The mid-term survival of cemented, uncemented, and hybrid fixation of the ACS mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Till today, Cemented Fixation in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is significantly more used than Hybrid or Uncemented Fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare Cemented, Uncemented and Hybrid Fixation of the ACS Mobile Bearing TKA at Mid-term follow-up.

Methods: This study was an extended data report of our prospective single-center, single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial comprising 105 patients.

Low rate of return to pre-injury level of sports after multi-ligament knee injury - Functional outcomes after MLKI.

Background: Multi-ligament knee injury (MLKI) is a rare but severe injury with potential devastating complications. The primary goal of this study was to investigate return to sports and work after MLKI. Secondary outcomes were patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), treatment, time between trauma, diagnosis and treatment, and neurovascular damage.

Lower revision rates for cemented fixation in a long-term survival analysis of three different LCS designs.

Background: In primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), it is still not clear if cemented or uncemented fixation has the best long-term survival. The Low Contact Stress (LCS) mobile-bearing (MB) knee system was introduced in 1977. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term survival of this design with a minimum of 15-year follow-up.

Cryotherapy after Total Knee Arthroplasty provides faster recovery and better ranges of motion in short term follow up. Results of a prospective comparative study.

Cryotherapy is applied in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) to improve functional outcome. The aim of this study is to investigate whether an advanced cryotherapy device does not increase the risk of complications and improves knee function or decreases swelling. A prospective cohort of TKA patients was formed by a cryotherapy group and a control group.

What is the role of cemented fixation in total knee arthroplasty? The two-year results of a randomized RSA controlled trial.

Aims: For many designs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) it remains unclear whether cemented or uncemented fixation provides optimal long-term survival. The main limitation in most studies is a retrospective or non-comparative study design. The same is true for comparative trials looking only at the survival rate as extensive sample sizes are needed to detect true differences in fixation and durability.
