medial mobile-bearing (MB) UKA, evidence regarding lateral MB-UKA is still limited. The Oxford Domed Lateral (ODL) implant aims to reduce the bearing dislocation rate in lateral MB-UKA through enhanced bearing entrapment. However, the long-term performance of this implant remains unclear. This study evaluated the long-term survival and clinical outcomes of the ODL in a non-designer centre. This single-centre retrospective analysis included 115 lateral MB-UKAs using the ODL performed between January 2006 and December 2014. The primary endpoint of the study was implant survival, defined as the time until a revision procedure was required for any reason. Secondary outcomes included Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), pain, satisfaction, and Tegner Activity Scale (TAS). Survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis.Aims
Methods
This multicentre retrospective observational study’s aims were to investigate whether there are differences in the occurrence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between the conventional Attune baseplate and its successor, the novel Attune S+, independent from other potentially influencing factors; and whether tibial baseplate design and presence of RLLs are associated with differing risk of revision. A total of 780 patients (39% male; median age 70.7 years (IQR 62.0 to 77.2)) underwent cemented TKA using the Attune Knee System) at five centres, and with the latest radiograph available for the evaluation of RLL at between six and 36 months from surgery. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were performed to assess associations between patient and implant-associated factors on the presence of tibial and femoral RLLs. Differences in revision risk depending on RLLs and tibial baseplate design were investigated with the log-rank test.Aims
