Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A retrospective study of a series of 126 consecutive primary cemented total knee replacements using the AGC prosthesis is reported. Sixty-two knees were available for long-term review with an average clinical follow-up of 11.4 years (range, 8.4-13.6 years). The survivorship was 95%, defining the endpoint as revision of all components for any reason except sepsis. The average knee flexion was 110.9 degrees. The average Knee Society score was 91, and the average Knee Society Functional score was 67. There was no finding of tibial polyethylene failure, wear debris-generated osteolysis, or tibial or femoral loosening. Seven metal-backed patellae developed wear-through at an average of 80.4 months (7 of 126 for a 5.5% failure rate), with 3 (2.3%) resulting in complete revision. The authors continue to use the AGC prosthesis with an all-polyethylene patella. Compared with historical controls, the AGC has comparable survivorship. |
